On pinephone firefox is terrible

ARM Technical Assistance

I got my postmaket os 2 days ago. I removed the postmarket os operating system and installed manjaro latest phone image.
By and large it works well except firefox that freezes all the time. It also doesn’t scale properly.
Epiphany on the other hand scales webpages very well but it doesn’t play youtube videos.
Can we expect that firefox will improve anytime soon?

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

Thank you for trying out the Alpha 3 release of our software.

Please note that we’re still in the Alpha stage, the beta will come later so it’s currently geared towards more technical users who like to tinker a lot.

Thanks a lot.
I also can’t figure out how to copy and paste text. When I select a text in the terminal, for instance nothing happens. No dialogue box pops up to copy or paste. Nothing.

Double check your firefox real quick and ensure acceleration is enabled:

  1. Open Firefox

  2. In address bar type about:config

  3. Hit enter

  4. Search for layers.acceleration.force-enabled

  5. Make sure the value is set to ‘true’. If it is not, double click it to enable
