    Yes. It used to suck, say, 10 years ago. My baseline was Youtube and Reddit (back then, okay?) Could I watch Youtube videos the same way as with Chrome or Android browser? No? Then, not ready. Did i.reddit.com open fine? No? Not ready.

    Then it happened. And I switched and it has been wonderful ever since.

    The only thing that I miss is the “pull down page to reload” gesture [EDIT: THANK YOU ALL! I’VE ENABLED IT - GREAT!!!]. Not sure why Firefox hasn’t implemented that yet. Patents? And also, when a video is in an iframe, it won’t respect the “block autoplay” feature. The rest is dandy.

      Settings > customize. Pull to refresh is there

      You can enable the refresh gesture in the settings in Firefox

      I don’t really visit reddit anymore, but still end up there sometimes because of a google search. Anyway there is an extension for Firefox Android to always show old Reddit. So you don’t have to log in or install the app.

        Yup. I know all that. But I was talking about back then when Mobile Firefox simply didn’t render reddit correctly. As soon as it did, I switched.
