Wow, I was afraid you wouldn’t ask about mobile Firefox! It’s fantastic to see this version isn’t forget, too. It’s hard even to rank what of the things below I need more in my browsing experience.
Let’s start from the shortcuts.
1. I definitely need to to have a possibility to change a pinned site’s (shortcut’s) URL. For example, BBC News often have a special page on their site for a lasting event, and due to the technical limitations sometimes they have to stop posting on one page and start a new page instead. It would be convenient for me just to copy their new page’s URL and to edit a shortcut I have. Now I have to delete from shortcuts their old page and then to add to shortcuts the new one. And of course this new shortcut becomes tha last in a list. Long story short: when I do a long tap on a shortcut I would like to see “Change URL” in a list.
2. Another option which would be good to have is letting users to organize their shortcuts manually by long-pressing on them. Just the way we can change the order of the open tabs in a tab tray. Something like this: do a long tap and keep a finger on a screen to move the shortcut or do a long tap and take a finger away to see a drop-dowm menu (“Open in private tab”, “Rename”, “Remove” and (I hope) “Change URL”).
3. As I mentioned in a desktop Firefox discussions, I would like to have more characters to be shown in a shortcut’s name in a mobile Firefox too. Maybe the name can have two lines?
4. And I would also like to have more rows for shortcuts. Two screens with 8 shortcuts (two rows, four columns, 2×4) on each, as we have now, is less convenient for me than one screen with 16 shortcuts (4×4) on it. Of course if it is possible to have more rows it is even better. Or to have more columns as well, as people use mobile Firefox also on tablet computers and they have bigger screens than smartphones.
Aside of shortcuts I also love “Jump back in” option. It is really help me in my browsing. I cannot say anything good or bad about “Recent bookmarks” and “Recently visited” as I have them switched off.
I tried to use “Collections” but unfortunately I couldn’t for the following reasons:
a. I can’t rename a site in a collection, when the default is either too long or too short or just ugly. I guess it depends on every site own preferences or something but anyways.
b. I can’t change URL of a site in a collection.
c. I can’t organize neither collections list itself nor sites inside of a collection (move them up or down).
d. Collections can’t be synced so I lost them once when my previous phone died, and after that I chose to use bookmarks and their folders instead as they have none of these problems.
Maybe I didn’t use them right but it’s just my experience.
Thank you for your attention.
