Still no sign of any of the things that matter to me.
If I am to consider using Chromium Edge instead of Firefox, I absolutely need:
1 Middle-click on favorites in favorites menus and sub-menus to leave the menus OPEN so that additional favorites can be clicked on without having to re-open and re-navigate the favorites menus for each one, as per IE, Edge Classic and Firefox (and every browser I've used as my normal browser since at least 2005).
2 Option for more quick links on New Tab page (ideally option for one or two rows, and option for how many in a row).
3 As I won't use a desktop browser that won't sync favorites, passwords, history etc with an Android browser I am prepared to use on my phone, and as I'm not prepared to use an Android browser with controls at the bottom of the screen so won't use current Android Edge, either: (a) get the Android Edge team to provide an option to move the bottom control bar to the top, like Firefox preview now has; or (b) this desktop Edge needs to be able to sync (not just one off import) favorites, history etc with another brand of Android browser I WILL use, with Firefox and Google Chrome being the current possibles.
Note with respect to 1 above: it occurred to me a possibility for me to be able to open several favorites (which ones varying each time, not a constant group I can have alone in one folder) without having to re-open and re-navigate the favorites menus for each one would be for me to pin edge://favorites/, and use that rather than the favorites bar or button. Would mean an extra click each time, and lose my current selected tab, but I can middle-click several favorites in it without closing menus. EXCEPT I then find that my OTHER need is lost - middle-clicking on a favorites folder/sub-folder to open ALL favorites in the folder, which I also do many times a day. That works in the favorites menus from the favorites bar, but DOESN'T work in the Manage Favorites page. WTF? In Firefox, middle-clicking on favorites in favorite bar menus keeps the menu open and middle-clicking on a folder there opens all favorites in the menu; and in the manage favorites page middle-clicking on a favorite opens it in a background tab so I can open several in a row, while middle-clicking on a folder of favorites there DOES open all favorites in the folder - I can happily use either the favorites bar or the manage favorites page. But you guys have managed to bork different parts of BOTH methods: middle-clicking to open all in a folder works in the dopdown menus, but middle-clicking on a favorite doesn't leave the menu open so I can pick several without re-opening and re-navigating each time.; using the pinned favorite page lets me middle-click on several favorites and have them open in background tabs so no -re-opening and navigating, but middle-clicking on a folder there does NOTHING. (Yes, I can right click and then scroll in the context menu to open all, but WHY should I have to?)
You have simply made my normal browsing too cumbersome as compared with other browsers, and even IE. I should be able to open all favorites in a folder with one click AND open several individual favorites with nothing more than one click each, no re-opening, re-navigating, context menus or any of that like other browsers manage and other Microsoft browsers have managed. Sort yourselves out - there is no possibility of me using this browser until and unless you do.
I'm on Firefox 73 now and middle clicking on the bookmark/favorite drop down menu on the top-right closes it and Firefox automatically switches to the new tab. this is the default behavior and there is no option in Firefox that i could find to change it for the bookmarks bar.
