Firefox for Android Community Forum

Firefox for Android asks for some permissions that seems unnecessary. Why "request delete packages"? Firefox doesn't need to delete other apps, does it? While we are at it, out of curiosity, why "run foreground service with the type "specialUse""? I think Firefox developers should always minimize the use of permissions, since Firefox is focused on privacy and security.

Error "No video with supported format and MIME type found" when trying to play video in many third-party players in FireFox Nightly. There is no such error in Firefox/Beta; everything works normally. What should I do? I don't want to switch to Firefox; it doesn't have about:config. And in Firefox Beta, there are no options "Enable Isolated Processes with Zygote Preloading (requires restart)" and "Enable Isolated Content Process (requires restart)", which prevent tabs from being loaded in the background. Nightly updates don't help.

Issue description

Firefox keep self logging me out from the synchronization. This requires urgent fixing.

Expected result after fixing

Firefox should never (unconditionally) self logout the user from any devices and services (with includes synchronization

Proposed enchancement

Firefox should allow to be simously logged into services (like sync) from multiple authorized devices in same time, instead beeing selective

Can't get firefox mobile to snyc with firefox for windows. Hit sync on both devices multiple times. Also signed out abd back in on both devices to force a resync also syncable items on Android are greyed out please help.

Basically every time i play a livestream on YouTube, it lags a lot/constantly buffers and when i play it, when i press the live button to go to the livesteam's current time i guess. It just goes back to the previous time in the stream and idk how to fix it. Basically i disabled ublock origin & it still has issues on mobile =( also it sometimes happens on PC but mostly with ublock on. Unfortunately i can't screen record on mobile

इस पर पूरी सेटिंग क्यों नहीं हों रही है पासवर्ड भी मानता क्यों नहीं नया पासवर्ड भी नहीं मानता है क्या आखिर अब ऐड देख कर फिर इस पर आया हूँ पर सही हेल्प कहीं नहीं है

Every time I search for something my letters are duplicating weirdly, like "test" becomes "testes"?? Ive updated the app, cleared cache, switched keyboards, no fix. It only happens with the first word or two of the sentence, and it's getting really annoying especially when I need to make a quick search. More examples are " what" becoming "whatat" or "how to" becoming "how toto"

Android 16. All Firefox versions above 151.0.4 have the same issue where an audio stream is being cut for no reason after a few seconds once the screen is turned off. The expected behavior is to play normally in background.

Any text selected in Firefox for Android on a Samsung Tablet has the "Ask Gemini" option with no way to turn it off.

This only appears on Firefox, does not happen on the same tablet in DuckDuckGo, Google Play Store, Fossify Notes App, Wikipeida app. Only in Firefox on Samsung. (Does not appear on Firefox on Sony phone).

Gemini is not installed on the Samsung Tablet, and ALL of the possible AI settings, assistants and apps are disabled, turned off or opted out of in both the Samaung Settings, the Google Account, the Mozzilla Account and the Firefox browser settings. There is no active assistant running on the device and Gemini is not even an installed app.

As this is ONLY ever appearing in Firefox for Android on the tablet and absolutely no other apps without Gemini even being installed and actively being blocked from running makes me think this is a bug specific to Firefox.

Screenshots included as this shows it the different apps listed and that this menu is different per app as some have their own context items, which again supports this being a potential bug specific to Firefox.

How can this be sucessfully reported, removed, turned off or customised to stop the accidental activation of an AI Assistant from Firefox when selecting text? (Either as text already on a page or text that has been typed into a form or doc via the web.)

Jumping to a discussion in an Article at another sit from a comment in discus.com does not open the comments section using Firefox as it does in Chrome I have to copy the link and paste it into Chrome to get to the comment’

I was signing up with you for Firefox for android smart phone. I created a password. I did my display name. I have a primary email. I was sent a code & retrieved it but I lost the page to fill it in. The 5 min time has expired. I need a new code resent & the page restored to fill the code in & proceed.

Hello everyone.

Previously, I used [https://letrasdiferentesfnt.com/] to change my font when using an older version of Firefox, but now I can't change my font anymore. What should I do?

Доброго времени суток. Можно-ли, как-то добавить встроенный плеер в мобильный браузер, где были бы стандартные функции перемотки (двойным тапом по бокам либо кружочки с секундами). Тк от сайта к сайту вид плеера меняется, а когда срабатывает стандартный, то функционал там минимальный, из-за чего просмотр длинных видео становится не удобным.

I don't really know what had happened . . . . But as this Morning (9/1st/2026) It just seems that My Previous 100+ Open Tabs (that I was planning on Organizing this Friday) had just DISAPPEARED at like 12am on like 8/31st/2026 & 9/1st/2026 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

• • • • Like how can I Re-Trieve/Re-Store

ALL of 😭😭My😭Past😭Open😭Tabs😭😭 ??!!!

I watch Doc Compton through Firefox which allows me to shut my screen off and still be able to listen to him and was able to play my games while listening to Doc. This has stopped a week ago. I already checked my settings which is selected to have picture in picture for this browser. Please help as this is draining my battery leaving this open.
