Firefox Browser on Android, 106.1.0.

Datalist options do not show at all.

On Windows, although there is no downward arrow like in other browsers, the options do come up when I click into the input field.

On Android, nothing.

How can I resolve the issue of my website not displaying properly on Mozilla Firefox browser, specifically with regards to the layout and formatting? Are there any specific CSS or HTML codes that need to be modified to ensure compatibility with Firefox, and are there any known compatibility issues between Firefox and certain web development frameworks or libraries that I should be aware of?

I am unable to use Firefox on Android as no webpages load when I have Adguard enabled on my phone. Adguard is an ad block that works using a local VPN. It works well with all other Android browsers except Firefox. I hope there'll be some solution to this issue.

I'm getting a black screen while trying to view VR videos from Firefox Mobile.

I've tried VR videos from Chrome Mobile and it works fine there. It also works fine on Firefox Desktop.

So, only Firefox Mobile is having issues with VR videos for some reason.

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.

Firefox on Kindle Fire HD 8 will not let me sign in

Hello, I recently changed my password for my Firefox account and now I was unable to enter my new password to log in. I logged out of my account to see if it would work, but to no avail, and now I am signed out completely with the all my attempts to sign back in resulting in a forever-loading page.

Installing another version of Firefox does not work, as it tries to redirect me to the Google Play Store (which Amazon devices do not support). The method I tried to use is in the following link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-android-nightly. If this is the way to do so, would I have to uninstall my current version of Firefox?

Thank you.

Firefox Android autofill with external app

I use an external password manager on my Android phone - Nextcloud Passwords. It works with Google Chrome, Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo, and other browsers. However, the main Firefox browser does not allow me to use the autofill feature with this manager app. Here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. On a page with a username/password field, select one of the fields (give it focus)
  2. The soft-keyboard appears and an "Autofill" popup appears (good!)
  3. Pressing on the "Autofill" popup opens my password manager (good)
  4. Selecting the password to fill in the manager app returns me to the page
  5. Another popup should appear with the name of the site password selected in the manager app, and it looks like it does briefly, but another "Autofill" popup appears immediately. No username/password is filled.

This results in an endless loop of pressing the "Autofill" popup, selecting the password in the manager app, then the "Autofill" popup appears again.

System Information: Samsung Galaxy S22 Android 13 Kernel version 5.10.136 Build number TP1A.220624.014.S901U1UEU3CWGI Firefox Android version 117.1.0

Firefox sideloaded to Nvidia Shield - Controller doesn't work! (It works fine on Vivaldi)

Hello All, For some unknown reason, the browsers available on Play Store for Nvidia Shield are crap - so far I've not found any that allow me to easily sync bookmarks etc between Shield/PC/Mobile.

I therefore tested and found Opera and Vivaldi sideloaded to my Nvidia Shield TV Pro both worked perfectly.

I wanted to use test Firefox as I was about to use this as my main preferred PC/mobile browser, but first I wanted to check it all worked OK.

I was able to sideload and set up Firefox, but as soon as I open a webpage the Controller stopped working.

How can this be fixed please?

Please don't suggest a browser that's intended for AndroidTV on the Shield Play Store - they are all crap due to the reasons I mentioned, the controller with Right Joysick acting as mouse pounter works perfectly on Opera and Vivaldi, so I don't understand why this it doesn't work on Firefox.

I hope this can be fixed/resolved as I would like to use Firefox as an alternative.

Thanks and regards!

After the latest update to firefox on android, the Openweb discussion function is missing from at least 3 websites that work on other browsers.

Thedrive.com Twz.com and Newsweek.com

All the above use Openweb discussion function on their websites but firefox does not show them at all.

I checked using Samsung internet browser and the discussions are visible, unlike firefox.

I use ublock extension along with ghostery and privacy badger, but diisabling them or complete removal does not make the discussions visible.

I have deleted the firefox and reinstalled it after the update but the problem persists.

If I want to see the discussions on the thedrive.com or twz.com, I have to use the Samsung internet browser for that.

Could use a fix so I don't have to jump between two browsers.

I suddenly lost the login info for the Montreal Gazette app on my tablet last week. I was no longer able to login to Montreal Gazette website, which controls the login on the app.

I restarted the tablet, opened the app, and tried to login. The website just sat there and nothing happened. I tried to login to the website alone and was not able to login.

I contacted App Support and they asked me to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Same problem!

Just in case it was a Firefox issue, I tried Chrome. I was able to login to the website!

In order to use their app, I am going to have to change my default Android Browser to Chrome, something I am not at all happy about!

Any ideas on why FF doesn't allow me to login?

Thanks very much,

John

Hello guys !!

Is there any way to copy comments from YouTube on Firefox for android ?? The long press doesn't do anything.

It works on chrome and on edge, so this isn't a limitation from the YouTube. Obviously it works on desktop, but I don't know why doesn't work on android.
