I use FF on ALL my devices ALL the time. I have absolutely no issues with it except for the once-a-year crash that forgets the tabs I had opened. If I lose a few tabs that I can't remember, maybe they weren't worth having open? I agree that the mobile version kinda sucks, but since my wife does all the driving, I have hours to kill ha. Maybe it's my $250 android phone that's at fault? I and my wife and as many people I can convince use Thunderbird; everyone can (should) agree that Outlook new/old is a steaming mess. I donate a couple of bucks every month to Mozilla for all this. nbd. I delete, disable, ignore as much of the google ecosystem as is possible. I'm in the process of converting several Win machines to Linux as fast as I can. Work is all Windows and a few Macs; all of our infrastructure is Linux-based and has been running fine without incident for almost 20 years. And yes I have FF installed everywhere whether people use it or not because as the IT Guy, when I log onto a machine, I want to have FF there to use. Edge is a virus, etc. Call me old fashioned. Oh, wait, I have seven Amigas, and I was arguing with my boss's boss last week about the value of controlling one's own data and not relying on cloud services. lol get off my effing lawn

I do *none* of those things. I do make lengthy calls to a friend in VT a few times a week, but I basically have no "apps" (after removing almost everything that came with my phone I installed a couple of things I thought I might use, but never have), and only use FF (with ublock origin and privacy badger) for reading shite while I'm waiting for something (sometimes), or while my wife drives us somewhere. I find, generally when asked by my wife to do something on her phone, phone UI/UX to be absolutely horrible and annoying. But at least I see no ads. I recently walked into an airport waiting area near some gates and saw 200 people with their noses buried in gorilla glass and thought, how effing sad.

Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
