Welcome a new Fennec F-Droid

It’s Enable “Tab Manager Enhancements” in secret settings which enables new tab ui design and it’s enabled by default in nightly build.

Yes, this setting is only for Nightly or Debug:

requirePreference<SwitchPreference>(R.string.pref_key_tab_manager_enhancements).apply {
        isVisible = Config.channel.isNightlyOrDebug
        isChecked = context.settings().tabManagerEnhancementsEnabled
        onPreferenceChangeListener = SharedPreferenceUpdater()
    }

Yeah, it was there in debug menu of build 145 of Ironfox , I thought you guy must’ve included it too but I guess it’s not.

Fennec doesnt retain changes made in about config for example disable javascript, fission.autostart, uri/url empty/null domains etc.

another q, why does fennec connect/preconnect/prefetch/opens connections to urls saved in bookmarks at browser start and how to disable this?

Firefox for Android shares a lot of code with the desktop version, but it also contains components written specifically for Android. There is simply no path in the code that passes settings made in about:config to those components. That’s by design because Mozilla decided not to give us about:config.

Noticed recently that the CAD extension (cookies auto delete) extension does not work at all.

It pretends to work - saying deleted this or that cookies but the cookies are still there and still accessible by the servers. A look at the GitHub page of the project… dead project. The fact has been reported a few times to Mozilla but apparently no one cares there even though it is an officially reviewed extension.

Beware of the false sense of privacy.
