Occasionally (it already happened three times today) when i'm browsing and switching between tabs, one tab will become an image of its contents (as in - no links work, can't scroll vertically or horizontally) and the others become grey. Trying to reload the pages or open new ones doesn't work, they never load. Turning the browser off by going to the phone's home menu and closing Firefox in the recent applications view doesn't solve the problem, it only closes any private tabs but the issue persists when opening any new tab or preexisting ones. The only way to fix the problem is by force stopping the app. I've cleared the cache, it didn't solve the problem, and reinstalling seemed to work for a few days but now the problem is back. For reference, my add-ons/extensions are: Ghostery, NoScript and UBlock Origin.

"tab closed" toast message duration too long

Is there a way to shorten the toast message for closing a tab? I believe it's longer than 5 seconds (I slow counted to 7), which seems excessive.

My (personal, sure) reason for asking is that my RSS reader's "next" button is immediately beneath the toast, so if I've opened and closed an article I have to wait 5 seconds to get to the next.

My manual workaround has been to just leave tabs open and close them en masse, but that's a bit risky, given other tabs I'd like to keep open.

The message in referencing is at the bottom of the screenshot I've attached.

It would be ideal if I could turn them off entirely: I know that I closed a tab, after all?

Thanks at least for listening!

Hello,

Since yesterday Firefox has been crashing within several minutes of opening the app. It initially appears to load fine, then begins to stutter and lag around 30 seconds in. At this point scrolling usually begins to stop and the Android UI locks up (can't go to home screen, etc). In addition the bottom Android bar usually flickers on and off.

The crash occurs whether a page is loading or not. It also doesn't matter which screen I'm on (the crash still happens if stay on the new tab page, load a new page, open the settings and hold there, etc). It also occurs when Twitter loads Firefox as its browser.

In most cases the app crashes with no crash log saved to about:crashes. However, around 1 in 10 attempts a crash log is generated. Here are crash stats from the two crashes that made it to

Actions I have taken to try and fix the issue:

  • Check for Firefox and Android updates (both versions were current)
  • Clear app cache through Android system settings
  • Restart phone
  • Disable all extensions
  • Close all tabs

I'm not certain this is the correct forum for this report. If posting here was in error please direct me to the correct bug reporting platform.

Thanks

Hello,

I have an issue in the latest version of the android app. When I inputting any keyword into the url bar and hitting enter, instead of using my search engine to perform the search like in previous versions, the browser redirects to unrelated websites from my browsing history that vaguely share some characters with what I had entered and that did not show up in the suggestions. This makes the search bar unusable.

weird address/search bar autofill behavior on android

Hi everybody, I'm having this weird issue on Firefox for Android that appeared approximately when the last UI change (changing the three-dot-menu) appeared, but I wasn't able to pin it down to any specific point in time.

The issue is that when using the search (/address) bar and hitting enter, instead of the default behavior which is forwarding my search string to my default search engine, a more or less random URL (based on approx the first three letters of my search prompt and then some miraculous autofill) populates the search bar. I have to specifically select an autofill suggestion with the search symbol to avoid this, but autofill doesn't always show up, so opening a new tab is the only thing I can do then.

I'm unsure how to describe this, but I'll give an example: when typing "booker prize" and hitting enter, instead of searching for it, a more or less random website I never have knowingly used and that seems depreacated (https://bookerproxy-new.lot.com/service.php) is autofilled. I can turn off autofill completely in the settings, but then it won't do any autofill at all, including for websites I have bookmarked or visit frequently. So it seems that this autofill feature just is having a bug where it's overly aggressive, but I can't say why.

Also, the search bar has been really slow lately, so actually, 9/10 times, when typing "booker prize" (and the keyboard actually prove this), what reaches the search bar is only something like "bookr pe". This issue isn't present anywhere else on the device, neither in other Firefox text fields nor in other browsers' search bars.

So yeah, I don't know what to do but Firefox on Android has been only good for pulling up sites I've clicked on directly, either as shortcuts on the start menu or links from other apps.

If you have any idea how to fix this behaviour or at least how to trace it's origin I'd be grateful.

Today, using Firefox--or at least what i think is Firefox--i checed session history while logged into my mega.nz account. It lists 2 instances, one of which is for 3 days prior when I originally set up the Mega account using the Mega app, and the other is for yesterday when I entered the account using the FF browser--or, again, what i think is the FF browser. What's curious is that it shows i was using the Chrome browser, and that I'm apparently still using this browser as it's listed as the "Current" session. How can this be? While I have the Chrome app on my phone, I disabled it long ago and have never used it, and most certainly did not use it during the time and activities in question. I have long speculated that I have been hacked and that my phone is sometimes (always?) controlled by this hacker, though no solid proof. Assuming the hacker uses Chrome, could this be reflecting their using the Chrome browser, as opposed to the FF browser, which I'm currently using (or think im using)? In other words, is this the proof of a hack? Or is this a glitch within Mega, mistakingly listing Chrome as my browser?

Why in Thunderbird desktop I can set checking for mail to every 1 minute but in Thunderbird Android I only have the option to fetch mail every 15 minutes?

This needs to be changed ASAP! I need to make replies to urgent emails quickly! I shouldn't have to wait 15 minutes for Thunderbird to check for new emails or for me to keep pressing check for new emails. Gmail and FairEmail get my new emails straight away!! Thunderbird Android takes ages

Please change and fetch new emails ASAP! I love Thunderbird and have used Thunderbird since it was first released! But Gmail and FairEmail I use because of this issue! Look at my screenshot! 15 minutes is a joke!!
