I switched to Firefox for Mac and iOS completely the moment Quantum came out of beta, and I really want it to succeed.

However, I experience severe speed problems loading Google apps (drive, sheets, slides, inbox) along with occasional freezes and CPU spikes.

Additionally, I experience a bug on iOS where certain pages will only render partially and turn completely blank when I scroll down. Refresh doesn't help, which makes me open Chrome again to load the page.

Firefox is still my default browser as I'm still trying to convert myself, but it turns out I'm typing this message in Chrome again.

The performance of Google apps in Firefox (and any non-Chrome browser) have always been sluggish. But since I updated to Quantum its been much smoother for me. Also don't think the mobile (iOS/Android) versions of Firefox have seen the Quantum updates yet.

Note: I'm on Linux

Apple doesn't allow anyone to use anything other than the system provided Webkit, so FF on iOS is just a wrapper for Webkit.

That makes sense. I didn't expect the whole quantum engine to be running on iOS, but I hoped hoped Firefox to be at least as be reliable on iOS as Chrome (also Webkit) or Safari.
