Firefox na Android Community Forum

Firefox for Android asks for some permissions that seems unnecessary. Why "request delete packages"? Firefox doesn't need to delete other apps, does it? While we are at it, out of curiosity, why "run foreground service with the type "specialUse""? I think Firefox developers should always minimize the use of permissions, since Firefox is focused on privacy and security.

Good morning. I am running Firefox Mobile v. 155.0 on Android 16. I am using the built in 50GB VPN. However when I close the browser as opposed to minimizing it so it is not running constantly when I again open it the VPN is now set to off and has to manually be turned on every time. I went into the app settings and allowed Firefox unrestricted usage and the app is allowed to run in the background. Neither method works and I am trying to see if anyone has any suggestions as far as settings of possible workarounds. Or if other users are having the same issue. I do not want to pay for the Firefox VPN and do not want to use another paid or free program, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

I notice a new permission in version 154 - Request Delete Packages. Firefox already has the permission Query All Packages, so this potentially allows Firefox to delete installed apps on my device. I would like to know why firefox is asking for the Request Delete Packages permission. I can't think of any reason why a browser would need this.

Hello, I am trying to access the camera on a website (Unstop Quizverse) using Firefox on my Android device, but the camera is not turning on / detected properly. I have checked the site permissions, but the camera prompt is still not working. Could you please guide me on how to enable/fix camera access permissions for websites in Firefox Mobile? Thank you!

I have an unswipable notifacation saying "microphone is on tap to open tab thats using your microphone" however, when i tap it it just opens the home screen for the app. i can not get it to go away even though i close the app completely, wipped catch for app, and denied all access to my microphone. This is a security concern for me, as well as a privacy concern.

Auf verschiedenen Seiten merkt Firefox sich nicht den Standort, obwohl in der Einstellungen der Seite der Zugriff auf den Standort erlaubt wurde. Dies wird auch unter Einstellungen/Datenschutz&Sicherheit/Standort so angezeigt, dass den Seiten, z.B. grindr und Romeo.com der Zugriff erlaubt wurde. Trotzdem popptt bei jedem neuen Besuch der Seiten das Fenster auf, mit der Abfrage, ob der Seite der Standortzugriff erlaubt sein soll. Woran liegt das? Wie ist das zu beheben? Danke schon jetzt für Antworten auf diese Fragen.

It says tap the padlock on menu bar to access site permissions. However there is no padlock, only a shield with checkmark saying that enhanced tracking is on. I want to verify something on Prolific but it keeps saying access denied. My device and site settings are set to allow and ask to allow respectively. I'm on a Redmi 9c. Please help

When I try to upload a file from my mobile device, the file doesn't appear. Uploads from Google Drive are displayed, but I can't select the file. I was able to upload images to this page. What could be the reason?

I need to allow docusign access to my camera in order to sign loan papers.

Recently I had reload Firefox on my phone. There is now button on the top right from Google asking me give them permission to use my mic, camera, etc. Considering Moz:lla's priority is privacy, why is Google allowed to do this?

Kind Regards TC

Hi there, I am facing a problem in some website while using Firefox Beta. When I allow access to my camera and microphone, then granting permission dialog box is shown again and again no matter how much I click in "Continue ".

In other browsers there is an option to always allow the full access to the microphone and camera so in those cases the problem won't happen. Can we adjust Firefox Beta so that it can allow a website to always access microphone and webcam without asking? Thank you in advance
