Runs absolutely fine in situations where battery isn't a concern (iMac)

• Klonoar 6y ago
  It doesn't, as I noted in another comment - "absolutely fine" overlooks notable issues with the macOS system experiences. Furthermore, while this is a point to be debated... the thread here is not about Firefox on macOS, but on whether it'd run fine on iOS. Given the performance of Firefox on Macbooks in general, I maintain my position that it would not fare well. The iMac has little to do with this. Given that they'll eventually need to have this running well on Apple Silicon, though, I'd be happy to eventually be wrong.

    I don't think it's irrelevant to speak to the fact that the latest Firefox runs well on my 2013 iMac. Anecdotal, sure, but I'm tired of seeing the generic "Firefox is bad on macOS" complaints because I just don't think it's true across-the-board anymore. 10-15 versions ago? That was a different story. It has come a long way. I abandoned Firefox back in those days, but lately I returned to it as my browser of choice on macOS, Windows, and Linux. However, in terms of iOS, I am not certain how either of our experiences (both on macOS) would really be relevant at all to how Firefox would perform on iOS. As much as Apple has tried to make them similar lately, they are still different worlds.
