Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello. I want to download Your new version of Android Firefox? Why i must use site like apkmirror.com ? Why you have so big problem to use any FTP or any site on Your servers to take this packeges. Im saying about full version of public? Why topic about this from 2015 is close and thes links dont works? Please send me good link to one site and will be nice like dont delete it in future like last topic about it! Please help I dont use google gulag store! Thanks best

Sync was working great across multiple devices, which was the main reason to choose Firefox actually. Then, two days ago it just stopped. No device was syncing the tabs on the other ones. I had to add the devices again, losing all synced tabs in the process.

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

I use Firefox Android and Bitwarden Password Manager.

When I try to generate a passkey for some website Firefox asks me for the device to store the passkey. The only suitable Option is "This Device". When I tap it, i am asked for authentification (Fingerprint). After Authentification the website gives me a success message and the whole process is complete but the passkey isn't stored anywhere.

In every other browser on android I am asked for the entry in Bitwarden where the passkey should be stored. On windows this works with Firefox

Is it intended to work only when passkeys are stored in Firefox itself? At least a hint that it doesn't work with external Password Managers would be helpful - lost passkeys are a pain

Every time Firefox updates, the settings I have (eg. Address bar on bottom, no stories on homepage) are erased and set to default. It's been happening for the last year.

Ever since the Fennec F-Droid 142 update, Fennec has trouble loading pages properly, even when you currently have Internet access. This happens when you try to access any page directly from the home page and from the status bar from within the app, and the page tries to connect but completely stalls with loading as a result. This issue is not affected by the in-app mini browser view that pops up when tapping a link in another app to preview in Fennec or when you have any other app open that uses the Android System WebView (or in most cases, any WebKit based browser, as it doesn't have to be the Android System WebView most the time for this bug to go away!) for loading content, which in fact this strange bug in Fennec will go away as a result.

This issue is only addressed in Fennec F-Droid 142 and does not affect any other forks of Firefox or even the proper upstream versions of Firefox where this issue does not occur. This issue only occurs every time after restarting your Android device, in fact the one that I'm using is a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

I have also reported this issue directly to Google engineers so that they know what might be going on. Given that I'm on a beta version of Android 16 (QPR2 beta 1), this is to be expected. Thank you all so much as hopefully someone at Mozilla will have a small patch ready for when Fennec 143 goes into testing pretty soon!

Let's say I have Firefox running in the background for the day. The theme is white, because it's daylight. At 10pm I go back to Firefox, well it stays white whereas it should follow the system theme (that automatically changed at sunset). Restarting Firefox works, theme applies.

It should be applied automatically whether Firefox is running or not in the background.

I Am REOPENING the Topic from the following link , because it is NOT Resolved ...

"Opening local HTML files." LINK: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1466164

The Original Article indicated that someone could not open "local .html files" that would be on the phone , such as using firefox , to open a "local .html file" that was located at "phone/folder/filename.html" ;

In the link above , the "Response" from the "moderator" called "Paul" said ...

[QUOTE] Hi It is currently not possible to open saved HTML files in Firefox for Android. There are no plans to allow this in the near future. [UNQUOTE]

That response is blatantly FALSE .

The PREVIOUS version of Firefox , namely "fennec" , CAN open "local .html files" , even at this very moment in time .

When using the PREVIOUS version of "Firefox for Android" , namely "fennec" , a "local .html file" AND a "local .txt file" could EACH be opened by CLICKING the "local file" , and then the "phone" would "DISPLAY A PROMPT" to open the "local file" using the phone's native "HTML VIEWER" , or using "FIREFOX" .

The PREVIOUS version of Firefox , CAN also upload images to "forums" .

This can easily be verified by uploading a discontinued version of "fennec" from the following link , or elsewhere ... https://download.mozilla.org/?product=fennec-latest&os=android&lang=multi ( The Link is found at ... "How can I download a previous version of Firefox for Android?" LINK: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1300966 )

When using the CURRENT version of "Firefox for Android" , namely "fenix" , the "phone" just opens the "local .html file" or "local .txt file" using the phone's native "HTML VIEWER" .

The CURRENT version of "Firefox for Android" , namely "fenix (v110)" , will NOT Upload "local images" to forums , such as when an "upload button" is pressed on a "forum" , something that "fennec" can do ; and yes , the phone's "permissions" was granted to firefox to access the phone's "storage" .

As a side note , the previous "fennec" also Displayed a "button" at the top of a "page" to show a "simplified page view" , for those sites that offered "simplified page views" , something the "fenix" does not offer .

Is it a "BEHIND THE SCENES" Mystery , about why the previous "fennec" could do all those things , while the "new" "fenix" can not ?

P.S. The ONLY reason I changed FROM "fennec (v68)" , literally about TWO WEEKS AGO , to "fenix (v110)" , was because some "sites" were saying "browser outdated" , or some "sites" were displaying "jumbled pages" , presumably because the "sites" were "trying" to do more "fancy javascript" and other "unnecessary bling" .

PROBLEM : "fenix" will not open "local .html files" PROBLEM : "fenix" will not open "local .txt files" PROBLEM : "fenix" will not "upload images" to "forums" . SOLUTION: look at the PREVIOUS "fennec" , and then fix the CURRENT "fenix" .

To those whom it concerns , I Thank you for trying .

Hello,

I realized while connecting to a website that my connection data (username and password) won't fill automatically. I then check my passwords in my Mozilla account : all is empty...

I wonder if there is a way to recover all those passwords?

I cannot check if the passwords are still saved in the second device for the moment.

Thanks for your help.

For the last month or so, whenever I open a new page there's a long delay where nothing happens. I tried disabling the extensions but it still happens. My Firefox (Android) is up to date and I can share a video and other relevant info. Thanks

so I'm using two extensions ublock for blocking ads and no script for avoiding anti-block killer so after two days of use I can't use the website bcz of I can't enable the JavaScript and idk how I search but I just can't find way to enable it and avoid ads at same time

I just wanted to report that a company recommended to me for a Password Keeper may be a scam.The company is called Keeper Security, Inc., out of Chicago, Illinois. They have a Password Keeper that gives you new user options for monthly, quarterly, and yearly subscriptions. I signed for monthly, with a new user amount of $1.67. They charged me the quarterly amount of $21+ ... which will be $39.99 the next quarter. I contacted them about their error, but have not yet received a reply. I just wanted to warn you so you can warn other Firefox users that this could possibly be a scam! Thank you.
