Sounds like you don’t have an adblocker.

Nope. He’s right. There are similar threads on reddit too every single week about the mobile version. It’s simply bad.

Maybe some issue with rendering on specific hardware…?

Maybe. It feels slower than it’s open source forks which feel a bit slower than chromium alternatives. And the group tabbing is so bad and no process isolation.

I heavily use Firefox for Android on multiple devices since many years. It HAS annoying bugs. The most annoying for me is the tab view keeps forgetting the last tab you were on, when for example closing a tab from tab view or moving between tabs by swiping the address bar.

I think every person’s bugs depends on how they use the software.

edit: quick word order fix.

I’m experiencing a similar issue on my phone and I’m using ublock, it is draining the battery very fast and making the phone hot.

I wonder if there is a good alternative/degoogled chrome for Android?
