Firefox за Android Community Forum

When switching apps from Firefox to other apps, it almost always reloads the webpage. This is annoying in the certain scenarios

1. After I enter my username, it goes to a password page. I switch app to my password manager to copy my password. Comes back to Firefox and it refreshes, going back to username screen. Impossible to login. 2. After I enter my username and password, I need to go to SMS or Outlook app or Authenticator app to obtain the MFA code. Comes back to Firefox and it refreshes, going back to the login screen. Impossible to login.

This happens to various websites. I have no issue with Chrome or Brave on the same phone. I even tried terminating all apps leaving with just Firefox and the same symptom happens. Memory is sufficient, my phone has 12GB of RAM.

Hi Mozilla community. I wanted to pose this question based on years of d/l's of a specific community built game Unciv (on github).

The repo and experience are cleanly maintained by competent devs. Releases are provided for several platforms, including as an Android signed apk.

I tend to keep up with the latest release rather than waiting for a new version on Google Play. This implies download of the apk, install. Firefox puts significant scrutiny on this signed apk, downloaded from a generally safe site (github), from a repo with ~10k ⭐'s.

I feel Firefox could be a bit more coherent in its security compulsiveness (which is not unreasonable to have). Of the above, starting with the signed apk, this is a practical opportunity to have a checkbox for an allowance sidestepping excessive scrutiny in future downloads that fulfills the download phenotype. Because change is implicit, a failure on the phenotype check could trigger a notice with check, a shifted allowance in the phenotype identity, versus compounded.

diligence check: I posed the above to gpt 4 & 5.1, answer there is this can't happen without some work (for android), but has merit. Posing q.

Frequently when switching tabs or opening the app to start a new search, when I've typed in my URL or search, it just hangs on a gray or black screen. Eventually the page does start loading with the rainbow progress bar and the page loads.

I've turned off extensions, it doesn't seem to be that.

ESET advised me to change my Facebook password. I decided to accept a randomly generated password so I can't remember it - I had to manually edit it in Firefox Password Manager on my desktop. I have reinstalled Firefox on my Android phone and successfully SYNCed it to the desktop, but Facebook keeps trying to use the old password.

I was thinking use clear data to free up some space for my storage, so I sync with sync 0 min ago display. I log back in, everything disappear. Little stressed. Anyway to get back my data?

Other info: Before press sync, did display sync 3 min ago, after press sync, display sync 0 min ago

Account only use on Android, doesn't sync to other device

This is all on my Android phone but I use the Stash app for investing here https://www.stash.com/ but the Google SSO button redirects me to https://accounts.google.com/gsi/transform with a blank screen and nothing happens. If I instead open the webview in Firefox as part of the browser app, then Google SSO works fine for me. Since it works in Firefox as a browser it seems to me this must be a bug in Firefox when in a webview. Any idea what's going on?

I am using an outdated Android FireFox Browser

120.1.1 (Build #2015990546), 287644eb76+ GV: 120.0.2-20231208211905 AS: 120.0.2

I think it was downloaded December 2023, never updated (for fear of losing tabs).... In Late November 2025 (recently), I opened a link in my FaceBook app (as usual, not the first time, at all), the link followed to the FireFox app and only that page appeared in my tabs- ALL OF MY TABS that were building and being saved for 2 years just suddenly vanished, and, quietly!!!!

I am using a tablet and I it has never been rooted.... I do have some knowledge in Windows data recovery, managing sessions through Windows/Android platforms through extensions, JSON files, and the Windows backup folders....

Can anyone help me, based on all info provided????

I used gem site and every time i have to fill user name manual...and for this reason i have to chek my notebook for fill user name..but in chrome u just time initial and ur user name will apper ..how would we add this feature...u have automatic fill password but not user name

I have a Pixel 8 Pro, I 'see' Paypal passkeys created by my Win 11 machine and by Chrome on my Pixel 8 Pro. The passkey page on PayPal says passkeys can't be created on 'this device or browser'. Exact same screen on all three firefox browsers.

Tried creating a passkey for www.yahoo.com and it says 'Passkey could not be created. Try Again' So that says it's not specific site related. Can a site dictate what's allowed? ( I have no idea)

Most sites seems to specify the browsers accepted but I assume that's just regurgitating the specs and usually out of date?

I saw the post from September that said it was fixed in Nightly, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the current Nightly from the Play Store.

Last week my collections just disappeared from the home screen of Firefox. I used them as bookmark folders, so now it's quite inconvenient. Is it a bug or a new feature, how do I access my collection in Android?

Hi,

I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android phone becomes noticeably slow whenever I open certain video or streaming pages. The browser doesn’t crash, but the page takes a long time to respond, and scrolling becomes choppy until the video fully loads.

I’ve tried clearing the cache, disabling add-ons, and testing on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. The issue only seems to happen on Firefox — the same sites load smoothly on other browsers.

Is this a known performance limitation, or is there something in the settings I should adjust? I’m not sure if it’s related to media decoding or just heavy websites.

Thanks for any guidance.

Hello. Although I have configured the page translation settings, the pages are not automatically translated. It may be possible with the help of Please help me solve this problem.

I have been trying to solve this lingering problem where I would like to turn off the zoom in when I activate a text input box.

I found some folks mentioning I could toggle this in about:config only to find that it does not save upon refresh.

The next option it looked like was to edit about:studies or about:profiles but I am unable to access those the same way I can access about:config

I'm using Firefox Nightly on an Android 15 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
