Firefox за Android Community Forum

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

On my desktop all my sites I visit open on the same tab unless I choose otherwise. I want to do this also on Android but there does not seem to be an option. How can this be achieved. Currently if I open 10 websites I get 10 tabs, which is ridiculous!

How do i stop firefox from opening a new tab everytime i open Firefox? I just want one tab unless i choose to open something in a new tab. Everyday i end up with like 30 tabs and it's slowing my phone down.

I have my tabs setting to automatically close in one day. When I open Firefox I will have lots of tabs still open after the one day mark. I am having to go in and manually close all tabs. Is there a reason there not closing automatically?

Thanks Kieth

This is a feature regression that happened probably 2 years ago and has finally irritated me enough to make a ticket. If I click in the address bar and type a new address or search, I want to close the tab I am on and navigate to the address or search that I entered.

Doing that on desktop has the desired behavior of using the same tab and navigating away.

Doing this on android used to be like desktop.

Now it is awful and you end up with a million not closed tabs.

What is worse is clicking back from that first new search tab leaves the tab open and goes back to the tab you were just on.

So now I have two tabs one of which is orphaned the next time I search something and I will forget about it.

I tried to look for flags on android to flip it back, but you got rid of these I think the same release the behavior changed.

Sincerely someone who used to have like maybe 15 tabs and now has a few thousand all because of your crummy decision to not close tabs when navigating away.

One way you could help is making a option to split screen two different windows in the same screen simultaneously, that way we can multitask and be more efficient.

I use private browsing as my default and really only open regular tabs when I want to save something for a long time. My private tabs often close on their own at random times when I'm tabbed out with the Firefox app open in the background. If it happened every time I tabbed out or once a day or something I would assume it's a feature, but recently my tabs went about a week without closing and since then they've been closing when I'm tabbed out for 20 minutes. What's happening?

Hello. It's a known issue already, but i will share it once again.

When i switch to a different app and then come back to Firefox, the tabs always reload and any process or pending task is lost.

That's a huge problem because it's impossible to copy and paste codes from an authenticator, fill any text to a form or simply continue watching a paused video. The tab simply reload and you lose everything.

It's very annoying because it doesn't happen to any other browser. I'm a longterm user of Firefox for many years, but this is my only complain.

Dear developers, please do something to fix this issue.

Thank you !

I'm having a problem often, after a search, when I navigate to a result. Within a few seconds, there's a slight delay for processing and I will be back on my page of search results. It just seems like this is happening pretty often all of a sudden.

It seems like there's some reason it wasn't done with the previous page, and it's reloading? It could be a Google script gone awry, for all I know.

Maybe this would be a bug report, but I can't rule out a settings change or accidental touch inputs that cause my browsing problems. This aging phone's speed may be giving it difficulty processing touch input. Maybe the digitizer is being weird and interpreting a touch on the back button. Let me know what you think.

I've been holding on to about 50 inactive tabs for quite awhile now, a couple of them for more than a year. No problems until just a few minutes ago most of them vanished without warning. All at once. What made them disappear, and can I get them back?

Looking for support on searching for tabs on Firefox for Android which is similar to the [version] .

Hello everyone, I don't know where it comes from (my screen or moz update), but I have a problem I didn't have before. When I open the tabs menu, the option to close a tab by sliding it laterally is way too sensitive. When I slide vertically to navigate, I very often close one of my tabs. Very annoying. I checked in the parameters if there was an option to deactivate that (Especially that there are crosses on each tabs to close them. The lateral sliding is pretty useless). Is there an option in about/config to deactivate that parameter please ? Thanks in advance.

i really need to PERMANENTLY DISABLE the infernal, default auto-refresh session on return to already opened tab. tyranny of the default on Android.

if/when i want to refresh that session, i'll do so MANUALLY.

i want this, not only in alpha, but beta & standard, too. so, it just can't be buried in about:config, which is nanny-state removed from standard. it must be exposed in UI Settings.

i'm not the first or only to request this.

Hello, I've been having issues with the Firefox app on my Android ever since the most recent update on 4th of July. Whenever I tap the "tabs" button, the tabs viewer opens as always, but if I try to scroll and browse the tab, or if I try to close any of the visible tabs, the whole app crashes. Because of that, I can only switch between tabs by swiping, but it can be annoying if you're used to using many tabs like myself. I have cleared my cache multiple times and it didn't help. I am not too tech-savvy but is there any way to fix it? Thank you!

I think it would be more convenient if the list of inactive tabs opened in portions, starting with the newest ones, with an option to open the whole list in case someone needs that. That would allow for better performance and reduce the time spent scrolling to the end of the list

I just lost several hundred tabs on Firefox mobile right after it updated itself. The most recent tabs show only ten of those tabs, which were all opened and closed today and aren't part of what I need to restore.

How do I get my tabs back? I've seen no 'restore previous session' option. My laptop only shows the few I have open now. What do I do to restore them?
