I actually uninstalled Firefox a few months ago on my mobile devices because certain websites for my work were not displaying well now thankfully they have been fixed. Installed the Iceraven fork which is amazing.

I wish Firefox had native tab grouping. That's the only thing I miss from chrome.

Only thing that sucks is needing an account to sync your stuff around. Brave does this through a "sync chain" using a QR code/some big passcode, all without an email account. Not to mention the built-in adblocker, so less extensions are needed.

If Firefox had this, I'd come back.

On my phone Firefox is terrible. It closes the app when I try to watch video full screen. When I reopen Firefox after the video crash all but 1/4 of the screen is black, and it doesn't respond to clicks on the tabs button to close or open new tabs.

So if it's a YouTube video, I try to view it in the YouTube app. Firefox will open YouTube to the home page but leaves me to find the video again within the YouTube app.

Click the navigate with GPS button inside the browser, and it opens Google maps to the last destination instead of the address you were looking at in Firefox. That made me late to 2 appointments before I figured out what was happening.

The auto fill is terrible or non-existent. The password management feature got stuck in a loop the other day and I had to force close.

Fuck Firefox. Maybe it's better on a new phone, but my experience with Firefox has been absolutely dog shit.

I did it on my phone and work PC. I'm still running Brave on this little linux laptop by my TV. Not sure if I have to change that.

I use Firefox as a Main Browser and Thorium(Chromium) as Second for PWM feature.

Firefox webdev tools are worthless. My heart belongs to Vivaldi. Nothing else comes closer.
