Why is it that when I type in part of an url in firefox search, for example "surf" when I'm wanting to visit r/surf, firefox suggests threads I viewed a single time rather than r/surf that I view multiple times per day?

You can see in chrome it behaves more like you would expect.

Sometimes plain r/surfing will be there but most of the time not, it's just random threads I viewed a single time.

There doesn't seem to be any combination of search settings that makes it suggest more frequently viewed sites

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox or Google Calendar issue.

Please see the attached screenshots, in order.

The issue is accessibility of the Settings icon in the top-right portion of the screen when the system text size is increased from the default.

Obviously, there's a workaround available. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

I've been noticing lately that when watching a video in landscape orientation fullscreen every now and then the screen rotates back to portrait orientation. Note that I do not touch the phone when this happens nor is there any bump or other even minor movement.

I also noticed that simply pausing and playing the video fixes this.

I have a short screen capture video but I can't attach videos to this.

Browser: Firefox 134.0.2 Website: Youtube.com

the box "ask to save passwords" under "passwords" under "privacy and security" keeps coming unchecked. What do I do to keep the box checked permanently...or at least until I decide to uncheck it?

When i want to send a page from chrome or whatever to the firefox app, i use the andorid share button, click the firefox logo.

However in firefox this lands on a "search.app" site. If this site was functional, the data leak would be slightly acceptable, but currently that site https://search.app/ arrives on a "This site has exceeded its monthly quota for bandwidth. It must be upgraded via the Firebase console before it can begin serving traffic again."

Can i share the android data more directly to the bar and just use that link or let the search application that is active in firefox figure it out?

Audio on videos played over bluetooth has regular skips and occasional severe stuttering. Sounds like a dirty record. Audio through phone's speaker not affected. It's not a device or connection problem, nor is it site specific. Stopping/restarting FF and clearing cache have no effect.
