Absolutely, I use FF on my android phone, I just don’t expect normies to install separate browsers on their phones. That’s why it’s so perplexing to me that someone who knows enough to call it something other than “the internet… app” like my dad did this past week, would go and install the worse option if it wasn’t the default.
Funny that you say that. I always get the low end phones so I don’t expect much performance-wise. I didn’t even know it was possible for me to have a reasonable mobile web browsing experience because Chrome was always so awfully laggy while also making everything else lag and I didn’t expect Firefox to be any different. Then I actually tried it, and holy shit the internet actually works. Not only that, I can’t even tell that I’m browsing on a shitty low end phone.
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.
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.
Firefox on Android works great too. I’m slowly degoogling my life, and this was by far the easiest step.
Same. The tab sync from desktop to mobile is also really cool.
There’s also Firefox Focus, which is like being in incognito mode all the time.

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.
