When I open the app, I'm brought to the top of my tabs instead of the most recent tab at the bottom or where I left off, so I need to scroll or open a new tab to get back down. Because I have to scroll to the bottom, I keep accidentally closing tabs and undoing the action despite scrolling straight down. Also, the app keeps crashing when I use the search bar. It usually happens at least 5 times in a row despite me closing and reopening the app, which gets frustrating.

I like Firefox, but I might move off of it at some point. The browsers nice, and functional (most of the time) but sometimes it just refuses to work, and you have to restart the app There is no searching feature for extensions, and most popular extensions just aren't available, although two that I usually use are available (ublock and dark reader) Some websites just don't work at all, like spotify and oculus casting page, but they can be fixed by just using the app. Tis good for testing.

I'm a fan of the browser but have noticed some shady stuff after updating like having studies turned back on and finding the 'cookies' option unchecked from browser data you want cleared on exit. I now avoid updating automatically until I have time to go through and verify the settings each time. Not sure if this is malicious or just an accident.

Looks good, works well. However, it doesn't work with Firefox Focus' "Open with" feature (it asks me to install Firefox), and the tab list view can get disconcerting while trying to switch tabs. Probably because while the tab bar is at the bottom, the actual tabs are not. The fact that collections take up the same prominence as tabs also adds to the nonintuitiveness of that view

it works pretty well. the added security/less tracking than other browsers is a huge plus. the only problem with the browser is how swiping up from the bottom of the screen is how you set bookmarks, share pages, access settings/report site issues etc. galaxy phones have their home button/back button swipe up from the bottom of the screen the same way. because of this, the bookmarks button and the "report site issue" button get hit accidentally countless times. it's super frustrating.

My preferred browser because of Add-On support, even though a workaround with "Collections" is needed to install most of them. I've got uBlock Origin, ViolentMonkey for userscripts, Privacy Badger, and more, and I can finally browse the web on my phone with most of the same power & flexibility I have on my desktop. It is a bit 'rough around the edges' compared to Chrome. Some sites behave differently, and I've run into a few that are just broken in FF. Overall, though, I'm happy.
