I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it’s not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

    Because it involves maintenance work and does not necessarily generate income…?

      So does almost any other feature. How is a feature generate income? I mean we could strip out almost any feature with that argument.

        Well, they referenced Pocket. That is a service Mozilla operates to diversify their income.

      Firefox doesn’t generate income, except maybe the Pocket feature. It really shouldn’t need that much maintenance, just check it before doing big UI redesigns. Most releases probably don’t impact it.

        Well, arguably it is broken since the last redesign. You need non-compact tabs to fit additional tab infos in there, e.g. that a tab is playing audio or using your camera.

            Hmm, for audio playing, they do then show a speaker icon in place of the favicon, if that’s what you’re seeing. In the non-compact tabs, it also says “PLAYING” underneath the tab title, though. And I believe, it also shows a similar text for when the microphone or camera is in use, and they don’t have icons for those…
