‘Firefox will not download files from most websites (including discover.com and chase.com). How can I get this done?’ for ‘Firefox for Android’

When I go to Settings > Set as default browser, it opens in the wrong settings page (app settings, which on this phone is separate from default apps). I have repeatedly set Firefox as the default browser under Default Apps, but I think the app can't recognise this as it can't complete the action from the Firefox app Settings.

I have a Huawai P10, I think it is Android 7.

If I can't get this to work I'm going to have to stop using Firefox as links default to open in Browser and it just gets muddled. Which is frustrating cos I just spent time getting it synced up with my laptop, and I like the desktop version!

Well, when the firefox on desktop asks for the 2FA code, I need to switch the display between the (android) firefox and the 2FA app, issue is when I am going back to the (android) firefox the screen is completely black - there is no way to click on the confirmation button... is this a friggin bug ?

The Autoplay Block Audio and Video setting no longer works with version 111.1.1. Since updating videos automatically play on sites including CNN.com and Reuters.com. There are no site exceptions in my browser settings.

Firefox seems to be unable to start in widowed or split screen mode on Huawei P40, EMUI 12. On EMUI 12, apps that support widowed mode are marked with a "window" button in the "recent apps" view. You can see in on screenshot in a yellow circle for Facebook app, but it is absent for Firefox. When I try switching to split screen mode, it shows a message, that Firefox is unable to be run in this mode (sorry, the message is in Japanese). Even if I try using an app Split Screen Shortcut, that seems to have it's own split screen function, separate from the EMUI one, Firefox still launches in fullscreen, and the Shortcut app returns an error.

The thing is, I tried Firefox on Samsung Galaxy A04s (presumably, Android 12?..), and it works without any problems.

It's it a bug and Firefox should support split screen and windowed mode, but doesn't, or does the app lack this support, but Samsung A04s's system just forces it to open in that mode itself?

If it's a bug, I would really appreciate it if you could fix it. This is literally the only downside (for me) this app has.

Dear support team,

I am experiencing a problem with one specific website, zerohedge.com. Whenever I use the back button to return from an article to the home page, the page appears completely blank, and I am forced to refresh it every time. This is happening on the Android version of Firefox, version 111.1.1 (Build #2015941331) with NoScript and PrivacyBadger add-ons installed.

I have not made any changes to the settings, and this problem has only started occurring about a week ago. I have never observed this behavior before.

I can no longer use Firefox as my search engine, when setting long-press hotkey functions in oxygen os (android 11).

I can choose firefox as the search engine and it is set to default browser. Setting the option to flash the screen edges when it activates, shows that it tries to open, when I long press the button. It just doesn't open

the function works if I set Googles search assistant to be the default search engine.

Is this due to an update?
