Firefox for Android Community Forum

I wanted to take some screen shots and found my self in a goggle browser instead of Firefox browser and as a result I could not take screen shots because Google says it is because of security. Please explain to me which security, I chose Firefox default, browser etc. But It is seems as if Google want to over in everything I do on my cell phone.

Thank you

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

I started getting ads upon opening the app yesterday. It's the generic white border with an image or video in the middle, it's not every time I load but at least 1/4 of the time. I tried taking a screenshot of the ad but it just ended up as a blank screen (attached image)

I've been using Mozilla browsers since Mosaic, when I built netsys.com, delta.net, inetexpress.com and Damocles.com.

I'm trying to login to many sites which send a text message to my phone... But 80% of the time, my Firefox web browser refreshes.

I'm using android 13, 1/1/26 release on a moto G play with all background operations disabled, battery saver on...

Even if I allow Firefox to operate in the background... It doesn't matter.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

I want to make Brave my default search engine. I think i added the extension but its not on the list. Also I tried putting the url in at the add search engine page in settings. Thanks so much
