Firefox til Android Community Forum

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Rednote 10 pro mobile phone. I have been a longstanding user of Firefox on numerous devices.

However I am having real difficulties on my phone when switching away from the app and returning (for example to check a code for MFA). I have checked battery settings (unrestricted), background autostart (enabled). I've tried locking the app in the recent processes list, in developer settings "don't keep activities" is off and background processes is set to standard limit.

Even with only 1 other app in memory every time I activate another app and return the page reloads and I lose what I was doing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have the most recent update.

Other browsers on my phone such as Chrome do not exhibit this behaviour - when I switch apps and back again the page in the browser is retained.

Is this a known fault with this type of phone? Am I doing something obviously wrong? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

There's an issue with Android Firefox where a tab sometimes just suddenly freezes and there's nothing I can do to unfreeze it. I cleared cache, restarted the app, refreshes the page and nothing works. The only thing I can do is to copy the link, close the tab, and open the link on a new tab.

First, I press fullscreen mode on any video on the firefox browser. Second, when I enter fullscreen mode the pop-up that notiifes me that I entered fullscreen mode appears but it takes multiple minutes to disappear.

When I leave FF and open it again after some time I would get a black screen and the app would not show the content on the current page or query a new search for several seconds which gets annoying when doing multitasking

I have a poco X7 pro if that matters

For some reason, opening the tab list on Firefox and Firefox Beta on Android takes 4+ seconds and it's very annoying.

This is on a completely fresh install of Firefox with literally no changes or tabs. It doesn't matter how many tabs I have. It takes about the same amount of time with 0 tabs or 100. This didn't use to happen with Firefox versions from over a year ago. There's something about the new method that caused this for me.

I'm on Android 10 on a Galaxy Note 9. Nothing else (meaningful) running in the background or anything.

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

When i am trying to copy the link or share the webpage to somewhere in my android(samsung). It got stuck not like working, but it did not copy or open then sharing window instantly it takes time to open the sharing window or link to copy, it have to send firefox to background and when I came to it then it do my work, so it is so messy so I have to go for other browser most of the time.

My keyboard is stucking while searching on firefox , even after pressing enter it doesn't goes i had tried with floating keyboard it doesn't stucked, also tried with another keyboard and address bar at bottom it doesn't get worked, please solve this problem or i would shift to another browser

The new video and background feature for the Android phones where the little icon comes up in the top seems to be using up an enormous amount of memory because when I try to switch between things I can't it just delays so long I try to shut it off and it won't shut off right away it takes like 2-3 minutes unless I go in and manually Force shut it something you need to look into the future

When I switch to another app on my phone for 30-40 seconds, the tab that I had open decides that it should refresh. This is super annoying when trying to fill out a form and the information you get from another appz and the form reloads and all the info is gone

I do not know is this from my os or no, but this is an issue that breaks my experience almost all the time, and I am not the only one experiencing it.

When accessing only specific web pages, the screen freezes during loading. Backing, refresh, etc., are not working at all. The only way is to close the tab. I'm curious about the solution.

While on a webpage, changing to a different app on mobile sometimes causes the whole browser to bug, blanking out the page and refusing to load. Sometimes when this happens, waiting a while will allow the page to load, but often i have to clear cache for it to work.

I am using Firefox version 151.0.2 on android version 16, but I have been having this issue for months, since before 151.0.1. In some fillable fields on some sites, words duplicate as I type and/or the cursor jumps into the middle of a word. This is most frequently triggered by backspacing but can also happen when using numbers or symbols, such as when filling in a date with slashes or dashes. I've also witnessed it happen seemingly randomly.

Some situations in which this has occurred: -the tag field when creating or reblogging a post on the browser version of tumblr -the birth date field on my state's DMV website when trying to renew my car registration -multiple billing fields when trying to enter card information on a ticket vending site -this text box, the one I'm typing in right now to report this issue. Backspacing and using these dashes for this list both triggered the bug during the course of writing this up.

This has gone from merely irritating to actually being an obstacle (in the DMV example I could not get the field to accept any date format without duplicating and had to use the little popup calendar to select the day instead. What if that had not been a option?). My phone says both its software and Firefox are up to date. What else can I do?

As i have described beforehand, the app glitches when too much memory is occupied. I have to manually clear cache and force stop the app to contine using it. If sth can be done to optimize the app better, would very much appreciate it. Other than that, love the app and the services it provides. Please do fix it. Thank you

switching windows in and out Firefox android seem to reload the open page, this sometimes means significant waiting time and in case of scrolling pages the loss of your last position

Using the home screen search widget with the composable toolbar enabled(which can't be disabled anymore) on LG G8 causes the keyboard to open as usual but will not dismiss with the button or completing a search where it will attempt to dismiss but fail halfway through animation and block part of the screen.

Reproduce-able with these steps on LG G8: 1 Close Firefox 2 Open search widget from home screen 3 search something in url bar 4 Press Enter 5 Go to homepage, screen off, take a screenshot, or click on another text input box to make keyboard go down, sometimes with glitchy animation.

Not sure the exact cause but it also happens when browsing normally, i think its when a website loads and opens keyboard on its own.

Doesn't seem to happen on Samsung A16

当把Firefox置于后台一段时间，甚至是很少的一段时间后，就需要重新加载页面，这个加载过程很慢，通常需要几秒至几十秒，大多数时候都在十几秒。 这对于一个移动端浏览器来说是严重性能影响，因为很多时候可能只是随手搜索一些东西，打开或加载过慢尤其影响使用感受。 像其他浏览器，比如我正在使用的其他浏览器Edge或X浏览器，基本上可以无论何时点开直接使用。
