    I was using the addons I need on my Android Firefox. That part was great. I think most of my issues were more due to the browser engine lacking behind on Android and just feeling janky compared to how smooth and well functioning Chromium based browsers were.

    I’ve tried a few Firefox forks on Android here and there and it was usually a few improvements here and there but overall the experience was similar.

    A big recent issue was that Firefox initially loaded for a really long time so doing a quick search was anmoying the first time I launched it. Another issue was how often Firefox was killed in the background. That’s partly due to Xiaomi and Android, but for whatever reason even mega bloated chromium browers don’t do that. Then bunch of small issues like browser theme not changing with the rest of the system or changing partially that suddenly I had white on white or black on black and I had to kill Firefox to fix the issue. The Android experience has always been janky for me with FF and I’ve used it for idk as long as I remember it being on Android

      I am.sorry to hear this. But I feel your pain. A few years ago I had a phone where some apps just where buggy as hell for some reason. There are so many factors contributing to app stability on Android:

      • Android version
      • Possible customisations from the phone manufacturer (bloatware, battery optimisations etc.)
      • Phone hardware, especially working memory and CPU

      My current phone has 8 GB working memory and like 40 GB free memory available. It also runs a approx. five year old LineageOS installation, upgraded each year as stated on their website. Currently its LineageOS 22.2 (android 15).

      All of this may or may not have great impact on how well FF Android runs.
