Share button in firefox ios

[Jack95]

In most browsers the share button is openly displayed on the website you’re visiting. Either in the toolbar beside the back, forward and tab buttons like in safari. Or beside the address button like in chrome.

 but in firefox, to share something to a friend or colleague, you have to go in to the browser menu to find the share button. I think it would be better to display that button openly, it doesn’t matter if you do it the safari way or the chrome way. Just display it so everyone can find it.

Why is the share button hidden in firefox ios?

Why is the share button hidden in firefox ios? In most browsers the button for sharing things is either in the toolbar together with back, forward and so on. Or beside the address and reader view buttons. But here in fx if you want to share an article, a recipe, a video etc. with a friend, you have to go into the browser menu and scroll down. Wouldn’t it be better to place the share button more accessibly?

The share button is also needed as an optional toolbar item for Firefox for MacOS.

Having the share button available is long overdue. It’s not only for social sharing. It is also to add/save links to any other service in your system: Notes, read-later apps, save to cloud locations, print as pdf, email…
