Firefox за Android Форум

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.

And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

Hi,

I have a plenty of tabs accumulated in my FF on Android, v119.1.1 (Build #2015984795), 2a75e15258+ GV: 119.0.2-20231108221453 AS: 119.0.

Within Tabs menu there is Share all tabs option. When clicked, the Save as PDF, Print, and typical android sharing options are presented.

Click on Save as PDF does nothing. Sharing to other apps works partially (text list is shared, but some parts of it are not kinks but a concatenated text of tabs titles combined together, not clickable, not https:// part).

The phone has lots of tabs, many of which are deactivated.

I want to backup them and review on bigger screen, but can't do that :)

Sharing to other devices connected via Mozilla account shares only subset of tabs, not sure about the logic, the most recent ones for sure + some deactivated but not all of them.

On the mobile app for Android (Google Pixel 2 XL, Android version 11), there's this really annoying issue where tabs are constantly duplicated. Normally, it's when I search something on Google (through Firefox). It pulls up the search results, of course. But when I hit a link, here's what happens: the tab is redirected as it should be, but simultaneously another tab is opened, which is a duplicate of the original tab (the one with the search results), and Firefox switches to view that tab, tab 2. So I have to go back to tab 1 to see whatever, and usually I then close tab 2. After this, once I've been hit a few links on a single tab, caused that tab to redirect a few times, it stops doing this. I've also noticed a similar issue, specifically with Google images in Firefox. Sometimes, when I open a picture to view it, every time I go to the tab with the picture, it opens a tab of the Google images page (before I selected a picture). This will happen endlessly sometimes, every time I open the tab to view the picture, meaning I never actually get to see the picture.

Hi so few days ago I broke my phone it's now completely unusable so now in this new phone I signed into Firefox and sure I got all my synced bookmarks and all but where are my saved tab collections?? That feature is so good which is why I saved like 30 tabs in there but none of them show up after sync please help!

So, I was redirected here after posting a review of the Firefox app on the play store. This is honestly quite embarrassing for me, especially if it's because my problem is actually a simple mistake, but I assume it'll be worth it if I can get some help here. So not very long after I downloaded Firefox, I noticed that after some time (I can't actually pinpoint an exact time, unfortunately.), my private tabs will close, and I'll only have one that is not on any of the websites that I was on. I figured this was because my tab settings, but I checked multiple times, and I have the close tabs setting set to "never." (Close manually.) Is this an issue on my part, or is there potentially something wrong with the application or my phone? I apologize if this is a bit ridiculous, but I was also wondering how Firefox will notify me if I accidentally tap/click on a dangerous/suspicious link or website, do I get a visible warning on my screen? Or do I have to check to see if the connection is secure? (I use Google with Firefox.) If this was something I could've just looked up, then again, I apologize.

All the approx 48 inactive tabs on my samsung have completely disappeared leaving only 6 open ones! Why has this happened? And how do I get them back? I kept them so I could refer to them and I was gradually working my way through them. Ixm furious.

Everytime I open a website and then click on a URL bar, the Web content disappears and it shows the home page of Firefox instead of the web content. I have attached a photo to show what happens.

Hi,

I'm having this issue with clicking on links where when I click a link it opens a new tab but the new tab contains the current page. The link I'm trying to reach opens in the tab I was originally on. I can't see anywhere in the settings a solution to this and haven't seen anyone else have the same issue. Does anyone have a fix or is this a bug?

Thanks

Hi, I had over 100 opened tabs in the tab window. Somehow they all disappeared I don't know why. It happened when I was opening the firefox app and closing it (swiping away) from the open apps list. Maybe I clicked some click combination or something else I dont know but the next time I opened my app I had 0 tabs. Now I have just one (while im writing this post). Is there any chance to restore them?

When Adding a Shortcut to the Android Home Screen, it allows you with a pop-up option to Rename the Shortcut before placing it on your Home Screen.

However, when attempting to Install a Progressive Web App (from compatible Web App web sites), and clicking Install, it does NOT give you the opportunity to Rename the Shortcut.

In contrast, Chrome/Android allows the name change in both cases (non-Web App and Web App sites).

Is this feature in the works on FireFox Android?

Is there a work-around to Rename Shortcuts either before or after placing them on the Home Screen ?

The + button in the menu that normally opens a new tab doesn't work anymore. The only way to open a new tab is by hitting one of the buttons on the top that normally show the history. When I press the + button either nothing happens or some Chinese add will load, and that ad takes me to a jd.com link that actually doesn't load. I have tried installing a virus scanner, clearing the cache, and reinstalling, but it didn't help. I am using an oppo find x2 pro and am living in China if that helps.

This applies to the latest Firefox for Android version (this issue did not occur with the previous version). I manually closed my tabs and closed the Firefox app when I exit. However, when I open the app again, the previously closed tabs are there as if they were never closed. This is fixed if I delete browsing data but, obviously, this is not an ideal solution. I have tried to attach a short clip of this issue in action but it will not upload. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have noticed for a while that when I have a tab open and switch apps and come back to Firefox, that many times the tab is blank. I try to switch tabs and switch back and the tab is either still blank or displays the content of the other tab that I had switched to. Usually its with the newest tab but sometimes can be an older tab that is currently the active tab. The only way I can figure out to get the tab working again is to close the tab and use the message that appears to "undo" this change and restore the tab.

Any help would be appreciated since this happens on almost a daily basis and will typically happen multiple times a day

Hello,

When I press the address bar to go to another website and don't type address by myself but use a bookmark from startpage a new tab is always opened. I almost all situations I don't want to open a new tab. Is there a way to configure to not always open new Tabs? I don't find information about this in FAQ.

Was asked by the devs on Google Play store to submit this ask for further investigation: When I manually close tabs on the app and then exit the app, the tabs I closed will still be there when I open the app next. It's like I never closed them!

It happens pretty frequently, I'd say about multiple times a day, depending on how much I'm using the app. It happens with both new tabs and old tabs I've had open for a while.

The only solution I've found through my own experimentation is to close the tabs that keep resurrecting and then immediately clear the app cache. That seems to keep closed tabs dead for good, but this doesn't always work. Sometimes they reappear, even after clearing the cache. I had 5 closed tabs reopen on me yesterday.

I don't want to set it up to auto close all tabs, and I don't want to leave Firefox running in the background all the time. I'm hoping a permanent fix will be implemented in a future update.

So I have a lot of inactive tabs open on my mobile device Samsung Galaxy S21 (I do not know and can't find out how many exactly); and I want to be able to have a "backup" of them so to speak, or be able to save and transfer them somehow as a file locally on my phone or a folder on my desktop through the sync function, if possible. But I believe I'm running into issues because the sheer number of them is too large?

Here's the thing though, I already did this with my tablet's (Samsung Tab S7) Firefox browser app, and since it had fewer inactive tabs, I was successful in sharing their data into a Samsung Notes file and saving that as a PDF on the tablet! So this seems like a reasonable solution (I think? but please let me know if I'm wrong about that).

So far, the Firefox app on my phone has crashed every time I've attempted this. I was using the "share all tabs" function from the tab settings menu and no matter what method of saving the info I chose (i.e. saving them to a Notes file, as a PDF directly, upload to a cloud storage, or printing it even...), the app froze momentarily and then quit, not allowing for the backup of the data.

I understand that the file size is probably too large but there is no other option for only doing the "sharing"/saving in smaller sections or chunks either. So, I would appreciate any help you can offer me in how I can fix this, deal with the process, or pointing in the right direction of some other method that would help me achieve the same goal!! :)

Thank you so much in advance, hope you are having a fun & lovely October day/night!

(oh btw, P.S. I thought I'd attach the crash logs of both my phone's own reports for the app AND the crash logs you can access in the Firefox app as screenshots in case that's helpful ^_^ and of course I'm also going to leave the Socorro link for the specific most recent crash related to these issue down below this paragraph! Hope that's useful somewhat!!)

On Firefox Desktop, Addons can access and delete tabs that are older than x Days, surpass a threshhold of y max tabs etc.

Fenix supports only to close tabs after 1 week or one month, which is a huge difference. 2 weeks is not available, as well as "close oldest tab if you open more than x tabs".

Can Addons access the Tabs? Other option would be to implement this essential feature, as the current implementation is good but not good enough.
