Firefox for android is asking for a pin but I am sure I have never created a pin for Firefox and it does not accept an empty. It also does not appear to have aplace for pin creation. I found a support notr that talked about windows credentials, but I am currently on android and my main computer is Linux. How do I find out what pin it wants?

Nightmare of passwords stored by Firefox i cant use

This applies to my android phone, my Firefox tablet, my Apple computer. I have a new phone its carried over to. My passwords are set up to sync but i cant access them except random chance. It used to keep all my passwords straight and accessible when logging into a site. Now it plays dumb a lot of times and i end up having to manually enter them IF I even know what it is. Lots of times trying to log in theres a button that reads UNLOCK FIREFOX but I have no clue how to do that (punching the button does nothing Sometimes it gets so confusing and ive ended up being locked out of a site because of suspicious activity or too many tries. Then i get delayed playing Verification Code Bingo with texts or emails.

I thought Firefox Recovery Code was to prevent all the verification codes etc. But all it did was that even though i correctly entered a lengthy bunch of numbers that Fiefox forced me to reset my password and then i had to orove who i was with multiple verification codes and emails.

Ive visited the forum and followed various tips how to fix it but that just created more problem. The site has me logged on with devices i no longer have but logging out of them creates more confusion. Sometimes it says im on two different unnamed android devices and both within 15 minutes. I cant tell if its my tablet or my phone or what.

Neither Firefox nor MAC OS will let me download a list of my passwords and user names.so im forced to keep trying. Sometimes i dream about destroying every device in my house and starting over.

Its so complicated far beyond what Ive said here but its so convoluted and mixed up I can no longer recall when any of the vexatious instances occurred. I see multiple copies of Firefox on my device and try to delete one ir two but doesnt help and somet>mes makes it worse. Arbitrarily it will input on one site but not the next 3 random sites. It is so beyond crazy i wanna scream.

How do i unwind this snakes nest puzzling conundrum?

If i go to another password manager wont that mean manually entering my hundreds od sites user names and passwords which i will have to surreptiously steal from apple or google or firefox. I let them amass this data and now they are witholding it from me, the person who created all the passwords on chosen sites.

This is a convoluted nightmare im beginning to believe theres no way of fixing.

I remember sites with related terms not always being grouped up not too long ago. The change isn't bad but would like to know how to disable it. The main issue being ever since this change was implemented, it breaks some functionality. It keeps you from being able to look through the rest of your history until you delete the group. Either it prevents you from continuing to scroll down. Or when you do keep scrolling, it keeps looping the sites already shown.

Firefox v 98.2.0 Android 10

When viewing an image in landscape position, when I tap and drag up on the screen to enter full screen mode a horizontal bar appears at the bottom of the screen (not the Android navigation bar). This doesn't happen when using DuckGo or Chrome. How do I get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen?

I just installed Firefox for Android. I'm trying to sync my device for the first time. The app said to open firefox.com/pair on my desktop & take a picture with my camera of the symbol. So I opened firefox.com/pair on my desktop (Windows 10) and it shows a box that says, "Connect to another device {title} Open the code scanner on your Firefox app and show the code when ready. [Show code] {button}"

I looked on my app & can't find a code scanner anywhere. Anyone know where to find it?

FF Android 98 -- Pages failing to start loading, blank or confused page

Over the last few weeks FF has started failing to start loading pages.

Behaviour: I tap on a link, a new tab opens, but the URL from the *previous* page remains showing in the address bar, not progress bar shows, and the page stays blank indefinitely. Reloading sometimes fixes it(?). I usually have to kill the toxic tab.

There is no pattern I can see for which pages this impacts. It's "all pages". Maybe 5% of pages. Enough to be rather annoying.

I have zero Add-ons installed. Android 12.

Tapping on the address bar shows the URL change to the new address but hitting enter it just switched back to showing the old address. No page ever loads. I can often close the tab then click on the link again, but it feels like something very early in the page loading process is dying (TLS? Some loading thread?!) and the process just ... Stops.

Switching between tabs in this state shows the same problem. Like right now I can see a Patreon URL tab that failed to load, but the tab gallery view shows the correct title but *THIS* page's content! See attached. When I tap on that Patreon tab, I get dropped back onto *this* tab. They are apparently two views of the one page now? Hard to explain, but certainly some confused state going on.

This didn't happen a month or so ago.

Any other way I can help debug this?

Thanks!
