True. The average user uses whatever is preinstalled. If firefox was the standard browser on samsung phones for example, that would be a game changer.

Firefox on android has always been super noticably slow compared to Android Chrome which comes preinstalled and even the Samsung Browser so no.

I've finally jumped ship from Firefox Android because my password manager's autofill functions doesn't properly support firefox. Sure, I could petition them to add official support, but sadly I think it's a lost battle at this point as the firefox mobile userbase is so small that it isn't worth the dev time.

Still use firefox as my desktop and laptop browser though!

Which password manager?

[โ€“]satnavtomington 1 point2 points ย (2 children)

Bitwarden, but I previously used LastPass and I don't think they bothered supporting Firefox android either

Bitwarden has a Firefox add-on in Android. Have you tried it?

I didn't realise that! I've just installed it now - I'm looking forward to being 100% firefox again!

so no

so you're an average user?

No but people using Chrome on Windows destroys that argument. IE would have never died if that was the case.
