Why did I receive a message saying I could shake my phone to summarise an article, after I had already used the kill switch to turn off all AI? Was this a genuine mistake or is Mozilla sneaking AI features back on for people who specify asked to turn them all off?

Just updated to 152 on Android (152.01 to be precise) and no page summarise features are available - not showing in the settings page, when using the menu (3 dots) on a web page and no shake to summarise either. No shake to summarise gesture under customisation or page summarise under ai controls either.

My language is normally defaulted to system (English NZ) but changing to English UK or Enlgish US doesn’t fix this.

It hasn't been highlighted as a release that's region locked:

"Page summaries: Get key points from long articles with a tap or shake. Now available to all users in English."

Any ideas? A bug?

So I have noticed it for a couple of years now, and still this issue isn't solved. I am attaching the screenshot. When my phone is in an idle state, the Firefox app is in the background and my screen is switched off. Then the Android device should go into doze mode and save battery, but that doesn't happen due to Firefox. There is an audio wake lock, and it doesn't let the phone go into doze mode. If I always try to close the tabs when I am leaving Firefox, then yeah, it gets solved, but that defeats the purpose of having a powerful smartphone.

The new video and background feature for the Android phones where the little icon comes up in the top seems to be using up an enormous amount of memory because when I try to switch between things I can't it just delays so long I try to shut it off and it won't shut off right away it takes like 2-3 minutes unless I go in and manually Force shut it something you need to look into the future

Firefox for Android has stopped syncing (in the three-dot menu it says "Sign back in to synchronise: Synchronisation paused"). I tap that, tap "Reconnect to sync", enter my username and password, click "Sign in" and.... nothing happens. The "Sign in" button is greyed in, and it seems I have signed in because I get the email alerts about the new sign in, but the page does not redirect/tell the browser that sign in was successful.

Please could this be fixed so I can sync my bookmarks & open tabs?

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

You changed the new tab behavior a few updates ago where new tabs don't get opened besides the current tab but rather at the very end of the tab list. And me having quite alot of tabs open forces me to scroll back quite along time to get back to my previous tab.

An option to revert to the old behavior would be neat.

I deleted cookies and now I'm in a mess. I play Arcadium type games everyday, and have lost all of my scores and levels in the games. For example, I play a game with 30 levels. It's extremely difficult to get to level 30, and it took me weeks to get there. But because I deleted cookies, I'm now back to level one! Is there any way to restore the cookies to the game page? I use an android tablet. I think the game page is arcade.hsn.com Please help if possible and thank you! I didn't know that deleting cookies would remove my scores and levels. Pure ignorance on my part.
