I can live without widgets on FxOS, I can live with various slowdowns of the system, but I simply find it infuriating that there is no global back button. Why Why Why Why Why should I need to go back to the home screen just to go back to the previous screen?

Every. Single. Android user who had tried my Firefox OS phones has made the same comment. There's little chance of winning a significant number of Android users if something so fundemental is missing, and there's even less chance of getting AOSP or CyanogenMod Devs interested.

Every time I'm in a pinned webapp and I hit a link to an external page I have to go through this unnecessary circle.

I have the same feeling with the swipe-up gesture in the task manager: it's not smooth.

And the more apps you have running the jankier the experience becomes.

There are moments when I switch between apps and I need to wait a couple of seconds until the keyboard pops up in Telegram. Then you start writing something in Telegram and the text correction doesn't keep up. It's something that I only experienced with Android 2.3, 3-4 years ago :(

Also to see how bad things are, try loading Google+. Even after the recent Google redesign of the site, when they optimized it and made it super light and super fast, for Firefox OS 2.6 running the OTA of today on my Flame, on my 10 MB/s wifi connection from work, it takes more than 10 seconds for the website to load!

This is a deal breaker for most of the users out there. Things are just too slow :( And this is on a Flame phone (1.2 GHz), which is the Firefox OS reference phone!

How can this be acceptable when the G+ app starts in 1 second or less on an modern Android phone?
