    There are some really annoying long standing open bugs in the Android version that I wish they’d work on

      The main one I’m aware of is periodic crashing, but that could be my phone being a potato.

      Which bugs bother you the most? If you have links, I could go upvote them to hopefully get some more attention.

        I’ve got a weird intermittent issue that sometimes when I change tabs by swiping the address bar, the tab I swipe to will end up being an identical looking page to the tab that I just swiped from. Refreshing the page doesn’t fix the issue despite the URL being that of a different page, so to resolve I have to copy the URL, close the bugged tab, and the open a new one to the copied URL.

          This also happens to me a lot with tabs that have video when using the mini player and then trying to come back to the page. For me it also works to close the bugged tab and then use the “undo” right away to restore it

          I think I’ve had that too, but it was resolved by going to the tab switcher and swapping between tabs that way.

          And there’s an intermittent one where a tag gets stuck and I need to close and reopen the tab to navigate to a new page.

          I wonder if you got hit with both at the same time…

        I’ll try to dig them up and share back here but the annoying ones are:

        • Randomly get stuck half way between light and dark mode
        • Randomly will refuse to load a page, switching tabs shows the same page that is stuck. Only force closing fixes.

          I think I’ve had the second, but it’s fairly rare.

          I’m going to review this post later and see if I can summarize problems and link them to Bugzilla bugs. Hopefully some high quality bug reports can get it fixed sooner.

        The most annoying thing for me is that Firefox is reloading the current tab if I switch apps and then back to Firefox. Why is this not saved somehow and needs to reload the whole page?

          That sounds like an issue with your Android ROM, it might be killing apps as soon as you switch to another one. I don’t have this issue.

        Interesting. I’ve never had it crash, be it on my Motorola or my Samsung. I don’t think they’re potatoes as they’re terrible for fries, so maybe that’s it.

          Ah, maybe it was the peanut oil that caused the crashes. :)

          It has gotten better, but I still get a crash almost once/week. Then again, I keep 5-6 tabs on it almost always and it’s my default browser for everything, so I’m pushing it kind of hard.

      I get this really annoying one with private tabs that have been open a while that freeze and nothing can be done except closing the tab. Great browser otherwise.
