I'm with you. I preferred the previous version of Firefox on Android. Since switching to the new version:
- I've noticed it crashes much more.
- It still doesn't support all the extensions I used to have, like uMatrix.
- All my bookmarks disappeared when it updated to the new version. I know syncing bookmarks would've let me recover, but I didn't realize it'd happen on the first place. And it seems like an easy problem to Amos even if a user didn't sync.
I've not noticed a crash in the several months I've been using the new version. Have you tried the usual things like clearing cache/data, reinstalling, etc? It took me a while to get used to it (especially the move of the address bar to the bottom) but I'm quite happy with it now. It also supports uBO which blocks pretty much all the ads. I agree it's disappointing what they have done with extensions though. Syncing to Firefox on my laptop is quite good though and very useful for looking up history e.g if I remember finding a good website I don't have to worry about recalling whether I was using my mobile or my laptop when I found it. All my history across all devices are there so I'll easily find whatever it is I was looking for.
