>On Android it is even worse, no one is testing with Firefox Mobile (Fennec) - this is WinXP-IE6 all over again.

I'm always surprised why this is the case. Firefox Mobile + UBlock Origin works really well and is only very slightly slower than Chrome, while also blocking ads

Firefox Mobile works because it has a huge set of fixes they use for exactly that – changing UA on some sites, patching the code of other sites, implementing all the -webkit-* things, etc.

It’s not that sites support Firefox, it’s that Firefox tries to implement 1:1 what Chrome does. At far less than a tenth of the budget.

Chrome is more convenient in that it syncs everything once you sign in and Firefox sync system just doesn't feel as refined.

Probably doesn't help that google plaster "get google chrome" over all of their services.

The latest ads are interesting in their "Official browser from Google" angle.

What is Firefox's sync lacking?

For me it just never works. It never did during the last 3 years I tried it. The tab just don't sync, and I don't have the time or will to play the debug game.
