Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für Android

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.

Last night my bookmarks didnt work suddenly. I tried a lot with no results. While typing internet works. I uninstalled it and installed it again. This morning i realised that most of my boomark have gone. Really headache as i have too many important website.

Heya, I'm having trouble getting my microphone to work in Firefox on android. I'm using a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Android 16, One UI 8) and tried both the regular version of Firefox and Nightly, the latter being my regular one, 'cause the UI is just better on a tablet. The regular one was a fresh install, so the issue shouldn't be corrupt cache or anything like that. I've given the app the Microphone permission in the android settings, it also asks for microphone permissions when using any site that requests it, but when I check site-specific permissions via the lil shield icon, there's no microphone. It's like Firefox thinks I have no mic at all. Not the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed bluetooth headset I'm using, nor the tab's own. When disconnecting the headset, it still won't find the tab's own mic. Any other app works just fine, though, and webcam also works. I tried a few matrix clients, discord web, some webrtc and mic test sites... Seems to be Firefox, not specific sites nor android in general.

Anyone got any clue what might be going on there?

After much searching and guesswork, I've finally worked out that the "cross in a box" icon on the Firefox android search bar is to allow qr codes to be scanned. Maybe you could add a tool-tip for these more obscure icons?

Using FF for android, 148.0.1. How can I return from any page directly to the home page so I can see my collections and choose another site? The home button seems to be gone.

I have a Mozilla Firefox login with hundreds of bookmarks, I've been saving for years. With the recent update, I was logged out. I tried to log back in with my saved password and email. The information I have is correct. The problem lies in the fact that I created that login & pass with a University email. After graduating,the ending of the email address was changed to @alumni.edu sort of thing. So now it's trying to send me a security code to login and I cannot receive it because of this change to the email address, thus I cannot get logged back into my firefox to retrieve my bookmarks. Please help.
