Mozilla needs a cheaper CEO who knows the fuck they’re doing. The current leadership has verifiably demonstrated that they don’t. I’m using Firefox and not switching anytime soon, but the Mozilla situation is making me angry and sad at the same time.

I'm in this boat. Interacting with the UI on Firefox for iOS incurs several seconds of waiting: Clicking the tab icon, opening a new tab, clicking back. ANYTHING, really. Often it just dies. If I close all tabs, it gets better. So I basically have to choose between tabs or any acceptable UI speed. They literally went from "browser is slow with many tabs" to "now tabs are super lightweight" to "this is a shitshow". I'm not sure how they can be so deliberate and so accidental at the same time. I wish the board would fire those incompetent leaders and regain market value, but I'm afraid it's a collusion where everyone in power is just ripping Mozilla for what it's got before the ship sinks. Sure feels that way.

  What device are you using? On my iPhone 14 and last-gen iPad, I don't notice any of that with Firefox.

  On iOS Mozilla might not be actually 100% at fault if their app does not work correctly. This is because an inside apple policy dictates that all apps on iOS must use the Safari web engine and can't ship their own. As a result all browsers on iOS are just glorified Safari skins & Web application support continues to lag as a result among other things & Apple has complete control over what that one true web engine of iOS supports and what not.

    It could be that making a good browser on iOS is difficult because of Apple's restrictions. And I haven't run a lot of mobile browsers recently for comparison. But I find it hard to believe that most browsers that are more popular than Firefox on mobile are doing worse at basic memory management when the number of tabs grow.

They're more concerned with wrongthink, hard to take them seriously anymore. Meanwhile, Brave is awesome.
