Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für Android

When using Firefox on Android on a Xiaomi 15, it frequently freezes when coming back to the app and navigating.

Generally the page will go blank white and the missing bar will appear but not move. If you go to the change app android screen (square button), then the thumbnail shows a transparent region where the page content should be.

Closing the app from there and restarting it usually resolves it, but you will have to re-enter the address or search query.

I'm using Firefox on my Android phone (model: Samsung Galaxy, Android version 14), and whenever I watch YouTube videos, the playback is choppy and lags every few seconds, even on stable Wi-Fi. This happens on both embedded videos and directly on youtube.com. I've tried clearing cache, updating the app to the latest version, and disabling extensions, but it persists. Videos play smoothly on Chrome. Any fixes?

Hi developers, I'm running Firefox on an Android tablet and ran into an issue. When I enable the desktop version of the browser, accessing websites (like searching on Baidu) fails to load the desktop version. I compared Edge browser with Firefox and found through website UserAgent detection that when Edge runs desktop websites, it switches UserAgent to Linux, while Firefox maintains Android UserAgent for desktop sites. This causes some websites to ignore network requests and load mobile versions. To resolve this, we need to disable and re-enable desktop website access first, which may allow the site to respond to desktop requests.

Can I adjust the settings to switch to the desktop version of the website? I don't want to switch to another browser.

Why don't you allow me to sync by logging in, I log in, you gave me the second authentication (wooow security) to my mail, I copy and paste it and you proceed back to the login page saying incorrect password. great job at forcing to qr code, congratulations.

Can't play (listen to youtube) after locking phone anymore. Can't listen to youtube in a different tab anymore. And still can't load comments on videos except youtube shorts

"Hello Mozilla Team! I am Piyush. I use Firefox for 8 hours daily on my Zorin OS PC and Android. I have personally helped 18 people switch from Chrome to Firefox! I have set up 'Strict Tracking Protection' and 'Max DNS Protection' for all of them. I love how secure it is and I'm sharing my technical data to help you improve. Keep up the great work!"

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

I'm unable to share a link to a webpage via WhatsApp.

Triple dots > Share > select WhatsApp Receive error "Can't send empty message"

Copying to clipboard does work. Sharing with other apps (e.g., Bluesky or Element) does work.

I'm having an issue were any video on firefox i watch automatically pauses. sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes instantly.

I've tried restarting firefox and my chromebook, deleting cookies & cache and reinstalling firefox. but nothing helped. It seemed fine for a bit after restarting my chromebook but than it started happening again. Turning off adblock just causes it to pause the ads.

If anyone has an idea of what to do that would be great!

Hello!

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new tab 2. Start entering something into the search bar

Expected behavior: suggestions from the current search engine are displayed Actual result: only Firefox suggestions are displayed

Note: after tapping SE selection button and selecting a search engine (including the current one), the suggestions appear as expected

For the past few years I have encountered a bug on Android (Galaxy s22) that if I am using Google and within Google I open a page, it's fine. But when I click the back arrow it always jumps two pages back, when I click the forward button it is the same (as if Google is not in the short term history), so that I have to search again what I was searching for. This I have reported to the developers with no fix.

I have learned to work around this bug, but past few days the app is more glitchy than ever, so bad that I felt the need to switch to another app. (So far I have not encountered these problems in Nightly.) The app is now switching continuously between pages, between history and browsing in a normal manner is not possible anymore. If I open a website, the app switches to a page I was a few minutes before. After browsing for an hour with many irritations, I almost downloaded Chrome! Luckily I remembered Nightly, which I've used on an android tablet, because the normal app doesn't support a full desktop mode.

Pressing back button when browsing returns to earlier previous search instead of current search. Have tried to

Have tried:

chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml

Then search for: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

Mine was set to -1, I changed it to 0

But did not fix issue

My Firefox browser on Android is very slow. YouTube videos buffer and lag. Pages take a long time to load. Sometimes Firefox freezes or crashes. Please help me fix performance and video playback issues. My phone has limited RAM and storage
