2 weeks ago My main annoyance is how it squishes the tabs at the top
This... is annoying for those who use a lot of tabs indeed, it's how Chromium did it back then but I do wanna make disabling the tab scrolling an option, just not sure how yet.
none of the options for colors are the same along with the way it shows borders.
I am not sure what's being talked about here, could you elaborate?
how Chrome changed downloads to pop up at the top rather than down to the status bar. Is there an option for this?
The download shelf does exist in Geckium (https://youtu.be/hBZe_jbpN3k, and you can unpin the downloads button), has it not been working for you?
because the underlaying page would come to the forefront and you could just drop it.
I am assuming you mean the window here? This whole functionality has always been superior in Chrome in my opinion, unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do about this in Firefox, not without making a whole other Firefox fork at least 🤔
Chrome splits the screen while Firefox shows it at the bottom.
You can choose where the developer tools show up:
Firefox just makes it extremely zoomed out...
I am assuming Chrome does some scaling for people's screen resolution, while Firefox just sets the mobile resolution and does no scaling, making it appear very small. Also something I can't fix, but maybe there's a way to suggest this to Mozilla via Bugzilla?

I finally switched to Firefox back in May and there were a few things that still bugged me that I managed to work around and it turned out almost perfect. I just saw a video on this and thought maybe it might fix some things that were lacking. Unfortunately, it made things worse. My main annoyance is how it squishes the tabs at the top and none of the options for colors are the same along with the way it shows borders. I'm completely fine with the way Firefox has these besides the tab list and other unnecessary buttons. I'd prefer the default 'puzzle piece' icon Firefox uses as well.
Another thing that bugged me was how Chrome changed downloads to pop up at the top rather than down to the status bar. Is there an option for this? I use IDM but sometimes it misses downloads and I don't know when things have downloaded or even began.
Another nice touch is grabbing a tab from the top and dropping it in the center to open in an empty tab set. This is by default. But on Chrome, you could grab that tab and bring it back to the other tab group because the underlaying page would come to the forefront and you could just drop it. Currently I have to hit alt+tab which isn't a major deal, but it's still annoying.
My main pet peeve with firefox is the dev window options being laid out differently. Chrome splits the screen while Firefox shows it at the bottom. And the mobile button resizes on chrome to display as an Android device would with touch options while Firefox just makes it extremely zoomed out... I don't know what they're doing there.
These changes would make it excellent. For now, I will stick with my manual changes but cool project, nonetheless!
