Can't decipher various symbols because I communicate with words made of symbols called the alphabet, not hieroglyphs.
The hieroglyphs that have inundated mobile apps are fking indecipherable. Tell me, what does a symbol of four solid squares bounded by a dotted square mean? To a fking cave man it's probably the name of a city, but here, in the modern world, where we communicate by making words out of common symbols known to many, (we call it an alphabet, part of this thing called language, which facilitates communication and reduces confusion), ALL IT IS IS FOUR SQUARES IN A BOX. I shouldn't need to learn a new language to use a tablet, when someone who speaks my language could simply put WORDS in the 'buttons,' or whatever they're called. Does the clipboard mean copy to the clipboard, or from it?? I can't use the process of elimination, because none of the other caveman symbols are labeled either! If Firefox is trying to emulate windows 8, please, please, please for the love of god, stop. No one like windows 8.
Yes that was a rant. Yes I can look up the meanings of all these cute little pictures that some harried millennial thought were 'innovative.' I can even get tutorials on YouTube on how to use Firefox! Great! I can waste time relearning how to use a fking web browser, because never mind that b

Never mind that an errant fingertip touched the screen and cut off my rant, I'm just glad that this time it didn't delete my whole damn comment!
Here's the question: can I make all the stupid symbols, all of them, into words? Otherwise, I'm gonna trash all this mobile touchscreen crap go back to reading paper books. This tech isn't helpful, it's a pain in the ass.
What sites are you getting these symbols on? Let's see if I can reproduce them.
