I use the Android beta version of Firefox to open the website as shown in the picture. I've turned on the option Ask me when opening links with external apps in settings. When I clicked the Open APP button in the upper right corner, there was no pop-up window asking me whether to open Quark Browser as expected, but it was downloaded directly. However, when I visit some other websites such as Zhihu, the correct pop-up window appears. What is the problem?

In other browsers (eg Opera Chrome etc) if I turn on desktop site option then the website "91mobiles" switches to its desktop version instantly without any issues. But in Firefox this website is not switching to its desktop version. It stays open in its mobile site version.

After opening mobile FF browser on the Homepage, it shows some links feom my browsing history - Recently visited.

And after 1 or 2 seconds suddenly block Jump back in appears. I'm tired of mistapping on this block, when I'm trying to select Recently viewed link but in this moment Jump back in link appeared on its place!

Please fix this, it's a very bad experience...

Ever since the last update, my keyboard isn't appearing in Firefox Focus when I tap the url bar. Normally it would appear to type in a new url, but not anymore. When I tap the bar, it automatically selects the complete url but then I have to tap again in order to show the keyboard. See the attached screenshot; I have tapped the url bar here but no keyboard has appeared.

I am using the regular keyboard on Android, Gboard. I'm on Android 13. Using a Fairphone 4.

Everything is updated to the latest available.

Hey guys! so, for background, I'm using Firefox Beta on a Galaxy tab.

I have this thing when I use the browser in Multi Window and try to highlight a text by tap holding it. the pop-up menu (where you have options such as copy/cut and select, etc.) doesn't really show. this only happens to me on Firefox. what's up with that?

also, tapping a word twice doesn't select it even when I'm not using Multi Window... what's up with that?

Let's say I googled "rectal cancer" on a daily basis 6 months ago. I had quite a challenging time, but thankfully that problem got sorted and I'm ready to put it all behind me.

Problem: I don't want "rectal cancer" showing up in my search suggestions ever again.

I can go to the "History" panel and search for "rectal cancer" to find all the unwanted history entries BUTT I can't delete any of them. The history panel doesn't allow searching and deleting at the same time. So the only option I have is to clear my entire history, or scroll down my history manually for hours to find all the entries I want to remove.

Isn't this almost unbelievably stupid?

Hi,

I am a frequent user of Firefox on multiple platforms, including Android 14, where I frequently use DeX.

However, I am many times forced to use Chrome or Samsung Internet on DeX to get a professional computer desktop experience.

Firefox does not recognize different mouse button clicks and neither does it view websites with high resolution, not even after selecting "Desktop mode", but instead shows a zoomed-in phone view. (I gave tried selecting various zoom levels in settings.) There may be other shortcomings as well.

Perhaps some of the issues can be avoided by changing some settings? However, please address the issue of providing a full desktop experience in DeX. Thanks for a great browser in most other respects on multiple platforms.

It's 2024. Get it together Mozilla. There is no option to zoom out. There is no option for desktop pages by default. It's bad enough you are bending to the other corporate sites and limit what plugins we can use here.

But Firefox Mobile is too stupid to figure out it's on a full-size display and it's too retarded to have the settings requirednto resize it myself.

Hello world! (Sorry; had to.)

I just started using Firefox for Android, as a workaround to the problems I'm having with playing my YouTube playlists.

But, I'm having several problems in Firefox for Android.

1. Playlists (the actual lists of videos) cover the video that's currently playing. My workaround to this is to play in full screen mode, but that brings up problem

2. Full screen videos automatically switch to landscape orientation, despite system settings, with no apparent way to switch back to portrait orientation without also exiting full screen mode. I've tried rotating my phone with auto rotate on/off; neither setting has any affect on the orientation.

What's extremely frustrating about this is that any workaround is actually a workaround to a workaround to a workaround; it's workaroundception.

What I really really want is to be able to simply play my playlist/listen to it without having to jump through hoops and without having to burn through data like a bonfire burns through sticks.

IMO, the best solution would be to download the entire playlist:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Hu9zPsGgiUKHoc2GeRo6ydKQMIQy8Pt&si=LzYVEe1sd8T1knZF

...in one go, and stick it on an mp3 player like it's 2009. So far, the only YouTube to mp3 sites I've found only download individual videos; not whole playlists. (And that's not really a Mozilla issue anyway; the Mozilla issues are the unwanted rotation and the video stack covering up the currently playing video.)
