> there is really no downside to Firefox

The Dutch national TV (NPO) videos do not play on Firefox for Android [1]. They do play on Chrome for Android and they do play on the Linux desktop firefox. Not sure if its some hidden setting that I need to find or something for the firefox team to look into.

Everybody and their dog want you to download "apps" - I wonder why?

Firefox on android is one of the few defence mechanisms we have.
