Recently I installed Firefox on my parents' phones (uBlock Origin too) in order to make them surf the web more securely as we've had a few cases in the past with malware. (Google Chrome, the advertisement company's browser, does not like ad blockers. Wonder why?)

All they care about it is it openning Google.com and apparently they don't like Firefox's home screen. There are only options for "the last tab", "home screen" and "home screen after few hours of inactivity" but no option to go to a specific web address. In this case, google.com.

So... how do?

I believe, they basically re-implemented Android Firefox when that feature fell under the bus. Their previous architecture was incredibly laggy on Android, so that's why they pretty much had to start over...

Yup, I remember the first Firefox for Android. Rough times. Nice black interface, but clunky. The new one is butter and by far the best browser for Android
