Firefox for Android Community Forum

For laptop and mobile, All open tabs between all synced devices, are all just in a list right when you click on or press on Firefox.. also, just have all the devices current history listed under that..and, AND... Can I take it one step farther and have them listed on all the New tabs when I click the new tab cross? Basically making "Firefox View" the homepage for all devices, I was gonna just create a shortcut webut when I click on "FV" no link comes up... Also possibly a "copy and paste clipboard" option across devices. Thanks in advance for any time this could save me and others in the future... also, This question seems logical that's it's may been asked a hundred dozen times before already, but I did search my summary

Okay FIREFOX, update 2/29/2026

1) making complaints to this browser is a nightmare, you guys need to actually do something about making it easier to contact actual support.

2) Firstly, this latest UI update is literally a scam. If you're going to make such a change after years of the same UI being around, users should be well aware of that before the update rolls in.

Secondly, this menu UI should have been an opt-in/out service, NOT DEFAULT. Users should have the option to not use a feature that is actively hostile to a MOBILE experience. That means less button pushing required to speedily access saved content. The current way this menu pops up puts nonsense on top before the actually important parts, namely bookmarks access.

3) bookmarks (specifically CREATING BOOKMARKS). While normal bookmarks access looks the same, creating them is a monster in this app.

This newest iteration sucks, to put it frankly. Where before, the process was simply running down the list to choose the right folder (all those folders & subfolders were already extended), now it requires us to extend and extend and extend and extend. In what world did you guys think this was useful for a mobile phone? Mobile does not lend itself to multiple presses, that's by design.

You guys are making this app look more and more like desktop, and that's a bad design and worse feature for mobile experiences.

Please either update this UI to allow for the legacy design (opt-in/out), or change it back entirely. Right now this app is trudging downwards to an experience people do not want to use.

Attached are screenshots of the current 3dot menu drop-down and the creation/editing of bookmarks. Too much noise for what was actually useful design on the legacy UI.

The android version of firefox has a problem the displays a bar asking to download an open pdf whether the pdf is already downloaded or not. There's no option to turn off this bar that ends up blocking a lot of screen space. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for looking into this.

Hello, I changed the app icon and now I have two 2 Firefox icons (default + retro 2024) and there's no way to remove either except by uninstall, I tried other icons and the same issue persists... As far as I know when an app has the option it's the original app icon that changes instead of creating another one so, is this intended or a bug? I'm on A11 if that helps.

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

I've used Firefox a long time on different platforms, bookmarks get duplicated, irrelevant and numerous for the same websites.

When I try to rationalize them the workflow does not allow me to easily bin the superfluous ones without opening the site and then only removes the title not the web address.

The computer work flow is much better but as mobiles are now more frequently used as main devices, would it not be sensible to change this behaviour for a better workflow?

When I am using the android Firefox browser to watch YouTube, it is fine when browsing and finding a video. I will click on a video just fine, and start watching it no problem. The issue occurs when I switch tabs or switch apps to do something else and return later. Once I return to the YouTube tab even if the video is not or was never in full screen, Firefox will then be forced into landscape orientation. This persists between tabs until I either restart the app or do a Google search.

I found a potential solution in these forums. In about:config there should be a setting called media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation. I tried this, but there is no such setting there for me. I'm at a loss for what to do now.

Hello, And sorry for my bad English. I use Firefox for more than 20 years on my computer and for years on my smartphone. But since few months, there's a "bug" on Android: When I launch Firefox or launch again after be back to another app, the page is black screen and need few seconds (15-20-30s) before load. And, sometime, the page reload with the same time but delete all information that I've enter before, that is very problematic wheel there's a formular in the page. It's really unuseful and very annoying. Have you a solution for that? Thank in advance for your help. Have a good day :) PS: it's very annoying because all the time we ask you a question or problem, you said it's not you or or another service of your company... I'm really a fan of Firefox, Thunderbird and donator to mozilla company ; but, really, it's annoying that you ignore the problem and bug of your app, and finally don't solve it because you ignore them...

Although Firefox for Android has support for PWA websites in general,I see that it doesn't detect all pwa websites and creates a simple shortcut instead! For example go to mytuner-radio.com and try to install it as a Pwa, it just creates a shortcut!

If you try this on other browsers like Vivaldi for Android, it installs it as an app, without the need to open the whole browser alongside all the tabs,every time you tap on its icon !

Please fix this and make all sites that support pwa detectable !

My android phone just recently updated my firefox version to 148 (this happened today, February 27, 2026).

Since this happened, I can no longer properly manage my bookmarks. Let me describe in more detail:

I have multiple sub-folders that I use to organize my bookmarks by topic. Previously, when I edited a bookmark, I could move it into one of these sub-folders by navigating to the sub folder on the bookmark editing page. Normal, expected behavior.

• Now* when I try to edit a bookmark, only the top-level "Bookmarks" folder is visible; if I try to expand that folder with the > carat icon, nothing happens. I only have the option to make *new* subfolders, not to navigate to subfolders that already exist.

To be clear: - I can find all my previously existing bookmark subfolders when I want to *open* a bookmark. - The problem is only when I want to *move* a bookmark into one of these existing subfolders. - When I edit a bookmark, I see the > carat icon that normally would expand the Bookmarks top-level folder, but that icon does not function. Therefore I cannot actually select any of my existing folders to move the bookmark into.

Can this function be restored to the normal behavior a.s.a.p.?

I'm attaching two screenshots to show that I have subfolders, but that I cannot access them when I edit a bookmark (pressing the expand button does nothing)

Thank you.

I have a suggestion and a problem. First, regarding the problem, I use a tablet with a mouse and cannot scroll through tabs using the mouse scroll wheel or tap with the mouse. Second, I have a suggestion regarding the top bar, which I think should be resizable, because on my tablet with a landscape layout, the top bar takes up too much space, especially now that there are browser tabs at the top.

I've started watching YouTube through my browser and I've begun to notice that it'll automatically change the settings on the site to block autoplay of audio and video, which stops background play.

I have the setting set to allow autoplay audio and video.

I notice it when I switch from the tab and it'll stop playing so I go to the page specific settings and it's switched to block.

How are they doing this? And what can I do to stop it from doing this?

I know it could be Samsung pass that's not optimised for firefox but it seems to be working fine on other apps.

Hence my question; Why isn't firefox not optimised for Samsung pass?

Na huawei pura 70 pro działa dużo wolniej od samsunga a56 . wczytywania stron Dodam ze dla innych przeglądarek nie ma tego problemu np opera pracę edge szybkość działania jest porównywalna

Fx 148.0 Galaxy A14 5G

Unable to view the subfolders in the bookmarks folder when I add or edit bookmarks:

three vertical dot icon > bookmark page > edit > bookmarks > tap on ">" next to "bookmarks" to view the subfolders

This problem started happening after the latest update.

The 148 version hides most of the options previously available from the menu option. Sometimes I can access the options through an option to "show more" Mostly the " show more " is not present. I then lose access to options I use a lot: print to pdf, translate etc etc I have tried both the expanded and simple toolbars. (The expanded reverts to simple every time I quit Firefox anyway).

How can I solve this? Is there a way to go back to the much better older menu version? So much quicker and cleaner.

Thanks
