While this is abhorrent, I have to say in general Firefox is just painfully slow on mobile compared to other browsers. Don't know what it's doing but I stopped using it because it's noticeably slow.
90% of the time I go to search something in Firefox it just straight up refuses to load anything and I have to close the tab and start another...
Eh? I use it on my phone all the time, and it works just fine.
Which phone do you use?
Pixel 6 here, no issues.
Pixel 2 XL, also no issues or even any noticeable deltas between Chromium based browsers and Firefox.
I'm using Fold 5 and can tell a difference in scrolling performance between Samsung Internet and Firefox. There are also some issues regarding how the UI handles transition between folded to unfolded and vice versa.
This is a known issue

Pixel 6 and Samsung A45 here Firefox is so fast I never had a complain or needed to use chrome or Samsung browser
Doogee s96 pro.
Pixel 7 Pro on GrapheneOS
No issues. Been using Firefox on mobile and especially Linux since ever
Yeah I've gone and deleted the cache and data then did a reinstall. Seems better now
Edit: nope still shit
This used to happen to me all the time but I think it randomly stopped.
