Problem you are trying to solve
When trying to transfer settings from Thunderbird for Desktop, you have to scan at least one QR Code. Especially when you have to scan multiple QR Codes, the feedback for successful scanning is very lacking. Other scanners give you much better visual feedback or even haptic feedback. Instead, only the little text below the viewer indicates success.
Suggested solution
Give much more clear visual and/or haptic feedback upon successful scan.
