Hi,

am using a Chromebook with FireFox. It is a large screen. By default FireFox open site in Mobile display. Is there a FireFox setting to open all sites in Desktop display? Could it be possible to add a setting in FireFox to open all site in Desktop format by default?

Thanks

I dont trust dark reader so in firefox desktop i use settings override the colors specified by the page with your selections above to Always, for me is enough, every site is dark and doesnt slow anything, but the real question is how to change or should i say force every site to dark in firefox nightly android, of course in nightly we have about:config available so is hope to do that without extensions but i dont know which line will do the right job? I found something like “browser.display.background_color” but where will be option to activate override the colors like in desktop? Thank you so much as always.

I used "Add to Home screen." The icon that resulted is much more pixelated than the rest of the icons (see screen shot). Can I fix this? My phone is a Galaxy S22 running Firefox 103.1.0, One UI 4.1, and Android 12.

Hello, chromebook user here. I dont know if i count as android or not but still i have a problem. Just today i switched from chrome to firefox, and i realized i cant customize wallpapers! I have searched up every possible tutorial on here and youtube and on firefox itself. Hopings devs can solve this

Hello! Thank you for your help! I want to install my personalized version of startpage as the common search engine on my android mobile.

This is my personalized search string: https://www.startpage.com/do/mypage.pl?prfe=88c786572599bb1107d3c74eaec3b3ca5076330f9b0ee54884a22b7a784d2b0a689bbc9b7a89edd7438b53c487ee2e4e628759948e78c9e03a2a82c5107f459c595a56be6ab8c7def9ac63f6

But it is not possible!

On the mozilla helppage it says (translated from german): https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/suchmaschinen-verwalten-firefox-android#w_hinzufugen-einer-zusatzlichen-vordefinierten-suchmaschine

"If the entered Internet address (URL) of the search string is invalid, an error message is displayed to help you enter a valid Internet address. Important: Make sure that you replace the search string with the placeholder "%s", for example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?q=%s https://search.brave.com/search?q=%s https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=%s

But as you can see, in my personalized search string there is no placeholder! What to do to install nevertheless my personalized version of the startpage search string as the common search engine on my android mobile?

Thank´s a lot

I don't understand why Firefox Android was designed so that the UI's dark theme also gets automatically thrust upon websites without user consent?

Dark theme for the UI and dark conversion for websites are supposed to be two *different* features. It baffles my mind that they were merged together like this, rather than just add an extra toggle for the user.

I know that there's an option to un-toggle the websites going dark in the about:config menu. But the Firefox stable release has actually disabled access to about:config as well!?

So what are we left to do? Just forever use the Beta/Nightly versions if we want any customizability over our favorite browser?

Why even disable about:config in the stable release in the first place, generally speaking? Chrome doesn't disable access to it in their stable release versions. Who's brilliant idea was it to make this change?!

Phone: Oneplus 8 Android version: 12 Build number: IN2015_11_C.21 Firefox version: 105.1.0

Steps to reproduce: - Open Firefox - Go to a website - Click the triple vertical dots - Add to home screen - Press add - Press add

This bug is still here and ruining the PWA that I made and wanted to install on my phone. The app isn't on the home screen or any of the other screens, but attempts to add it again fail with the message "This shortcut already exists".

How do I remove these invisible shortcuts? Can I do this through the file explorer? If not, can this be fixed?

Also please let me know if a video reproducing this issue would be helpful. I can reliably reproduce it every time.

When I use Firefox on my iphone, and I leave it open to open a different app, when I return to Firefox the web page has been hidden and it offers the option for me to "jump back in" all of 10-20 seconds later! This is especially annoying when I'm making a donation through Paypal or another option that uses secondary verification. First I'm on the website for the organization I'm donating to. I leave that page to open Paypal, Then I return to Firefox to see the website I just left open, I have to"jump back in" & re-select the Organization's page, Then Paypal wants to send a verification code, so I do that, which involves going to my notifications, & Then I go back to the Organization's page finish the donation, but Firefox has hidden the page AGAIN. So to finish the donation I have to once again re-select the web page from "jump back in". It's Not Fun. ieeaah!

I've deselected to not have any shortcuts on my homepage from my history & they're still popping up. I only want the short cuts I save. I either have to delete them one by one or clear my history (which I might need sometimes) to get rid of them. It's annoying me enough to not want to use Firefox. I want a neat home page without any clutter.
