Turning off the "Automatically delete browsing history" feature often doesn't allow you to delete "Recently visited tabs." It seems that tab history generated from manually closed bookmarks can't be deleted through this feature either。Hope it can be fixed

I asked AI and this is what it gave me.

Failed Handshake: Recent reports regarding Firefox Mobile version 148.0.1 suggest a regression where the browser fails to trigger the system-level pop-up for passkeys. Instead of showing you the "Use fingerprint/PIN" prompt, it either hangs indefinitely or defaults to a "Passkey required" screen that you cannot bypass. ​System Conflict: There are indications that the March 2026 Android security update may have changed how third-party browsers request "Nearby Bluetooth" permissions for passkeys, which Firefox has not yet fully adapted to.

I'm using a Pixel 10 Pro XL updated to the latest March software update and made sure Firefox mobile was up to date on the Play Store.

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

Firefox on Android can't find microphone

Heya, I'm having trouble getting my microphone to work in Firefox on android. I'm using a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Android 16, One UI 8) and tried both the regular version of Firefox and Nightly, the latter being my regular one, 'cause the UI is just better on a tablet. The regular one was a fresh install, so the issue shouldn't be corrupt cache or anything like that. I've given the app the Microphone permission in the android settings, it also asks for microphone permissions when using any site that requests it, but when I check site-specific permissions via the lil shield icon, there's no microphone. It's like Firefox thinks I have no mic at all. Not the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed bluetooth headset I'm using, nor the tab's own. When disconnecting the headset, it still won't find the tab's own mic. Any other app works just fine, though, and webcam also works. I tried a few matrix clients, discord web, some webrtc and mic test sites... Seems to be Firefox, not specific sites nor android in general.

Anyone got any clue what might be going on there?

I use Firefox browser on Treasury Direct website to calculate, update, and save the US paper bond values. It was working in October until converting to Windows 11. I am using Firefox version 147.0.1 It has not worked since then. Treasury Direct states that Firefox browser should be used to perform this function. Why isn't it working.

The primary issue I keep running into is that when I consume media within the browser, say browsing reddit or watching movies, the cache seems to fill up quickly to around about 500mb, and the crap hits the fan. Webpages don't load, error messages show up, tabs stop responding and become unusable, videos become irretrievable or buffer continuously, it sucks. I have it set to clear my cache when I quit from the menu but that doesn't work. So every time the app starts having an aneurysm I go into settings, force quit, and clear the cache. Firefox is the only browser I use, but because of this I'm no longer committed to it, I will happily trade it for something better when it comes along. I expect nothing to change.

I want it back on top not like it is in the screenshot, how do I get it back the way it was. why do you keep changing things not everybody wants to change and then you just change it for everyone without even giving the option to not change it it's ridiculous. If I can't move it back I'll be switching browsers.
