Why would anyone not using an Android use Chrome? If you're tech savvy enough to be installing alternate browsers, why choose the one whose parent company actively harvests everyone's data (and which is more bloated than Edge, FF, and Safari)?
Firefox on Android works great too. I'm slowly degoogling my life, and this was by far the easiest step.
How do you get Firefox to work on Android? I have nothing but issues on my pixel 7 pro. It's the only browser that constantly crashes, randomly takes forever to load pages, doesn't go to full screen mode without force quiting the app every time, and doesn't always sync with PC browser.
I have a Pixel 7. I have none of those issues you mentioned. FF works wonderfully for me.
Sounds like a bad extension or something my gu Pixel 6 Pro, 7A, 8 Pro, and 4 all running FF in my family no issues
My 6 and 8 pros even have multiple extensions running smoothly
Weird. You don't have any potentially problematic extensions installed?
You could also try Firefox Nightly, though I suspect it may not be better for you if the regular one is broken.
Running FF on Pixel 7. Have only uBlock Origin, no other addons. Runs great, never any problems. Syncs with my desktop.
Maybe your install is bugged. Try clearing the cache and a app restart if that doesn't fix the issue. Uninstall and reinstall firefox (backup your data 1st before).
Firefox has and is buggy on android. You may need to occasionally restart it once a while. It will continue to be improved. But, that may take time. Like the increased extensions which took years after the rewrite.
