Support Forum

I have greatly enjoyed Firefox on Android for quite some time, but with the latest update, the browser crashes every single time that it is opened. There is no particular set of circumstances that will cause the crashes - simply opening Firefox always seems to be the trigger.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

The desktop version of Firefox has a button to turn off the 'history/shortcut'(?) windows on the opening/main page. How can I turn those off in mobile Firefox?? I seriously do not want, nor need them. For Example: Lets say one of my last visits browsing was an exotic web site. The next time I open Firefox, I am presented with an image of where I had been, regardless of who might be looking over my shoulder, perhaps a sensitive member of my family. I REALLY wish to have a blank opening page when I start up Firefox... with only a URL entry bar. Then and only then, I can choose to open a history listing or Bookmark page. This is of primary importance to me.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, anyone can offer! Rick

I am trying to use Firefox for Android.

How do I get rid of the Firefox Start Page, and set the default start page to Google? My wife doesn't understand the Firefox Start Page (l also think it's terrible, not to mention noisy)

I can easily set my desired default start page for every other browser on the planet. I haven't figured out how to do it yet with Firefox for Android.

I'm having a problem where every time I start up Firefox Beta and I go to the start screen (with recent pages quicklinks etc)....after I make a selection and attempt to go to a page...either quick link or typed url....all I see is a blank white page for that initial tab. even if I change url addresses after the initial white page on that same tab it just returns a blank white page. the url address bar indicates the page loaded correctly bit its still just blank white.

it is only when I open a new additional tab and enter a url that I can see content on the page. then when I go back to the initial tab that was blank white I now see the content that was hidden...and all I did was open a new tab, go to a url, and switch back to the initial tab. this happens EVERY time I use ff beta. I've tried in uninstalling and reinstalling the app...same behavior. I've tried launching from a desktop url link...same behavior. always I can see the quicklaunch homescreen on startup but when surfing to any link or manually entered url the initial tab sucessfuly navigates to the link but hides the content behind a blank white page. normal function is always restored by opening a new tab and opening a link and then returning to the initial tab which h is now displaying the hidden content...

again this happens every time I launch firefox beta. please help

Hi, I'm using the latest Firefox for Android browser on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I have an issue when I download an image from a website onto my phone. After I download the image onto my phone by holding my finger on the image and selecting save image, it downloads it into my gallery, but I'm unable to share the image in a text or to Facebook or anything. It just comes up with a prompt that says "no applications to share image". I've never had this issue after downloading images using the phone's native browser, but I prefer the Firefox app to that. Is there a way to fix this, is it a bug, or is it supposed to do that? Thank you.

File names always seem to be missing everything after the first space in the name as well as the file extension leading opening the file to fail in say, acrobat reader, as it will not recognize a pdf file without the extension.

I have to manually rename the files after the fact to work around this issue.

Other browsers on the phone (opera, chrome, builtin) do not have this 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

There is wifi all around me within 50 to 100 feet and I have the passwords but can not connect Mac Book Pro to the systems. I have been told that fire box can be a hotspot but how do I do that? it is installed on my android.

When phone is turned to full screen mode, there is no loading status.

So it is difficult to know when you have clicked on an icon. There is no indication on the page for how long the next page is going to be.

Is there a way off having a loading bar on full screen without the status bar?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this-but is there any way to disable images on Firefox for Android? If not I would love to have that feature in future Android versions for quicker loading.

FireFox is one of the few browsers that don't bring up the on-screen keyboard when clicking into a URL bar while a physical keyboard is connected, which makes it my ideal choice for desktop like browsing. however it does not support ctrl+A ctrl+C ctrl X or ctrl+V, which makes copying and pasting URLs very difficult.

it would also be awesome to see other keyboard shortcuts supported, such as ctrl+T for new tab, etc. thank you very much!

When I select an MP3 file from a podcast site instead of offering me the option to download or automatically downloading, it starts playing in some default player. I almost always want to download so I can play it in a better player that won't crash when I stop and start it often. I have a Razr HD and have this problem with Chrome also. My old Sprint EVO 4G browser would always ask if I wanted to download or play the file. It was great! Please help!

Hi, I'd like to report a bug or problem using Mobile Firefox on a Sony Xperia Tipo running Android 4.0 ICS. Whenever I try to enter text on a forum (such as this one) the standard Xperia keyboard appears. However, three things do not work as they should.

The first minor point is the keyboard does not automatically switch to caps mode for a new sentence, like it does normally.

Secondly, and much more annoyingly, the 'return' key does not work at all (it puts in spaces instead).

Thirdly, if you try to delete from the end of a line with the backspace key, it often crashes the keyboard, giving a "Sony Xperia keyboard has stopped working" message. After that, no more text input is possible in Firefox, but the kbd DOES still work fine in other apps.

Points 2 and 3 are seen particularly in landscape mode, portrait mode seems okay
