About:config will not work for me I get either a blank screen or it just goes back to prev screen. Also when I check devices logged in, I will log out of everything, then only log in to Mozilla support and it showed 3 logins in the picture I've attached. 1 for moz support, 1 for Firefox 109 android 12, and 1 for my phone build wingtech. Which I also don't understand because I own a metro PCs service carrier and the actual phone is a TMobile revvl 6 pro 5g. I also noticed that somehow my phone had a custom build version ROM on it and I never downloaded that to my phone so everything should be totally stock. So I don't understand. Can anyone help?

Hi there So the issue that I have (on Samsung S21 Ultra Android Firefox with integrated DuckDuckGo as search engine) is that I repeatedly press the back button after I finished with the website and Firefox would not go beyond (exit the browser) the homepage/homescreen. I love Firefox and added security, privacy and integration between devices but this homescreen thing is causing me enough irritation to make me move to another browser. So my question is are the a way for me to not have a homescreen? I have tried your help section and went through the options but no luck I also have turn everything off in homepage subsection but still no luck. I would like Firefox to work (in this instance) like other browsers which is if you continuously press the back button you will eventually exit the program/application (Chrome and Samsung Internet works like that)

Sincerely Jan

This is not about the lack of ability to print a webpage from the browser, but that when scheduling an appointment and you have a print button on the page once you're set, the button shows you've touched it, but nothing is generated. I had both DMV appointment made as well as another site where there was something you could print a copy of and both sites had the same issue. I can tell it was registering that I had touched the button, but NOTHING happened. I finally broke down and opened Chrome and the button generated the option for me to print.

I added a search engine. I had the right %s URL string. When I added it, Firefox Focus said "make sure you replace the search string with %s". That made me think it was checking the URL, so I added https:// in front, BUT I accidentally removed the first letter of the URL. It let me add it, but then searches didn't work. It letting me use the typo implies it doesn't check the URL.

A novice user may not realize that the error really means "add https://" not the catch-all "check your %s". Not sure where to report bugs, so I'm adding it here.

The workflow to fix my typo could also be improved upon. It's dark-pattern adjacent to have to go in to search settings, change the default to another engine (assuming there is one), get kicked back to main settings, then have to go back to search engines, remove the one you added, then add it again. Could be fixed by having Focus actually try the URL when adding one. I think adding offline would be a very infrequent use case, but you could make it prompt "Hey, I can't load this URL are you sure you want to add it?"

I'd love to have a feature where I can choose to open all my synced tabs on a new device at once instead of having it as a list under synced, as it would look on the original device I have them opened on. Maybe have that option to open all tabs under synced.

Thanks, Judy

I think it was the update to 1:15, but I'm not certain when the search engines I had disabled were unable to again. I don't understand why I can't delete, for example, Bing and eBay which I will never ever use, but to have to disable them adventuresjust because I update Firefox, seems ridiculous.

Suggestion: Why isn't there a <|> sort of tool to navigate (<) backward or forward (>) somewhere on a screen permanently fixed? I can't possibly be the only person in the world who isn't enabled to perform the function while using Firefox, right? Can someone build that little function, please.

Also, the video downloaders offered through add-ons+ really suck. Can someone build and add-on+ to effectively download video, please. Used to be just press on the screen and a vid would download nowadays it's impossible to figure out or I'm stupid and it's too complicated.

Thanks Firefox you're the BEST!!
