Mozilla is ready to get back in the browser ring on mobile with Firefox 120

It’s never been a better time to switch to Firefox::Firefox’s extended add-on support for mobile is coming with version 120, a good reason to switch to the browser permanently.

      I use Firefox exclusively on Desktop and Brave exclusively on mobile. Firefox on Mobile still has performance issues for me.

      I’ve come to much prefer firebox but I have used brave for a long time and people aren’t being fair

      • Shitcoins are optional got disabled on day 1 and never saw em again.

      • Worked as advertised (pun intended), fastest browser at the time and never saw a single ad.

      • Spying? Cant be worse then chrome. It is one of the reasons i am now with with firefox.

      But i am not convinced firefox isnt spying somewhat too. Why can i not selfhost my browser profiles instead of syncing all my details with mozzila servers?

    It’s still not a good experience on Android tablets/foldables, just a stretched phone UI and no tab bar.

      I don’t get the downvotes.

      Sure, many (or probably most) people have no use for a tablet-friendly UI and a tab bar.

      But for those people who do, this is a very important point. I actually switched over to Vivaldi, due to the lack of a tab bar in FF.

      If they’d implement that, I would be able to go back to FF.

      So I don’t really understand why someone would be opposed to a toggle-able feature that you don’t have to use. If you don’t like it, don’t enable it.

        I also switched to Vivaldi everywhere for this reason. So I can sync tabs on all my devices. I wouldn’t have even been looking for a new browser if not for the poor tablet experience on Android FF. But I’m really happy with Vivaldi now. Over the years I occasionally check in on ol’ Android tablet Firefox, but still no tablet UI since they removed it many years ago (yes, older versions of Android Firefox already had a tab bar).

          I tried a full switch to Vivaldi, but desktop Vivaldi was quite buggy for me, so now I’m running split: FF on Desktop, Vivaldi on Android.

    Yay, another step to getting to feature parity with Firefox 68!

    Now give me a tabs that I can also use in phone mode and keyboard shortcuts!

    I mean, it’s only been 3 years since new FF on Android cut all the good bits from FF68 and before.
