    You can’t access about:config in the release version of mobile Firefox. Only in the beta or nightly builds. The beta version is reasonably stable to be fair although it can fluctuate.

      This is true, but I encourage people to check out either mull browser or fennec. Both forks of Firefox on Android with privacy enhancements, the ability to use any Firefox store addon (this may be in release now I am not 100% sure) and access to about:config. I’ve not found stability issues with them either

      I’ve been using fennec as my main browser for a long while now and it’s great

        Yeah, thats great.

        but I’d prefer Mozilla stop being blazingly stupid and stop fucking over people who don’t throw 2000 dollars at mobile devices that come with terrabytes of storage internally.

        does Fennec sync with Firefox on desktop like the official app does?

          Yes, it does. It allows you to log into your Firefox account. Ive been doing it and it syncs just like the official app

          Not that I know of unfortunately. It’s been a while since I’ve been on iOS so I may be wrong, but I believe all browsers in iOS are actually webkit under the hood (what safari runs on). So any fork of Firefox for iOS would also be just that, quite different from desktop or Android Firefox. I did hear the due to some rule changes Mozilla may be working on a non webkit version of Firefox for iOS but that remains to be seen

      Yeah it sucks Mozilla keeps removing functionality. But I switched to Nightly and it’s using much less disk space
