    While this is abhorrent, I have to say in general Firefox is just painfully slow on mobile compared to other browsers. Don’t know what it’s doing but I stopped using it because it’s noticeably slow.

      90% of the time I go to search something in Firefox it just straight up refuses to load anything and I have to close the tab and start another…

              Pixel 2 XL, also no issues or even any noticeable deltas between Chromium based browsers and Firefox.

                I’m using Fold 5 and can tell a difference in scrolling performance between Samsung Internet and Firefox. There are also some issues regarding how the UI handles transition between folded to unfolded and vice versa.

                This is a known issue
