Firefox za Android Community Forum

I foolishly upgraded to the latest Android mobile version. I like my bookmarks kept in the order I set them. Firefox, with the new version has decided they should be alphabetical once again. I have turned off this annoying behaviour in previous versions by disabling Compose Bookmarks in the secret settings. This option is no longer visible. How do I get my bookmarks back in the order want and stop firedox from screwing them up again?

What is this obsession the development team have with screwing up user bookmark organisation? This keeps coming back like a bad penny.

All of a sudden I am getting an "Invalid URL" error when trying to bookmark a website on Firefox mobile. I have tried pages with different extensions (.com, .org, .tv). I cleared the cache and restarted my phone. Did not work. I have the latest Firefox mobile 142.0.1 and a Samsung A25.

Is it possible to have navigation arrows <- and -> visible and not hidden under ... in the address field (like in Edge and Vivaldi) ?

Cheers Lars

Ever since the Fennec F-Droid 142 update, Fennec has trouble loading pages properly, even when you currently have Internet access. This happens when you try to access any page directly from the home page and from the status bar from within the app, and the page tries to connect but completely stalls with loading as a result. This issue is not affected by the in-app mini browser view that pops up when tapping a link in another app to preview in Fennec or when you have any other app open that uses the Android System WebView (or in most cases, any WebKit based browser, as it doesn't have to be the Android System WebView most the time for this bug to go away!) for loading content, which in fact this strange bug in Fennec will go away as a result.

This issue is only addressed in Fennec F-Droid 142 and does not affect any other forks of Firefox or even the proper upstream versions of Firefox where this issue does not occur. This issue only occurs every time after restarting your Android device, in fact the one that I'm using is a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

I have also reported this issue directly to Google engineers so that they know what might be going on. Given that I'm on a beta version of Android 16 (QPR2 beta 1), this is to be expected. Thank you all so much as hopefully someone at Mozilla will have a small patch ready for when Fennec 143 goes into testing pretty soon!

Edit: here's the relevant Issue page in Fennec's GitLab repository. Use this project if you want to cut out some of Mozilla's unwanted additions. https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

The download will stop and refuse to download and saw failed I can't monitor the download in the app only on the notification if ín clear it the download fails even without clearing it it will just stop at 46gb and refuse to download the rest 31.33mb refuse to download the rest it's not my network I'm a android user

Once upon a time Mozilla Firefox was a great little browser..No clanging bells and whistle and sirens that pestered one about all the great wonderful features, each one a must have. Page after page of 'look at all the meat things we added." And maybe, justcmaybe, we could get around to what we wanted to do and look up the next showtime. A simple Blue smiley button that also said "New!" somewhere up top, perhaps a little bigger than the others and blinking/winking😎every now oand then would do. When did Mozilla decide it was all about Mozilla, and not about the customer, and tell us so every update. You know, like Micro squash does?😒 ry now🙃

Collections bookmarks on the Firefox for Android homepage. I have Firefox sync. I have many regular bookmarks. Collections bookmarks from Android or obviously not available or synced with my Firefox for desktop. Are they synced or backed up at all anywhere? I cannot find them other than inside Collections. If I uninstall Firefox on my Android, Google Pixel phone and reinstall it will everything in the homepage collections be lost?
