  • For real… I got downvoted into oblivion for a valid criticism.

    And listen, I’m a huge FOSS nerd… I only use linux on my computers. I selfhost a shitload of FOSS services to maintain control and privacy. I run LineageOS on my phones and 90% of my apps are from f-droid. I say all that because obviously I would love to use Firefox mobile instead of another chromium based browser, but it’s a turd… it doesn’t have a functioning home button for fucks sake, it’s been a known issue for over 5 years, and they haven’t fixed it.

    And why is something so seemingly simple not been fixed? Is it spaghetti code? Is it on purpose to force you to use their start page? I don’t know, but I know there is no way around it. There are no extensions that fix it and none of the forks have added the functionality… despite plenty of people wanting it.



  • That doesn’t work for me, I need a home button in the browser to take me to the dashboard.

    My workflow is open browser and I’m on my dashboard and I select something like my selfhosted paperless-ngx and now I want to get back to my dashboard again to go to sonarr. Right now that is one button press on home. Then I’m done with sonarr and I want to open my to do list, again just press home button. Every other method is more than one button press and less efficient. I shouldn’t have to be less efficient because Firefox doesn’t have a basic feature that every other browser has had since the beginning of time.

    This has been a known problem with Firefox for 5+ years. And what’s worse is that at one point in the past, Firefox mobile did have the ability to add a custom URL to the homepage but at some point they broke it. Which is why I stopped using it. And they have very little care to fix it. Just look at the comments in the github issue, plenty of people care about it.



  • You can’t set the home button to a custom URL in Firefox mobile… that “home” button forces you to use the Firefox start page. That’s not really a home button. I need the home button to take me to my selfhosted dashboard because that’s where everything I ever want to get to is and it’s something I can control and customize to my liking. I shouldn’t be forced to use Firefox’s shitty start page… that’s a start page button, not a home button despite what they call it.

    Fast food is ridiculous, it used to be half the price but you can go to a bar and grill or a family restaurant and get better food for the same price now. I rarely consider it any longer unless I’m really crunched on time or have no other options. It’s such a ripoff these days.
