Does not support any addons, and is therefore useless until it does. (uBlock Origin is a prerequisite for me.)
Haven't used android in a couple of years but firefox used to support addons (and it looks like it still does).

#12I can't find any info about Sync (especially with my own back-end) which is one of the main reasons I'm using Firefox everywhere.
Firefox sync is amazing and one of the reasons I never got hooked on chrome (I tried using it for a full year). I often do research on iOS for coding related topics. Send tab to device - boom, it’s there when I need it and I’ve got my text editor open.

#13I've been using it and it has been actually pretty good. It already has Firefox Sync and ability to send tabs to different devices. Only thing I miss is the ability to open tabs in background. This was my favorite feature in the previous Firefox for Android.

#14My ideal for mobile: Firefox + uBlock Origin + Containers
Now: Firefox + uBlock Origin (no Containers)
Upcoming: Firefox (no uBlock Origin, no Containers)
Seems like we're moving backwards, no?

#15Main thing I don't like about Firefox for Android is the lack of support for containers. I want to use sites like Facebook within a container.

#16I love addons for firefox mobile so I'm not sure if I can give that up just yet :/

I love containers, but the lack of ability to sync them really annoys me. Every time I get a new computer (or re-install, or setup a VPN to test with, etc) I have to manually create all my rules to always open my bank stuff in a special container, and always open my work sites in their container, etc. It seems like these rules should just sync.

#18Add extensions support and disable telemetry/remote-control by default (pushing updates where you control the code is remote control, don't even try to argue against that one).

Totally agree. I've also had it just completely forget all my "always open in container" settings in the past. But that hasn't occurred recently, so hopefully those days are over.

Me too - there doesn't even seem to be a way to generate a file that you could open on another computer? Having them sync via Firefox would be really good - even more so on mobile.
