Can you please add more padding around the purple 'Add' button (with the star icon) for adding bookmarks on Firefox for Android?

Currently it needs to be pressed very precisely and I'm always opening the existing bookmarks (which I don't want) instead of adding a bookmark (which I do want).

Thank you.

Send to device doesn't show device name if browser name is too long

I have 2 laptops, where I installed Firefox Developer Edition, and I have the same account both in the OSes and in the browsers.

I cannot distinguish between 2 Send to device options as the option name is so long it gets cut off (see attachment, PC account name photoshopped out, but it's very short: 6 characters)

How can I make the team at Firefox be made aware of this so that it can be fixed?

Persistent desktop mode toggle

Desktop mode works fine, once you enable it. But if you leave the window, close the tab or let the tab suspend it defaults back to the mobile version which gets annoying fast. With that said, a feature that allows firefox to load the tab in desktop mode persistently when toggled should be implemented. Even better on a per site basis instead of globally.

I've seen several posts that ask for the same thing as this one. These go as far back as 2020 which makes me feel like they've completely forgotten about or dropped adding this feature.

And yes I've tried looking for addons to do this but I got nothing.

Choice needed: It's ridiculous that in 2024 in the era of huge screen tablets and phones, we are still knocked back to mobile view again and again and again. If you love mobile view and you love the bigger icons, fine! I'll go get you a juice box and you'll have a great day. But some people don't. I just want default to desktop as an OPTION. Is it so hard to understand?

Hi,

Thanks for your great privacy-focused browser.

Could you add the option to disable built-in root CA? It would be helpful for us to minimize the risk of MitM attack and other security or privacy threats.

Not all CAs are trustworthy. Some are mismanaged like DigiNotar while some others are malicious like StartCom which was used to perform MitM to intercept communications to Google. However, it would be too late when such events are discovered unless we provide a way to prevent it.

As I know, there are still some CAs out there pose potential threats to security. Some even have got EV treatment.

Best Regards, Thomas Lewis

I see archived threads from two years ago asking why there is no longer a 'Save as PDF' function. What is the status of this almost universal browser function? I've used Firefox for PC always going back to Netscape, and really want to like and use Firefox Android.

It would be nice if Firefox supported dual screens on Android. I have a Surface Duo and the other browsers allow me to run one tab on each screen. There's an option in each of the browsers to "open tab on other screen" so you can do side by side browsing. Firefox doesn't have this feature.


https://devblogs.microsoft.com/surface-duo/android-12l-foldable-developers/

"Dual-screen libraries

Take advantage of our developer and designer resources at learn.microsoft.com/dual-screen including the library of dual-screen layouts that includes: FolableLayout, Snackbar, BottomNavigation, FoldableNavigation, and the latest NavigationRail component.

To see the user experiences possible on foldable devices, download the Dual Screen Experience Example from Google Play (or get the source). "

Hello all,

I had been using firefox as the standard browser for years, but since the DNS-over-HTTPS feature I have had trouble with protecting my family on the web via DNS filtering. Currently the only solution that has worked is to use a different browser (the Spin browser, for whoever is interested). I have Firefox blocked using the Android family link feature (and they can't install new apps without permission). Personally, I would love to move everyone back to Firefox, but I can't find a way to do it safely. Is there a way to effectively disable DNS-over-HTTPS such that it can't be changed (kids are pretty quick at figuring out that they can just go to the settings and figuring out that they can turn the feautre back on). A parental control feature would be ideal, so I can just set the DNS-over-HTTPS to use the family DNS filter in a way they can't turn it off. Does anyone have an helpful solution, or is Firefox dead for family protection?

Respectfully, Andrew

I am writing this feedback to just show my appreciation to firefox for being the best and the safest browser. I was almost scammed in a particular site but kudos to firefox for detecting it and informed me. Firefox is the best browser ever.

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.
