Hi!

There has been this weird text overlap whenever I use google image search in Firefox Android, I've tried: - Restarting the app - Reinstalling the app - Updating to the latest version (107.2.0)

But still the issue persists.

This only occurs on google image search in Firefox. This doesn't happen in Chrome and not on other search engines inside Firefox.

Any idea what might happen and how to fix this?

Firefox used to work fine for me on iOs. At some point, pages stopped loading at all: the progress bar would make it to just under the (crossed-out) lock symbol on the left side of the address bar, and just stop there (but still flash). This happens for every website. All the other browsers work fine (DuckDuckGo, Chrome, Safari, etc.) - only Firefox does this.

I've tried clearing my data and restarting Firefox, but neither strategy works.

Using firefox's version of Facebook, when viewing a comment on a post I've made, the comment is cut off at the bottom. It seems like that particular page is not being formatted correctly. I cannot scroll up anymore to reveal it. See the attached image.

Why does Firefox insist that I use the mobile YouTube?

This problem has kept annoying me for months now: When I load my youtube subscriptions page on my tablet, Firefox keeps kicking me over to the mobile site (m.youtube.com instead of www.youtube.com) which is bloody annoying. Changing the m to www manually will do me no good, it gets changed back to m as soon as i hit enter. Turning on the desktop site switch in the menu will only work temporarily, it's only a matter of time before I get kicked back to the mobile site. It's not a question of IF it happens, it's a question of WHEN it happens.

The thing is that this ONLY happens with youtube in Firefox on my tablet, but not in Firefox on my phone, my computer or other websites, and it does not happen in opera on the tablet either. That tells me that it is a Firefox problem (maybe some setting?), not a YouTube problem.

So why does Firefox do this, and how can I stop it?

PS. It's the latest version of Firefox on a galaxy tab s2 running Android 7. No, updating to a newer version of Android is not an option :-( Thanks, Samsung!

Hello Firefox Focus seems to have display issues when “Zoomed” view is selected in the ‘Display Zoom’ setting. Settings->Display & Brightness->Display Zoom The favourite icon spacing is misaligned (especially if you have 4 favourites), as well as the text items overlap on the main app screen. Some web sites also run off screen right. Thank you.

Firefox has been my default browser, but when I click on a link in an email newsletter, for example, often I get to the Firefox homepage instead of the link. I have to click a second time to get the linked page itself. When I search with Firefox and click on a link, I may get there, but if I try to go back to the search page, the page crashes and I'm taken to the Firefox home page. I fear I will lose my saved passwords if I uninstall and reinstall--is there any alternative?

Hello,

Firefox began to act very slow on my Pixel phone. I have worked on the issue the last two days. I called Norton and ran my Norton scanner several times; I am told my phone is using toouch memory from Norton yet I have no virus. I disabled Google and the phone is better. There is a problem with the Google update that Google is either not acknowledging or does not know how to fix. I re-installed Firefox. Now I can go to the Yahoo.com website. When I click to login into Yahoo mail the webpage crashes and reads that Mozilla cannot open this page. I have never had this problem before. I am able to open the login page using the Chrome browser. I wonder if there is a default security setting from when I re-installed Firefox that I should deselect? I seem to be able to use all other parts of Firefox. I clicked on the button to send Mozilla the crash reports information. Thank you for helping me.

Recently on my older iPad (5th generation) whenever I do an image search and click on a highlighted image (any highlighted image) or the corresponding thumbnail link, doing so always and only results in a blank page. If however, I choose the option to open the image in a new tab, then and only then does the search go to the desired site. All the other search options seem to work fine.

I have cleared my caches and deleted my histories to no avail. Removing and reinstalling Firefox did not help. Rebooting didn’t do it either. Have I caught a malware that my antivirus protection has failed to detect? Is it a bug in the app?

I’m stumped.

I am using firefox v112.1.0 on a pixel 4a 5g (Android 13).

Websites fail to load about 70% of the time (the progress bar just hangs indefinitely). This isue is present regardless of whether or not I have any extensions enabled.

If I press the "stop loading" button then "refresh" enough times, eventually I'll get lucky and the website will load.

It haapens in all browsers and is intermittent.

I contacted the BBC and they just said sorry and offered no explanation. My DNS settings are 8.8.8.8. & 8.8.4.4

Dear People,

On one particular site "emp.money" a "Launch Dapp" pop-up keeps reappearing every time I go to the site. It's supposed to disappear after the first time I agree to the terms but it doesn't. I have to agree to the terms in the pop-up every time before it lets me into the site.

I'm at a loss. I don't know how to get rid of this pop-up. Please help.

I am using firefox 106.1 on a S22. Since the update whenever i open a website, all i see is black canvas. I have to either open another tab and switch back to the the website for it to render or minimise Firefox, open another app and switch back. Once the website is showing, the session gets normal and i dont see the problem till i exit the browser. This has been happening only after the update. Any clues please how to resolve this?
