Galaxy A14 5G, Firefox 142.0.1

The products that are displayed in the thumbnail images in the Google shopping search results are tiny (microscopic). Opera and DuckGo display normal sized images.

Does anyone know if there's a setting in Firefox that can be used to make the thumbnails display properly?

The open tab feature keeps opening at the wrong times, is unnecessary and redundant. I hate the feature. I want it removed. why this was started is beyond me, its a pain in the butt, and not helpful on any level. I want it removed ASAP.

I have been noticing for the past few months that there are several websites (Facebook, Alternet and others) where the pages will display but links will not work unless I switch to desktop mode. This is annoying because the desktop sites are often much more difficult for me to read on my phone, especially since my eyes aren't young anymore. Using the accessibility zoom feature is often awkward and can lead to accidentally clicking things I didn't want to click. In other words, it's a pain in the butt!

Add in the fact that I often get the security warning that I've seen complaints about on the web the first time I attempt to load a site and Verizon's slow-downs and outages, it has been extremely frustrating lately to use my phone! If using ad-blockers and other extensions is part of the problem, then--as much as I like the idea--perhaps these should not yet be made available?

I have tried other browsers and not been comfortable with them, so I would like to continue using Firefox because of its features and layout--but this is getting to be ridiculous.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G.

Since recently (about a month) a new problem appeared: sometimes a website gets completely stuck. No page can be loaded, it waits on a blank white screen indefinitely.

• Refresh doesn't work.
• Closing a tab and opening a new one doesn't work.
• If one website is stuck, others are more likely to get stuck, but not necessarily.
• Closing the app and opening it back usually helps.

It's a recently introduced bug and most likely related to HTTP connection handling.

In the last few weeks I noticed weird things happening with the keyboard open. The problem is that my screen gets covered by massive grey bar, sometimes it leaves a tinly slit like in the first two screenshots, sometimes it's all grey and I can't see what I'm typing. Everything seems to work underneath because as soon as I hide the keyboard my text is there like nothing happened. Last screenshot shows the extra grey bar on the top of the screen that's not there in any other app but Firefox and it's probably related (it's the same grey that covers the entire screen when keyboard is on the display). One more thing I didn't catch on screenshot is the address bar - sometimes when I type what I want, press "go" keyboard goes down but the address bar doesn't, it stays in the middle leaving the infamous grey space below. All I need to do is tap on the address bar to show they keyboard, tap elsewhere and keyboard goes out, address bar goes down.

It happens only in Firefox for most webpages, never in any other app, it does happen in private tabs as well, with no addons. Everything is updated to their newest versions, I reintalled the app as well - no results. Am I the special one because I can't se anyone else complaining about it?

Using Samsung A53 and Samsung A54, Firefox version 142.0.1 on Android. Both phones have the same symptoms. 1 Device is logged into a Mozilla account, the other is not.

When clicking a link that is supposed to open an app (for example my payment provider), it works the first time during a session. When I try to open it again, nothing happens.

I tried toggling the setting to always open or ask. This resets the mechanism and it works again for the first time. After that I have to toggle the setting again to make it work. Stopping the app and clearing cache will resolve the issue once. After that it stops working again.

It used to work a few weeks again, so I suspect an update broke the mechanism.

Hi!

This seems to be related to whatever issue was happening on Firefox when "Fixed an issue where data consumption from service workers may unexpectedly halt (Bug 1941210)." was done and consequently fixed it. My issue in particular has to do with trying to import yomitan dictionaries on mobile and it aborts midway through and says there was an JSON.parse error. Looking at it on GitHub, there was an issue like this with yomitan and Firefox and seemed to have been fixed by Firefox (on desktop?) but this continues to happen. The yomitan issue on GitHub was "Importing dictionaries stuck on validation step #1765" and wasn't a problem on yomitan's end but specifically Firefox. I have tried importing with other browsers on mobile and the only issue I've run into has been the size of files, not the error Firefox shows.

Thank you for any assistance.

I deleted bookmarks on Windows and synced on Windows 11 (142.0.1 (64-Bit)) and Android 10 (Huawei P20 pro) (142.0.1 (Build #2016110943)). The deleted bookmarks are still shown on Android. Deleting the apps data and logging back in synced one time but the next deletion was not synced again.

I play a game called WSOP, and the game have Facebook page and Facebook group that is giving free staff for the game. In the past the past the links open the game app I got the free stuff, but know the links are opening the Google shop website and not the app. I already set Firefox the open links on app, and it not working. If I open the links on the Desktop version of Firefox the open the game website version. If I open the links from email message I post the links in it the links opens the game app when I open email on my cellphone. Only on Firefox for Android the links are not working. how can I fix this? I don't want to copy paste links or use the Facebook app (it is horrible) Thanks for help.

This is the exact same issue Firefox has on iOS as well, described here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/28421

It happens for me as well: Android 15, Firefox 142.0.1 (Build #2016110943), All extensions disabled and Firefox stopped and started again. Sometimes it works. Strangely. But it is not related to my connection type (Wifi or mobile network).

I have "always open in external apps" enabled.

It appears Firefox on my Samsung Android change recently. I have not been able to sync at least the bookmarks and a few other things between my computer and Firefox on my mobile

Since around 2 weeks i noticed that empty browser elements appear and reduce the visible content window of different websites.

It is unclear what exactly causes it, but sometimes this behaviour can be triggered when setting focus on a field which requires keyboard input. I switched between gboard and swiftkey to make sure it is not causes by third party software / keyboard, issue does not occur in Chrome so it already can be exlcuded. ReInstall did not solve the issue.
