Dear Firefox Team,

I am writing to propose an enhancement for your iOS and Android, as well as desktop applications, that would greatly benefit users with visual impairments. It would also benefit anyone who is aware that they are in need of supplementary assistance in the absorption of information and knowledge, such as myself (for context; I am an adult with autism and ADHD). Specifically, I suggest adding an accessibility feature that provides verbal dictation of the text on the phone. This addition would significantly improve the experience for users with limited or no sight or potentially even other types of disabilities.

As a friendly neighborhood computer consultant, I recommend Firefox as the default browser to my friends and family because of its strong commitment to privacy. Additionally, a partnership with DuckDuckGo could further underscore your dedication to user privacy.

I appreciate your consideration of these suggestions and look forward to seeing your continued innovation and reaction to my notes. Enhancing accessibility features not only supports inclusivity but could also attract new users and potentially open up advertising opportunities. I am eager to share more ideas in the future and would be delighted to contribute to your mission in any way possible.

Best regards,

Seth Noreman [edited phone# from public community support forum]

P.S. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. I am also available to help create promotional materials or tutorial videos on how to use these accessibility features, leveraging my background in digital art and my unique perspective as an adult with autism.

Thank you for your time.

Hi. I recently opened Firefox for Android on my Samsung A53 phone to find the keyboard layout had changed. Please see image attached. I do not wish to use this layout. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this had no effect. I have also cleared the cache and deleted all data. None of these things have solved the issue. I would be very grateful if you could advise me how to use the Samsung system default keyboard with Firefox. Many thanks.

Whenever you're trying to use app everything is extremely enlarged and it will not let me scroll or zoom in and out to make a selection and when made a selection it does not load the nextbold text

I use the "Larger text" Display Zoom option on my iPhone. Until recently, the tab view in my Firefox app would show my open tabs arranged in two columns. But yesterday, it suddenly began showing my open tabs arranged in a single column, with each tab preview so large that it takes up half of my iPhone screen. So I can only preview a couple open tabs at a time, and I have to scroll through my open tabs vertically. This makes the tab view much less useful.

How can I change the tab view to once again arrange my open tabs in two columns instead of one while in iPhone's "Larger Text" Display Zoom mode? If I change it to the "Default" Display Zoom mode, then the tab previews are arranged in two columns as usual.

This has been going on for way to long.

Why can't I copy on so many web pages any more. I understand that SOME web pages are set up to not let you do so but that isn't very many. And, yes - I have followed the instructions and have the box in my setting checked.

I use to not have a problem coping from Google search but run into this problem more and more often.

If I go to EDGE I can copy without a problem.

And along these same lines, I have many etrade pages that will not load - no problem with same pages using EDGE.

I have used FF for years and years - I like it but it is getting to where if I have to keep going over to EDGE why not just use it to start with?

Take care - jb

Today, for no particular reason that I am aware of, Firefox has undocked my normal iOS full keyboard and started using a tiny little iPhone sized keyboard. How do I restore the normal default iPad keyboard?

I use a Xiaomi 14 Pro, and I experience this scrolling bug that is hard to describe in words so I will link to a video of the bug: https://youtu.be/HRzDgURdcoM?si=lGjBpWQBb8Gg-g8c

first half of the video is showing the bug on REGULAR firefox and the second half is to show that the bug exists on nightly too. How do i fix this? its REALLY getting to my nerves.

Hi, I am using an Android phone with a 6.4" screen. I find it difficult to type in the search bar when it is at the top. Can I bring my search bar to the middle of the mobile screen?

I have disabled navigation toolbar as soon as it was turned on, as it wastes a significant amount of screen height to expose controls I need rarely enough I prefer them in the menu. Suddenly, pull to refresh has stopped working, unless I go and turn navigation toolbar back on in secret settings, which is frustrating, as I need it more without navigation toolbar and might in theory need it less if I was inclined to use navigation toolbar. Screenshots of corresponding settings pages, but I can't show a gesture not working in a screenshot.

Hello, when I view certain emails in Android Firefox, they resize and get so small I cannot read them. Specifically emails from NYTimes and others. Is there a fix? Thx. John

Hello everyone, I don't know where it comes from (my screen or moz update), but I have a problem I didn't have before. When I open the tabs menu, the option to close a tab by sliding it laterally is way too sensitive. When I slide vertically to navigate, I very often close one of my tabs. Very annoying. I checked in the parameters if there was an option to deactivate that (Especially that there are crosses on each tabs to close them. The lateral sliding is pretty useless). Is there an option in about/config to deactivate that parameter please ? Thanks in advance.

At this point I'm ready to give up on Firefox, for two major reasons:

1. Bookmarks are cumbersome as hell to access. They're buried under multiple pointless levels... and that's after you pull up a giant menu and scroll to the top of it, another pointless level. It takes four taps (and some scrolling) just to start looking at your bookmarks.

2. Every time you return to Firefox mobile from another app, it creates a new tab... instead of showing you what you were looking at a minute ago. Were you looking at your boarding pass? Welp, you won't be now. Super fun while you're in the security line!

Or, were you checking a restaurant address online so you can text it to your friend? NOPE, says Firefox. You must want a new tab instead.

The new-tab problem has been complained about for years. What is going on?

I absolutely hate the new ui and there is no option to change it either

Also not showing full link in search bar is kinda stupid...not even a option to enable it either

Reported 2 bugs in bugzilla 1 year ago....no fix till now The countdown on website still doesn't work in background(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1848178)

Recently firefox for android mobile stopped allowing me to take screenshots. I get the error msg in the subject line when pressing the volume down and screen sleep/wake button. Is there a setting I can change?

Ever since updating mid June it seems the scrolling screenshot no longer works in the tabs list on the Firefox Android. Was there a settings change I need to make to allow that now?

I woke up and my Firefox address bar are in the bottom of my screen. I don't like it :( I'm on mobile, and especially with mobile sites there's so many features near the bottom, or something like the feature where you swipe down (from the top. because that is where the address bar is supposed to be) to refresh
