I’ve just been looking for a replacement for Firefox Beta.
What’s wrong with Firefox???
Mostly can’t sign in to lemmy.world for some reason but otherwise I’d some change for a bit.
That’s odd; I could sign in with lemmy.dbzer0.com without issue.
Maybe it’s an issue with the beta? Have you tried regular FireFox?
I’m using Firefox Nightly with zero issues here. Love being able to use any addon I want on my phone.
I’ve signed in a few times to lemmy.world using Firefox over the last week.
Sorry for being the annoying “not for me” guy. ;-)
I don’t believe that’s a Firefox issue, unless it’s a problem specifically with the beta.
Maybe try Jerboa for Lemmy?
Firefox non-beta
IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!
I think it offers alot of great features if you use a samsung phone. However the adblockers are not as good as ublock on firefox!
Therfeore I use both!!
It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.
Dark Mode for websites is a wonderful feature! I have a Note20U so the note access is awesome. The font seems to also render better than Firefox.
However, there are sites I can not stop ads on when using SI. Also no way to filter elements out. These are cases when I usually prefer Firefox.
Even though I’m quite eager to try new softwares, for browser I usually return back to Firefox or brave browser.
Only recently when I tried Vivaldi browser, I don’t feel the urge to return to Firefox/brave.

Brave What else
Seems like you should consider an alternative

I find Kiwi Browser essential. It’s one of the only ones that you can install chrome extensions onto.

I believe that’s an outdated Github link. The project moved here with releases here. The search engine stuff has always seemed like a non-issue to me. I run both Fennec and Kiwi but the latter gives me a true black UI and support for fully side-loaded addons (not just those already on the Firefox website).

Using Kiwi because it supports Twitter control panel and old reddit redirect extensions.

Well. Thanks for the info. Uninstalling
Edit: I added few add-ons to my collection.but I’m unable to add it to my Android. What could be the issue?

Here’s what I did:
- created a new collection and added few addons
- copied the collection id from the URL
- opened Firefox nightly and enabled custom collection menu
- input the collection id
- Firefox quits
- when I open Firefox and click on Add-ons, there were no add-ons and there was an error that “Failed to query Add-ons”
edit: added both collection id and the collection name as it appears on the URL. it is working now. Thank you for your help! :)

I’m getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?

It wasn’t at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don’t read instructions 😉 ) but they all seem to say “…open Firefox…” without being clear WHICH Firefox they’re referring to.
I’ve now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android… Back to Kiwi! “It just works…” 😡
I think brave is pretty alright. Yes the crypto stuff is hella cringe and its chromium based but it works like charm.
