I tried Firefox recently because I want to ditch my Chrome habit and I love Mozilla but it had serious performance issues on all of my macs (fans would spin at max after 5 min, a long standing and known issue I guess) along with some real oddities on my android. Between bad performance and these many recent missteps I ended up ditching it for just another chromium based browser out there. Though my experience is some…
Firefox on mac used to be like that, but recent versions (last year or two) haven't had that issue You're probably being downvoted for negging others' beloved browser
No release for android yet, at least not on [1], where I am getting the apk files from. As of now, latest release uploaded there is 66.0.2 from March. [1]: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/ EDIT it's up: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/66.0.4/
I am not interested in finding out what they'll break next unless I want to participate in their Normandy botnet. Goodbye, Mozilla.
is there something else I need to do?
Probably less important given the type (and number) of users who are on Firefox Nightly, but it's still at "68.0a1 (2019-05-03)" without an update available yet.

> the metrics being optimized for usually aren't in the users' best interests Do you have any source for that? If you truly believe that Firefox is optimizing metrics that aren't in the users' best interest in general, why are you even using said software in the first place?
What other browser can you use if you are interested in some sort of privacy? Is Chrome compiled from source safe from tracking?
Waterfox, Safari. Some others too but they're a pain to use (ungoogled-chromium for example). Chrome itself has a bunch of binary blobs so I would stay away from that.
