RSS is still pretty great
NetNewsWire is excellent. Clean, responsive, blends into the desktop, and doesn't have memory leak issues like so many macOS RSS readers do. I wish all software could be like it.

Show HN: Twine – Gorgeous open source multiplatform RSS app
And like with most multiplatform apps, it doesn't look native at all on iOS. I prefer my current combination of: https://netnewswire.com + https://miniflux.app
Both open source too.

Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee
+1 for NetNewsWire. No pushes for engagement, no upsells for premium features, just a simple and rock solid app that does exactly what you want and does it well. I would 100% pay for it as it’s a very high quality app, but the developers would prefer happy users to focus elsewhere.

NetNewsWire: Free and Open Source RSS Reader for Mac and iOS
If you are using Miniflux for your RSS syncing you can already use it in NetNewsWire too now that Miniflux supports the Google Reader API. Apparently it will be exposed in a more obvious way in the Account dialog in the next version (6.2).

Platform issues which disadvantage Firefox compared to first-party browsers
Yeah, Orion's support for Firefox extensions is a big red flag. These 2 issues on the Firefox-iOS tracker[0,1] around extensions and content blockers have long mentioned Orion, but there's no response from Mozilla.

last known version to work on ios 12?
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/commit/686d36402c6a956f460abafc8f1fe19a7887a2f3 landed in v38, so it looks like v37 was the last to support iOS 12.
You can use this page to ask the developers about this.

Improving Firefox Responsiveness on macOS
I'm fine with calling Blink based browsers "Chrome skins" and WebKit based browsers "Safari skins" but only if we all understand that "skin" isn't just a cosmetic thing. Firefox on iOS has its own features, settings, history, bookmarks, sync system, and other stuff that can create real, noticeable differences. Even if you assume "skin" means just the UI behavior, wouldn't it make sense that there could be a Firefox-specific bug with the URL bar?
To answer the GP's question, this does seem to be a known issue that might be improved with a future update to the Places database: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/11775
