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?

    Can we please get bookmarks to remember your most recently used folder? Whenever I want to open a bookmark, I’m forced to start at the root folder and navigate around to find the folder and bookmark I want. If I just used a bookmark from some subfolder of my bookmarks, then I go to open a new one, the bookmark folder should be the last one I used. Instead it always starts at root.

    It’s incredibly annoying. All other browsers (including Firefox on iOS) get this right. There have been multiple requests / bugs filed for this for years, but so far nothing.
