Firefox for Android Support Forum

I just noticed this issue about maybe 2 weeks ago. A few tests seem to show it only happens when I use the Google search engine as my default search option. I tried it with Bing search, and I had no issues. I also tried it in Chrome with NO issues either.

So, when I first open FF and enter a search word or phrase from the homepage/default page, it opens the default search engine Google with the results, along with the word or phrase I entered at the top in the text field under the Google logo. It's this text field that is the issue. I should be able to use the backspace to delete characters and change/update my search criteria, YET every time I press backspace, it just auto generates random suggestions, and then places the cursor at the end of the suggestions, thereby preventing me from being able to type my new search criteria!

I can press the X to clear the field, but then as soon as I start typing, it does the same thing, and starts generating random suggestions, and moving the cursor to the end of the suggestions each time, thus I'm still never able to enter my search criteria.

I have cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled FF, and the issue still persists. I have noticed that sometimes after reinstalling FF, it will work properly for like a minute or so, but then the issue comes back. Also, doesn't seem to matter whether I sign-in using my FF account or not.

Please fix this as I do not want to use Bing for my search engine, and I really don't want to have to go back to Chrome either.

I have the latest version of Android 13 and Firefox up to date on my phone, but there's been some weird behavior when playing videos as of late. Videos refuse to properly go fullscreen now. When I tap the fullscreen button, the video moves to the center of the screen but stays in portrait orientation, which is obviously not what I want. In addition, picture-in-picture is not working at all, and the notification control panel (that lets you pause and play minimized videos from the notification) is not appearing even though notifications are not disabled for Firefox. Videos still play, but almost none of the features for them are working. What is going on? Can anyone help?

Dear Administrator,

I am mobile developer, and I have created an app, that uses firebase dynamic links. With those dynamic links the users are able to authenticate into the app, via a link, that is sent to their emails. Uppon clicking on this email link, a browser should open the link, but should immidiately redirect the user and open the application, if the app has been installed.

On android this functionality works with Chrome, Opera, Duckduckgo, Edge and Brave. (So far what I have tested worked). But with firefox it just opens the google play webpage. It was a fresh installed firefox, as of now the latest version. Do you have any insight why it is not working in your browser?

Sincerely, Dezső Csete

There is a forum where poster tried to embed YouTube video, but YouTube refused to deliver the data. All browsers display there instead their customized messages about website error. So does Firefox for Android 113.2.0, but in this message it refers to itself as Nightly. Seems like developers forgot to tweak some settings in project.

Nightly Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, m.youtube.com will not allow Nightly to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

Hi there, Firefox on Android is unable to show a progress on files that is currently being downloaded. It does, show notification, and I can pause and cancel it from there, but the details are unknown, the progress bar doesn't tell how much bytes has been downloaded and when i press pause and resume, the state is horribly unknown, the progress becomes 0%, etc. What I want is that Downloads menu in three-dots menu must show this too, not only the files that has been downloaded.

Hello! I've got a problem with installing website's PWA on my phone through the Install option in the 3 dots menu.

The website I'm talking about is 9anime.to and it worked fine on Brave, but when I switched back to Firefox, it just does not work for some reason. It also does not make an app icon or whatever it was supposed to do.

I'll provide the google drive link for the video how it looks on my end.

I also included in the uploaded images, the Firefox version and as well my phone's version.

ON MY PHONE. I play a game on web3. For years it worked, now it does not respond. It shows the sign on screen and saved pw, BUT will not accept or function past that point. I have cleaned history, but nothing. I still play on my computer. But no longer on my phone. Sync was done. It used to work, that is what gets me.

Hello Please add option in credit card section to add year of card manually. Because in some countries as iran, cards data is shamsi calendar. For example card expire in 1405 year.

Thanks

When I tap on the address bar to enter a new search term, the current text in the address bar becomes highlighted, but as soon as I'm done either typing the new search term or saying it using voice search and I hit enter. The address bar adds the new search term to the end of the originally highlighted text and then does a search. As if the old and the new text is one in the same. How do I fix it so that the new search term will automatically replace the old text as it's always done?

If I want to installt he nightly version for Android on my phone. Will it be better to uninstall the common version before? Can the present settings, passwords and bookmarks be transfered from the common version to the Nightly. Any useful tips or recommendations, please? Thank you very much for the help provided.
