Mozilla has announced that:

> Beginning with Firefox 144, the minimum supported Android version will increase to 8.0 (Oreo)

Where can we download version 143 to install on older devices (Android 5 to 7) from now on?

I'm using Fennec Firefox on mobile and I'm having this problem where my the page refreshes on the slightest touch. I'd like to turn this gesture off all together. I have done some research and found this code: document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) {

   // Check for a swipe down gesture to prevent refresh action
   if (event.touches.length > 0) {
       // Prevent default action
       event.preventDefault();
   }

}, { passive: false });

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {

   // Prevent default action to avoid refresh
   event.preventDefault();

}, { passive: false }); I put it into a java script extension and it worked, but then I wasn't able to scroll up or down. I don't know anything about java or python, so if someone could give me a hint or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I am also looking through the source code of Firefox looking for answers.

See here.

This appears on almost every opening of the app. Clicking on "It's great!" asks me to leave a review on Play Store. Clicking on "I'm having issues" asks me to leave feedback at Mozilla Support forums. I don't want to do either, I just want the popup to go away and never return. I keep seeing it even after having already clicked both buttons several times.

I'm on the latest version (145.0.2).

I am unable to send tabs from my desktop devices to Firefox on my Android device.

- All devices are logged into Firefox Sync. - Sending tabs from Android to desktop works fine. - Attempting to send a tab from desktop to Android, nothing happens. Have tried with multiple different tabs from multiple desktop devices, it never makes it to my Android device. - Synced tabs works fine. I can see the open tabs on all my devices from all my other devices, and it stays up to date. - Have tried logging out of sync and logging back in. Didn't fix the issue.

Desktop devices are running Firefox v146.0.1 on Windows Android device is running v146.0.1 on Android 16 (Pixel 8 Pro)

I wish there was a setting to not have the page refresh every time you go into another app and then come back into this one, it's impossible to multitask and extremely frustrating. It seems to happen on most pages I visit, even YouTube. Especially on pages with forms. It makes moving around on your phone to get info for forms impossible, and it's also just frustrating when you go to answer a text, come back and your progress on a video or form or shopping search has reset and started over, taking you back to the top. Is that sort of thing dependent on the website, or the browser?

I receive emails from "TenTabs from Firefox". When i click on the unsubscribe button in the email, i get directed to the following page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/existing/ When i enter my email and click "Send me a link", i get a new email in my inbox with the subject "Your email preference center link", and a button in the email that says "Email preference center". When i click on the link, it takes me to a page saying "Manage your Email Preferences". I didnt find Ten Tabs to unsubscribe. Even i umsubscribed from the 4 options available on the site but i still recieve emails every couple of days.

I want to easily unsubscribe from TenTabs. I did some research and i think it is related to Pocket.

A site I use, bestcrosswords.com, has been acting weirdly since late on 11/18. Instead of the highlighting changing with the active word, the highlighting has gone completely haywire. I have already posted regarding that and filed a bug report (the problem does not occur in DuckDuckGo), but the site has started giving a suggestion I cannot follow.

Please see the image. I can see how the suggestion works on a desktop, but not a phone. Please forgive me if it's considered too obvious to document, but despite searching the phone's software and the Web for advice, I cannot find anyway to follow the site's suggestion.

Could someone clarify the point for me?

Thank you.

For the past two weeks, I haven’t been able to access youtube.com on Firefox. Every other browser loads it without any issues. I’ve already tried switching devices, reinstalling Firefox, changing networks and locations—but nothing fixes it. The YouTube app works fine, and this problem only occurs when opening youtube.com in Firefox.

On desktop Firefox, I get:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to youtube.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

On mobile Firefox, I get:

Cannot Complete Request Additional information about this problem or error is currently unavailable.

I would appreciate any help resolving this issue.
