Firefox has so many issues. I do hear people say that if you use the nightly build it gets better, but e.g. the app store version on a mobile has a lot of stuff turned off.

I still use it, both on mobile and desktop, but its main appeal for me right now is that it is "not Chrome". The 5% breakage of Firefox is nowhere close to the 50% enshittification of Chrome:-(.

Considering that the chrome app does not even have a way to install extensions, this is still a massive win for Firefox.

Mozilla has also started to make more and more extensions compatible with the mobile app recently, see https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/11/01/is-your-extension-ready-for-firefox-for-android/

It does keep getting better and better (while Chrome gets shittier and shittier).

In the olden days they had 100% support for extentions

The Mozilla circlejerk is strong (and pathetic) on the Fediverse.

It is like "even a stopped watch is correct twice a day - but that does not mean that you should trust the time that you see". It is possible, in more ways than one, to be both right yet also very wrong at the same time. :-P
