The rumour I’ve heard is that they got a massive grant to develop this game from an Asian government (thinking Singapore but not sure) and if they scrap it, they have to pay it all back possibly with fines, so they’re desperately trying to avoid cancelling it. No idea if this is true though.
This was my only issue with Firefox on Android and I’m so glad to see it addressed. Honestly kinda expected it’d be years before they look into this.
