I don't bother because Mozilla is just controlled opposition at this point, I'll stick to Chromium based ones like Brave for now as I don't consider there to be a meaningful difference.

Also Firefox mobile doesn't seem to have tab groups and is the only browser I've tried which doesn't have a proper Android tablet UI.

Brave mobile and Vivaldi mobile have it built in. Hell, Vivaldi even has its super useful two layer tab bar available on Android.

Firefox mobile's plugin support doesn't make up for it missing other basic usability features.

Similarly, Vivaldi mobile doesn't allow custom search engines, so Brave is the only one with the minimum feature set I need (tab grouping, vertical tab bar or two layer tab bar, ad block, custom search engine, android tablet UI), and since I want to be able to sync between all my devices, I use Brave on everything.

Never tried Brave. I rarely browse on mobile so with FF I'm fine.
