    90% of the time I go to search something in Firefox it just straight up refuses to load anything and I have to close the tab and start another…

              I’m using Fold 5 and can tell a difference in scrolling performance between Samsung Internet and Firefox. There are also some issues regarding how the UI handles transition between folded to unfolded and vice versa.

              This is a known issue
