I'm a regular user of Firefox Focus on Android and enjoy it very much.

I also tend to use swipe-style keyboard input on my phone and that automatically adds a space after each word that has been swiped. If I want to go to "reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful" then the easiest way for me to type this into the URL bar with swiping results in:

   Reddit. com /r/data is beautiful

Due to the automatic space insertion at various places.

If the browser could see that this string of characters/words without spaces produces a valid URL then it could suggest that as an entry to click on beneath the URL bar.

I think this is small but useful feature. I recognise that there might be complexities that I haven't considered. As it is not specific to Firefox Focus, I'd be happy to see it in Firefox too. I realise also that it is providing special behaviour to cater to people that use swipe input and not everyone uses swipe input but at the same time it doesn't seem crazy to have for people that don't use swipe input but somehow find themselves with an accidental space in there.

Thanks!

I had found the most important article for my project, got delayed before I could save it or bookmark it, and when I returned to my phone Focus had deleted my browser history. I have searched online for that article to no avail. Is there any way of recovering it, software or data recovery? Please help and thank you!

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you for the effort you are putting in making Firefox browser better, and more secure.

After using Firefox Focus for couple of hours, I found that some of the feature I am using in the desktop browser are missing:

1. I could not find a way to create a new tab and type a new URL. 2. I can pin only four shortcuts inside Firefox.

Thanks Sandra

Hello,

Please let me know if there is a way to activate the "Erase" icon (bottom-right corner of the screen) from the old version on this new version of the browser.

Focus is an amazing browser. But that button was very handy.

Thank you,

Have a great day!

I feel like this would be a better approach to adblockinv on Firefox Focus. I love this browser but it's built-in adblocker will often block important elements by mistake, or leave out certain things. Ublock Origin is a very powerful and memory effecient adblocker already part of the main Android app. It's more intuitive to use, has lists which are constantly updated and it can block elements with an element picker. I'm suggesting for it to be used instead as I think it'd be a much better approach to adblocking on Firefox Focus. What do you think?

There wasn't an option to provide feedback on Firefox Focus for Android, so I have to write here.

I am wondering if changing the position of the toolbar could be made a reality, just like how it was on Firefox for Android Beta.

Hi. I was searching FireFox Focus and I couldn't save an interesting URL I found, since I closed the browser by mistake.

Is there any way to recover it? I know the point is that FireFox deletes you data, but I'm trying my best. Thank you very much.
