Last time I checked, the tab closed button was still on the right side of the tab. On the macOS version. This is a deal breaker. Therefore FF is useless to me as a Mac user.

Other browsers on the Mac have this correct. Safari, Opera, Vivaldi at least.

Vivaldi is the other contender, who is at least on par if not better with FF in terms of privacy.

Problematic privacy is of course the reason why Chrome wasn't even installed on my machines ever. Opera and (arguably so) Brave are the others with privacy endangering issues.

There are other Mac only options, but they have even worse problems, being cloud dependent and whatnot.

I do like the concepts of what they are trying to do in most of the cases, but for now I prefer the clarity of Safari.

Now, some of you might not be Mac developers, so let me say something about app development on the Mac. There is a manual with guidelines of how to do it. It is called the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and that stuff is very important. It would be a very interesting process to develop something like this for a desktop Linux, btw.

When I have to work with apps that don't adhere to the HIG, that's bad for productivity and enjoyment. So I don't.

In the case of FF I was willing to hack the UI CSS to correct the button issue. Hey, it's FF after all. Two upgrades later, the thing wasn't working any more. Ok, bye bye FF!

For a while FF was the most microsoftian app on my Mac, because it always announced it's updates without me being able to silent those notifications.

I am still watching, it's FF after all, but if Mozilla can't correct these (actually minor) issues of keeping the UI clean, I can't have it.
