I do like Firefox on Android but I won't use it for a single reason - the scroll physics doesn't match native app scroll physics.
The scroll acceleration or easing is "off", compared to Chrome on Android and native widget list views. I wouldn't normally complain that Firefox doesn't match Chrome's behaviour in some specific area, but it's incredibly frustrating to be used to scroll behaviour on a platform and have a single app reimplement that in a non-conformant manner. It just feels... icky, and broken.
There have been bugs filed about it but nothing seems to have been done.
This is the one main thing stopping me from using Firefox on Android and recommending it to others. It might seem minor but it affects the very way I interact with the app, and I use the browser on my phone at least 50% of the time I'm looking at the device.
