Firefox for Android does not support Material UI, has a low minimum API level, and generally seems lacking in features. Why is that?

Edit 1: also the downloading function is super unstable, I lost several files due to firefox starting the download then stopping and removing the download for no reason.

    Firefox for Android might not be that great in terms of performance, but is a viable option out of the Chrome eco system. Firefox Sync works. The only thing its lacking at the moment is universal support for all existing Firefox plugins.

      That kind of changed recently, hasn’t it? There’s been an explosion of available plugins as if late.

      Forks like Mull and Fennec technically have access to all avaliable plugins, but it a bit annoying to set up. I don’t know why they don’t add an option to enable adding all plugins, with a disclaimer that some of them might not function as intended on Android.

      All of the plugins I’ve tried in Fennec have worked just fine.

      It particularly sucks for desktop use on phones that support it, no right click, no keyboard short cuts, and it clips a bit off the bottom of pages, and they’ve apparently said they have no plans to support desktop on Android.
