In Firefox mobile I hope they fixed the bug with variable text size in many sites, including this. Do you ever tried to read a Phoronix forum thread with Firefox mobile? That's a royal PITA.

I like that Firefox is using GTK2, because GTK2 won't die and more importantly we don't get the pile of shit "Save as..." GTK3 dialog which forces you to manually navigate to the destination folder instead of remembering the last one.
For most purpose Firefox uses the XUL toolkit.
I believe I will use Flash 11.2 till 2017 (end of life) or at the least mid 2016 (linux mint 18), expecting to still run X11 without a compositor.
X11, real 2D desktop, flash 11.2 => stable, up to date and not many problems
It's the "LTS" of graphics and flash and works with any graphics card even one 16-year-old.

Originally posted by Luke View PostFirefox can probably run in Xwayland now, so there would always be the option of a wayland native build without flash support alongside a "firefox-legacy"
built with gtk2 and without flash to handle non-HTLM5 cases, perhaps auto-launched. Another way would be to port the whole mess to QT, and then run
any Flash elements in an xwayland window. Gtk2 and QT should be able to get along, unlike GTk2 and Gtk3 in the same process.
Some applications allow to choose between GTK2 and GTK3 with at most a restart, which is easier than a recompile.

Originally posted by DanL View PostNo, but you can just toggle a key (browser.search.showOneOffButtons) in about:config if you don't like it. I don't know if it's broken, but it could definitely be smoother/faster (at least that's my impression for the 2 times I used it before getting annoyed and disabling it).

That GTK3 filechooser widget is an utter mess right now

That GTK3 file chooser widget was seriously screwed up in GTK3.14. The sidebar is a disaster with items spaced way too far apart-and worse yet, there
is a rendering bug that causes items to partially double-display when moused over. Having this is Firefox before it is fixed in GNOME would be a total
mess.
