Hello Firefox Support Team,

I am experiencing a UI/layout issue with Firefox for Android on my tablet.

Device information:

Device: iQOO Pad 5 Pro Operating system: OriginOS 6 HD Android version: Android 16 Firefox version: 153.0.3 Build: 2016176519

The problem is that the regular Firefox version does not use the proper tablet layout on my device. Instead, Firefox appears to use the smartphone/phone layout, even when the tablet is used in landscape orientation. The interface does not make proper use of the large tablet display and looks like the phone version stretched or displayed on a tablet.

The device itself is configured with a smallest width of 820 dp, so Android should clearly recognize it as a large-screen/tablet device.

Interestingly, Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 works correctly on exactly the same device. Nightly displays the proper tablet-optimized interface and makes appropriate use of the full screen.

Therefore, this appears to be a difference between the current stable Firefox release and Firefox Nightly rather than an OriginOS limitation.

Could you please check whether the tablet UI improvements/fix present in Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 are expected to be included in a future stable Firefox release, or whether there is a way to enable the same tablet layout in Firefox 153.0.3?

I can also provide screenshots showing the difference between Firefox Stable and Firefox Nightly on the same device if needed.

Thank you for your help.

I'm having a problem where I can't get the old menu UI back. I've done everything I could and turned off what I was supposed to to use the old menu for android but I woke up this morning and everything it back to the new UI. Everything is still turned off to make sure I was using the old menu where everything was to the right of the screen but it still won't come back up the way it's supposed to and now I don't really have a clue what to do?

1. The tabs list places the tabs extremely high up. 2. When using a single toolbar, please add an option to have no "shortcut" in the toolbar. Seeing what site I'm on becomes harder and harder every update, with random new things being added or the padding of existing items being expanded. 3. When using a single toolbar, opening the triple dot menu means I need to stretch my hand all the way to the top of the screen to open it, then all the way to the bottom of the screen to interact with the menu that it opens. This is absurd.

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.

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.

Hi Firefox Android team,

I know Firefox supports the Dark Reader extension, and it works. But I shouldn't need an extension for something this fundamental.

My request is simple: add a built-in force dark mode that applies to every single web page automatically — YouTube, Facebook, news sites, blogs, government pages — everything. No extension, no workaround, just one toggle in Settings that makes every website dark.

The problem with Dark Reader: - Pages visibly blink and flash before going dark - It slows down heavy websites noticeably - It's an extra install that most casual users never discover - It shouldn't be the user's job to find a fix for a missing core feature

Firefox for iOS already has a built-in Night Mode button in the menu. Android users deserve the same — and better. Make it automatic, make it system-wide, and make it respect AMOLED screens for true black backgrounds.

Microsoft Edge and Chrome already have experimental force dark mode. Firefox can do it cleaner, faster, and make it a proper setting instead of a hidden flag.

This is a basic comfort feature in 2026. Please make it happen natively.

Thank you.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

Several days ago when I wanted to open a new bookmark, I would click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and a drop down would appear, very easy to navigate. ,Now after tapping the 3 dots box appears at the bottom of the screen, aside from being new in appearance it doesn't seem to be very intuitive

As a dedicated user, I strongly request that you redesign the Firefox UI/UX to be exactly like Google Chrome. I urge your design team to take a close look at the Google Chrome Android application, as its interface is the gold standard for user experience. Currently, many users in our community feel that Firefox’s interface lacks the modern, intuitive, and perfectly polished feel that Chrome offers. We face several usability issues compared to the smooth experience Chrome provides. By adopting a layout, tab system, and overall aesthetic similar to Chrome, you would make the browser feel much more modern and efficient. This is a request echoed by a large number of users who want to stick with Firefox but find themselves missing the seamless interface of Chrome. We really hope you will consider this transformation to make Firefox feel as perfect and user-friendly as possible. Thank you for your hard work and for taking our feedback into account."

I used to constantly use Firefox on my Windows computer, but I no longer use it on my Android tablet. On Windows, I could easily access and click on my bookmarks, which were divided on the left side of the browser. This is missing on Android, and I think it's a major drawback. It made things easier and allowed faster access to the sites saved in my bookmarks. I kindly request that experts bring that ease of use to Android as well. Otherwise, I won't be able to use the Firefox browser anymore.

I have set my phone to switch between light and dark mode on schedule. Everytime it does so, Firefox doesn't theme refresh correctly. Usually, the search bar will be on the old theme and I'll need to close Firefox as an active app and restart it to refresh correctly. This also means websites looking for theme refresh signals from the browser do not pick it up correctly and thus the browsing experience is visually jarring. This issue has been around for more than a year. Reinstalling Firefox hasn't helped. This is a bug in the browser code and can be reproduced on my Android tablet as well.

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

Recently, the android app was changed internally that, ie. settings are no longer accessible through a sidebar menu but from the bottom up (?). Now, the entire tab view has changed - the tiled tab preview shows tabs as way longer tiles (which is incredibly inconvenient) and the layout at the top for accessing normal tabs, private tabs and synced tabs has entirely changed, too. But none of the guides I have found online to disable this change through settings (and secret settings) worked to set this change back. Is there any other way to change it back at all?

The new UI makes the tabs too long, blocky, and annoying to use/traverse on mobile, it takes me nearly double the time to scroll through my tabs than it used to. I would really appreciate a way to revert this as it is making my experience unpleasant and I am genuinely considering switching to a new browser because of it.
