Firefox na Android Community Forum

The previously opaque/white search widget suddenly became transparent and disappears into my home screen. I didn't enable this, but I can't find the setting to make it opaque/white again.

Searched for "widget," "search," "transparen" in about:config, toggled various settings, nothing worked. Looked in secret settings, nothing.

Really bad implementation decision: don't change user's existing UI just because you, or other users, like it and think it's a good idea. Opt in, not opt out.

Hi Mozilla Support, I’m running into a recurring issue on Firefox for Android when watching videos. Whenever I have a video playing in one tab (HLS or DASH streams) and I switch to another tab for a few seconds, returning to the original tab causes Firefox to freeze or reload the page entirely.

What I’ve observed:

The video player freezes or shows a black screen when I return to the tab

Sometimes the tab reloads on its own and the video restarts from the beginning

Happens on both Wi-Fi and mobile data

Tested with multiple streaming sites, including our own (https://xupertvhd.co) app’s web player

Clearing cache and disabling add-ons didn’t resolve it

Using the latest version of Firefox for Android

I’m trying to understand:

Is this a known issue with Firefox’s background tab behavior or media playback engine?

Is there any setting that prevents Firefox from suspending or unloading media tabs?

Would enabling “desktop mode” or changing the media hardware acceleration setting help?

I can share logs or specific URLs if needed. Thanks!

Hi there,

Firefox desktop and Fennec Android are syncing everything perfectly, including tabs from Fennec in Firefeox, except for when I try to view tabs from Firefox in Fennec I get the message: "You don't have any tabs open in Fennec on your other devices".

I have tried to figure out what's causing this and have searched for answers but I can't figure it out. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please. Appologoes if this is something obvious I've just missed.

Many thanks,

Hi When I enter an IP address from my network, Firefox does not connect to my network but instead tries to look up this IP address on the internet. For example, when I enter: 192.168.xxx.yyy/ or http://192.168.xxx.yyy

How can I access my local network?

Bonjour, j'ai suivi la procédure pour synchroniser mon firefox sur pc et mon firefox sur mon android, pour avoir mes marques pages sur mon android. Je suis bien connectée à mon compte modzilla sur mon pc et mon android. Sur mon pc, j'ai bien récupéré les marques pages de mon android. Par contre sur mon android, je n'ai pas récupéré les marques pages de mon pc... Pouvez vous m'aider s'il-vous-plaît ? Merci

I dont know if it's an issue with a recent update but everytime I open Firefox I get a popup asking me "What do you think about Firefox?"

It consistently happens when I close the app, open it again, and attempt to create a new tab.

Unlike other apps firefox does not stay on. I make notes from websites and firefox is virtually useless on my android tablet.there is no good solution for this other than to set my screen time out to never and changing it back afterwards as it affects other apps also. Extension like caffine does not work on android.

When I click on YouTube comments to read them Firefox mobile pops up a blank window. Works fine if I switch to desktop mode. Android Version 16. Tried reinstalling Firefox. Cleared cache and cookies. Nothing so far has worked.

I have tried logging out and logging back in on my android firefox. accounts.firefox.com shows it is logged in, yet I do not see my firefox on android listed in my "Tabs from other devices"/"Synced tabs", in fact, I do not see any other device tabs listed. On my android firefox, it shows that I am logged in, yet the checkmarks for choosing what I want to sync are all disabled, the sync now button can be clicked but does nothing. I have tried logging out, forced stopping firefox app, and restarting android, nothing worked.

I get this message when I email to people on Yahoo, comast.net and others. MAILER-DAEMON <postmaster@earthlink-vadesecure.net> yesterday

Hello, I have a reproducible issue on Firefox Beta for Android on my POCO X6 Pro 5G running HyperOS / Android 15.

When tapping mailto: or tel: links in Firefox, nothing happens. No app opens and no chooser dialog is shown.

The same links work correctly in Google Chrome, so the Phone/Dialer and Email apps are properly registered with the system.

This appears to be related to Bug 1988946, but it also affects Android 15 on HyperOS.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox Beta on a POCO/Xiaomi device running HyperOS.

2. Visit any webpage containing a tel: or mailto: link.

3. Tap the link.

---

Actual Result

No action is triggered.

No Intent Resolver popup appears.

No dialer or email app is launched.

---

Expected Result

tel: links should open the default Phone app.

mailto: links should open the user’s email app.

If multiple apps are available, Android should show a chooser dialog.

Device Information

Device: POCO X6 Pro 5G

OS: HyperOS, Android 15

Firefox version: Firefox Beta 146.0b4

Build: #2016126791

GV: 146.0-20251117130030

AS: 146.0.1

Build date: 2025-11-17T13:00:30

What I have already tried

Enabled “Open links in apps” in Firefox

Reset Firefox default preferences

Reset Phone (Dialer) defaults

Granted all special permissions (background activity, pop-ups, etc.)

Tested Firefox Stable and Beta

Cleared app cache/data

Rebooted device

Verified that Chrome opens tel: and mailto: links correctly on the same device

---

Additional notes

In HyperOS settings (“Opening links”), Firefox does not receive supported link types.

The Phone app does not appear in “Opening links”, but it works fine with Chrome.

This suggests a compatibility issue between Firefox’s intent handling and Xiaomi/POCO HyperOS on Android 15.

---

Conclusion

This issue is reproducible 100% of the time and affects basic link handling functionality. I am available to provide logs or run additional tests if needed.

Thank you!

Firefox updated on my Samsung Galaxy A11 this morning and now it crashes every time I try to open a web page. I have tried deleting/clearing the cache, but this didn't make any difference. It sends a crash report. Latest Sirocco link is crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/c23c689c-0beb-4a82-873e-0fd850251120

No doubt this has been asked before but I haven't found an answer, apologies! Just got a new phone. I have well over 100 tabs open on Firefox on my old phone and want to move them over to the new one if that's possible. The phones are synced but alas that doesn't do it. Is there a way to transfer all those tabs over to the new phone without copying every single Web address the hard way?

Hello,

I am currently on the latest version of Firefox Beta for Android, version 146.0b4.

For some time now (6+ months), this installation of beta fails to sync my bookmarks from or to Mozilla's servers. I've verified that desktop Firefox and Firefox stable on Android will still sync.

It took me some time to notice this was the case, and at first I hoped it would resolve itself, but it hasn't. I have many newer bookmarks on this installation of the browser, and if I reinstalled in an attempt to fix this issue, I would lose these bookmarks.

How can I keep my newer bookmarks on mobile, while also fixing the sync functionality? There doesn't seem to be a way to backup bookmarks on Android other than sync, which isn't working.

Other sync data aside from bookmarks is still syncing fine. I tried signing out of Firefox on all devices, then signing back in, but that didn't resolve the issue.

Recently Firefox information text has appeared mauve. It appears on Bookmarks - Add, on the address field as highlighting, and the panel which pops up when I click on a link has a pale mauve background.

I haven't changed anything in settings. I have recently added my own screensaver, which has colours which might be related to this. I have tried changing settings to get rid of it and tried removing the screensaver with a long-press on the background, then "Wallpaper and Style" which shows screensavers etc, but there is no option to remove it. Those things are related to Android rather than Firefox, but no other applications have this problem.

I'm on Android 12, Firefox 145.0
