    • open tabs can take 20+s to load a cached version, when a full refresh takes 1-2s
    • when you open FF, you spin a wheel for what screen will be shown
    • limited extension selection
    • pages are randomly zoomed in
    • closed tabs reopen after you relaunch FF (I’ve had situations where I’d close the same exact tab 20+ times)
    • tab sync is janky as hell (doesn’t show all open tabs, sometimes you need to send the same tab 5 times before you get notifications for all of them at the same time)
    • it sometimes saves your position on the pages, but sometimes not

    That’s what I can think off the top of my head.

      Not sure if it’s helpful, but you know there’s an option for that right? Settings -> Homepage

      Other than that, a few of your issues sound like memory issues, so hopefully they can slim the browser down a bit to improve things for you. But your last item reminded me of this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1872511

        Thanks, but I’m pretty sure it’s bugged. I’ve had FF open, receive a call, go back to FF, see the homepage instead of the last tab.

        Other than that, a few of your issues sound like memory issues, so hopefully they can slim the browser down a bit to improve things for you.

        I really need to get a new phone, 2gb of RAM is not enough, but I’m having a really hard time finding a pixel in my country.

        But your last item reminded me of this bug

        I think that’s for tab selection. I forgot to list that as well, I’ve got 100+ tabs open and it occasionally jumps to showing the first instead of the last one.

        What I meant is: you read an article, and when you’re halfway through you close FF. When you open it, it might continue from where you left off, or it might show you the top of the page.
