Firefox is the measure of how fucked-up software is today 😡
Firefox 154 on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 Build 19044.7663.

It’s the worst f***ing browser on Android. RAM optimization is so bad, it made me question my phone’s ability to run a browser!!!!
Nope. It’s the only browser I’m using on Android!
Add-ons: uBlock Origin, Google Search Fixer, YouTube High Definition.
Mozilla account for synchronization (send tab to device).
Can’t beat that.
I know right!!
I’m stuck with it because of all the features you mentioned. I use “Send All Tabs” to my pc all the time.
But it instantly reloads my tabs when I switch to any other app more often than any other browser.
Idk what to do – don’t like Brave given as a choice either.
Apparently it’s a well known bug.

People are commenting fixes for different skins of Android but dos not seem to face the same issue on Chromium-based browsers.
All true, but in today’s phones that is not an issue. The fact that Firefox for Android is not as secure as the Chromium is the only genuine pitfall.
But if we want a different internet, then programmers or even investors see that there is a demand for an alternative to Chromium-based browsers, this is it! If we all resort to Chromium, no one will even feel motivated to do an alternative, and more and more challenging will be to compete with Chrome.
