I don’t think firefox nor chromium is related to linux
Firefox can now display pdfs but can’t display html on android. Well done mozilla. Well done.
I opened example.com, which I believe contains some html, and Firefox on Android was able to display it successfully. How do you reproduce this issue? Or do I just have an older version and they removed the html-displaying feature in newer versions on Android?
I believe what they meant is that Firefox Android is unable to open local HTML files, which indeed I have found to be quite annoying in the past.
They actually did remove it in the 60s, iirc (Whenever they moved from fennec to fenix).
You can download a sample html file here https://www.moorewebexposure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/index.html.html you won’t be able to open it with firefox. You have to serve it, firefox can’t open local html files anymore. Chrom* can.
It can do it with js. Save this as bookmarklet, if you need to open html with firefox for some reasons.
