Yeah I'm completely over to firefox now. I can't help but notice firefox mobile is still a bit sluggish though but eh
Really, Firefox on Android feels much better then Chrome for me. But maybe thats because of ublock.
Try Fennec
I just switched to Fennec from Firefox Nightly when I found out it also supports custom add-on collections. Works great!
With Fennec you don't need custom collections, you can just install the official add-ons right away.
I'm talking about third party extensions that the Mozilla store doesn't let you install directly, at least the only way I've figured out how to add them is with the custom collections
I never had a single add-on Fennec wouldn't allow me to install. Mind linking to one? Would like to see what's causing the problem.

Note: I have this working via my addon collection
Honestly the only issue I have with mobile firefox is how it refreshes when you app switch but I think that's more of an android thing :(
Yeah on mobile it hasn't been the best experience comparatively so far on its own, but the extensions have made the difference for me. They're planning to open up mobile to a lot more (all?) of the extensions soon and I feel like it's gonna get a lot nicer to use after that. Could technically already use them all via beta or nightly using collections or something, but I prefer to use the release version.
