I have been trying to switch to Firefox since long but have never been able to completely switch. There have always been some problems that send me away.
On my phone (Android), Firefox is quite good except a few UX issues (that I don't mind too much) but the sync with my desktop has NEVER worked.
On the desktop, FF has always been slow - in booting, loading pages. The same with Edge and Chrome just work.
If I could get it to sync, and if the desktop version worked, I would never go back to Chromium.
- shaan7 5y agoI can imagine how frustrating it would feel as a Firefox dev reading reports like this and wondering wth is going wrong. Because I'm "just a user" and I've never seen FF being slow to start or loading pages. Same with sync, I recently install Firefox on a new laptop. Clicked the sync button, logged in with my account and done. In 2-3 minutes all history and addons sync'd \o/ UX wise I really love that Firefox Android has the address bar on the bottom :D Except some Google stuff like the GCP console. EDIT: formatting
- prashantsengar 5y agoI can feel that too. But I have tried to sync so many times, tried reinstalling, used a different account but it never worked.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoSame. I use it hours a day. I don't get it. There is something broken or misconfigured on these users machines, at least from FF's position. I use it on Linux, windows, mac, and mobile with no issues except when I've enabled so much adblock stuff that I have to start backing it off for that website :) (only if I really, really, really need the site)
