Hi!

Suddenly the entire UI of the browser has changed. I have a big bar at the bottom of the screen taking far too much space with buttons I hardly ever need. And when I do need them I know where to find them. Thus they need not be as available as that (read: constantly in the way). It's not enough that it goes away when I scroll down as it pops up as soon as I scroll up again, along with the address bar.

How do I remove this bottom bar? The older UI was far better and didn't take this much space.

Thanks!

Recently, for some reason, my Send to Device on mobile doesn't send the tab to Desktop. I'm running the latest Firefox on PC and mobile (Galaxy S25+ latest Android version).

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling mobile, logging out/reconnecting my Firefox account on PC and rebooting but nothing seems to work. I CAN send from PC to mobile device; just not the other way around. Started maybe a month or so ago without warning.

The new menu can't be disabled. This wouldn't be so bad but the 3 dots are still at the top. If the menu now opens at the bottom, you should be able to open it from the bottom as well. That's how other mobile browsers do it. Plus it's bad on tablets which are supposed to act like a desktop browser.

I like very much Thunderbird very much, but I had to move recently to use an Android device, that is my main computer now. I normally work with four email accounts, and I sometimes need to move emails across different accounts. I found out that it is not working on the mobile app. Are there any plans to include this functionality in Thunderbird? Thank you very much.

Web pages keep refreshing when I go to scroll down (ie move towards the bottom of the page). It's gotten worse (more sensitive) since the update. It usually only happens right after a page has finished loading. I'm definitely not pulling down. I like having the pull down to refresh feature but this is happening nearly every time. Thank you

In the instructions says if you want to pair the device is to open Firefox on Android, press the "3 dots button" and click Ready to Scan button, but if I do that there is no such option there at all.

I am doing this signed-in into my Mozilla account.

Thanks in advance, Tadej Peršič from Slovenia 🇸🇮

I believe I found a bug. When drafting an email and switching away from Thunderbird the draft email gets sent but still remains in the drafts folder.

I created two emails today and had to switch away multiple times to get some information to paste into the emails. Thunderbird evidently sent out the draft in its current format whenever I switched away from the app.

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

After updating to 150 (any subversion), FF crashes on almost start - I can load a page but loading another page or a video in the page will stop loading after a while and crash within 5-10sec. No about:crashes generated. No crash if I only browse the page that's opened (except if I load extra content like videos). FF remembers if I navigate to another page before the crash, it'll open the navigated-to tab (provided it has been long enough, small pages load, big pages don't). It really looks like after loading a fixed amount of data it just stops loading and crashes, taking the full browser down with it. Note that there is likely 500+ tabs opened (even though it's never been a problem), cache was cleared and extensions deactivated.

For the first time in many many years, the beta's unstable (brillant track record for a beta)!
