Does librewolf or water fox have a mobile version that syncs tabs to desktop like official Firefox ?

[–] sunth1ef@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All Geckos can sync if Mozilla Sync is enabled with an account. So you can sync say LibreWokf or WarwrFox on desktop to any mobile version, such as IronFoz. They do not have to "match".

Oh cool, I didn't know that and it was the main fear I had from swapping. I really should have just looked it up by now, but oh well.

I use Librewolf on my work and personal desktops, then Waterfox on my Android. I prefer Waterfox, but I find the logo so lame looking I settle for Librewolf. The OOTB settings for LW are super strict and a slog to deal with unless disabled. WF feels like using FF in just about every way.

Agree on waterfox's android icon looking bland lol. and a lot of icon packs don't have an icon for waterfox and still not making it despite requests.

No, but you can use Ironfox or another Android Firefox fork and have working sync.

Waterfox does, I use it.

Edit: On Android.

I use Librewolf everywhere but android where I use Firefox. The sync feature works perfectly between the different brands. Librewolf does not currently offer a mobile browser.

I use fennec, but librewolf proposes using IronFox
