  1. 1. I want to able to change the order of the tabs, for I'm unable to really use the browser this way. Chrome and 1DM both have the ability to change the order of the tabs by holding each one and moving it above or after a specific tab.
  2. 2. Another thing is to remove the full-screen notification in the bottom, or add a setting that makes it go away faster when someone toggles the full screen on a video player.

Hello guys, I've recently began using firefox on android. Upon opening a new tab, firefox automatically opens the search bar, and I'm just wondering if there's an option or a dev flag to disable that. I'd rather be looking at my original new tab page.

The android version of firefox should follow the "system" for its auto dark mode instead of following the "battery saver". Just like chrome and other chromium browsers do.

The major advantage this gives is that it allows even older android version users to experience auto dark mode, since there are ways for them to initiate system wide dark mode through 3rd party apps (like this one for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=systems.maju.darkmode&hl=en&gl=US) But since Firefox follows battery saver, this never works on android version lower than 10.

Therefore, I'd like to request the developers to implement the uato dark mode in firefox android to follow the system instead of the battery saver status.

double tap to zoom doesn't work

I miss two features from using Chrome on Android. Your help file says "double tap with a single finger to zoom" should work, but double tapping to zoom in or out doesn't work. At least not on my phone. But it does work in Chrome.

The other features is to swipe down at the top of a page to refresh it. I use this feature a lot and feel like it would be pretty easy to implement.

Without the zoom working I will probably switch back to Chrome. Which is unfortunate because I use Firefox on my desktop.

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

Pull-down to refresh is *awfully* annoying. It is extremely easy to trigger it when zooming in/out trying to see detail in a photo. If cellular connectivity is poor, it is more annoying.

The reported method to disable this feature appears to have been remvoed: Settings -> Customize -> Gestures -> Pull to refresh.

Please restore this option.

I want to open multiple pages at the same time in Android 12, but Firefox for Android does not seem to support multi-instance (like in the attached image). I also tried beta and nightly but none of them worked either. As other browser apps (Chrome, Edge, Samsung, etc.) support it, I switched my default browser app to Samsung internet on Android (temporarily).

I don't want to use multiple apps (Stable, beta and nightly) just for opening multiple pages in a single screen. Is there any plan to support multi-instance in the future version of Firefox?

I'm a physical keyboard user for Android and find it impossible to use Firefox, there doesn't seem to be any documentation on simple keyboard shortcuts for access the addressbar or menubar, getting to search in the page, or access fine-grained tools for navigation like there is on the desktop version.

Where are these features documented? The Android Talkback feature doesn't cut it for me.
