What are some examples of features rhat should be native but aren't?
I use a couple extensions but nothing that I think should be in the core browser.
I think container tabs, which is currently an official Mozilla extension, should be native.
It is native, isn't it?
No, unfortunately not https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/
I don't have that addon and I can use container tabs without any problems. Currently on Firefox 125.
You still need an extension to automatically open specific sites in their own containers. I genuinely don't get why.
Damn, that's another thing about Firefox that absolutely drives me crazy. They implement some feature as an extension, then they include it with the browser by default and just leave the extension there for some reason. It's the exact same thing with Firefox translations, it's integrated into the browser now but they still have an extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/
iirc, you install it via an extension. It's simple enough. I just love the feature.
