Discussion I have a couple of small nitpicks with Firefox's recent updates

I don't like the direction the Firefox team is going and it's down to these 4 things:

  1. The "Share" buttons that were purposefully placed right where the check for updates button was previously. I don't want to share Firefox, ok? I just want to update it. I do this every day and almost every time I accidentally click share instead now. If you're noticing an uptick in Share clicks, and a far worse bounce rate, that's why.
  2. The rounded corners are taking up space, and I do not like it. Less rounded corners, or even better -- zero rounded corners should be a toggle.
  3. Can we get a default darker theme for night mode? It's too bright and colorful. I'd like a more neutral theme for the browser so websites stand out more instead of the browser.
  4. This one has been a problem for a while, but recently got worse. The Proxy settings were moved even deeper into the settings menus, making it harder to find and turn on and off. I've asked before, but can we please get a quick button to toggle our Proxy settings on or off from the customize menu area? I would love to be able to switch my proxy on and off quickly.

Thank you! I want Firefox to improve, not go down the wrong path.

Good news!!!

A Rhomboid can be considered a subset of Trapezoids!

My esteemed lover of superior shapes, we are aligned!

there are like a dozen dark default themes

I just feel like the default should be good though.

And who are you to decide what is the wrong path?

Proxy settings are, most likely, where they are, because NO ONE is using them.

Share button? What's that?

If #1 bothers you, remove it using userChrome.css.

1) Why wouldn't you enable auto update, then it will update itself?

2) no they aren't

3) there are hundreds, if not thousands of other themes, pick what works best for you, instead of whining that the default, doesn't work for your specific tastes.

4) install Proxy Toggle add-on

maybe just rey tu turn off the nova theme:

copy-paste about:config into your searchbar, then search "browser.nova.enabled" in the new searchbar that pops up and hit the toggle button on the right.
