It would be great if you could file an issue at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix if that still is the case.

Given https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5315 and https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5630 are still open, does this represent a regression in supported functionality for nightly users?

I dont think this has any option for "open in app" like Firefox for Android: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/4575 So if you use NewPipe or similar, dont install Firefox Preview.

Firefox Preview is a preview and does not yet support installing uBlock Origin: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5630 I plan to switch from regular Firefox Mobile as soon as WebExtensions are supported.
