So, downloaded this a while ago, and decided to give it a try, and.... Well, if'n you asked me last year, I would've given it a thumbs up, but this year, not so much. I'm on LMDE, and it's only available as a FlatPak, with a choice of one.ablaze.floorp V11.4 or Floorp Lightning V11.7. Considering that their site says 11.7 is current, it made sense to switch. Their big claim to fame is the customizability of the browser, and I'd've agreed with you last week when I was running 11.4, I had the bookmark bar at the bottom, and the tab bar under the toolbar. Problem is that yesterday I realized (yeah, dunno how I hadn't noticed for hours) that those were back in the standard FireFox locations, so I went to fix it... Ummm, those customizations seem to be gone. Other problems do seem to be fixed, in the old version, you'd click a link, and nothing would happen for seconds, and then suddenly the new page was there. Some of my log ins don't seem to stick, which is annoying. Over all though, it does work fine.
So, in the end, without the customization, there's not much point to it, you get a status bar at the bottom of the window that seems to be little more than a waste of space. Sure, I like the Thunderbird like toolbar on the side, and having random pics from my wallpapers folder show up as the launch page background is cool, but... Well, I could live without those, assuming I can't find extensions to add them to FireFox.
Sadly, this gets a thumbs down from me. Any of y'all try it?
