I regularly visit a site whose URL begins with "ni". When I type "ni", the full URL appears an an autofill suggestion. This is the desired behaviour.

Unfortunately, after visiting the site "nitecruzr.blogspot.com", this site is autofilled when I type "ni".

Firefox's documentation sais that if I delete the page from my history, it won't autofill again. Unfortunately, after deleting the page, this site still autofills when I type "ni".

How can I actually remove this site from address-bar autofill?

Hi!

Suddenly the entire UI of the browser has changed. I have a big bar at the bottom of the screen taking far too much space with buttons I hardly ever need. And when I do need them I know where to find them. Thus they need not be as available as that (read: constantly in the way). It's not enough that it goes away when I scroll down as it pops up as soon as I scroll up again, along with the address bar.

How do I remove this bottom bar? The older UI was far better and didn't take this much space.

Thanks!

Which data are stored in "User Data" and how to clear this kind of stored data? When deleting data in the privacy settings in Firefox, the "User Data" storage is still unchanged. Also "Cache" is not cleared completely.

The "User Data" raises up to 1GB. It is only possible to clear it by completely wiping all data via "Clear Storage" but then everything is wiped, also all Firefox settings etc. "Clear Cache" obviously only wipes the Cache.

(1) Page become blank and only show big firefox logo everytime i switch from other app.

(2) after the page become blank, If you type new url in the url bar on this page, it doesn't go to your URL instead the page will refresh to the previous url. So you have to enter your URL twice. It look like some memory issue, but my phone has 12 GB RAM, run on latest android and hyperOS 3.0

This good browser become barely usable with this annoying bug. So please fix this issue.

Videos cause screen to get stuck in landscape mode

If I have a YouTube video open in another tab, when I switch back to that tab my screen will automatically become landscape mode and will not rotate to portrait mode. The video doesn't become fullscreen; it doesn't matter whether the video is playing or not. This happens even with auto-rotate turned off. The only way to get the tab back to portrait mode is to make the video fullscreen and then minimize it, after which auto-rotate works correctly again.

Firefox on android gets stuck in landscape mode after playing a video on YouTube. Usually this happens after exiting fullscreen but can also happen when switching to another app and back to firefox. Going in and out of fullscreen again usually fixes it, but you can't do that on shorts and it's very annoying. I tried to use a fix posted 7 years ago of going to about:config (which I had to go to separate settings and enable to even get there) and toggling media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation, but that setting doesn't appear to exist anymore. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

When watching a YouTube video on Firefox while plugged into Android Auto and then unplugging the USB cable, Firefox becomes unresponsive. The video first pauses and if I try to play I get a spinning wheel. If I open a new tab and try to go to a website, I just get a gray screen. If I open recent apps and close Firefox and reopen, the issue persists. I cannot access any websites. If I open settings and select Quit Firefox, I'm stuck at Clearing Browsing Data... The only way to fix this is to open my phone settings and go to the Firefox app and clear cache.

To me this is a bug that needs to be fixed in the Firefox app.

Additionally, when I manually ask to translate, I always need to select the drop down menu and select the language, it does not use my app language neither saves the last one. I use Firefox on my Windows laptop and it works normally, but on this Android phone it doesn't. May I ask your support, please?

Thank you.
