The final push to start using Firefox over Chrome on Android might finally be thanks to the enormous selection of add-ons (Firefox's version of extensions) coming out next month. Chrome doesn't offer native support for extensions in its mobile app. Also, better security.

The only thing I miss is immersive mode, aka hidden status bar on scroll. Otherwise it’s perfect.

I would use Firefox on Android but I'm waiting until the security is on par with Chromium such as having internal sandboxing and site isolation.

Also since Firefox doesn't have a WebView implementation, it has to be used with the Chromium based one so it doesn't make sense for me to use two browser engines.

I just hope they can fix the app. Compared to Chrome it really isn't as good.

Just think, all those extensions where already here once. They just kicked it. I will never comprehend why.
