Haven't tried it on iOS yet, but it worked great on my Android.
- on_and_off 9y agoand this is where Chrome has a good hook on me. In order to switch, both FF desktop and mobile need to be better than Chrome. Does FF support a version of Chrome tabs too ? Damn, they have built themselves a good moat just with features I will miss.
- inanutshellus 9y agoI don't know about iOS but the Firefox Android app is great and works with Firefox Sync, of course.
- allenz 9y agoI prefer FF over Chrome on mobile. FF mobile allows extensions such as uBlock Origin and Google Link Fixer which I find essential. FF supports sending tabs to other devices, if that's what you mean by Chrome tabs.
- jazoom 9y agoFirefox on Android has awful scrolling physics. I will never be able to use it while the scrolling is different to every other app on my phone.
- mozoldie 9y agoLast I checked they were using the native Android scrolling physics. I could be mistaken though.
- jazoom 9y agoIf so then I don't know why it has felt so different to every other app on all 3 of my Nexus devices (currently the 6P).
- allenz 9y agoI guess it depends on the phone. Scrolling is smooth on my HTC One.
- jazoom 9y agoIt's definitely smooth. Too smooth, in fact. It feels like my finger is slipping on the screen. No other app does this.
- mcjiggerlog 9y agoGlad I'm not the only one - I love everything else about the app but, as you said, it scrolls differently to every other app on my phone. So frustrating. Sticking with Chrome for now.
- NikolaeVarius 9y agoFF is insanely slow on mobile. Scrolling in janky and rendering seems to be about 50% slower than Chromium
- Y_Y 9y agoMaybe it's your phone?
- NikolaeVarius 9y agoNexus 6 and yet doesn't make sense that all my non Firefox browsers are perfect
- Spivak 9y agoYes it does. The feature is called Custom Tabs in FF but it's there.
- on_and_off 9y agoWill it sync with another browser though. That's asking a lot (chrome does not do that AFAIK) but that's the only way to allow me to use multiple browsers on different devices fluidly (and also to continue using chrome where it has an edge, like on mobile with chrome tabs)
- NoGravitas 9y agoThe Firefox equivalent of Chrome Custom Tabs on Android is Firefox Focus, IMO. I use Focus for opening links from other apps, but full Firefox (beta) for actual browsing.
