Any text selected in Firefox for Android on a Samsung Tablet has the "Ask Gemini" option with no way to turn it off.

This only appears on Firefox, does not happen on the same tablet in DuckDuckGo, Google Play Store, Fossify Notes App, Wikipeida app. Only in Firefox on Samsung. (Does not appear on Firefox on Sony phone).

Gemini is not installed on the Samsung Tablet, and ALL of the possible AI settings, assistants and apps are disabled, turned off or opted out of in both the Samaung Settings, the Google Account, the Mozzilla Account and the Firefox browser settings. There is no active assistant running on the device and Gemini is not even an installed app.

As this is ONLY ever appearing in Firefox for Android on the tablet and absolutely no other apps without Gemini even being installed and actively being blocked from running makes me think this is a bug specific to Firefox.

Screenshots included as this shows it the different apps listed and that this menu is different per app as some have their own context items, which again supports this being a potential bug specific to Firefox.

How can this be sucessfully reported, removed, turned off or customised to stop the accidental activation of an AI Assistant from Firefox when selecting text? (Either as text already on a page or text that has been typed into a form or doc via the web.)

Hello!

I have the "Block AI Features" setting enabled, but I'm still getting the "Ask Gemini" option in the long-hold context menu for Firefox Mobile on Android.

Is there any way to remove this option? It's cluttering the context menu and I dont want to misclick it. Or otherwise, is this a known and tracked issue?

I really don't like the "swipe right to go back" function on the mobile browser: I always trigger it by mistake and reload a previous page when I don't intend to. It's especially bad when reading webcomics, as I have to zoom in and move aroud a lot on the page, and if I hit the left edge a bit too fast I get sent to the previous web page.

I dug around a bit in the settings but couldn't find the option to disable this function, so if you could add it (or explain where to find it if it's already there) I'd be most grateful.

P.S. Please don't ever add AI slop to Firefox, I beg of you

I'm looking for a solution to open links in progressive web apps in full firefox: in a new page, with a usable address bar, and the link being one of the tabs in firefox mobile. I know you can tap the three dots and then "open in firefox" but i hate the two extra gestures every single time.

While typing on any site, my keyboard doesn't automatically capitalize letters after punctuation and at most times the beginning of sentences. It is functional on other apps and my normal settings are enabled. As shown in the image, nothing is capitalizing on any sites.

Suggestions

1. A lightweight and customizable version:

  · The ability to permanently remove Pocket.
  · Disable sponsored ads and recommendations on the home page.
  · Please avoid automatically adding suggested extensions, and keep only the Add-ons button.

2. Built-in free features:

  · A free, unlimited VPN.
  · A built-in AI assistant.
  · A built-in video player.
  · An integrated download manager.

3. An alternative to monthly subscriptions:

  Since most users do not have access to international payment methods, we kindly suggest an optional support model:
  · A “Buy me a coffee” button.
  · Cryptocurrency donations.
  · Voluntary support: those who are able to support may do so, and those who cannot may continue using it for free.

Thank you for considering these suggestions.

On my Android samsung phone, I often need to switch from Firefox app to Aquamail app and then back to Firefox app .

The reason is to read the code sent to confirm identity (for MFA)

The concern is when I'm back to Firefox app, it refreshes the Firefox page and ... the browsed website send again another code in a new mail... This loop prevents me definitively the connection to the browsed website!

(Unless I have a separate PC to read mails without leaving Firefox app on my phone).

It happens for about 75% of the websites I need. And is probably linked to the manner the different websites are written.

I precise than I accepted cookies from all these websites ( hotels, regular buying, electric car loading, etc).

What can I do on Firefox options or on Android options to avoid the concern, which is really a blocking point  ?

Thanks for any help. Ulysse

If I close a page which is at the bottom, the pop–up notification will prevent me from closing following pages at the bottom. To wait it to dissappear or to move it horizontally out (which takes a rather long distance for fingers, hope you can allow users to customize the distance) are inconvenient.
