Are you suggesting this is bad? What was better about “old” Firefox for Android?

No, this is similar to the old Firefox for Android, which is why I like it.

When you could just browse AMO and add an add-on at will. It was also much smoother.

now that’s just rose-tinted glasses speaking. I remember how absolutely abysmal old Firefox’ scrolling was, and how they’ve claimed multiple times that they’ve improved it but it was still horribly sluggish compared to Chromium browsers. I’ve been using Firefox Preview (and then Nightly after enough performance improvements have landed on it) for about a year just to have acceptable experience on mobile.

Honestly the one thing I don’t like is how pages constantly refresh when you alt tab (or w/e the equivalent is on Android - swipe tab I guess?). I know it’s a small thing but it just gets at me. I also like the old UI as it was more Firefox-y; the new one is too white and plain.

I agree with you. This is going to be a huge improvement and hopefully get more people to switch from Chrome.

Hopefully it’s a sign of more good things to come.
