Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für Android

If I'm on a website and let's say I'm reading an article and I'm midway, if I switch to another app momentarily for a few seconds (eg go to a messenger app to send a quick message) most of the time when I get back to Firefox it seems to reload the app and refreshes the page. This makes me lose my scroll position and progress. This doesn't happen on other browsers like Vivaldi,it feels like aggressive memory management. Please fix this if possible because I don't think it's my phone's issue , I have a Xiaomi 14 Ultra with 16gb of ram and Android 16 (latest hyper os 3.0.3)!

First of all, I hope this is the correct place for this feedback. The release announcement page seems to link here, but I'm not totally sure. If not, could you direct me to the correct location?

After I overcame the initial "hey, I didn't want that changed, put it back" phase, I have to say I really like the new design. Especially the overhang menu (the the vertical dots) is much better.

However, there are a few things, that could be improved, I believe.

1. Make the tabs list respect the URL bar top/bottom setting. That would be great for people like me, who regularly close all taps and usually have only 2-3.

1. The same goes for the tabs within the tabs list (private / synced buttons).

1. The buttons at the bottom of the tabs list (new tab and the vertical dots) feel visually unbalanced.

Thank you, and have a great evening.

PS: please also note that I'm quite confused on what version I'm on now. This page, the browser and the Playstore all say 147, but I have the changes mentioned in the 148 release notes. Is this one of the remote improvements mentioned by the release notes?

In the latest Firefox for android UI change (dear god, why) there appears to be a new toolbar shortcut. Is it possible to turn this shortcut off, so that the top toolbar only shows |address bar|all tabs|settings|, rather than |address bar|shortcut|all tabs|settings|

Ideally, Id like to go back to the old UI, but I have a feeling that that's not happening.

I prefer the desktop view. I know how to change it to desktop view. I would like to know if there is a way to set it to open in desktop instead of having to change it everytime I access the web.

Hi, my problem applies both to Firefox for Android (v147) and Firefox Nightly for Android (v149).

I have a relatively new phone and when I first installed and used both firefox apps, I had the notification that let you play/pause media that was playing, or tap the notification to open the tab playing said media. at some point I accidentally swiped away that notification on nightly, and now I can't figure out how to make it come back for either app.

I have notifications permission turned on, and in the notification categories submenu I have the "sound and video" and "media" options enabled. I can't find any other settings options that might affect it. I've force stopped the app and cleared the cache, hasn't helped. on my old phone (samsung s10e) if you accidentally did this it would just reappear next time you played media through firefox, but no such luck with this one (samsung s24).

where else should I be looking for settings that might be stopping the notification from appearing? I use nova launcher and have some of the goodlock apps installed - I couldn't find anything in either that seemed like it would do anything, but I could have missed something. or something in the phone settings?

Every since the new Android version came out in mid January, it's been annoying to browse.

Sometimes it takes several seconds to open, close, or switch tabs.

Overall it feels sluggish to scroll and view pages.

Using latest version 147.0.4.

Hi, I ve got notified of new update for Firefox, "Read aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader has an update". Does it just add AI voices to T2S in Reeder Mode? I want to know because I have personal dislike for newer AI LLM voices and use of AI in general.

Thank you and best regards

How do I revert the update that was forced onto my that changed the window where I view tabs of different pages? It has completely changed and it's frustrating and I do not understand it. I wanted to go back to the style it was. I am not very versed in technology and changes like this make things unusable for me.

A "dead" vertical space appears at the bottom of the viewport, pushing site navigation and sticky banners (like "Get started") upward. This occurs globally across different websites, not just one.
