To me, browsing the web is equally important on Desktop and on Mobile.

I have a really powerful desktop PC and I use Firefox for Windows with uBlock Origin. The speed difference between a Chromium based browser and Firefox on my desktop is negligible.

On the other hand, using Firefox on Android is atrocious, laggy, sluggish, slow as hell. I used Bromite (the lightest and most privacy focused chromium browser on Android) and I don't wanna go back. Sure, I'll lose the pristine cosmetic filtering and blocking capabilities of uBlock origin but the websites will load twice/thrice as fast and the app feels fast.

Now, if I change browser on mobile I will have to change it on Desktop too, cause of features like Bookmark syncing, sending pages to mobile and viceversa ecc...

I need a solution. I like firefox, what they are doing as a non profit organization, the battle against Chromium, the fact that adblocking works better ecc... but I don't want to compromise on mobile performance.

What should I do? Switch to something like Brave or is there any solution? Thanks.

Everytime I go to Michael's. Com or Hobby Lobby .com my scrolling starts to stick I like click on ornaments let's sat. It will scroll the first few then it's Jerry and no matter how many times I try to scroll down it keeps popping back to where it got stuck at. I am using Firefox build is 95.2.0 (Build #2015851755) Here's a link to where it started https://www.michaels.com/paint-and-painting-supplies/paint-brushes/845161197?page=3 I hope I've given enough info.

I have a php / javascript based web-application that is running since years very well.

On some pages I am using geolocation, mainly on Android-smartphones.

Since some weeks only in Firefox (Standard, Beta and Nightly) the geolocation is very slow or I get a timeout. The timeout-option is set to 60 sec.

The application has no problems on Chrome, Opera, DuckDuckGo or the MI-Browser from Xiaomi, so I am sure that will be a bug in Firefox 107.2.0 for Android and not in my Application.


Additional Informations:

My location: Darmstadt / Germany.

The issue is tested on 2 android smartphones and a PC.

The geolocation on the pc is normal fast, less than 5 seconds.

Whenever I tap a button on any website that is supposed to start uploading process nothing happens. I don't get to see a file browser with which I am supposed to pick a file or anything else, only a slight website UI animation of the button responding to my tap if the website/button has one.

This has been the case from the moment I installed Firefox. It is the same in both regular and private browsing. I have looked at Firefox and Android app permission settings and haven't found anything and allowed everything relevant for Firefox to use (access to files, internet). I have no problem downloading files. I am using MIUI 13 Global.

This I think might be a 1 website issue but I checked other browsers and it doesn't happen on them.

The issue is that on the AmericanMuscle website the menu at the top of the page disappears with barely any time to click on it...

I would post the com but I didn't read if that was a TOS violation here...

Bug Report: Home screen wallpaper dialogue forces inverted screen rotation

To whom it may concern, I have a new Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet that I installed Firefox Nightly for Developers on via the Aurora Store as Google Play services are not bundled with this device. I installed my usual add-ons of uBlock Origin, Dark Reader, and Bitwarden from the Add-ons page in the top right menu. Upon returning back to the new-tab page my screen inverted 180 degrees as I received a dialog prompting me to select a background. I was holding the device in what I believe to be upside down portrait mode, with the ports and buttons of the device facing downward and the wallpaper picker forced the screen into default orientation.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this.
