Firefox na Android Community Forum

Where is the issue tracker for Firefox Nightly on Android? The last few updates have caused the keyboard to block the bottom part of webpages, making it impossible for me to see what I'm typing.

In the first loading the share menu would only show other firefox devices until a few seconds later other options appear. Closing the menu and reopening would not have this problem so I am unable to check if it's an Android problem

It's very frustrating to use Firefox as alternative to Chrome. It should be fast and reliable in browsing, which is fitting issues compared to chromium browsers like Chrome, Brave. Thanks.

Every so often (about 5 times a day?) when I tap the screen, Firefox initiates a page refresh as if I've swiped down from the top of the page. The refresh icon appears fully pulled down, and if I catch it before I release my finger, I can swipe back up to cancel the refresh. It seems to happen on some sites more than others, but I can't find a pattern or reproduce it reliably (maybe it happens more on sites that don't scroll down so the page is always at the top?). I managed to catch a video of it happening, but I don't see a place to upload it.

Firefox keep refreshing the webpage on my Poco M6 plus device whenever I minimize the app for even a second. I've received many android updates but this keep happening. I believe it is something has to be with HyperOS.

In the last few weeks I noticed weird things happening with the keyboard open. The problem is that my screen gets covered by massive grey bar, sometimes it leaves a tinly slit like in the first two screenshots, sometimes it's all grey and I can't see what I'm typing. Everything seems to work underneath because as soon as I hide the keyboard my text is there like nothing happened. Last screenshot shows the extra grey bar on the top of the screen that's not there in any other app but Firefox and it's probably related (it's the same grey that covers the entire screen when keyboard is on the display). One more thing I didn't catch on screenshot is the address bar - sometimes when I type what I want, press "go" keyboard goes down but the address bar doesn't, it stays in the middle leaving the infamous grey space below. All I need to do is tap on the address bar to show they keyboard, tap elsewhere and keyboard goes out, address bar goes down.

It happens only in Firefox for most webpages, never in any other app, it does happen in private tabs as well, with no addons. Everything is updated to their newest versions, I reintalled the app as well - no results. Am I the special one because I can't se anyone else complaining about it?

Ever since the Fennec F-Droid 142 update, Fennec has trouble loading pages properly, even when you currently have Internet access. This happens when you try to access any page directly from the home page and from the status bar from within the app, and the page tries to connect but completely stalls with loading as a result. This issue is not affected by the in-app mini browser view that pops up when tapping a link in another app to preview in Fennec or when you have any other app open that uses the Android System WebView (or in most cases, any WebKit based browser, as it doesn't have to be the Android System WebView most the time for this bug to go away!) for loading content, which in fact this strange bug in Fennec will go away as a result.

This issue is only addressed in Fennec F-Droid 142 and does not affect any other forks of Firefox or even the proper upstream versions of Firefox where this issue does not occur. This issue only occurs every time after restarting your Android device, in fact the one that I'm using is a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

I have also reported this issue directly to Google engineers so that they know what might be going on. Given that I'm on a beta version of Android 16 (QPR2 beta 1), this is to be expected. Thank you all so much as hopefully someone at Mozilla will have a small patch ready for when Fennec 143 goes into testing pretty soon!

Edit: here's the relevant Issue page in Fennec's GitLab repository. Use this project if you want to cut out some of Mozilla's unwanted additions. https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

My keyboard is often glitching out while I'm in the Firefox browser. This will happen when I'm trying to search on websites or in the search bar.

I've tried a few different keyboards and I've had this problem with Gboard(the one I want to use) and the built-in Samsung keyboard. It seems to work fine for the Microsoft's keyboard but I prefer not to use that one. I've recently updated both of theses apps but the issue persists. The screenshot is what I see when this happens; the area where the keyboard should be is solid black.

If I use the search bar that normally contains the URL, it works but I try to avoid this because using that bar seems to get stuck often on a blank screen(or take a while to load? Not sure what's happening there).

Is there a fix or workaround?

When I want to buy something and my bank want to check payment I change firefox for bank app but firefox automaticaly reload the page. Same problem if I want to sign in somewhere and need pause or copy something from another app. The firefox always teload page and I have to start again. ONLY one help is divided screen. But it is not solution.

I'm getting a box popup that prevents me from doing anything normal. Can't select a new link like normal, the refresh is there, but in a different spot. I'll try to add the screen shot in case someone recognizes what might have caused this.

Hello, I'm experiencing problems with the newest Firefox App for Android. Every time I minimalize the app and return back to Firefox pages keep autorefreshing. I have uBlock Origin instaled. I turned off battery saving for thr Firefox app.

Hi!

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://www.selfgem.com/en/products/tooth-gem-kits

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!

Full Blank screen when opening new tab or webpage Does this intermittently, at least once per day. Recovery is to clear all active apps from memory, then reopen Firefox; previouse tabs are present.

No relation to number of tabs open or number of other apps open.
This problem has persisted for at least 2 FF build updates.
 It is NOT A MEMORY ISSUE, I checked last failure

3.8gb in use out of 8gb!

Using Android 13. Firefox: 139.0.4 (Build #2016095887), hg-3825afc77e5b+ GV: 139.0.4-20250609112858 AS: 139

I have duck duck go set as my search engine on my galaxy S10+. At some point my Firefox browser updated and now every time I search something, or load any page within the search engine I get a forced web page refresh when trying to scroll down the results page or any page. If I hold my thumb down on the screen and slowly slide it upwards it backs off the refresh gesture and then everything works fine. I have switched search engines, so I know it's not the search page itself, and it only happens in Firefox. I do have 100 tabs backed up but I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and starting new but it doesn't matter. Firefox still forces a refresh when I try to scroll down. I've become so frustrated with this that I installed brave browser today to see if that browser did the same thing and it does not, so until I can get some help fixing this I will be switching to brave browser from here on out. Attached is an example after I searched the term "searching the web" it did not have an issue scrolling on the results page, but then I clicked on images and tried to scroll and as you can see it is trying to refresh the page.

I can't reproduce it, but sometimes the URL bar becomes unresponsive. You click on it and nothing appens. I've tried to delete cache and history, but nothing changes.
