Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don't render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.

Compared to any browsing experience without uBlock, Firefox wins by a very large margin.

The only browser that supports proper extensions such as Ublock origin (which is much more advanced than the built-in adblockers in other browsers).

I disagree about the UX but that is probably just my preference. I use Facebook marketplace sometimes and it seems fully functional, no jumping around or whatever. Every now and then I have to use desktop mode but only on like government sites. Maybe it's because I use an ad blocker that I don't notice the problems you report.
