Firefox za Android Community Forum

Firefox is consistently betraying its own free software communities by making changes without any consensus, advocating for politics, and putting ads aka "recommendations" and biased "news" in their browser which used to stand for user autonomy. I find firefox to be increasingly untrustworthy and the biggest proof is the addition of scoped permissions for plugins. you're clearly going to suppress adblock someday. it is as if this project as sold out to the mafia and is eroding to the likes of chrome and android. why are you trying me to use apple pay for example? firefox is a traitor and only relevent until someone comes along and breaks your monopoly.

Hello Team,

On Firefox for Android, YouTube always opens in desktop mode. Whenever I try to access 'm.youtube.com', Firefox automatically appends 'app=desktop' to the URL, also cat ope 'about:cofig'

I have already disabled the "Request desktop site" option, but the issue still persists. I also tried clearing cookies and cache, but that did not help. This is very frustrating.

Please let me know how I can fix this issue.

Thank you.

Dear Support Team,

The past few months there is a major issue occurring in Firefox for Android. Whenever, I switch apps or i.e. go to the home screen, all tabs I have opened in the browser get reloaded automatically without my input. Furthermore, I searched online about this problem and one user, named Zeyu Zhong, had previously submitted a review on Google Play explaining this issue. Could you examine this based on user feedback and my own attachments in this email?

Yours trully,

Ilias Kslr

I need help with fixing certs I beleive were changed by an application. I found some files in an application I installed through another without fully looking at the extra packaged material. One seems to be a configuration file for CA certs and the other is a list of SSL certs taken from Mozilla that were included with the intent of editing trusted user certs. I now see the evidence of a Linux device using my Firefox. To me, that is pretty clear evidence that Shell was used for some connection. So, with that, I'm assuming the certs on my device are not correct, and need to be fixed. Please let me know what I can do for this and if there is any other information you can give me on how to find out more about what to do. Unfortunately, there are also files that seem to also change user to a fake user while they gain root as guest. Any additional information including removing and replacing all certs wouldbe very helpful. Im trying to get to a certain point of restricting access and making a move to alert the correct people in Github and a couple of others with/towards some of the files before I do any kind of reset as I am not fully sure how tainted the restore might be.

A website has moved a while ago, but when I type in the first few letters, I still get the URL to the now defunct site suggested. I tried long-pressing the entry under "Firefox Suggest", but do not get any options to remove it.

Since the defunct URL starts with the same 10 or so characters as the new one, I always have to type a lot to get to the correct page. On the other hand, I use it to rarely to warrant a bookmark.

smb://u1:p1@192.168.7.2/11/22/file.mp4

This type of local smb/samba url not directly opening in external app anymore.

It was opening directly in external app last month.

Why not directly opening anymore?

It does open directly in external app inside chrome browser for Android.

Please fix this issue for Firefox for Android or atleast give option to enable this for a specific web address.

I'm not sure why certain websites (such as twitter or X The Everything App, and wplace) often don't load properly on the first attempt, forcing me to reopen them on a different tab and hopefully loading in this time (I usually have to open a tab once or twice). I think the websites somehow overshoot my phone's aspect ratio (I have an 18:9 phone), cause certain elements on twitter (X The Everything App) in the video player only show up while scrolling downwards, and it's generally only the elements on the lower parts of my screen that don't display properly.

Firefox on my wife's phone keeps randomly opening. How do I figure out what's causing this. First we noticed it happened when she plugs in an auxgzilery battery pack but then it's randomly opening anytime. What should I try to fix this. I thought I would remove and reinstall Firefox but I just figured the settings would remain as they are.

I can play a song but when it switches to next one it pauses it either at the beginning or just in the middle. When I lock my screen it pauses it instantly when unlocked it reloads the page every time Extensions used: ublock origin

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.

Hi team, i was trying to import the account from desktop to android, tryied to scan generated qr code, but the phone is not reacting at all. Please help.
