Bewarned that the mobile Firefox app is really not great.

• I am a chronic tab-user (I have more than a hundred open right now. Yes I’m using pretty much all of them.) and 70% of the time when hitting the tab button it doesn’t actually scroll to the most recent tab. I have to tap it repeatedly to get to where I was.
• The tab list is horribly wasteful when it comes to space and I see no way to change it.
• Some sites also shit the bed completely when auto-filling from my password manager. Like full on freeze the browser or crash it entirely.
• When an app opens Firefox in an embedded browser to get you to log in, it will pretty much never direct you back to the app after putting your information in. You have to tap the three dots and open it in the actual app for even a chance that it will properly redirect you.
• For 2fa sometimes this doesn’t even work. I have to scan my 2fa key then quickly open it in the actual app through the menu before it finishes loading, otherwise it doesn’t redirect or gets stuck in a login loop. Fun.

The browser is fine overall, don’t get me wrong, there’s just some inconveniences that aren’t getting fixed.
