For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

When doing a search in the address bar (on firefox android), and then going back to the search result, one cannot modify easily the entered text.

Example: - In address bar (independent of the engine search) enter these keywords: "firefox search bar" - In the result list, click on any link. - Then go back to modify your search, you get:

https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=firefox%20search%20bar&p=1

Whish is a painful to change or just add an extra keyword!

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

Hi.

I suspect the problem is caused by Firefox's Gecko-based Android media stack.

Device:

Honor Magic V5 Snapdragon 8 Elite MagicOS 10.0.0.157

Software:

Firefox Android 152.0.6 uBlock Origin the only extension

Reproduction:

Open any YouTube video in Firefox. Play at 720p or higher. Pause/resume or seek. Audio and video begin intermittent stuttering. Switch to another app and return to Firefox and playback immediately returns to normal without reloading the site.

Comparison:

Chrome: works fine Vivaldi: works fine DuckDuckGo Browser: works fine

Things tested:

Hardware acceleration enabled. Battery optimization disabled. Performance mode enabled. Cache/history cleared. media.android-media-codec.preferred tested. gfx.webrender.software tested. AVC and VP9 both affected. Inner and outer displays affected. Desktop mode also affected. Firefox Nightly stutters even without seeking.

Recently (perhaps the last week) I've had an issue where playing a youtube video in fullscreen doesn't fill the screen, instead having significant letterboxing on sides and bottom, in addition to the small amount caused by 18:9 screen. Can't find setting to fix, tried reinstalling and using without account/extensions.

I am a web developer and I noticed that my svg's have a weird box outline around them when I use the mobile version of firefox. On my desktop everything looks fine and other mobile browsers also don't have these outlines. I think it could have something to do with the animation I put on them as I haven't encountered this issue with just static svg icons for example. Here is my simplified css code for the animation: @keyframes swing {

   0% {
       rotate: var(--_from);
   }
   50% {
       rotate: var(--_to);
   }
   100% {
       rotate: var(--_from);
   }

} svg {

   --_from: -8deg;
   --_to: -18deg;
   animation: swing 8s infinite;

}


Also I was asked to choose a topic for this question and none of them realy fit. Is there maybe a different place were I should rather report this problem?

Hello, I am using fire fox on a Nothing phone 4a Pro. Recently the page formatting has changed on YouTube. It wasn't originally like this... As you can see in the photos, when browsing through a channels videos it has them organized in a weird manner to where I cannot read video titles... The YouTube homepage has also changed. I think my app updated and then it automatically formatted YouTube this way. Firefox YouTube on my Samsung and iPhone are not having this problem.
