That's all fine and good but Firefox on Android is currently in a sorry state. No per-site process isolation, buggy, can't keep tabs open, slow, choppy, drains battery. Had to uninstall it on my brand new Galaxy S24+ and my Pixel 6 Pro because it was draining so much battery. When are you going to finally stop ignoring Firefox Android, Mozilla?

Sounds like you don't have an adblocker.

I ran Firefox Android with uBo and AdGuardDNS.

Nope. He's right. There are similar threads on reddit too every single week about the mobile version. It's simply bad.

Maybe some issue with rendering on specific hardware...?

Maybe. It feels slower than it's open source forks which feel a bit slower than chromium alternatives. And the group tabbing is so bad and no process isolation.

I've been using it for at least a decade now and haven't encountered any of the issues you mention.
