I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it’s not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

    It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use

    As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.

      Not many people use it because it is hidden away and not default.

      Firefox in compact mode is about as compact as Chromium, so no issue here.

          it used to be visible as an option in ‘customize toolbar’. it was deprecated and deemed ‘unsupported’ way back around v89, but at least they kept it available as a ‘hidden’ setting.

          i use it on every pc i have firefox installed on (which is, well, all of them that aren’t ‘terminal only’).

    The people who make it their business to go through Firefox looking for features to remove almost got it, but the public outcry against its complete removal seems to have deterred them for now.
