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?

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

You can download a sample html file here www.moorewebexposure.com/…/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.

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.
