On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

Am not able to search from address bar. Input sits a second then Startpage appears from the home page with the start bar.

Also, where exactly do I access java script. about config does not do anything because I cannot search from address bar? Or is it disabled on this version which, according to info I found Beta and Nightly have the about config option.

Last, this is a brand new account so it might not show up.

When adding a bookmark on Android, I used to be able to sort bookmark order within folders by custom sort, A-Z, and age. Recently (as of 148.0 (Build #2016144279)), the folder menu when adding a bookmark is now different, but the sort options no longer work.

I'm making a post here before making one on Mozilla Connect, in the hopes this bug can be passed on to a developer.

Suddenly Firefox has randomly decided that it will no longer play any videos anywhere ever. I have changed absolutely nothing, videos just fail to play at all. Every solution that exists on the Internet has failed to solve the problem. And I do mean EVERY solution.

I can open the exact same video on Chrome and it plays immediately with no issues. The app is simply broken.

Very cool. I love it when software stops working due to no fault of my own and nothing I do fixes it. Glad I spent two hours on that.

Hello,

I am a long-time Firefox user. I am writing to express my frustration with a specific change introduced in Firefox for Android 149.

First, I want to be clear: the new main menu redesign is a good decision. Moving the core controls to the bottom of the screen, within thumb reach, is the right ergonomic approach, and I appreciate that work.

My complaint is specifically about the new tab tray layout.

In version 149, the Normal/Private/Synced tab selector has been moved to the top of the screen in direct contradiction with the philosophy behind the rest of the redesign. This makes one-handed use significantly harder, requiring an uncomfortable reach. The previous design kept these controls at the bottom, which was ergonomically correct.

I had previously managed to revert this change by removing the 'Android UI Redesign' study under Data Collection settings. Since version 149 has baked the new tab tray in permanently, with the Secret Settings toggles also removed, I am left with no option to restore the previous behavior.

I genuinely want to keep using Firefox it remains my browser of choice. However, if no layout option is added in a future update to restore bottom-positioned tab selector controls, I will be forced to switch to an alternative browser. Not out of spite, but simply because the current layout makes daily one-handed browsing genuinely uncomfortable.

I hope this feedback reaches the Firefox Android product team.

Thank you.

fix the issue. Data and history including recently closed tabs, not working on Quit selection. I have to manually select history and then select 'everything' to clear. if i Quit firfox and come back in to it, recently closed tabs with thier history is still present. i have no idea if cache etc is cleared as no way to tell. So i can only manually do it as described above. its a pain not knowing if cache etc is also cleared for banking etc. i would like to revert back to last stable firefox but i cant as only this one is on google play. i suggest you fix it so we can delete firefox and reinstall older version until you have this fixed. it defeats the purpose of Firefox to do otherwise.

Hello,

I noticed something that feels really inconvenient when working with many open tabs. Right now, when I try to bookmark multiple open tabs, there’s no simple way to select all of them at once. There’s no “Select All” option, so I have to manually pick each tab, which becomes frustrating if I have dozens of tabs open.

It would be very helpful to have a “Select All” checkbox or button when adding open tabs to bookmarks, so users could quickly save everything in one step.

This seems like a small feature, but it would make managing tabs much easier, especially for people who research a lot or keep many tabs open.

Thanks for your work on Firefox.
