I'm using Firefox latest version 128.0, device language was set to Japanese but I set Firefox 's language to English (United Kingdom) or English US. However, if I press home button (the Android button) to go back to home screen (the Android main home screen), or rotaing firefox window, firefox will ignore set language (english) and now set to follow device language (Japanese) however, if you go to menu -> settings, language (言語 gengo, language) it was checked to english uk. I dont know what happened?

I clicked the email I wished to read on my 11 year old Samsung ph and off we went to Firefox - BUT I got a face full of Facebook, with no sign of Firefox which appeared to have been pushed off the cliff. I don't have an FB app on my ph I have never used FB on any of my devices - I am much too old and busy with many more important things.

took me a while to find this page - thanks to my incurable bone marrow cancer I sometimes feel like I am and demented ancient. [thankfully most of the time I am coherent and sort of normal -but my whole life was upended when I was diagnosed a few years ago. the number of things this disease can do to one are quite astounding so I'm always looking for news surrounding Multiple Myeloma, as it is called.]

can I prevent that from happening? and, if yes, of course, how can I do that? thanks for reading all this

uhoh, I just realised I haven't updated FF on my ph - even tho I do it on PC when I see a message, or just check if one is lurking ...

could that be the reason for FB sticking their bib where it's not welcome? k

Don't cram unwanted "features" like trending searches. Anything I want to search for I type in. What others search for I do want to see or be bothered with. Your how-to does not work to disable it. I want my search window in the center, it is my phone, my eyes, don't fugg with it.

I am using Firefox 124.2 (40108) on my iPhone with iOS 16.7.7 (20H330) and using DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. Loading settings with their Cloud Save service does not work as expected: the settings reset each time you restart the app.

How to get DuckDuckGo settings to persist across sessions in the app?

Dear Firefox Team,

I am writing to propose an enhancement for your iOS and Android, as well as desktop applications, that would greatly benefit users with visual impairments. It would also benefit anyone who is aware that they are in need of supplementary assistance in the absorption of information and knowledge, such as myself (for context; I am an adult with autism and ADHD). Specifically, I suggest adding an accessibility feature that provides verbal dictation of the text on the phone. This addition would significantly improve the experience for users with limited or no sight or potentially even other types of disabilities.

As a friendly neighborhood computer consultant, I recommend Firefox as the default browser to my friends and family because of its strong commitment to privacy. Additionally, a partnership with DuckDuckGo could further underscore your dedication to user privacy.

I appreciate your consideration of these suggestions and look forward to seeing your continued innovation and reaction to my notes. Enhancing accessibility features not only supports inclusivity but could also attract new users and potentially open up advertising opportunities. I am eager to share more ideas in the future and would be delighted to contribute to your mission in any way possible.

Best regards,

Seth Noreman [edited phone# from public community support forum]

P.S. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. I am also available to help create promotional materials or tutorial videos on how to use these accessibility features, leveraging my background in digital art and my unique perspective as an adult with autism.

Thank you for your time.

Greetings. I bought a new phone and downloaded the latest version of FF for Android. I use Private Browsing mode on both phines. This new version has the Search Suggestions from Boommarks and I don't like it. It's too distracting for me. My question: How do I turn it off? Thank you.

I have added (as a start) some web shortcuts to my Firefox Focus home screen. However, they are cut off, so I can only see the top part of the label. I can work out what they are but what happens when I add more shortcuts? How can I see the whole shortcut and label, please? I'm using Android version 14.
