Firefox on my android phone (OnePlus Nord N200) won't load any web pages and there is a red line across the lock icon in the address. This is happening to any web page I try to open. I am not getting any error messages and the browser home screen shows my open tabs. When I click on them (or if I do a new search) all I get is a blank page and the address with the red line across the lock. No problem with Chrome, nor with Firefox on other mobile devices.

Android Mobile phone

Firefox rejects ALL service requests. Left on address line is a "human being symbol" with red backslash bar over it. How to recover?

(When problem appeared I have not touched any settings. Phone power off/on does not help.)

Every tab I open just shows a black screen—new tabs, old tabs, tabs I've hit refresh on... Uninstalling and reinstalling usually fixes it, but I've had to do this multiple times and I'm getting tired of having to resign-in to everything and reinstall any add-ons.

Enhanced Tracking Protection is "Standard" and the add-ons page won't load, so I have to go by memory and say I just have UBlock Origin.

No websites load anymore. Or rather, it doesn't try to load any websites. Any website or search term that I enter and the content display is just black. Close and reopen doesn't help. It's literally unusable since a week or more back. I might try resetting but I really shouldn't have to, and there is nothing to say this won't happen again.

See attachment, this is what every website looks like for me.

Here's s video showing the problem: https://streamable.com/5q8xt2

There's no indication of any website loading

Entering a new URL in the same tab isn't possible

I've tried force closing the app, deleting app data etc

The issue persists in incognito mode

Hi there,

About 10 days ago, firefox stopped working on my android phone.
When I open the app, I can type something in the opening window but then it never loads the http address.

Do I need to delete the app and start again? will it delete any of my data?

Thankyou for your help,

I can't get any sites to load in my Firefox app since the update to 114.2. I have cleared my cache, forced a stop, and done everything else that's ever worked in the past short of uninstalling and reinstalling. It looks like 114.2 was supposed to fix this issue in older versions, but I'm still having issues.

Hi All,

I really hope someone more clever than me can help me figure this one out as it is being a real deal breaker. I am a long time FFox user and for the longest time I have just dismissed this behaviour as a network issue or something not related to the browser itself. Every now and again, when typing in a new url, Firefox simply stalls and does not connect. It does not matter what URL it is and if I close that tab and open a new one (or reuse an already opened one). The browser stubbornly is stuck in "loading" mode but in fact it is doing nothing. Sometimes closing the session (by swiping the browser up off the screen)and reopening firefox works, sometimes not so much, however, every time if I open a private window, i can access the typed URL 100% of the time. This finding tells me without any doubt that the problem is with Firefox and I imagine there is a fairly simple explanation and fix as for a top browser that is simply not acceptable. My wanderings on reddit unfortunately did not yield any positive result with people just accepting it as "quirk". My ff is up to date (114.2.0) and is running on a Samsung s21.

Thanks so much for any way out of this madness.,

as subject, firefox is useless on my new Android 10 tablet now as it displays blank page for most sites, am using the lastest android version.

Posting this from my desktop computer.

The browser stopped working since last week. Before when i opened the browser, i can see it loading. But nowadays, the loading is gone and only black screen is left. I cannot even access add-on. Its just loading

Sometimes, Firefox 114.2.0 for Android suddenly stops rendering pages or loading new pages.

• Try to search: instantly stops loading, completely white tab, address bar content changes to search
• Try to enter an address directly: doesn’t load, completely white tab, address bar contents stay the same
• Force quitting and reloading doesn’t change anything
• Clearing cache doesn’t change anything
• Clearing data fixes the problem, at the cost of losing all home-screen customization, extensions, and search engine customization, which aren’t synced with the Firefox account

I use Firefox as my primary browser on my phone (OnePlus Nord 2) and have had serious issues for over the past week. The app does not load anything anymore. The home screen is the same but with a white, not orange, background, and when I go onto a new or even old tab, it does not load anything. The update released last week helped for a couple hours, then reverted to this problem. I have tried clearing cache, etc but not to avail.

I'm having trouble with Firefox on my mobile device. It was working fine yesterday but won't access the internet now. It runs but won't connect. All other programs on my device access it as always. Could I have unknowingly disabled it? I've made no changes to any of my settings for months. I don't want to lose the info it has acquired by reinstalling. Can you please help?

Firefox (latest version) on Android is not working. The app starts but searches don't load at all. It already happened once, reinstalled and it worked fine but I can't be forced to do it every time

Periodically, the following bug occurs on different phones. I also found it in complaints on google play and I will take the text from there (you do not give a solution to the problem), but I will provide my screenshots. This is not the first time this issue has occurred, on various phones in my family. "I tried using it again, and EVERY website I try to access doesn't load. It just shows a gray screen and the lock in the URL bar is in the "connection is not secure" graphic. I can't even access about :config because it's also just a gray screen.HOWEVER, every other browser on my phone works." It helps to solve problems only by completely deleting all firefox files and then setting it up from scratch. It is unpleasant. On screenshots: the endless loading of the add-ons section and the display of any site.

I don't know what's going on. All of the sudden, I just get a slash the the little "person" symbol to the far left of the search bar for every single tab and can't is the app at all, no matter what website I try to search. What is going on?

I'm on Android 11, Oxygen 11.0.13.BE.89BA

Whenever I open up Firefox and enter a website or a google search nothing happens.

No loading screen, no crash, just nothing.

Uninstalling it and reinstalling it works once, but then the second time I open Firefox I'm back to the same issue.

Google Chrome works just fine, and I'm not having any issues related to data or wifi.
