HTC Evo 4G. Firefox mobile browser 20.0.1

Using Firefox browser, if I am at a website and press "Menu" on my phone I have the "Bookmark" option. Pressing it I get "Bookmark added" message.

But then when I press "Menu", it gives me the "Bookmark" option still (i.e., add a Bookmark), but it does not show me any of the Bookmarks which I have created.

Are "Top sites" my bookmarks?

I'm ready to go back to the stock Android browser if this and one other problem cannot be resolved with Firefox.

The other issue is that I press the Firefox icon on my home screen, and the browser initializes.

The address bar says "Enter Search or Address". I press the address bar, and it now says "about:home", and the letters are white covered in orange.

But there is no keyboard.

I want to type an address in the address bar, but I cannot.

Pressing "Menu" on my phone does not give me a "Keyboard" option.

Below the address bar is listed horizontally "Top sites", "Bookmarks", and "History". But no Qwerty keyboard.

NOTE - During the time I've been typing this, a QWERTY keyboard finally appeared.

But I want to see one at once, when I press the address bar and it turns orange over the address bar writing.

Why don't I see a keyboard?

I will go back to the stock EVO browser if these problems can't be solved.

I press the address bar at the top, and it turns orange. But I do not get a keyboard. Pressing menu, I also do not get a keyboard.

With the stock HTC EVO ANDROID browser, if I touch the address bar a keyboard appears. If I press "Menu", I get "Add Bookmark" but also "Bookmarks" (my existing bookmarks).

This is wasting a great deal of time. Please help - I prefer to use Firefox, but it is unacceptable currently.

Hi. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0.

Say I have a local .html file, test.html, in my home directory, which I want to add to the bookmarks menu.. - First I use "Open File" and then choose the file from file selection dialog, - Then I press CTRL+D to save the bookmark - Then I move to the bookmarks side bar, and right click on the bookmark, and choose "Properties" - From the dialog I can see that the location of the file is "file:///home/fcihh/test.html" where "/home/fcihh/" is my home directory.

The problem is that it uses an absolute path to the home directory. My case, is that I have two machines that share the same bookmarks, but the absolute path to the home directory is different for each machine. Hence I would like to use a relative path to the file such that the bookmark can be used on either machine..

I have tried replacing "/home/fcihh" with a tilde "~" but that does not work.. (The tilde is removed automatically when I save the change..)

Reader mode icon in Firefox appears for a some sites, but not for all.

e.g. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html

is a long text very much required and suitable for reader mode, I do not see reader mode icon.

For mobile sites also its not available. I might need it so that articles are stored offline for later reading.

P.S. My device has > 1GB RAM so memory is not an issue.

when the android phone is turned off, and then back on again, any desk top icon or bookmark of an web page with a manifest will not work when in airplane mode. You must at least make an attempt to turn on wifi, even an unsuccessful attempt to find a wifi connection will do. Then when you use the book mark or the desktop icon, it will work. I have a series of phones which only have internect connection - no phone company tower connection SAMSUNG-SGH-1997 firmware version 2.2.1 kernel verions 2.6.32.9 FROYO.UCKH1. Contact wih android support only got suggestion to use the google chrome browser, which incidentally does not work on 2.2.1

My firefox on my android phone crashed which seems to caused all my bookmarks to gone missing!

Is there something i can do to maybe recover them?

This happened on Firefox BETA. (in case this is relevant or important information.)

edit: my browsing history is gone too. strange. it looks like it resetted everything after the crash?

I have just downloaded Firefox mobile for Android, and Sync'd my bookmarks. Everything is fine, but the rss feeds does not show up. Is RSS feed supported in the mobile version?
