Firefox laggy on Android?

[c***@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 and Ive been noticing Firefox runs very slow on it. This is the first time I've ran firefox in years both at home and on my phone.

I've noticed when I top words in to the address bar at the top and hit the check mark at the bottom right to do a google search nothing happens then I click on the address bar and click the check button in the right corner and finally it starts to query what I am trying to google.

Even here at home on wifi FF acts the same way on FF for my phone....

What could be wrong?

I am a former Chrome user to Firefox on both at HOME and PHONE.

I have made no changes in About:Config, nor am I using any add ons at home or on the phone.


Thanks,
Chris

Firefox gets worse with every version. On Windows 10 Firefox runs
slow, stops responding, and crashes.
The latest version won't even run the most useful add-ons!

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 and Ive been noticing Firefox runs very slow on it. This is the first time I've ran firefox in years both at home and on my phone.

I suggest you repost this in mozilla.support.firefox
Or https://support.mozilla.org

Mention how old the device is and what flavour of Android.
