I tested the security of my VPN and found firefox browser was allowing the WebRTC for video/audio which it is built into the browser is reporting my IP address. All I need to do is open about:config then go to media.peerconnection.enabled and change it from true to FALSE

Now after about:config is typed in the address bar the page stops loading or to say the page will not load. I am doing this on Android Firefoxs home page, beside all the different browsers you can choose. What's up with all that stuff, Please help me plug this leak! Helped me open the config program. Thank you, Mudiver

I'd like to try out the built-in VPN, but can't find it. I've seen many older posts about this, but nothing recent. It's now August of 2026.

I'm using Firefox 154.0.1 on Android 16. I'm in the United States.

I'm logged into my browser with my Firefox account. I know it's working as I can open browser tabs between my mobile device and other devices using my account.

I'm not seeing the built-in VPN feature.

"VPN" does not appear in Settings as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mobile-android-vpn

By comparison, attached is a screenshot of what I have in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Any guidance?

The website mozilla.github.io/policy-templates makes mention of the FTPProxy option that can be set for Firefox. However the admx file under github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/windows/firefox.admx makes no mention of that setting. Is the documentation in the admx file incomplete or am I missing something?

Firefox does not show validation error for a title that is too short

On Mozilla's bug reporting website, the bug title must contain at least 6 characters. If I enter a shorter title, for example "bug" (3 characters), and press the Submit button, nothing happens. The problem occurs when using the website in Firefox. I tested the exact same scenario in Google Chrome. In Chrome, after pressing Submit, the page automatically scrolls slightly upward to the title field and displays a validation message indicating that the title must contain more characters. In Firefox, there is no visible error message, no scrolling to the invalid field, and no other indication of what is wrong. As a result, it may appear as if the Submit button simply does not work. Steps to reproduce: Open the bug reporting website in Firefox. Start creating a bug report. Enter "bug" in the title field (3 characters). Fill in the description if necessary. Press Submit. Observe that nothing happens and no validation message is displayed. Expected behavior: Firefox should display the validation error for the title and ideally scroll to or focus the invalid title field, just as Chrome does. Actual behavior: Nothing happens after pressing Submit. The validation error is not visible, and the page does not indicate that the title is too short. Firefox version: 153.0.4 The same form works as expected in Google Chrome.

Sometimes I am using the youtube app to watch something on a TV, but want to quickly look up a video for someone else on my browser at the same time. I have my settings to "always ask" me whether or not to open links in their native app or stay in FireFox. But recently the setting has not been sticking. I've had to reset the settings at least three times today. What's going on? Am I doing something wrong in settings?

I apologize for the mess I made entering duplicate requests. The is the latest UPDATED request on 6/24/2026 at 3:30 PM EDT

I'm using Firefox for Android version 152.0.1 (Build #2016167575) on a Galaxy S24 Plus phone running Android 16.

Firefox is set as the default browser. It always opens whenever a task requires a browser. But when I try to open an HTML file by tapping or long pressing it, the dialog window that opens doesn't show Firefox as an option. Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

I have checked the settings in "Apps that can open links", all apps there show "In other app" In "Default apps", Firefox is under "Browser app". Screenshot_#2_20260624.jpg

What do I need to do so Firefox is either the default app for HTML files or at least shows up in the "Dialog window"? Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

Thank you!

Why is there no FIFA world cup widget in my Firefox for Android, version 152.0.1? I have looked through all the settings, but there is nothing. When I use the search feature in settings, there is a search result when searching for "world cup" which redirects me to the "Homepage settings", but there is nothing.
