Since FF v133.0 when maximized causes Windows taskbar to not appear when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen

After updating to v 133.0, when maximizing Firefox (not F11 fullscreen), a taskbar that is set to "auto-hide" will no longer unhide when mousing to the bottom of the screen. This did not occur with the previous version (132.0.2).

This behavior is also unaffected by the "devtools.toolbox.alwaysOnTop" setting in about:config as i've tried switching from the default "true" to "false".

Update: Still persists in 136.0.2

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

Subtitles and rewind/fast-forward not following Picture-in-Picture mode for Disney+

I've been having an issue with picture-in-picture (PiP) mode where the subtitles and rewind/fast-forward buttons (rr/ff) won't follow the video into the small player for Disney+ specifically. I have no issues with YouTube or any other site. The subtitles and rr/ff just stay with the original video player on the site while the video is in PiP mode. I can see the subtitle button on the PiP player, but it is grayed out and I can't click it. I've updated both Firefox and my computer (Windows 11) and reinstalled Firefox, cleared cookies and cache, and still no dice. Any advice? Thanks!

(In the screenshot, the PiP player isn't showing video, but I think that's just because of Disney's anti-piracy software - I can see the video in the PiP player on my screen.)

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.

Open external app button events unreliable

I use an external torrent app LibreTorrent. When I click on magnet links, FF133 faithfully opens the external app handler. However when I tap the OK button FF very often ignores my tapping. I can hit several times with no effect. I can see a quick circle showing as I tap, so the tap is generating an event, but FF does not react to it. This happens in normal and private mode. Sometimes after a couple or perhaps a dozen or more taps, the OK event has an effect and the external app launches fine.

A very curiously I accidentally noticed that if I tap or swipe the text also showing on the dialog box before tapping OK, the first tap on OK always works! 100% reliable. Something is fishy with event handling.

Repro: FF133 + current LibreTorrent client, then tap of first magnet link at https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents

The website WSJ has large areas on front page, including the opinion listing, are simply white and not 'there' on the page to click on. I've deleted their cookies without effect, tried turning off all adblockers, shut mac down to reboot, nothing seems to have an effect. This is a recent glitch of only several days, prior performance was great. Thanks!

Since I upgraded to the latest version, Firefox is sluggish and crashes on a regular basis. I have changed my privacy settings from strict to default, has not changed the problem. How can I go back to old version? I choose Firefox because of the privacy concerns, and understand that some websites won't work well, but I've never experienced consistent problems with the app crashing.

hi I would like to download and install firefox for android which if I understand correctly is named fenix, without going to an app store. I don't see a direct link on the main pages on the website. I noticed at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/ it looks like it might be possible to get the apk. My concern would be does this violate any terms or licenses? Is this 100 percent ok to do? Also does the firefox owners have anything written answering this? There are websites that imply sideloading firefox might be considered using without permission and I definitely don't want that.

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

Hi all, There is a bug regarding the "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox (Android - version 133.0.3).

Despite being sorted accordingly on PC and synchronized, the mobile version of Firefox for bookmarks are scrambled (see attached image).

On mobile Firefox, it looked like it was sorted according to the "recently added" bookmarks.


To add on for more details, expected results according to the PC version of "Bookmarks Manager", it should have been displayed this way on Android Firefox:

  • Desktop Bookmarks
  • Folder
  • Link 1
  • Link 2
  • Link 3
  • Link 4
  • Link 5
  • Webtoon
  • Twitter

And so on.
