  • I am.sorry to hear this. But I feel your pain. A few years ago I had a phone where some apps just where buggy as hell for some reason. There are so many factors contributing to app stability on Android:

    • Android version
    • Possible customisations from the phone manufacturer (bloatware, battery optimisations etc.)
    • Phone hardware, especially working memory and CPU

    My current phone has 8 GB working memory and like 40 GB free memory available. It also runs a approx. five year old LineageOS installation, upgraded each year as stated on their website. Currently its LineageOS 22.2 (android 15).

    All of this may or may not have great impact on how well FF Android runs.


  • Maybe give Iceraven a try. Its a FF Android fork and works with lots of add ons that regular FF android does not offer for some reason.

    Edit:

    To be clear, Iceraven does not magically make all add ons usable. But more than regular FF android anyway. From their Readme:

    Our goal is to be a close fork of the new Firefox for Android that seeks to provide users with more options, more opportunities to customize (including a broad extension library), and more information about the pages they visit and how their browsers are interacting with those pages.

    Notable features include:

    • about:config support
    • The ability to attempt to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla’s Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries this AMO collection Most of them will not work, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in android-components, but you may attempt to install them. If you don’t see an add-on you want, you can request it.
