Video of the issue

If i open a link to redirect to an app, let’s say wikipedia, it will redirect fine. When i switch back to Firefox, the mobile version of the link i clicked on will be loaded instead of just displaying search engine search results where i clicked the wikipedia link. (Admin note: edited to fix formatting issue)

Another thing that happens is if i click on the link, still being wikipedia, get redirected to the app, then close out firefox, the next time i open firefox, it will redirect me back to the wikipedia app.

This issue I have been having is not just related to Wikipedia, this is for any other link that may open a related app I have installed on my phone.

HELP! My mobile data usage spiked as of June 20th and has continued at unprecedented levels almost every day since. My historic daily usage for the past many years has been around 4 MB and is now 95MB. and busting through my 2GB/month limit. This is ALL due to Firefox! What happened? Something strange happened on June 19th, when my mobile date usage recorded three separate usage figures instead of the single usage figure for all days previously. June 19th showed 2 usage figures and June 30th showed 3.

Firefox browser on Android is not opening mail apps when clicking Mailto link. Screen goes blank. No action. Firefox laptop browser works fine, opens mail app when Mailto link is clicked. Picture shows "President" highlighted in orange...this means the link was clicked but the browser didnt execute the send email command, so no mail apps opened. Used Chrome on this link and it opened a window with several mail app options.

I have the latest version of Android 13 and Firefox up to date on my phone, but there's been some weird behavior when playing videos as of late. Videos refuse to properly go fullscreen now. When I tap the fullscreen button, the video moves to the center of the screen but stays in portrait orientation, which is obviously not what I want. In addition, picture-in-picture is not working at all, and the notification control panel (that lets you pause and play minimized videos from the notification) is not appearing even though notifications are not disabled for Firefox. Videos still play, but almost none of the features for them are working. What is going on? Can anyone help?

After connecting a bluetooth headset and using Firefox (115.0a1 (Build #2015950435), 1d9511bcc3 + this version so far) to play online video is obviously lagging, not audio and video is not synchronized, is to play a moment to get stuck in a frame like this. My own troubleshooting revealed a problem with Firefox and the encoding format selected for the headset. Currently 1 the problem is only in bluetooth audio encoder selection acc (lhdc also have the problem but the symptoms are not as serious as aac) and triggered in firefox, other browsers can not be reproduced, test redmi k40 and xiaomi 13p also can not be reproduced. 2 after the screen recording is turned on, the problem is obviously lagging. 2 The problem disappeared after turning on screen recording, the screen recording parameter is 1280x720@60 at 32mbps, and the audio source is recorded in the system. Play the video first and then open the screen recording lag disappeared, first start screen recording after playing the video lag does not appear. And no matter what kind of situation screen recording stops lag recovery.

The power draw can be heinous. In 37 minutes of use so far for this full charging cycle, it has used 5 times the power (measured by Android's battery page) as RedReader has in its roughly 2.5 hours. Is there a way that can be brought to heel a bit?

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to seek assistance with a technical issue I've encountered while implementing a backdrop filter and animation on a navigation bar.

To provide some context, I have incorporated a backdrop filter effect on our navigation bar, accompanied by a translateX animation to reposition it smoothly. However, when testing the website in Firefox, I have noticed a noticeable choppiness in the animation performance. This issue persists on both desktop and Android devices.

To help you better understand the problem, I have included a screenshot, so you can see the issue.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you may have on how to address this problem and improve the performance of the backdrop filter and animation in Firefox.

For your convenience, here are the relevant links:

   Live Site URL: https://ohsorrow.me/Space-tourism-website/
   GitHub Repository: https://github.com/OhSorrow/Space-tourism-website

Your expertise and support in resolving this matter would be invaluable to our project. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Sincerely, Aram

Monospace fonts not displaying appropriately

I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and Samsung Galaxy A42 5G. Neither of these devices has the monospace font Courier New installed. However, when using Chrome, text boxes on websites that use Courier New are displayed in a different monospace font (which I've been unable to identify). On Firefox, they are not. This breaks the appearance of some websites which rely on text being monospaced but don't include "monospace" in their CSS font family.

Image 1: Screenshot of a website that uses Courier New, as it appears on desktop (both Firefox and Chrome). Image 2: A snippet of the CSS used in that website, showing that the font family is "courier new,courier" and does not include "monospace". Image 3: The same website using Chrome on mobile (on both the phone and the tablet). The font is distinctly not Courier New (or Courier), but is still monospaced, salvaging at least that aspect of the text. Image 4: The same website using Firefox on mobile (on both the phone and the tablet). This displays a non-monospaced font.

The obvious fix is to simply install Courier New on the phone and tablet, which I'm working on doing (update: this is much harder than it should be). However, I think Chrome displaying a different monospaced font when the requested monospaced font is unavailable is a good user experience feature, and would like to see it mirrored in Firefox.

Have been able to get them via Firefox for a long time prior. Also, lately firefox will stop my search until I click the FF icon where a wheel is turning and once I click it, it changes to a check mark and then I can proceed. Can you help please? Thank you.
