Jeebus! --just bring back text-reflow and allow us to install our own extensions if you want to offer something that's going to make any Android user think of switching.

At the moment what Firefox offers is like a much slower version of Chrome with a couple of trivially unimportant 'features' like this bolted on. That isn't going to tempt anyone.


I hope it works this time. Sending tabs/web sites to another device's Firefox via Firefox Sync never worked well. It sometimes worked, but often the web site sent just disappeared.


If you're on Nightly you might have already seen it, but you should be able to access it with `about:firefoxview`. Makes the Firefox Android sync integration so much more useful.
