Firefox vir Android Community Forum

Respected Mozilla Firefox Team,

I am a regular user of Firefox on various platforms and greatly appreciate its privacy-centric approach and performance. However, there is one feature missing on the Android version that prevents me from making Firefox my default browser—custom wallpapers. Currently, I am using Microsoft Edge as my default browser on Android, primarily because it allows me to select wallpapers from my phone's gallery to personalize my browsing experience.

I kindly request that you consider adding this functionality in a future update of Firefox for Android. Allowing users to choose wallpapers from their gallery would enhance the personalization options within the browser, making it even more user-friendly and visually appealing.

Thank you for your time and continued commitment to improving the browsing experience.

Warm regards, B. R. Shriradhakrishnasharnam

when i on debug menu settings in it secret settings then ca certificate settings and then when i close the firefox app debug menu settings are gone have to repreat the process again and again

I rarely go online so I simply use my phone's tether connection the few times I do. I recently upgraded to a new phone and 5G service. Now I discover I can no longer get onto the internet via either tethering or hotspot. The phone connects with the desktop okay and the two devices know about each other but Firefox cannot find any servers. It worked just fine under 4G. Luckily I did a software update of Firefox on my desktop before the new phone and used it a couple of times so I know it is fully up to date. My desktop is Linux mint but I don't think the pblm is there. I am suspicious it is the handshaking that the browser has to do with the 5G network.

Has anyone tried this yet?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to player.vimeo.com because this website requires a secure connection. What can you do about it? player.vimeo.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Greetings I have a Samsung tab S4 and Firefox on it I've been trying now for 3 days to find how the hell to back up my entire information, Bookmarks, pwds, history.. all of it.

Regarding BACKUPS. Have you RENAMED IT to Something Else? Furthermore, I Don't have 3 Lines - I have 3 dots and NONE of the information (even on YouTube) looks anything like what my browser looks like

PLEASE Advise Thank you

Everytime I get push notifications from the sites I have enabled for the same, the minute I tap on them, they redirect me to a blank tab in the Firefox interface or the last open tab in the UI.

This problem has always been there ever since I have started using Firefox for Android.

For some reason, for like, 19 out of 20 times I try, I cannot google search anything on the Android firefox app. I type in the query. I hit search. It loads for a long time. And I am met with "server error".

No other apps seem to have trouble connecting. No other websites on the same browser and phone has these problems. I can kind if get by as long as I know the url. But as soon as I try to find anything where I don't know the url. I get the same Server Error. It's been going on for weeks. I've disabled all extensions and uninstalled them. I've been on multiple networks both at home and work and mobile networks. I have reinstalled firefox. I have tonight even cleared both cache and data. Other devices on the same network and browser can google just fine. Nothing I can think of has made a difference.

I google. I get server error.

Anyone hasany ideas I can try out? I am certain some kind of user error is involved. It usually is. But I am at a loss of what it could be.

On Firefox Android, every time i completely close the app and reopen it, I'm logged out of sync. Of course this is incredibly annoying and makes sync basically useless, since having to start a fresh session multiple times a day not only takes time but it creates a huge list of "devices" so sending tabs back and forth becomes a nightmare.

Any idea what might cause this? AFAIK I'm not swapping IP's multiple times a day and i haven't used a VPN during the time this started happening. (I do have ProtonVPN installed, but it's a fairly trustworthy company so i doubt it's that.)

FF 130.0 (from the play store) Android 14 + security updates up to august 1st Motorola edge 40 neo

I use firefox on my android Fairphone to play podcasts and videos because I don't want to have a zillion more apps and this matches the way I use the net on my laptop anyway.

One thing that bugs me is the notification bell every time I start watching / listening, and then the notification sound when it stops.

I've checked through the android settings (version 13) but I can't find it. Is there a control in Firefox which is causing the notifications?

I need to build firefox android with an extension installed. I'm trying for ublock origin now but I'll use my own extension later. I do not plan to submit this or whatever,it'll be local. How can I do it?
