Firefox za Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox worked fin on my Asus Zenphone 5, Android 9 until recently. Now it just crashes on startup. I have cleared cache and memory in Settings. Apps, Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I have over 2GB free space. Android 9 is the latest release from Asus and no other updates are available. DuckDuckGo, Edge and Chrome are all working fine. Should I revert to an earier version? I would prefer to keep on using Firefox if possible. Thanks Andrew

Experiencing an issue on the Facebook website where it's skipping/jumping ... Anyone seeing this? I did a screen recording of it.

On android, it is possible to change the search engine of the search bar on the home screen. There you can select a Search Engine App, like Google, Qwant or Startpage.

However, Firefox is currently not available as a selectable option there. Adding it there would make it possible for those searches to be handled by firefox.

Here is a like from the Google Documention explaining it more. https://support.google.com/android/answer/14661350?visit_id=638898573078368897-2813460311&p=change_search_engine&rd=1

Hi, I can't seem to load some sites, both on mobile and desktop. I've checked my settings and can't find a reason. These sites throw an "address not found" error, but work just fine in other browsers. Examples include websites of two cities near me: https://pardubice.eu/ https://www.hradeckralove.org/

Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks

I’ve been noticing some performance hiccups when trying to use certain interactive websites on firefox for android. one example is spell bee unlimited, a browser-based word puzzle game. It works fine on chrome, but on firefox, the input sometimes lags, freezes, or the page becomes unresponsive during longer sessions.

I'm wondering if there's something specific in how firefox for android handles javascript-heavy or interactive content? could it be related to memory management or background activity?

would appreciate any insight—or if there are any browser settings I can tweak to help improve performance with this type of content.

Thanks!

After I changed the LCD screen on my Sony Xperia L3, when I tried to back on Internet line, and use my Firefox app it says that Firefox only connects to the Internet with secure connection. I couldn't use my Firefox since, basically there is no Internet connection on my Firefox app, and never forget that, my Internet connectivity is the best and I don't have any problem with that. How to sign in to my Google account to get my connections with the Internet back again? Could you please help me, I can't use my Firefox anymore!

Not sure if this is the right place to get this to the devs. The checkmark as a save function in bookmarks being taken out is potentially damaging to the user in they may accidently modify the bookmark and lose it forever. I just had a very risky accident modifying a bookmark title not realizing clicking out would permanently delete it. A link to a website that doesn't exist anymore. It doesn't take much to modify "___.com/isiuc7" and permanently lose either the link or the title which contains info "2021 directory"

I hope this issue can be pushed up the chain in priority. Adding back a save before you leave function even if not in the form of a checkmark.

Hi there. I wanted to switch my account from my current (A15) to my new device (A16), but the problem is I searched for the QR code option and it's not there at all. Is this an issue or i misplaced the option?

Why does my Firefox browser constantly deny access on my PC AND my smartphone to the web site newsmax.com? This is irritating. If I switch over to MS Edge or DuckgoDuck, I have no problem accessing this website. Is this something political? Should I change my web browser from Firefox that I have used for several years?

Please stop this irritating intervention.

Hi,

I'm quite annoyed about the new Android Firefox menu update. It takes up so much more space on the screen for not really adding any extra usability and the New Tab button is entirely gone in spite of there being plenty of space to have included it. Where did it go? I'd really prefer to have it back.

Regards, eliana

I use collections and it's frustrating that we can't sort the links added as well as the collections themselves. It would be perfect if we were able to sort collections.
