New ask Hacker News story: Five year old bug is a testament to the diminishing Firefox interest
Five year old bug is a testament to the diminishing Firefox interest

Whenever I say that I use Chrome on my android phone, some smart troll retorts with "But why not Firefox?" The truth is that I tried to use Firefox many times on Android. It is these little things like this nagging bug[1] that push me back towards Chrome. This is a five years old bug, you can see my own comment [2]. Firefox still doesn't have even as basic a feature as spell check on the text editors in the browser window! There are two options apparently, they can either use Hunspell package (which increases the app's download size a bit) or the Android's built-in spell checker. In all these five years, Mozilla is still unable to decide which of these two methods to use and the bug remains unresolved as of now (face palm!). I hope this (and other similar nagging issues) get resolved soon and Firefox becomes usable on mobile. Next time, please don't ask why I use Chrome!
