I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

The fact you can't install local extensions without them being removed when you restart

[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmmm. Are you sure?

I have installed extensions from one furefox profile, directly to another, referencing the stored xpi file, without them getting removed.

Is it unsigned extensions that get removed?

Yes, unsigned extensions. To get a xpi you have to go through their online process
