Firefox Keeps Getting Faster

My main peave using FF on macOS is full-screening it is a terrible experience - unlike Safari, etc, moving the mouse to the top of the screen causes all the chrome (tabs, URL bar, etc) to shift down (and reveal some useless gap). That's not normal behavior, and should have been fixed 5 years ago.

Also, once you use Safari tab groups + tab preview its hard to go back to FF.

You're still using Safari when you use Firefox on Mac. Mozilla could perhaps give more attention to bugs in the chrome, but it's understandable they allocate fewer resources to a platform that will never see Firefox's rendering.

You're confusing macOS and iOS. Only Firefox on iOS uses WebKit due to App Store rules.

That's true of iOS, not of macOS.

The extra bar from the mouse-over is kind of silly but, a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE?

Yes, it should be fixed though.

Its very terrible, because the UI actually shifts away from your mouse when you are about to click on something.
