Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für Android

Since the last update (as of the 8th of April 2025) on the android version of the app, the browser seems unable to play videos in the picture in picture feature. The screen will get minimized, yes, but wherein before the minimization was the video still playing in small, now it is like a chopped version of the webpage. Posted a screen recording vid on tumblr to exemplify because screenshots alone don't do it justice. PiP Issue demonstrated

Technical Info:

• My phone is a Samsung A53 5g

Facebook has started scrolling down instead of up when typing a comment on the past month or so. Turning off adblock seens to temporarily fix it, but the it starts doing it again and turning ON adblock then seems to fix it and then it goes bad yet again.

Erasing cookies made no difference. This only happens in Android Mobile Firefox, not desktop Firefox. It only started happening in the past month or so.

Chrome does not have this issue at all, but then Chrome can't use Adblock or UBlock Origin either so it's a poor experience either way.

I'm on the nightly build of Firefox for Android below:

139.0a1 (Build #2016084319), hg-1ac598af5141+ GV: 139.0a1-20250410092904 AS: 139.20250409050339

When downloading an image by tapping and holding on it for the context options, and selecting "save image," it downloads the image straight to the default download directory rather than asking which download manager I'd like to use. Is there a way to fix this?

Side note: The only reason I'm using a download manager in the first place is because I want to change Firefox's download directory from /storage/emulated/0/Download to something else - ideally in a quick and convenient way. All other methods I've seen to do this are like 10 years old and require changing about:config, and don't seem to work anymore.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810514 This issue being open for 2 years+ and still the issue not being fixed is absolutely laughable Considering many videos i see on YouTube about a day in a life of software developer.. they do absolutely nothing.. 90% time they eating, playing and sleeping.. 10% time checking emails or laptop(please dont take it for a software developer who works hard everyday) That's it thats what you guys get paid for ? thats why firefox is firefox.. their dev team is absolute trash at addressing issues fast or at a acceptable time.. i guess thats how most tech companies are and its the new norm

When I open Firefox, I get a supposed News site. Where is this information from? It smells of MSNBC or other MSM. Wherever you get it, is it changeable to a neutral news site or, if not, can it be deleted totally?

Hey new developement team you might as well remove and redo the entire support section. Tons of features, places we are pointed to-go to, options and whatever else were completely removed or moved to entirely different areas before the precovid developers were able to change it themselves upon being let go. Some spots the support points to more advanced features that the browser itself doesn't actually have anymore, because regressing 2015-1998 features somehow saves money? Removing features and functions that are up to 20+ yrs old seems like more work than just leaving them but what do I know... But the information on here is almost 5 yrs old now and desperately needs a complete rehaul. I don't know how many of ya they brought back but might want to play some catch up on one of the most important sections. I see tons of posts everywhere of people giving up and going to Brave or whatever instead because of this alone. Just as with a book, movie, whatever the beginning just as important as the end when it comes to capturing attention and sales..... Regards from every currently overly frustrated user that's also sick of/dealing with Windows (esp Win11) and Googles nonstop bombardment of bs.

I was using Firefox Stable, but whenever I browsed web pages outside, I changed to Nightly due to excessive packet usage caused by prefetching, and turned off all settings regarding auto-connect in about:config. One thing that is questionable is that unlike Stable, it does not properly support 120Hz refresh rate.

It seemed to stutter whenever I scrolled through web pages, so I changed the settings related to refresh rate in about:config, but nothing changed. (Instead, the UFO Test shows up to 90-100FPS.)
