For real... I got downvoted into oblivion for a valid criticism.
And listen, I'm a huge FOSS nerd... I only use linux on my computers. I selfhost a shitload of FOSS services to maintain control and privacy. I run LineageOS on my phones and 90% of my apps are from f-droid. I say all that because obviously I would love to use Firefox mobile instead of another chromium based browser, but it's a turd... it doesn't have a functioning home button for fucks sake, it's been a known issue for over 5 years, and they haven't fixed it.
And why is something so seemingly simple not been fixed? Is it spaghetti code? Is it on purpose to force you to use their start page? I don't know, but I know there is no way around it. There are no extensions that fix it and none of the forks have added the functionality... despite plenty of people wanting it.
