A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I can't answer any of these. I don't have the knowledge. I am not using Firefox on mobile, only on desktop. (opera mobile user)

However what I can say is, you need to make compromises on some of your convenience to free yourself from a user hostile company's software, or forks of it which strongholds you to their whims. Silicon Valley is trying to profit against your best interests.

Well I was planning to switch anyway for the reasons you just explained, so further moral rhetoric is wasted on me. I'm only asking those who do have knowledge in order to help ease the transition.
