Tested on different browsers with different phones. Firefox for Android overlays keyboards on top of the webpage instead of resizing the viewport. This partially blocks the view of responsive webpages and most times blocks the view of text input boxes while typing.

Image attached shows how the keyboard is overlaid on top of the end of the footer of the Mozilla website. Last image shows a Chrome screenshot for comparison.

New version 144.0 just arrived and a bad surprise for me. I'm often using the shortcuts in the start page, but these are limited now to the first 8 icons and can not be scrolled. To see the others I need to click on Show All. This seems to me as a very bad update Up through Firefox Android 143 Shortcuts on the new tab page could be quickly side-scrolled, but that appears to be removed in 144, which I find significantly more clumsy. Please restore the prior behavior, at least and I hope it will be corrected Thank you. and copy and paste is broken on android mobile (Sorry I had to blur sole of my pint shortcuts)

Now, after the latest update (October 18 – 144.0 (Build #2016119303)), keyboard isn't "detected" by pages. So when KB is open, can't scroll to the bottom of the page. Or similarly, pages which have a message box at the bottom, KB overlays that box and everything below it. Quick test shows that only the New Tab screen and URL bar know about the keyboard status.

Hello,

My Firefox is permanently on "Desktop site" ON option. No matter how I constantly set it OFF, it always opens next link ON.

I used to have the https-only mode on, but I have since turned it because I'm unable to hit an http only site. However turning off this setting does not work. After disabling, I have tried disabling all extensions and forced an app restart, but I'm still being forced to https for a site I'm trying to use http for. I am not being forced in a private tab, so this makes me think that disabling https-only doesn't work anymore...

Hallo Community,

Seid dem neuesten Update von Android schiebt sich das browserfenster nicht automatisch nach oben. Wenn die tastatur eingeblendet wird. Sprich der chat, also das was ich schreibe, verbirgt sich hinter dem tastaturfeld.

Vor dem Update musste ich das auf vielen websiten nach oben schieben. Um das zu lesen, was ich aktuell tippe. Nun kann ich das nicht mehr hochziehen. Und muss jedesmall die tastatur verbergen, lesen, korrigieren.. weiter tippen :/

Meine versuche, die bisher erfolglos geblieben sind: Firefox app neu installieren. Andere tastatur für android installieren. Neu starten vom smartphone.

Das Smartphone hat kaum apps installiert. Ist also ziemlich blank. In anderen browsern habe ich nicht das problem. Ausschließlich in firefox. Und das auf jeder Homepage mit einem chatfenster.

Firefox ist das aktuellste aus dem playstore. Also frisch. Samsung tastatur Samsung galaxy s 23 ultra. Neuestes betriebssystem (update novemer 2025) Wenige apps installiert, wie krankenkasse oder email.

Since the latest update, to the version/build in the picture, Firefox doesn't lift up text boxes that are at the bottom of a page when I tap into them, resulting the the keyboard covering them. I can still type into them, but I can't see anything there, so to make any edits I have to close the keyboard, tap into the text, hope I've gotten the right spot, and count the backspaces, rather than selecting words or watching to know when it's correct.

Verifying account sign-in on an Android:phone is a nightmare, especially in 5 minutes. I think I managed to do it on my second try, but quite honestly, I don't have a clue what I did. Steps need much clearer documentation and/or user interface. As I remember it, after you sent me the 6(?) digit code and I copy it, I can't find the sign in form I need to use to enter the verification code. Navigation back to Firefox via my app icons takes me to a page with many, many choices... and clicking sign-in in the menu gives me a page wanting me to scan something with my phone's camera... and there's no clear path to resuming the sign-in process. It is very confusing. I must have signed in, because here I am, but I'm not sure how. My Galaxy s9 phone uses android 10. When I was looking for navigational help, your help search function couldn't help me find any of the terms I tried seearch for.

Witam, chciałbym zgłosić bardzo nietypowy problem z przeglądarką Firefox na Androidzie. W nocy z 18 na 19 października (około 23:00–6:00) przeglądarka Firefox zużyła 49,6 GB danych komórkowych, mimo że telefon był zablokowany, a ja spałem.

Nie miałem otwartych żadnych kart wideo, nie pobierałem plików ani nie używałem aplikacji. W statystykach systemowych (Android, sekcja „Zużycie danych”) widnieje informacja, że:

dane w tle: 49,59 GB,

dane w pierwszym planie: 14 MB.


Wersja Firefoksa: 144.0 (Android) System: Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Telefon: Redmi K20 Pro Professional Konta Firefox są zsynchronizowane z komputerem. Nie mam zainstalowanych nietypowych rozszerzeń.

Załączam zrzut ekranu pokazujący zużycie danych.

Czy możecie pomóc ustalić, co mogło wywołać tak ogromne pobieranie danych w tle? Czy to mogło być np. błąd synchronizacji, cache lub jakaś aktualizacja PWA / service workerów?

Dziękuję z góry za pomoc!

Pozdrawiam, Tomek

Hello, I’d like to report a very unusual issue with Firefox on Android. During the night from October 18 to 19 (around 23:00–06:00), Firefox used 49.6 GB of mobile data, even though my phone was locked and unused.

There were no videos, downloads, or active tabs running. According to Android’s data usage details:

Background data: 49.59 GB

Foreground data: 14 MB


Firefox version: 144.0 (Android) System: Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Phone: Redmi K20 Pro Professional Firefox account is synced with my desktop browser. No unusual add-ons are installed.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the data usage statistics.

Could you please help identify what process could cause such massive background data consumption? Maybe a synchronization loop, cache download, or PWA / service worker issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards, Tomek

I am in Toronto Canada!!! For decades!!! (Have traveled occasionally to Paris Italy New York Buffalo.) But, for years Moronic Firefox has "INSISTED" that I'm in Australia and won't be changed!!! Despite endless (and often only marginally relevent)setup options, this very fundamental piece of "search" information appears 'immune' to human/user change. If the option to address this is, in fact, available, it has been superbly buried! Despite my long-term preference for Firefox for a number of reasons, I give up! And will -sadly- delete Firefox unless a sane USER-FRIENDLY solution is immediately available. Best wishes, JLR
