From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
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.
They actually did remove it in the 60s, iirc (Whenever they moved from fennec to fenix).
