Firefox vir Android Community Forum

So far I HATE you in my first hour on Firefox!!!!. I'm 80yo ill-disabled on a CloudMobile Android C8 phone & find your account set-up process too overwhelming arduous & unfriendly, I never got my secondary email submitted!!!!. I've never even used the Firefox browser YET!!!!! AND NOW I Already HATE IT!!!! Every time I tried to enter my new 5-minutes Mozilla account code, the Firefox code page was gone on my stupid Android phone! I'm very sorry but hate the daunting confusing Firefox Mozilla account set-up hassle!!!!

Some web pages do not display properly and I cannot enter data. For example:

https://www.easyap.com.au/bookings/

The page works properly in Chrome.

Hello,

I've been having an issue where Firefox Android keeps crashing whenever I tap the address bar. This happens when any tabs are open (even just 1) and even when I try to open a new tab to try and avoid the crashing.

The issue is consistent and repeatable for almost a year now. Thought updates would fix it as this issue was reported before. However, even after multiple updates, clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, and disabling all extensions the issue persists.

This is also not just limited to the address bar but also happens when I try to change the search engine from the quick switch on the address bar, search my bookmarks, history and settings, and sometimes when even trying to type into a website. While typing this post I backed away, closing the keyboard, when I clicked back into the text box to type the app crashed.

The only way for me to type in an address or search for something is to close all open tabs and then type into the address bar. Even a single open tab causes the app to crash repeatedly.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a website that generates and displays Unicode-based stylish text. Everything works as expected in Chrome and Edge, but some generated text doesn't render correctly in Firefox. In a few cases, the characters appear differently or fall back to a default-looking font.

I've already cleared the cache and tested with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode, but the issue still persists.

Is this a known Firefox rendering limitation with certain Unicode characters, or is there something I should check on my end? Are there any recommended practices for improving font compatibility across browsers?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

After installing firefox on my phone, tried to use, and got "unable to connect", tried a few fixes from other similar threads, but still nothing. Toggled with the https-only mode , dns of http. Even went to the app settings on my phone and gave it all permission and still nothing. Phone things: Name-Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ Model-Infinix X6880

Hello, I am trying to complete my Etsy identity verification using Firefox on Android. However, the government ID upload option is not showing. I only see a list of ID types, but there is no option to upload my ID document. I have already contacted Etsy Support, but I want to know if this could be a browser issue. Please help me resolve this problem.

I use GBoard on both my phone and my Galaxy A8. I often have to switch from one language to another when I write posts or comments and each time GBoard minimises after I changed languages. This is highly frustrating. Is this a known problem? If it is when will it be fixed? Thank you. P.S. : this doesn't happen in other browsers

Okay, I do save a lot of bookmarks. But I'm not sure how they would ever add up to more than a gigabyte of user data. I already cleared my cache, and there's still 1.37 GB of "user data". The Firefox app doesn't seem to have a way to display a menu selection where I can get it reveal the contents of my "user data", or UD. Interestingly, my UD on my other devices is also gigabytes in size, across devices newer and older devices, and even desktop on Mac OS.

I am loath to delete my UD on my devices without knowing exactly what I'm erasing. And in the app, regarding the bookmark function itself, it seems that all bookmarks are stored locally on the device that they are created on. It's nice that with the sync function in the desktop app that all my bookmarks across all my devices can be ACCESSED using my desktop browser. But to SAVE, those non-local bookmarks would need to be manually opened in my desktop Firefox browser and then re-bookmarked to actually be backed up. Currently, as it stands, if I lose the device or clear the UD, I lose the bookmarks. I verified this situation using my desktop Firefox browser, which shows the root directory of bookmarks which are not locally stored in the desktop Firefox browser as "_other". And, interestingly, even with sync on across all my devices, I still can only see locally stored bookmarks on my cell phone devices; I can only see all synced bookmarks using my desktop Firefox browser.

So what I need to know is, does there exist a good way to quickly save bookmarks from, say, cell phone devices to a desktop version of Firefox, with hard drive space. And, I would also like to know how to access all the data in the UD part of the mobile device and desktop apps, so that I know what data the app is saving, and therefore, what I want to keep and what I want to delete.

The Firefox browser for Android is my number one and primary browser, but since the recent updates (151, 152, and 153), I'm experiencing problems downloading large files or movies. Either the download speed is very slow, or the download fails altogether, even though I have a 5G phone and a 5G network. Another issue is that if I download two or three files simultaneously and then check the file manager within the browser, I only see one file; the other files are hidden. Also, the option to import and export bookmarks is missing, which is a normal feature found in almost all browsers. I've been using Firefox for many years, so please fix these issues.

My mozilla account contains history entries from a job a no longer work at.

I've tried deleting history and databases on both mobile and desktop, yet some still persist. I've experienced the issue on multiple devices, making me assume there's something up with the history entries tied to the account.

I accidentally signed out of my Mozilla account on my previous device.Now, after signing in to my account on my new device, the data from my previous device is not coming through.How do I collect data from a previous device? Please help.

Hi,

I had Firefox tab syncing set up on my phone, and the synced tabs were showing up fine on my other devices for a while. About 3 weeks ago, that phone was lost (long story — it ended up in a river) and I haven't been able to sync from it since.

Now the synced tabs from that device are no longer showing up on my other browsers, and I need to recover some important information that was in those tabs.

A few specific questions:

What is the current official expiration policy for synced tabs data (as of 2026)? I've found conflicting info in old forum threads — anywhere from 1 week to a year depending on platform and Firefox version. Is there any way to see whether my account still has cached tab data for a device that's been disconnected/inactive for ~3 weeks, even if it's not displaying in the normal Synced Tabs view? If the tab data has expired, is there any other server-side record (even temporarily) that Mozilla could check on the account side that isn't visible to me as the end user?

Any help checking the account status directly, or clarifying the actual current retention window, would be a huge help. For my email address, please request below.

Thanks, Ebe
