I wish that were true. But from other software redesigns and improvements, I learned that new designs often come with simplifications and reduction of functionality. Missing about:config and very simple Settings page is frightening me. Firefox and Mozilla saved the world from IE monopoly and it was always targeting power users but I fear that might change. :( So far I am happy with mobile FF but so far pretty unhappy with this preview. Almost everyone talks about bottom address bar (which after clicking moves on top anyway) and the speed. I am alergic to oversimplification ala new apple designs. I fear of: "We've reinvented mobile browsing. Now there is one big blowing button and an animation of colorful unicorns where you can customize the speed of movement and size of its horn. applause It loads 2x times faster but you can't configure anything else because it's using our next-gen AI which learns your habits and automatically enables pull to refresh after after 50 swipes down (no way to disable) and starts blocking some ads (except those participating in OurSafeAD(tm) program) once it detects from your eye movement you are trying to avoid looking at them"
