    Firefox on Android is itself is crippling experience. It is unfortunately still too slow; yet I am using it for the sake of sending tabs feature.

      do you have night reader or any other extensions that the browser would load before the website? Also if you don’t give something like iceraven a shot, it’s on fdroid and has more extension support and other things like about:config available.

      I find it quick enough. Which device do you have? I have P30 Lite with Kirin 710.

      Oh also, I use old Fennec 68, Firefox Quantum Beta, Firefox Klar, Kiwi Browser (only Chromium mobile browser with extensions besides non-FOSS Yandex), Lightning and Opera Mini. Just for reference (and compartmentalised purposes).

          I have run it in a BQ Aquaris U Plus, a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Samsung Galaxy S2 perfectly.

            It already runs perfectly; this is not a bug we are talking about. It is just that Gecko is slower compared to Blink/WebKit.

              Ahhh, but why bother on that if its something that doesn’t affect normal use?

              I don’t understand people who buy something “better” when they don’t need nor use their features.
