Hello!

I have the "Block AI Features" setting enabled, but I'm still getting the "Ask Gemini" option in the long-hold context menu for Firefox Mobile on Android.

Is there any way to remove this option? It's cluttering the context menu and I dont want to misclick it. Or otherwise, is this a known and tracked issue?

Many of us are switching from Google and Google related products search engines browsers etc . Can you please give us more search engine options other than what you have on offer in the drop down box. All of not most are all Google related or owned. Cheers

How can I set up a VPN on my Android phone

Moderator note: This question has been moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

I'd like to try out the built-in VPN, but can't find it. I've seen many older posts about this, but nothing recent. It's now August of 2026.

I'm using Firefox 154.0.1 on Android 16. I'm in the United States.

I'm logged into my browser with my Firefox account. I know it's working as I can open browser tabs between my mobile device and other devices using my account.

I'm not seeing the built-in VPN feature.

"VPN" does not appear in Settings as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mobile-android-vpn

By comparison, attached is a screenshot of what I have in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Any guidance?

Hi I have a couple of http only pages behind a VPN in a private network. When using Firefox for Android and entering the address, either with "http://" or no prefix, Firefox is not able to connect and instantly switches to "https://" mode. "HTTPS Only" mode is not activated, DNS-Over-TLS is also deactivated.

The page can be opened when using the IP address.

In private mode Firefox opens the page as expected.

All other apps on Android do not show this behaviour, i.e. Chrome for example opens the pages fine as expected.

With Firefox on Linux, it works fine.

How can I make sure that Firefox openes the HTTP page and not switch to HTTPS.

About:config is disabled in Firefox on Android so all tweaks changing the settings there do not work.

Tried this with and without plugins, no difference.

Any progress on this? Import bookmarks is already in Firefox android Nightly — export bookmarks should be just as easy, especially for privacy-first users who can't use Sync.

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

Hi, I need a way to transfer/export my bookmarks on my phone (Android) so I can import them to another browser. I don't have access to a computer any more, so that is not an option. Why doesn't Firefox let me export my bookmarks on my device? Why do I need a computer?

I can't do it one by one. It would take too long and I would miss something.

Could I log in to my Firefox account with another browser and get the bookmarks that way? And, no I don't have access to a computer any more. Is this normal for browser, is it the same problem on other browser as well?

What should I do? (no, I still don't have access to a computer)

Basically every time i play a livestream on YouTube, it lags a lot/constantly buffers and when i play it, when i press the live button to go to the livesteam's current time i guess. It just goes back to the previous time in the stream and idk how to fix it. Basically i disabled ublock origin & it still has issues on mobile =( also it sometimes happens on PC but mostly with ublock on. Unfortunately i can't screen record on mobile

Here what should be improved: - remembers last accessed bookmark folder - bookmarks pages to recent bookmark folder that had been bookmarked to - exports bookmarks (the import function exists so then the user expects to export)

that would add a lot to firefox for android thus stop improving tab groups that are not really a priority than bookmark manager.

The Firefox browser for Android is my number one and primary browser, but since the recent updates (151, 152, and 153), I'm experiencing problems downloading large files or movies. Either the download speed is very slow, or the download fails altogether, even though I have a 5G phone and a 5G network. Another issue is that if I download two or three files simultaneously and then check the file manager within the browser, I only see one file; the other files are hidden. Also, the option to import and export bookmarks is missing, which is a normal feature found in almost all browsers. I've been using Firefox for many years, so please fix these issues.

Hi, in the vpn buil't in, it's not possible to change location (on Firefox android) however in the help that's indicated it should be, did I miss something ? thank you
