I found that deleting an entry from a collection is WAY too easy. If you accidentally 'bump' swipe left OR right, or bump the X icon, it is instantly deleted. I don't know how many times I have done that, and often don't even remember what entry I ACCIDENTALLY deleted.

Is there any way to minimize the ways an entry is deleted, or enable some form of delete verification? If not, it needs to be added for a future update.

Hey I'm using FF for android (v103) I know I can set FF to open links in external apps or to open links in FF. The problem starts when I want to open some links in FF and some in the external app.

For example: I like the way YouTube is played in FF and want YouTube links to stay in FF, while messanger.com links don't work at all in FF and I want to open them in messanger app.

Can I configure this to happen automatically? Choose which links opened externally and which not?

Hello.

Every time I click on my shortcuts, a new tab opens.  Opened tabs accumulate during the day and cause the browser to slow down.
Is it possible for me to open shortcuts on the same page without opening different tabs?
For example: When I click on the twitter shortcut from the login page while on the Facebook page, is it possible to enter Twitter on the same page without opening a new tab?

Icons and Installed Web Sites Disappear on Reboot

Hello Mozilla,

I've seen this posted before, but no answers. I have Android 11, and recently, when I do a reboot, or power down the device entirely and power it back up, all the Installed Web Sites and "Add to my Home Screen" icons disappear.

I do have Firefox to remove all history upon exit, but that history should not include installed bookmarks and "Add to my Home Screen" options.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround other than switching off this setting? Is there a logged feature or bug request to handle this properly?

Thanks,

Larry

Firefox android can't put a shortcut to Piped on my home page?

I originally was able to create the home page shortcut to Piped with Chrome, but the shortcut launched Chrome, even though Firefox is my default browser?

Piped [https://piped.kavin.rocks/https://pip.../|Piped]

So I deleted the shortcut. Now, Chrome no longer even offers me the option to "Add to Home Screen" from the Piped page, but it still does for other sites. Within Chrome, It now offers me the option to open the page in Firefox, even if I make Chrome the default browser.

How can I get a shortcut to Piped on my home page that will open in Firefox?

I have set my Galaxy S22 to use dark mode in the evening. Firefox doesn't seem to realize that it has changed to dark mode. Right now I can choose follow device theme and it goes to light mode, even while the phone is in dark mode. Choosing dark mode makes it dark. Choosing follow device theme makes it light again.

I tried to toggle dark mode off and on in my phone while in the Firefox settings menu was open and now Firefox shows dark theme while follow device theme is selected. I think the same happened yesterday as well.

Maybe Firefox has trouble registering that the phone switches theme on a schedule.

Tell me when is Material You going to roll out on any of your android browsers. It's all about privacy, sure, that's why I value your app, but you're one of a few apps never updating with the theme on my pixel and for this reason I've stopped using your app until you update on of ANY of your mobile browsers (except for Focus) with this icon style. I need to know, when and which app (I don't care if it's beta, just tell me). Thanks.
