The rewrite was pretty bad yes but it's good again now. I never use chrome anymore on my Android devices.

Only things that still bother me on FF is not having access to all extensions and not having pull to refresh.

"Pull to refresh" has been in Firefox for Android for years. See Settings > Customise > Gestures.

About not having the full extension catalog available out of the box: it's pitiful, but if you're determined to install non pre-allowed extensions, you can do so using Nightly and with a custom add-on collection. See https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio....

Huh, I don't have Pull to Refresh under Settings > Customise > Gestures. I wish I did.

I only have "Scroll to hide toolbar" and "Swipe toolbar sideways to switch tabs"

This is in Firefox 108.1.0 which is the latest.

I know you can mess with Nightly to allow other addons but I don't really like using nightly to be honest. This feature should really be in the mainline too.
