I believe Firefox Focus (on Android and iOS) uses the OS native web view (effectively, Chrome or Safari), but the actual Firefox for Android uses Gecko.



^ This seems right from my quick googling, there is this project for a gecko webview, which needs work: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/GeckoView and mentions firefox focus' gecko build option.

Firefox on android is too slow to use a lot of times. Something mozilla should be able to do better.


Mozilla just don't care about Firefox on Android, the naive observer would be forgiven for thinking they're actively sabotaging it.
