Not too much nowadays, actually. I just want more polish and wish Mozilla was less incompetent. Most popular browsers already had this feature and just now we got it, Firefox tends to be more late on features. But yeah Mozilla, a shitty AI sidebar is exactly what we need.
I wish tabs on mobile wouldn’t just disappear without no way to reopen them if you accidentally closed them.
If a tab is cleared by swipping and hasn’t been recently visited, you better hope that you’ve remembered what it was cause it won’t show up in your recently closed tabs and history settings >:P
For real. I love Firefox but the mobile app is just not good. I have to use Chromium instead of Firefox on my phone because of how choppy and buggy it is 🥲
Oh i personally use Firefox Focus on mobile. One tab, and all history is erased once the tab/app is closed. I can understand if you’re using the normal Firefox app and it isn’t behaving how you would like, and how that can be frustrating.
It looks like firefox has an option to reopen closed tabs on mobile though. Not sure if you can access this or not.

Unfortunately that was what I was referring to in my original comment. I also sent Mozilla a request to fix this as it’s not working as intended but I haven’t received any updates or replies since like 3-6 months ago.
At this point I think Mozilla might be prioritizing AI garbage so I’m fully jumping ship to Librewolf. In the next couple of months to year or so I’m gonna try and figure out how to port Librewolf to Android, or just buy a Linux compatible phone.
For me, Firefox doesn’t feel as smooth as Chromium, in performance and scrolling. There are also some bugs that occur to me occasionally, but it’s not consistent. One bug could occur then I’d never see it again.
A lot of my gripes with Firefox can be fixed with lepton and betterfox, love those two, can’t use Firefox without them :)
For real, Chromium browsers are way better in Android than FF…
The sad thing is that I don’t see when this prospect can change… I see (and install) countless updates for my Firefox Beta app and my experience has remained the same, it is especially subpar with tab management too…
I don’t use mobile browsers much, but one thing I wish FF could do is give me an easy way to move a private tab into a regular one. I have private tabs enabled by default to not pollute my history with garbage but every once in a while you want a link to open regularly and you can only do it my manually open the address bar, selecting the URL, copying it, closing the tab, switching to non private mode, open a new tab, paste the address, confirm. This is excessively long and annoying, even for mobile phones and their terrible multitasking issues.

What isn’t polished?

What version of Android are you using?

Can’t forget uBlock, too.
Ah, i see. I personally haven’t had any bugs or performance issues, but if you are, then I could understand not using it.

You are right, although to be honest I have never used private tabs that way, I assume what you want to achieve is possible in other browsers.
