Is Mozilla EVER going to add FIDO2 to Android?

Firefox Mobile is the only major browser that I am aware of that does not support FIDO2 U2F logins. I have seen TONS of requests and complaints about it not being supported, with the general answer being "tough s**t, deal with it." If Firefox cannot adequately support industry standard security practices it should be removed from the market. Using Firefox on Android explicitly reduces the amount of security your sessions have vs Chrome or Edge due to the failure of this feature to work. Firefox on Android is basically useless from a security point of view. Fix it or discontinue it. You either need to embrace security standards or stop making browsers.

Hi Firefox Team,

I think it is time for firefox to provide adblock as a default functionality or a feature where user can enable or disable. I see brave browser has that functionality by default. why doesn't firefox offer this aspart of it. Instead of I installing additional application or extension to block ads.

Could you please consider this in the next release?

Thanks,

When I want to scroll up to see the top of a webpage by swiping down, often instead of excelling the page it starts or completes the little circular arrow indicating it is taking my input as a request to refresh the page.

This is infuriating.

If you reload with the resize event of the window, you will fall into the phenomenon of repeating reload forever.

Firefox for Android has a bug-like phenomenon that you can't see in other web browsers, Edge, Chrome, Opera, or Firefox for Win and Linux. This phenomenon occurs in Firefox for Android regardless of whether "desktop site" is "on" or "off" (*1).

  • 1: Not tested with browsers other than the above. I haven't tried Firefox for iOS either.

The phenomenon is a bug that if you reload in the resize event processing of the window, it will be reloaded permanently until you stop processing or close the browser. A simple code like the one below does this:

<script defer> window. addEventListener( "resize", () => { // The result is the same even if it is controlled by flags, etc. location.reload(); }, false ); </script>

RESIZE & RELOAD

Please improve!

I WAS IN THE PROCESS BECOMING A MEMBER OF Credit Fresh. When I was directed to connect, the following message came up,

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue. Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to links.creditfresh.com because this website requires a secure connection. What can be done to get this to function? links.creditfresh.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. Notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Firefox, Thanks for your help. - Lennart Wingardh

Whenever I choose the Dark Theme for the app's user interface (Options > Customize > Theme: Dark), it also changes all the webpages I view making them dark as well, which I don't want, and didn't ask for.

How do I prevent this from happening while still maintaining the dark theme for the app itself?

The website I'm using most is 9gag.com

I can get the website to load again by choosing exit in Firefox to clear out all my data, then re-opening Firefox and logging in from scratch.

It will just hang on load screen, usually what you see before data begins to load.

I can reproduce it by removing Firefox from recents, then launching it again and re-opening the existing tab, or even a new one.
