Firefox for Android does not support Material UI, has a low minimum API level, and generally seems lacking in features. Why is that?

Edit 1: also the downloading function is super unstable, I lost several files due to firefox starting the download then stopping and removing the download for no reason.

    I'm pretty sure the reason why it doesn't use Material Design is to protect it's own branding. Material Design is Google's after all.

        It is Google's. Google uses it on Google products that aren't Android. Such as Google Chrome for PC. It got a MD3 update.

    Is "generally lacking in features" relative to desktop Firefox or other mobile browsers?

    Also idk why you'd want Material UI. Not even chrome uses it AFAIK.
