Just downloaded FF this week and started using it as my primary browser as I start to transition from Chromium-based browsers.

May I ask what you did to configure your browser that way (extensions/settings)? I like the look of it, and looking for ways to customize my setup.

View on HN

Tree Style Tabs are nice. I also have it set up so the URL bar doesn't include search -- and the search bar is separate. This makes it easier to get to the right place by starting to type a url in the url bar. I often just type one letter and then press enter, and voila, I'm where I want to be. It "learns" over time what you're typing in.

Also, of course, you should install uBlock Origin.

  uBlock Origin
  Sidebery
  QuickCut
  SingleFile
  Popup window
  Firefox Multi-Account Containers
  Copy All Tab Urls

Also:

Privacy Badger

Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials

Privacy Possum

Also try sideberry. I moved to it from TST and like it so far.
