Firefox für Android-Hilfeforum

Until recently (sorry, I don't know which version I upgraded from), entering fullscreen mode when playing back video (such as YouTube) would automatically force landscape mode, even with auto-rotation disabled. Now, there seems to be no way for me to enter landscape mode while playing back a video, without enabling auto-rotation (which I otherwise always keep disabled).

I realize that the desired behavior here can be subjective, but at least it would be nice if there is/would be a way of configuring this behavior?

I'm on Android 13 (Oxygen OS 13 on OnePlus Nord 2T), with Firefox version 112.2.0 (release April 24 on the play store).

please i am Begging you let me put the forward/backward buttons on the search bar why do i have to open a separate menu to do this

ability to Choose what gestures do (for example, swiping on the search bar in either direction to navigate history rather than tabs) would also be acceptable, if slightly less convenient (as i suspect something like that would only allow moving forward/back one page at a time, as opposed to simply press-and-holding to pull up all your options to jump to)

i am losing my mind a little bit here i don't understand why it has to be so roundabout

Until recently (sorry, I don't know which version I upgraded from), it was possible to let media play the background with Firefox for Android. Media would show up on the lock screen and could be played/paused from there when open in the browser. Now, I have found no way of playing media from Firefox without having the window in focus.

I'm wondering if this was an Android change or a Firefox change that broke Android detecting media playing in Firefox, and whether this is/was intended, a known issue, or a bug?

Hey there,

As the title suggests, I'm having an issue with the navigation bar. It remains at the bottom of the screen even when I have the least need for it, which makes the content of the screen glitchy. It may not sound like much, but it's very annoying and ruins the whole browsing experience, especially when watching videos. Because of the unwanted navigation bar, even a slight touch on the screen causes the videos or pages, but mostly videos, to move around left and right when in landscape mode. As you can see in one of the screenshots I sent, the video is not even visible, it's just a black screen, which is a different issue that I faced for the first time but I am not sure how often I'll get that in future but it's there.

If anyone can suggest a fix for this issue,(the one with the navigation bar and jumpy video screen) such as a setting that I can turn on or off to get rid of the navigation bar, it would be greatly appreciated.

Although New Build Claims -- Fixed the problem that caused full screen YouTube videos to exit and switch to portrait mode when changing quality or speed. But issue still persist screen doesn't rotate to Landscape mode in full screen mode. It stays in portrait mode with caption below entering in Full Screen. Works Flawlessly in Firefox Nightly

How do I synch Collections between all my mobile android devices? [I'm not using desktop now.] I have different Collections on each of my 2 tablets and my mobile phone. I would like to aggregate them unless there's a limit to how many Collections are allowed on a device's Firefox Homepage. thx!

Hello. The issue is this: (1) I am unable to download pdfs via firefox(android), though the pdf file opens up in the browser itself instead of 'directly' being downloaded in the system. (2) Somehow you can still download the pdf by going to the menu and then to share option, and from thence you can select "save pdf" option– Your pdf is downloaded. Yet, if you open it in your system via any pdf veiwer app whatsoever, it would not open as it shows "decoding error". Kindly resolve this issue with immediate effect.

All sorts of video on my Firefox Android is unable to play, as in they load indefinitely, only show the initial frame and never play. Nothing happens when I tap the play button. The progress bar on videos does move, so it's likely not a connection issue. It's not only on YouTube, any video and stream on any website has the same issue. I have enabled autoplay, deleted cookies, disabled add-ons but nothing helps.

I'm on version 112.2.0 and I cannot disable the "feature" that haphazardly shoves my history in to groups that have nothing to do with each other but Firefox THINKS are related. The support post I've found discussing this promised there'd be a "disable search groups" option in version 97, but I'm on version 112.2.0, which (for those of you counting) is 5 mainline iterations afterwards. How do I fix this? It's constantly breaking my History.

Hello,

I created an account in Firefox with my old e-mail; nyayesh_abdollahi@fripost.org.

However, I have since deleted that e-mail and also forgotten the login password for that Firefox-account; therefore, I can't login to it albeit it exists.

I'm not sure how this works but I do believe the best way to resolve the matter is through the deletion of the aforementioned account.

Kindly, Nyayesh Abdollahi

Where is the option to Print from Samsung Android browser

Even if I want to print to pdf I can't do it. This is annoying. Please add this feature back to the menu items list

hello, ive had my Firefox account for YEARS. i got a new device, and installed firefox on the new device. i logged into to new device, told it to sync my old data over, and instead, i think it removed all my old data. my passwords are still saved, but my bookmarks, my collections for tabs are gone, and i cant seem to get them back. this was done across my 4 devices. how can i backdate, or find an old backup to revive?

So, new phone and FF upgraded, now when I download there is no indication that my file is actually downloading, either on the phone status bar or in FF downloads. Is there somewhere I should be looking to see if a file is "currently" downloading?

Had a persistent issue where firefox wont display a video inside the bounds of the player For example the attached images show the same video on firefox and opera. opera shows the entire video where as firefox only shows the top left hand corner This has been an issue since the fix for youtube videos having the opposite issue was release Firefox for Android v112.1.0 Android v10

Add the Play background option to videos and audio, pre-installed in settings, as it is in the Brave browser. The current Background Video Playback add-on does not fully play all video and audio background playback features, it does not fully work. I have submitted an option request in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827371
