Firefox for Android Community Forum

Recently, whenever I open Firefox on my Android phone, the search box automatically gets focused and the keyboard pops up immediately. Previously, the keyboard would only appear after I tapped the search box manually. This change is disrupting my browsing experience. I would prefer the previous behavior where the keyboard only appeared on user interaction.

Please let me know if there's a way to disable this auto-focus behavior or if a setting can revert it.

Adding an image for reference.

I have an quite annoying( disturbing) issue related to your browser. The problem is that Firefox is stuck into Desktop mode.

Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9Fe ( SM-X516BEE). However I've never experienced it on previous versions ( below 120-30 something). My pervious version is: 138.0.2

Not only that all of my serach results are the same as on PC( since Android is LINUX based), bus also that many pages are opened as if they were on PC. But as well that the graphics is completly wierd.

However I have already Deactivated Desctop mode- but however it's still stuck in Desktop mode.

So my vonclution is that Samsung devices( Tablets) make it easy for itself and make it equal to LINUX/ UBUTNU.

So it also sems that all versions published on Google Play= to Desktop( PC/ LINUX). So please get rid of this annoying stuff and publish an regular mobile version.

Hello Gboard developers,

I'm a huge fan of Gboard and appreciate all its features, from the themes to glide typing. However, I've encountered a significant and frustrating bug that seems specific to using Gboard within the Firefox browser on my device.

The issue is that when typing in text input fields (including the search bar) in Firefox, Gboard will randomly delete previously typed words, particularly when I'm trying to edit or add to existing text.

Interestingly, Gboard functions perfectly as expected in all my other applications. This leads me to believe the problem might stem from an interaction between Gboard and Firefox itself. It's also worth noting that I haven't experienced this issue with other keyboard apps while using Firefox.

This bug is especially disruptive when typing in Thai, as it often breaks up words, rendering them nonsensical.

I'm hopeful that you can investigate this issue. Resolving it would make Gboard the absolute perfect keyboard for me, as this is the only obstacle I've encountered.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I visited a website once, not even typed it out, just got redirected, and now everytime i type a certain letter, it automatically fills to that website, and it's getting annoying, i tried clearing the cache and removing every mention of it in the history and it's cookies, but nothing

Hi,

Ever since I had to reset my phone's settings to troubleshoot another app, Firefox keeps dumping all of the thumbnails for my tabs seemingly every day now, even if I keep it open and give it unrestricted battery access.

This did not used to happen and is exceedingly frustrating.

I am a Samsung Galsfy a22. See attached image for my software details

As a note, I know this may sound hostile, but 'keep less tabs open' is not a welcome or helpful answer. When I tried to search this, that was the only 'answer' I saw given to some other user who had this issue years ago. As I said, this only happened after my settings got messed up, so I know something is off, as it used to work fine

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello, I recently created a mobile-friendly tool at https://www.eyecolorcalculator.com. It works fine on Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox for Android, the layout gets broken—some buttons don’t respond and font sizes become irregular.

I’ve used standard HTML/CSS and JavaScript. I also tried adding viewport meta tags and tested in responsive mode but still facing issues. Is there any known issue with Firefox rendering modern CSS on mobile? Or something specific I need to fix?

Thanks in advance.

Searching a term eg. 'Grand Canyon', then going back to search and adding a space or characters results in the last word (Canyon) getting auto erased. This happens when typing in Google's or DDG's search bar on Android, and only in incognito mode. I have faced this issue on Firefox, FF Beta, and forks such as Iceraven.

Hey everyone! I’ve been using Firefox on my Android device for a while, and while I love the speed and privacy features, I’ve noticed a few quirks, especially with certain websites. Have you all experienced anything similar or have tips to improve the browsing experience?

I also found a neat resource recently — https://ogwhat.com/ — which helps me discover new tools and communities related to tech and app discussions. It could be helpful for those of us trying to make the most of mobile browsers.

Any tips or things I might be missing about Firefox on Android?

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks
