How can I roll back to the version of Firefox before the latest update? Firefox is too much of a mess to fool with since the latest update. Thanks!

Hi

What has broken in Firefox for Android? We might be able to fix it for you.

Thank you. But it's just too user unfriendly now. For years I've just been able to use Firefox with no issues. It's a shame they chose to mess up such a good thing.

Now to address the update issues, the answers are 'try this work around' and 'here's the link to a four year old problem that is being looked into.' I appreciate the ideas. I just want a usable browser again.

Incognito mode is completely broken now. And putting a link to the private browser on my phone as a work around doesn't help. Doing that requires several clicks and fighting with settings to get to the tab I was just looking at. It now opens to the 'type website in' screen instead of my open tabs. Why 10 steps to go back to my tab?

And the auto refreshing while on a web page has gotten out of hand. The screen acts like I pulled it down, and displays the spinning arrow when all I've done is type something on the screen.

This isn't a four year old issue. I've been using this browser over 4 years and this is new. But it just keeps getting worse. Trying to fill out an online form and having to retype the same pages three or four times due to automatic reloads was the last straw for me. Unfortunately, the developers have obliterated Firefox for me with this update.

Wow, so there's no way to roll it back and get rid of update 141? So I can either use a non-usable Firefox or a new browser?

Hi

Looking at those two issues:

The private browsing mode is a known and very recent issue that I understand is being looked into by our developers - expect an update soon to fix that.

You can follow work on the tab refreshing issue at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752594

I hope that this helps.
