Firefox for Android does not support Material UI, has a low minimum API level, and generally seems lacking in features. Why is that?

Edit 1: also the downloading function is super unstable, I lost several files due to firefox starting the download then stopping and removing the download for no reason.

How is performance not great? About 2-3 years ago, they made a huge amount of improvements to Firefox performance, to the point where it's plenty fast. I have it set as my default browser and have actually disabled Chrome so Firefox is used for everything.

Performance is more than sufficient for me, and I've done a mix of playing browser games and regular browsing and haven't had any issues. And this isn't on a flagship phone or anything, it's just a Moto G Power. I don't really notice any performance issues, and it's probably actually faster than Chrome on average because my ad blocker means i have to render far less stuff.

No performance issue on my Firefox too. I have Ublock origin.
