I tried using Firefox on Android for a while but had to switch back to Chrome mainly because Firefox reloads the page if you put it in the background even for a few seconds. This caused real issues when I had to approve a payment on a banking app I'm using - after aproval going back to Firefox the page got refreshed and I had to do it again. Chrome somehow manages to keep the page loaded even with tens of open tabs.
Another thing missing in the Android version is the Print function. Such a basic feature!
I've been using it on the desktop too and there it works ok, no major issues - just the print dialog was much poorer then Chrome's and I had to print from Chrome.
Firefox has a many people rooting for it but not enough people contributing.
Brave strangely decided to go with Chromium rather than Firefox as a base even though Brendan knew Firefox much better. And many other browsers have decided the same Vivaldi, Edge, etc. At this stage I'm afraid Firefox has too many unpolished edges, especially on mobile to match the competition.
- rg111 4y agoI use Firefox in android even though it has too many rough edges. But I primarily use Bromite and Brave. I have disabled Chrome altogether. Bromite has some rough edges, but Brave is ready to be used as a primary browser. DDG android is nice, too. > had to switch back to Chrome Give Brave a try?
