Conflicting info on Dark Mode removal from Firefox for iOS
Users are complaining that the latest Firefox for iOS update has removed the "Dark mode" option from the menu:[1]
> I suffer from Diabetic Retinopathy and hence photophobia. To me, this removal is an Accessability issue.
A forum moderator who's in touch with the developers said days ago that this is an experiment affecting half of the userbase:[2]
> The team is currently doing an experiment. Since March 15, 50% of users no longer see Night Mode switch from the hamburger menu. We're using this experiment to monitor and evaluate the impact of removing, so it'll be hugely valuable to hear your feedback around this feature. Thanks!
However, Mozilla's iOS team manager doesn't know about this huge experiment and think it is a bug:[3]
> Moving Focus into the Firefox repo so it can get more love and support. This happened last release and may be the culprit that broke dark mode. We're looking into this right now.

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.

Why Firefox shows unsecure connection when using reader view
When you use Reader View, Firefox parses the text of the webpage and loads it as a local page. It isn't supposed to show a red slash, though. Reader Mode shows a neutral icon (📄) on the desktop version. Please open this page and click on New Issue to report this to Mozilla, and then share the link with us.

Hamrobazaar not opening in Firefox
Have any of you faced this? If the website is made to open only in chromium-based browsers, I am planning to report to Webcompat. But before that, I thought I would make sure from others. Any experience or quick fix would be appreciated.

Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here Are Some Tips
Teams was a classic hellhole for me when I was using Linux. Nowadays it lets you in but Firefox genuinely doesn't support all of the features the Teams site uses. This means certain features are made unavailable to Firefox users. Forcing the user agent makes some of these partially work but they are also still broken so Mozilla doesn't want to enable a user agent override by default and Microsoft doesn't want to enable a feature that only half works.
This GitHub WebCompat issue serves as a good example history https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/77892

Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider
having recently looked at a firefox performance regression for filing a bugreport, tooling that tracks performance (quite publicly) sees attention, easy upload to share tracing profiles also helps: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/ind...
Their dedicated blog keeps you posted if firefox perf is your interest https://blog.mozilla.org/performance/
If you have a particular website you notice chromium being significantly faster with, for an easy report, there's https://webcompat.com/ - though bugzilla is better than it seems when coming from github issues
