Until recently (sorry, I don't know which version I upgraded from), entering fullscreen mode when playing back video (such as YouTube) would automatically force landscape mode, even with auto-rotation disabled. Now, there seems to be no way for me to enter landscape mode while playing back a video, without enabling auto-rotation (which I otherwise always keep disabled).

I realize that the desired behavior here can be subjective, but at least it would be nice if there is/would be a way of configuring this behavior?

I'm on Android 13 (Oxygen OS 13 on OnePlus Nord 2T), with Firefox version 112.2.0 (release April 24 on the play store).

Currently using Firefox Nightly version 111.0a1 for Android now when trying to open a link in another app it always shows a popup to confirm.

This was not present in previous releases and I don't know if there is a way to prevent this popup as it makes it uncomfortable. Is there an option I may be missing to disable this feature? If not, could an option like this be introduced?

Thanks and regards

Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

I have created some firefox collections but have difficulty getting to the collections screen. On a collections help page it says "In the Collections section on the Home screen" but my android phone does not show a collections section, just icons. What is the problem? I also cannot figure out how to find the version of firefox that is installed, if that may be the issue.

I'm getting Secure Connection Failed error on every single website I try to visit. Including sites such as microsoft.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, etc. (Strangely, mozilla.org works fine.) Try Again never works, and Advanced - Accept risk works sometimes, but not always and if I close Firefox app and re-open it's back to the error page. I can't believe this is a common problem, so there must be something about my phone that's causing this. Android 11. Happens whether or not WiFi is enabled. What could it be?

I have been using Mozilla VPN for quite a while now. I have a love/hate relationship with it as I have to turn it off and on often throughout the day as certain websites will not work while the VPN is on. My question is, should I add Private Network to my system or should I switch to the Private Network instead of the VPN? I am a complete novice so I don't understand the technical issues, advantages or disadvantages between the two.

Disabling URLBar AutoFill

Is there any way to disable the urlbar autofill on mobile? It used to be possible to just turn off `browser.urlbar.autofill` in `about:config`, but that's no longer available. Even if I use Firefox Developer or Nightly so that I can actually get access to `about:config`, the option is no longer there. I absolutely despise the autofill, and, up until the new version of the mobile browser, Firefox was the only browser that actually let me turn it off. I was disappointed when the update broke that, but I waited, figuring that it was still new and there were some kinks to work out. And now it's been months and it's still missing. Is there still some other way to turn this off, or am I missing something?

When I open firefox, I click on "bookmarks". This opens "desktop bookmarks". When I click on that, it opens 3 others: Bookmark menu Bookmark toolbar Other bookmarks If I click on "bookmark toolbar", it opens "bookmarks". After all of this, I click on bookmarks and it FINALLY opens my bookmark list. Why do I have to go through so many links just to open my list? What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it to only show bookmarks/my list? I have an android tablet and phone. The problem only occurs with android, not with my windows 10 desktop.

Thanks.

Hi

I have been using Dashlane and 1Password for the past year. I have recently switched to firefox and I immediately noticed that autofill is not reliable as a chromium-based browser like brave, chrome, Vivaldi. It is glitchy sometimes. At a time it not showing an autofill prompt for some website. For better understanding, I have dropped a Dropbox link. I have recently checked out ver 89.1.1 and still, the issues persist.

Comparing Firefox and Brave

Thanks Hoping for a fix.

I've been using Nightly for quite a while. Lately got email announcing new Firefox for Android. Would like to switch but don't want to lose bookmarks and links stored in collections. the way I understand it the links I have stored and organized in collections are really nothing more than bookmarks in organized containers.

If I install the new Android Firefox on my tablet, will it overwrite Nightly or install separately?

Will my bookmarks and collections transfer or sync to the new Android Firefox?

What versions of Android are supported by the new Android Firefox?
