The UI for Fenix is dated. Some things need a little bit of love and others just don’t make sense at all, like when you paste a URL, you can’t see the URL or the Paste and Paste & Go options because the system pop up gets in the way.
Material Design and by extension Android moved away from pop ups and toasts and adopted elements like bottom sheets.
The custom share sheet is a nuisance and there’s not even a way to get to the native share sheet.
Firefox for Android works, but it doesn’t look or feel like a modern browser that was designed for modern Android.
So being that Android design has evolved so much since Fenix last got a lick of paint, I’m wondering, has anyone heard of anything in the works? Seen any commits or mockups? Screenshots? A mention on Matrix or the mailing lists?
Saw someone open a PR with this fully implemented a couple of months ago.
Goddamned PM faffed about “UI research necessary before we make changes”, linked them to a bugzilla post closed in favor of a JIRA ticket only internal users could view…
And then closed the PR, denying the change. And we wonder why Mozilla has been struggling so much lately.
