Extensions are nice to have, but pointless as long as FF for Android doesn't render most pages correctly (HN, for example).
I've been daily driving FF Android for a few years now and I've had the opposite experience: the vast majority of pages work and render fine (including HN) and it's an extremely rare occasion that I switch to Chrome to use a website. Even then, I often find that Chrome isn't any better and the underlying issue was the website's mobile handling in general (e.g. touch events working differently than mouse events, or just a completely broken mobile-only component swaps)
You seen this pattern again and again in Firefox news threads.
You mean "we reluctantly unbroke what we previously deliberatly broke".
What are you going on about?
HN is a basic site, Lynx on MS DOS could render it.
