Unable to view YouTube comments using Firefox on android. I can view the comments on Opera, duckgo and chrome.

This problem started about four days ago. Comments show on the short videos but not the regular videos. When I tap on "comments" the resulting page/frame is empty.

Good morning and/or evening!

Within the last year, I upgraded my phone from iOS to Android, and decided to switch browsers from Safari to FireFox while I was at it. The mobile version of FireFox has served me very well so far, especially the collections feature!

I also like to use private tabs to save content I may not want to view until later. Unfortunately, due to FireFox automatically closing private tabs, I often lose my place and reading lists.

The option to Keep Private Tabs is available on the iOS version of Firefox, as shown on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-close-private-tabs-when-leaving-priv. Would it be possible to make this an option for Android users as well?

Thank you for your time and help!

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR READING THIS. Am newly signed onto Android Mobile FireFox.

I agreed to the Extension "Downloading YouTube". Then, an ominous warning popped-up. Now I regret having pressed the "download" consent. Recently, my YouTube Premium Account was hacked. There were stranfe noises & unnerving screeches, preceeding YouTube freezing. Eventually, I decided to Factory Reset the phone. Discovered that my YouTube History had movies/videos that I never watched. This is why I thot it wise to have YouTube protection. However, how would I know if the Extension download occurred? I don't see any addition to my App Library.》》 Maybe my Android Securuty blocked it. How can I check this? I'm not computer intelligent. Don't know the difference between a Mobile Phone App or a Mobile Phone Extension. Very much appreciate your help. Thank You!!

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.

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.
