  Which is odd considering it’s been a “first class citizen” on iPadOS by supporting features: lowyat.net/…/the-new-firefox-for-ipad-now-support…

  Vivaldi is great though, I hope you’ve enjoyed it thus far!

    iOS/iPad OS is relatively much easier to develop and it’s a completely different branch from Android as it’s a skin on top of Safari Web View. All other platform use their own Quantum/Gecko Engine.

      Right, however, a basic tablet UI which Firefox previously had and many browsers have shouldn’t be hard for Mozilla to implement on Android.

      Android has scaling so a tablet UI should look normal on most devices.
