For months now, Firefox and Fedilab (the two apps I use the most) have been frequently crashing on my Android phone. Multiple times per day. (I just had to force quit FF)

I am so siiiiiick of this!!!!! 🤬

I don't know if it's a system issue. My phone is a mid-range Moto G5 Plus from 2017 with Android 8.1. 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage should be enough, right?

It's one of the reasons I want to ditch this snitch phone for a #Pinephone. (I know I'll get into a whole new set of issues.)

And now, Fedilab just ate a toot that took me 10 minutes to type. I pressed "Reply" and it disappeared. 🙄

@normandc Firefox on Android is just so, so messy, regardless of the specs on the phone! I don't think Android is to blame though, Mozilla is spread too thin with multiple projects instead of focusing on Firefox itself.

@normandc If you want a good firefox experience, you can get the latest icecat mobile app and install on your phone. Its a good fork of firefox that has good privacy meaures. If you harden it then you will have less data collectionehile surfing he web

I checked IceCatMobile on F-droid. It hasn't been updated in a year...

@normandc Yeah about that the new firefox ain't that great. In fact, I'd argue its worse than before. They have removed functions solo icecat didn't update because of it

But no security update in almost a year (last April) shouldn't be a huge concern? 😕

@normandc Well Id like firefox because they removed about:config which was a huge gamechanger. I wanted to set some privacy settings but that took me off

Thanks. It's based on Chromium... I'll think about it.

Getting my Pinephone at the end of the month might make this issue moot. 😉
