    I wish Firefox would stop rolling out redesigns, color themes, and other visual tweaks every couple years and instead focus on features and bugs.

    Improve Adblock capabilities, better tab and session management, improve sync, improve site css and js management, built in dark-mode.

    Hell, just look at the list of most used extensions, it’s a great place to start understanding what users want.

      It has built-in dark mode, check out the Themes in your settings.

        Right, I had an option to choose it (I think I chose device default, though I'm not exactly sure what it means on Windows but I assume it's like "system theme" on Android).

        The whiplash from seeing that selectable on my screen to seeing someone claim it's not there in the same 60 seconds is really something.

          There's a lot of HN users who are just absolutely furious about Firefox and will jump into any thread to scream about how much they hate it and everyone involved in making it. The heat behind the complaints is so out of proportion it would be comical if they weren't targeting real people. It's baffling to me the scale of negativity people have to this actually pretty good piece of software existing in an unbelievably hostile product space.

            Graphical applications should never ever never change the UI. Change the default for initializing an empty config, like on a new machine, if you like but never change what's already a running config.
