I am trying to set the home page on my Samsung S21 with android v13 and firefox v117. I cannot find any means for setting the home page. The customize homepage in the top (3 button) menu has no option for setting a different home page.

The homepage option under settings gives you exactly the same options as above.

The customize option under settings applies only to the theme and has no options for managing the home page.

Unfortunately every version of firefox is different and all the instructions I have found apply to different versions of firefox than the one I am using.

how do I disable the media control for Firefox on Android?

Every time I open a video and Firefox the stupid media control opens on my phone and plays the video or music or whatever I clicked on in the background for eternity unless I pause it, but then after a few minutes it just starts playing on its own again. Why is there no option to disable or close the stupid player?

I close Firefox I end the process but yet the stupid sound keeps coming out of my phone even with the screen off all the apps closed.

The only option I have is to hide the media control which then plays the music with absolutely no way for me to stop it. If I click on settings from that window it brings me to a screen where both options are already disabled saying not to use it but it's still opening anyways.

I can only find remedies for Windows or Mac I have not come across any solution for Android. I basically have to restart my phone every time this happens in order to get it to stop.

Is there a way to have Firefox respond/be the default for the Google Assistant instead of Chrome?

Are there any other voiced activated assistants that can do this?

Can I use Bixby like Google Assistant, and have these things done.

I would also like all home page shortcuts to open Firefox. even those that were placed there by Chrome.

Why does Firefox purposely choose to alienate their Android users by not allowing them to choose their own home screen. The Firefox web browser on Windows does.

As much as I distrust Google as a company and avoid using their products (as much as convenietly possible), I am very comfortable using their search engine and comfortable seeing a Google homepage with the Google search bar.

Firefox doesn't even give me the courtesy to: 1) know or understand which search engine I am using when I am on the "forced" Firefox homepage, or 2) set my own homepage. Therefore, I have to ensure the cursor is in the "search/web address" bar, start typing "google", and hit enter in order to get to the familiar Google homepage of which I am comfortable. I hate that Firefox forces me to do that!

Otherwise, I like using the Firefox browser as an alternative to Google. Nonetheless, it's your company and you can do what you like, but as soon as I come across an alternative browser that allows me to adjust it's settings to my preferences, it's adios MFr's to Firefox.

FYI, I would LOVE to meet the decision maker at Mozilla that OK'd this change and listen to him/her/they hem, haw and double-speak through their ridiculous justification. Another thing, while I'm at it.... Exactly, when did it become a better idea for companies (challenging the industry leader) to alienate their users?

I am currently trying to customize the Firefox browser for Android and have encountered a hurdle. Specifically, I want to change the 'permissions.default.image' setting according to the host of the website being visited.

I have searched through the source code, but I'm unable to locate where this preference is being modified, which is adding to my difficulties. I'm uncertain about the next steps to take.

Could anyone please guide me on how to implement this functionality, or direct me towards relevant resources or documentation that could help me? Any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards

I've already attempted to implement this in the GeckoEngineSession in the override fun onLoadRequest method, as that's where the host is loaded. Unfortunately, I haven't had any success with this approach.
