Performance on Fenix is possibly even worse than Fennec for me. Every time I switch to a different app and back to Firefox it has cleared the page out of memory and needs to reload it (and my phone has 4 GB of RAM). Fun times if you need to copy a 2FA code and then go back to the browser. Then there's the other weird issues. The bottom 5% of the page or so usually doesn't really render correctly (especially if it's a pop-up like a cookie consent box), but scrolling up and down a bit fixes it, usually, if you're fast enough to press whatever button you wanted to press there before it glitches out again. I care about the open web, and ad blocking is still a killer feature to me, but if I were an average user there is no way I would accept a browser with so many major issues.

The need to reload thing is probably not Firefox's problem. I was annoyed by that too on android. But then I disabled battery optimizations for the android app. It's kinda a hassle because I have to disable it in 2 or 3 places. The 'don't kill my app' website helps [1]. Now it's working fine. I could keep many 10s of tabs open even for a day without reload. I think that bottom 5% issue is fixed now, not sure. One annoying problem is that sometimes it jumps around the page when collapsing comments in sites like HN. Another problem is occasional random crashes when private browsing. Only on android. Anyone else here have the same problem? 99% of times, I send crash report. Hope they fix it. Or maybe it's a problem with my phone? Love Firefox though.
