Firefox til Android supportforum

bold textggle has buggered my homescreen amd my shortcuts that were therw ..just want it back. Not sites I visited last year. I DID NOT CHANGE IT GGLE FRKKS DID

I used "Add to Home screen." The icon that resulted is much more pixelated than the rest of the icons (see screen shot). Can I fix this? My phone is a Galaxy S22 running Firefox 103.1.0, One UI 4.1, and Android 12.

Hello,

With the latest update of Firefox on android, there is a change that I don't like that I can't seem to get around.

Previously in my home screen I could turn off all bookmarks, history etc and just have a select number of pinned pages visible when I open the home screen.

After the latesr update this is no longer possible. My pinned pages are still there but there is also all the history icons which I don't want to see.

Any thoughts on how to only show my pinned pages and not my history?

I also can't see how to pin an icon any more.

Thanks

Jon

I found that deleting an entry from a collection is WAY too easy. If you accidentally 'bump' swipe left OR right, or bump the X icon, it is instantly deleted. I don't know how many times I have done that, and often don't even remember what entry I ACCIDENTALLY deleted.

Is there any way to minimize the ways an entry is deleted, or enable some form of delete verification? If not, it needs to be added for a future update.

Hey I'm using FF for android (v103) I know I can set FF to open links in external apps or to open links in FF. The problem starts when I want to open some links in FF and some in the external app.

For example: I like the way YouTube is played in FF and want YouTube links to stay in FF, while messanger.com links don't work at all in FF and I want to open them in messanger app.

Can I configure this to happen automatically? Choose which links opened externally and which not?

Hello.

Every time I click on my shortcuts, a new tab opens.  Opened tabs accumulate during the day and cause the browser to slow down.

Is it possible for me to open shortcuts on the same page without opening different tabs?

For example: When I click on the twitter shortcut from the login page while on the Facebook page, is it possible to enter Twitter on the same page without opening a new tab?

Hello Mozilla,

I've seen this posted before, but no answers. I have Android 11, and recently, when I do a reboot, or power down the device entirely and power it back up, all the Installed Web Sites and "Add to my Home Screen" icons disappear.

I do have Firefox to remove all history upon exit, but that history should not include installed bookmarks and "Add to my Home Screen" options.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround other than switching off this setting? Is there a logged feature or bug request to handle this properly?

Thanks,

Larry

I originally was able to create the home page shortcut to Piped with Chrome, but the shortcut launched Chrome, even though Firefox is my default browser?

Piped [https://piped.kavin.rocks/https://pip.../|Piped]

So I deleted the shortcut. Now, Chrome no longer even offers me the option to "Add to Home Screen" from the Piped page, but it still does for other sites. Within Chrome, It now offers me the option to open the page in Firefox, even if I make Chrome the default browser.

How can I get a shortcut to Piped on my home page that will open in Firefox?

Apologies if this is the wrong area to post.

I was wondering if I could request that the Android firefox search widget could be customised to be transparent?

Otherwise, great job with the app!

I have set my Galaxy S22 to use dark mode in the evening. Firefox doesn't seem to realize that it has changed to dark mode. Right now I can choose follow device theme and it goes to light mode, even while the phone is in dark mode. Choosing dark mode makes it dark. Choosing follow device theme makes it light again.

I tried to toggle dark mode off and on in my phone while in the Firefox settings menu was open and now Firefox shows dark theme while follow device theme is selected. I think the same happened yesterday as well.

Maybe Firefox has trouble registering that the phone switches theme on a schedule.

Tell me when is Material You going to roll out on any of your android browsers. It's all about privacy, sure, that's why I value your app, but you're one of a few apps never updating with the theme on my pixel and for this reason I've stopped using your app until you update on of ANY of your mobile browsers (except for Focus) with this icon style. I need to know, when and which app (I don't care if it's beta, just tell me). Thanks.

I've been getting daily Yorkshire Post news items for a few months now and can't get rid of them. They're of no interest to me. Can someone help me to stop these notices please. Regards Brian

Hi there So the issue that I have (on Samsung S21 Ultra Android Firefox with integrated DuckDuckGo as search engine) is that I repeatedly press the back button after I finished with the website and Firefox would not go beyond (exit the browser) the homepage/homescreen. I love Firefox and added security, privacy and integration between devices but this homescreen thing is causing me enough irritation to make me move to another browser. So my question is are the a way for me to not have a homescreen? I have tried your help section and went through the options but no luck I also have turn everything off in homepage subsection but still no luck. I would like Firefox to work (in this instance) like other browsers which is if you continuously press the back button you will eventually exit the program/application (Chrome and Samsung Internet works like that)

Sincerely Jan

How do I set the Firefox home page on Android 12? I want to set it so that whenever I open Firefox or press the "home" icon in the upper left corner, it takes me directly to https://www.duckduckgo.com.
