Support Forum

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

Hey. So I'm trying to view a website which is image-heavy (I'd supply a link but its NSFW, and I don't know the policy here.) Its a Tumblr. I'm scrolling through posts which (as Tumblr does) are dynamically loaded in increments of ten or so, as you move through a post history, each ten appending to the previously loaded posts. I've reached a point at which, I can't load any further posts beyond a certain point without Firefox closing. I'm not sure if its because I'm hitting some sort of limit with my device or Firefox settings. It shouldn't happen though, right? When PCs hit the limit of their ram you start disk caching heavily. Maybe you can't do that on an android device, but the program shouldn't just exit with no indication of why.

Thought this may be helpful:

I was looking at a first tab on ultimateguitar.com (on Firefox mobile on my nexus 4) when I saw the gray message box appear briefly at the bottom of my screen, telling me "installation complete". I'm wondering what was installed? the site apparently has an app but I didn't accept any installation and no new apps appear to be on my phone. I've also check Firefox for new add ons - none. Could this have just been a background installation of an update to an app I already have?

my phone is a Motorola RAZR Maxx HD with Android 4.1.2 from Verizon. I've been using Firefox on my PC for years and would really like to use it on my phone, but I've about had it. Its constantly crashing and running slow. I kill tasks, and it still runs slow. Reboot the phone and still same issues. If I open chrome, it runs great. Pages load fast and it never locks up. What's going on and can I fix it? I really don't want to switch to Chrome because I really like the Sync function.

Apologies if this is a stupid question. It seems to be the case that websites designed for mobiles (e.g. http://m.guardian.co.uk/), have a default text size setting which ignores the equivalent setting in Firefox Android. Consequently, in some websites like the one mentioned above, the text is unnecessarily large, making the reading process rather labour intensive. I know I could revert to the desktop site, but I'm more likely to revert back to the default android browser (which has no problem adjusting the text on these sites), which would be shame, as apart from this problem, I am loving the Firefox experience.

I am on Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4.
