Great blog post!

re: mobile-config-firefox

Regarding the tab bar: There's been some customization in a no longer available fork that CSS-hacked the tab-switcher next to the appMenu, but it's even more prone to breakage than the other hacks we ship. I played with this around #39c3, and I went back to the current way because I prefer being able to close and open tabs with one tap.

Landscape: Currently, when the width of the window is larger than 700 logical pixels, we just fall back to firefox default behaviour (except for the tabcounter), see also https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox/-/issues/37.
The above fork also shipped a single bar for landscape. If we were to keep that single bar at the top, that might be something that could be almost shippable - as having the browser chrome at the bottom just adds the necessity for a bunch of hacks, since that's not Firefox's default. Even then, it only makes sense if https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox/-/issues/107 turns out to be unrealisitic.

Extensions: The extension issue is unfortunate, but well-known, for me (at least on Phosh), trying a second time often helps and makes the addin content show. (We shipped this, as the alternative was to have non-scrollable extensions, which was even worse and impacted the usability of 'shipped-by-default' uBlock Origin .)

Thanks for the feedback and ... contributions welcome ;-)
