Great, let's see how it works out.

Firefox for Android has been killing it for me with the latest ux updates, I didn't expect major improvements there and was pleasantly surprised.

I don't see the appeal, it takes more "clicks" to do many actions and I had to disable the ridiculous new oversized "rectangle tab preview block" (whatever it's called).

This UI is great but do you get this horrible thing where sometimes the browser is shows a white screen and you have to force stop the app? Happens all the time on the latest version for my Pixel 9a. And did on my Pixel 7 too before. It's really horrible and I can't pin down any rhythm or reason other than loosely seeming to happen more often when I'm in battery saver mode.

I actually liked the previous UI much more, the new one looks like a baby toy and uses more space because of the control padding. completely unnecessary.

Which UX improvements in particular?

How do you make closing tabs from taking literally seconds.

for me, the killer feature is that I can use uBlock Origin.
