Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

Sometimes in January/February, I noticed that most webpages appear zoomed in on my Google Pixel 9 Pro running on Android 15. I have tried toggling on Desktop mode to view content that runs off the screen, but this is not an ideal workaround. This issue might be related to a recent Android update because I noticed many display changes on my phone across multiple apps in January. I had hoped the recent FireFox update (version 136.0) would fix this issue, but it didn't. Text will overlap or run off the page. If I turn my phone sideways, the content will usually render correctly in landscape mode. But I normally use portrait mode, so I would appreciate this getting fixed.

I've got a Samsung S23, bookmarks no longer display properly on my phone screen while adding and editing bookmarks.

I can only see them in full on my S7+ tablet because of the bigger screen. Is there a way to fix this for the phone somehow?

I used to be able to bypass this by reinstalling, and it's happened within the last 6 months, but now it won't resolve and it's really annoying.

I think this is some kind of bug. Every time I click a link in a email, FF comes up half screen on Samsung Tab 7+. This is extremely irritating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ff with no change. Can't find any setting in my tab that could be causing it either. Any clues?

In the Android Firefox browser in the Xiaomi device, any Chinese characters in 'monospace' font, including 'code' and 'pre' elements, are rendered in a strange font. This issue does not happen on other browsers like Via Browser on the same device.

When using Firefox (for Android) on an older Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (8.0") Android 7 Tablet. I see a lot of what I would describe as screen tearing.

I've included a couple images to show the problem.

Everything was fine until a couple updates ago (maybe 3 or 4). I keep hoping it gets fixed and I have download updates as they become available.

FYI... both the Samsung Internet and Chrome browsers both display fine. It does seem specific to Firefox. Also, newer devices seem to work fine.

I have just updated to Firefox v134 stable release on Android and now when I log into github.com, the webpage is glitching and not being rendered properly. The avatars on github look torn and they are blinking when I scroll up and down. This is occurring with current Firefox stable, beta, and nightly releases on Android.

My device is a Samsung T813 tablet running Android Nougat (Android 7.1).

I should also mention that Firefox v134 on Android is also showing UI glitches when viewing the settings in certain extensions, like FoxyProxy. Although, I have also done a clean install of Firefox v134 with no extensions installed and the webpages like github and still showing the rendering problems mentioned above.
