Firefox for Android intermittently gets stuck in landscape orientation after the app has been in the background and is resumed. This does not happen every time, but occurs frequently enough to be noticeable during normal daily use. Once stuck, the orientation does not recover automatically. Note:

Happens only after switching to another app and returning later Does not happen on fresh app launch System auto-rotate continues to work in other apps Sensors appear to work correctly

Recovery The only reliable way to recover is: Force closing Firefox from Recents Reopening the app

Device: Samsung Galaxy S25 OS: Android 16 One UI: 8 Firefox version : latest as on playstore Navigation: Gesture navigation Auto-rotate enabled system-wide

Hi!

Suddenly the entire UI of the browser has changed. I have a big bar at the bottom of the screen taking far too much space with buttons I hardly ever need. And when I do need them I know where to find them. Thus they need not be as available as that (read: constantly in the way). It's not enough that it goes away when I scroll down as it pops up as soon as I scroll up again, along with the address bar.

How do I remove this bottom bar? The older UI was far better and didn't take this much space.

Thanks!

I use a Galaxy A21. It still has the OEM Samsung browser.

What can I use that isn't Goole.

I can tap the menu button (Three dots at top right of the screen). A menu appears, but there is no "Sync and save your data".

In Firefox Mobile app... When I click Print option (for print pdf) It opens default printing app and it opens default letter format with header footer automatically added to the page

There is no option to remove header footer (this only appears in Firefox print...)

2nd problem is when I switch to landscape print it just shrink the letter size to the left and right half page is blank... Not responsive.. not automatically fits to the paper size... You can check the attachment for visuals of the problem.. Please fix this adjustment and header footer link problem or provide built it browser printer for custom printing options before launching the printing app.

Firefox "DECIDED" to translate my pages into Spanish. And it won't stop. No simple way to select IF, and WHEN, the user wants translation. Without a simple user controlled solution, the user CAN DELETE FIREFOX.

Why? Because I once went to the Costco site in Merida, Mexico to purchase a gift ????

Is this another nail in the Firefox coffin....upgrades that remove useful tools.....endless "tech" options poorly explained for the non tech head user....language changes not requested by the user, triggered in a highly thoughtless and foolish way that cannot be easily removed? Perhaps some Mozilla tech staff are secretly "employed" to promote other browser???
