Can’t agree more… It’s sad when dev are not using their own products. Or at least those in power.
It would push for making things more convenient. For instance I would love having group tabs…
At least it’s a lot better than initially when they released Fenix with a ton of questionable decisions. Like, who thought about collections… Just a bookmarks folder which don’t sync…
Some of the design decisions and indecisions that have come from the UX team has led me to feel like none of them actually use Android, let alone Firefox for Android. But I’d absolutely love to be wrong about this and just ignorant of their vision and their passion for modern Android design. It can’t be easy to try and deploy designs and see a design come to fruition, only to not have the staff to implement it. It’s worth mentioning that the size of Fenix Team is miniscule compared to the desktop team or even the combined sum of people working on AI. Which is crazy given the size of the mobile market.
That said, they got there in the end and I’m happy with the implementation whereby they put the navigation at the top for people who want the address bar at the top and at the bottom for people who want the address bar at the bottom.
The people who put it at the top clearly are not using FF on Android themselves.

I find the very notion that collections are still a thing, offensive. Such a waste of time and effort.
i use collections
but, you’re right, i can easily replace them with a bookmarks folder
