Hello,

Is there a way to refresh a page on Firefox for Android by dragging down the viewport?

I use it all the time on Opera for Android and it's really helpful.

Wondering if you can enable that option or where to request that feature for a new version of the browser.

Thank you!

Hello,

As the title reads, I'm trying to keep my browser settings including all the tweaks I have painstakingly made to "about:config" as well as the extensions.

I have done this before on a windows machine and it's quite straight forward in just having to copy the profile folder to the firefox installation in the appdata directory on another machine.

I have gained root access on both devices and a root permissioned file explorer to copy the profile to an SD card that I can trasnfer between the phones. Once the profile folder is copied to the data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla directory and the fresh installation of firefox executed on the new device, firefox instantly crashes.

What am I missing?

after updating to Firefox android 97.1.0 I face this error. while playing youtube video in full screen, bottom navigation bar is visible making it half baked full screen mode. later found it is same in other video playing websites too... Firefox goes fullscreen mode automatically while navigating in youtube and quite buggy in navigation bar.

I had no issues with previous version. I shouldn't have updated. I received only bugs in this update and no improvements. using Firefox in LG G8X running Android 11.

please fix this bug or share any possible solution available.

In the recent update, there is a new feature which allowed people to view pdf directly in the browser rather than downloading it. Ever since this was implemented, I am not able to download any pdf, instead it keeps opening up the pdf in another tab which is not what I'm trying to do. Is there a way to fix this?

In the search settings it is possible to add a search engine not in the list. Qwant.com is an excellent, privacy oriented search engine far better than DuckDuckGo in my experience. However, it does not follow the format Firefox for Android requires which is to add "%s" at the end of the string. Please let me know the exact string to use to add Qwant.com Thank you for all of your help. Please just provide the string needed in quotes if possible to make it very clear.

Currently using Firefox Nightly version 111.0a1 for Android now when trying to open a link in another app it always shows a popup to confirm.

This was not present in previous releases and I don't know if there is a way to prevent this popup as it makes it uncomfortable. Is there an option I may be missing to disable this feature? If not, could an option like this be introduced?

Thanks and regards

Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

Hello,

I've noticed for a couple of weeks now that audio streaming halted when the lock screen kicks in, regardless of whether I've blanked the screen myself (hardware button) or not on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. I was running Firefox for Android v98.2.0 (2022 Mar 13 on Android v9 and with the following add-ons:

- uBlock Origin - Privacy Badger - HTTPS Everywhere - Video Background Play Fix

This is behavior I haven't seen before, and I've been streaming on this device with Firefox and other apps for a couple of years now. To determine whether it's Firefox or Android itself at fault, I streamed under a different app (RadioGarden). I do not get the cut-outs with the latter; it carries on happily until I terminate the app.

I have upgraded to v98.3.0 and will test again with that. Searching on the Support forum, the last reports I could find of anything like this dated from Aug 2020 or so and quite a few versions back. Is this something that's cropped up again? Is anyone else seeing anything like this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

This week it's constantly switching to "Follow Device Theme" which then makes it the Light theme.

Interestingly, my phone's theme is also set to Dark mode so the Follow setting doesn't appear to work.
