Great, let's see how it works out.

Firefox for Android has been killing it for me with the latest ux updates, I didn't expect major improvements there and was pleasantly surprised.

I don't see the appeal, it takes more "clicks" to do many actions and I had to disable the ridiculous new oversized "rectangle tab preview block" (whatever it's called).

yes exactly, their design was already better than chrome and condensed but now we have these outdated round and padding heavy toy controls again, just why?

Agreed, was pleasantly surprised and didn't know how much I didn't like the old one until seeing the new one by comparison.

This UI is great but do you get this horrible thing where sometimes the browser is shows a white screen and you have to force stop the app? Happens all the time on the latest version for my Pixel 9a. And did on my Pixel 7 too before. It's really horrible and I can't pin down any rhythm or reason other than loosely seeming to happen more often when I'm in battery saver mode.

I don't have that on fenec and ironfox on my pixel 6a running graphene.

What I have always had with any firefox based browser on android is erratic behavior in text field. Most of the time it works well but sometimes on some commenting systems my input is duplicated/multiplicated/garbled, trying to select where you want to insert words in the middle of the sentence sometimes becomes impossible, always resetting to the beginning of the text field, etc.

On some websites it only rarely happens, on some it is much more regular. Never understod why but when I want to edit a comment I have to resort on a regular basis to copy the full comment to a note app, edit the text, and replace it in its entirety in the text field.

Super annoying but still less annoying than using a chrome based browser with no way to remove ads and have a bit of privacy control.

Happens to me all the time in PWAs. I get it roughly once in two days, sometimes a few times a day.

Are you using some weird extension ? Never had this on my pixel 6.

I actually liked the previous UI much more, the new one looks like a baby toy and uses more space because of the control padding. completely unnecessary.

Which UX improvements in particular?

for me, the killer feature is that I can use uBlock Origin.

This and Violentmonkey which syncs with my desktop Firefox so I have all the same scripts. Wish it would also sync the script data though.

How do you make closing tabs from taking literally seconds.
