Firefox za Android Community Forum

I'm a 68 yr. old tech dummy. I want to change my search engine and I also need to find the address bar in order to do this.

Thank You for your help, time, and patience!

Hi. So I've been having this issue where, I search something in google, it searches what I asked it to. Then I search again and it finds what I asked it to. The third time if I search again it'll go back to the first thing I tried to search as if i just pressed BACK twice. Something similar happens if I search for something, and then if I search the second thing and tap on the website and then press BACK, it'll go back to the first Google result I ssearched. It's been a few weeks this has been happening and the only thing that'll TEMPORARILY fix it is if I close firefox. If you need any more information I'd be happy to help you help me. Thank you!

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

Put back the menu bar!!!!!!!!! Who ever thought it was a good idea to remove it should be fired immediately. Firefox far less user friendly and useful and far less better than other browsers without it!!!! Errol Simpson

My emails were hacked by the person who I escaped domestic violence from. My Google account was linked across devices and he accessed my linked device and had access to everything. I have changed browser and my email to Outlook. I DO NOT want anything here to be linked to my Google account!!!

I beg you, just add an option to revert. Why, why are you even doing the redesign?? I would happily use your browser forever anyway, please, add an option to revert! I really don't want to move to Chrome, but the new design is so hideous I can't stand it

Please stop fixing things that aren't broken! I just installed the new version of Firefox for Android and I hate having tabs strewn across the the top of the screen. Many of them are personal and private and I want them hidden from view. The previous version of fox for Android work just fine for me, this one doesn't. Is it possible to remove them from you?

I have an Amazon Fire HD (12th gen) and want to use Global Privacy Control. Firefox appeared to be the best option, and I like using Firefox.

I'm instructed to install using Google Play. Went through various error messages on Google (eg, no linked Google account). But I do have a Google account linked to my Fire, through a gmail account.

Finally, Google informed me I cannot download from Google Play to a Fire Device. (I had already allowed Silk to install unknown apps, in Settings.)

The Amazon app store doesn't have Firefox.

What can I do, ideally to install Firefox, but minimally, to use Global Privacy Control on my Fire?

Many thanks.

Hi ! Is there a way to remove the small microphone present in a address bar of Firefox on Android ? I keep clicking on it by mistake, and it result in a small sound, then I have to wait that the mike activated itself before being able to go back (and there is another small sound). I looked into the settings, but did not find a way to deactivate it... Thanks :)

Добрый день(или другое время суток)! Я столкнулся с такой проблемой, когда захотел изменить темы на телефонной версии firefox на более красивые, заметил что данная функция ещё не сделана. Планируется ли создание такой персонализации как на ПК? Если вы не планируете заниматься этим обновлением то пожалуйста напишите, чтобы я его не ждал. Благодарю за понимание!

Many of the changes in the newest Firefox for mobile are an improvement, but one thing that really isn't is the location of the share button. I use this feature more than any other.

It used to be that I could press and hold to select the tabs I wished to share and the share button would pop right up. Now, the menu contains a bookmark icon (star) and a bin. Meanwhile the share button is hidden under the dot menu, even though there's more than enough room for it in the header bar, even with the star and bin.

If there is currently no way to customize the quick-access icons, I encourage developers to consider making the share button more prevalent or allowing users to customize quick access, in future.

I use Firefox instead of apps for everything. And do often have 5-10 tabs open. Phone: poco x7 pro 8GB Android: 16 This problem is not present in my older phone.(Android 13) It clears the tabs, whenever Firefox is sent to the background. That means all the tabs have to be reloaded. That means battery consumption, data consumption, delay, losing my place in videos ( I watch YouTube on Firefox too) . I am willing to do anything short of rooting the phone.
