    Most internet usage is mobile and people use whatever’s preinstalled on their phone because it just works is my guess.

      I see, yeah that makes sense. Especially because mobile firefox really wasn’t that good as a normal browser anyway.

          No idea why I got downvoted but I’ve been using it on my phone since I switched from iOS to android in 2014.

          And yes I also very welcome that they finally let you install extensions.

      And also Firefox on mobile is kind of a hot mess. Videos regularly are unable to play and dark mode is wonky until you restart the app.

        How do you mean? I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and aside from one website (my bank) everything I’ve tried to do with it has been perfectly fine. It even has adblock and videos play in the background. I’ve also not seen any issues with dark mode; I’m using dark mode right now, actually.

          I have auto dark mode during night time. In the morning, my phone will switch to light mode, but parts of the Firefox UI do not. It will be half in and out of dark mode. Bottom toolbar will be dark, but the top bar (notifications, battery, etc.) will be white text against white background. In the mornings, Youtube videos frequently wont play until I restart the app.

            I totally agree, this has been my experience with FF mobile too. It’s not a killer but it is a bit annoying, especially for those of us who still do use light mode when outdoors on a bright day.

          Firefox on iOS is just Safari with a skin. You’re likely experiencing quirks with Apple’s WebKit engine.

        Never had any issues. Been using it for years. It was slow in the early days, but now its a better experience then Chrome. Might be different on IOS.
