I can't remember when this problem started, but the volume dips down for maybe 1-2 seconds shortly after the start of anything with sound, like YouTube videos and MP3s embedded in a website. On the same phone with Chrome, the problem does not happen.

Has anyone experienced this? I made a screen capture that demonstrates the problem, alternating first with Chrome, then with Firefox (then both again) -- https://youtu.be/GB116jauaX4

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Where did this strange language come from? I synced my laptop to my Android phone and somehow this language started appearing English and another language I can't identify.

Hi,

I'm quite annoyed about the new Android Firefox menu update. It takes up so much more space on the screen for not really adding any extra usability and the New Tab button is entirely gone in spite of there being plenty of space to have included it. Where did it go? I'd really prefer to have it back.

Hello, "desktop view" is very useful, and I use it for LinkedIn because the "mobile mode" is shitty (I guess to make/force people to install the proprietary and closed source LinkedIn app).

I found that "desktop view" is stopping working while activated, when you always keep a tab opened for days... I have to close the tab and open a new one to make "desktop view" working again.

I found too that "open in a new tab" action is not inheriting the view mode of the parent tab and that an issue when browsing the same website.

Could it be possible to have "desktop view" enable by default based on visited website?

Google maps does not work even tho both the browser and gmaps site have location access and location is turned on . The problem is with firefox for android (stable version 133) . It has been like this for sometime i thought I'd just wait for it to fix itself but that's obviously not happening . Infinite loading or location not detected error . Have tried running with all protections and extension off . Do any of you have this issue ? Is there a way to fix it ? is the issue already acknowledged and worked on ?

My Android Firefox app suddenly changed the language for the menus. I now can't read the settings options. Can you describe how to change the menu back to English?

Please let me know if Firefox VPN is now made available for installation for Indian subscribers.

I am aware that Firefox may not have a server in India,as per our laws.

            Thanking You,

Hello,

I'm not able to upload files to certain websites using Firefox on Android.

When selecting a file for the phone's file manager, the file upload simply not starting.

However, Firefox on iOS doesn't have that issue.

Firefox version used is the latest one and it is the one from Google Play.

Tried another browser and it works great.

This hang is not consistent. I have been switching back and forth to get details for this thread with no issue. But very frequently when I have switched away from Firefox to another app and then returned to Firefox the app has completely frozen. I can see everything clearly but can do nothing at all (neither the web page or Firefox). I haven't yet identified a pattern.

132.0.2 has Relay and CashRewards installed. 133.0b8 is vanilla.

I'm using gesture controls on HyperOS to switch apps.

No issues with any other apps.

Is this where I report such things?

I've just about given up using this browser as it's become less and less user friendly. I have spent a couple of hours searching the forums and online to find a way to BLOCK webpages from refreshing/reloading in Firefox for Android. Facebook etc.. I've searched geckoview and there is NO option for blocking this feature. the accessibility.blockautorefresh no longer exists and re-entering it does nothing. I've disabled every option possible and it doesn't do it. Battery consumption etc. There are no current extensions add-ons that work. I assume this was done to make the browser more favorable for site monetization but Firefox wasn't supposed to be geared towards that.

If anyone knows of a way to do this please please let me know. Otherwise I'm -><- away from deleting this app and just using Brave.

I'm unsure if doing this will actually help me with a problem that I'm having, but I assume that it can't make it any worse, so my question is "Where can I download an (android) Firefox from?

For my puposes, I have the following requirements.

• My device has the Google play store (app), but I'd prefer to get a version of Firefox from a different location (because I doubt that what I want is in the Google play store). I know that Mozilla has sites that are specifically for hosting links to all of it's Firefoxes, so a link to one of those sub-sites would be ideal.
• The Firefox will need to be an ANDROID Firefox (because my device is an android tablet with an android OS).
• I don't know if Mozilla makes an (android) Firefox that is specifically for arm64-v8a android devices, but if they do, that would be preferred.
• EXTREMELY IMPORTANT = The Firefox will NEED to be able to use plugins. (I know that only some plugins will work in (android) Firefox.)
• I know that installing an (android) Firefox from anywhere except the Google play store (app) will mean that I'll (probably) need to manually visit the linked sub-site & get any updated versions from there. I accept that responsibility.

I am currently using (among other android web browsers) "Firefox beta", which I got from the Google play store a few days ago. I have a few logins (Google, Yahoo, & Facebook) already saved to that Firefox, but with Google, that was a pain in the (GUESS), & I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Is there a way to "export" my (already installed) android Firefox beta's login information & then import that into a new side loaded (android) Firefox? If so, I'll need a link (or the instructions themselves) for how to do that.

I am using Samsung S23 with the latest One UI and Android 14. Samsung's built-in browser has a neat feature where you can open YouTube or Reddit links in the apps installed on the device instead of viewing them in the mobile version of the website in the browser. I assume that Firefox has the same functionality called "Open links in apps" in the settings, but I tried all the available options and neither YouTube or Reddit links are automatically opened in their respective apps, nor is there a button anywhere to force them to open in the apps. Am I doing or assuming something wrong, or is this a bug?

hey, have a little issue: it seems i'm not able to change the app icon (android). i've followed the instructions found in https://support.mozilla.org/es/kb/customize-app-icon-firefox-android ; updated the app at the store, rebooted my device and finally (the problem persisted) uninstalled and installed again Firefox app. still nothing, the option does not appear. i'm adding an scrrenshot. very thank you.
