FF Android won't rename downloaded pictures

More specifically, it will download a few images by renumbering, but will then stop at (2) and save over the last downloaded image rather than continuing to number. I did not have this issue with Chrome, as it would continue to raise the number.

Example: Save Image > pop-up reads "Congrats, unknown.png saved!" > repeat, pop-up reads "unknown.png (1) saved!" > repeat for unknown.png (2) >repeat, but still get unknown.png (2), with the last image now saved over with the new image.

This is especially frustrating, as even after I move images to a new folder, rather than restarting or continuing the numbers it will continue to save over image (2). I work with a site that saves a lot of temporary images so the names are usually bland like this, I would appreciate FF continuing the numbering past (2) or allowing me to rename a file if it plans to overwrite.

Lastest update added the "pull to refresh" gesture but i dont like that. Please add a option to disable it. Also, I close a tab and exit the program, when I reopen firefox, the tab comes back. Finally, it is not good for the Firefox account mail address to appear in the Firefox menu, it would be better to write "Firefox Account" instead of mail. (Sorry for my poor english, I used some translation.)

What files must I edit from Firefox's Github repo to add wireless keyboard support for mobile/AOSP? I waited over a decade for code that should take a half hour to write.

Cheap wireless keyboards came out a decade ago, but mobile had no support, so I thought "okay, it will just take a few weeks." But weeks became years. Over a decade passed, still no progress. I will do it for you for free if you let me. If the problem was Firefox, I would just switch to Chrome, but building Chromium for Android is even harder and it also needs patched to get keyboard support.

I have used Firefox on Android for years and at some point, it updated and all of a sudden none of my addons were compatible.

A couple of those were incredibly useful. For instance, I do not use the Facebook app, I only access it through the web. Until the change, I had a brilliant Facebook ad blocker that worked wonders. Now, that blocker will not work.

There is no alternative available (except to revert to using Chrome who did not ruin compatibility).

What have others done?

Installing the app is not an option. Hard stop.

Is it possible for me to revert to the last prior version that actually worked with addons?

I want to see all web pages in desktop view, without having to change the setting for each page I go to. This is an option in other popular browsers. Why not this one?

And please don't tell me why mobile view is better or why I don't really need the feature I'm asking for. I know what I want. And I know exactly why I want it. And I know I'm not the only one who wants it. in July 2021 someone asked for the same thing and Paul replied, "This is something that we are currently working on and hope to include in a future update very soon (it is currently in our Nightly version while it is being tested)." A year and a half later, it's still not available, including (as far as I can see) in the Nightly version. Yet in both instances of this feature being requested, the topic is marked "Solved" and archived. I guess the "solution" is to ignore what users want and force us to use the product in the way you think we should. Very Apple/Google of you!

Between this, no ability to export bookmarks from mobile, and very limited extension support, I'm finding myself ready to give a very bad rating in the play store and switch to another browser.

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!!

The very old architectural version of FFA had a plugin that enabled viewing image ToolTips by long-pressing an image. That plugin was not supported in the newer FFA.

Since then, I have to turn on my PC to use FFW to see them with the mouse.

IMHO, FFA is missing very basic functionality that I've patiently waited years to return to the newest FFA, but to no sucess.

Thank you.

Hi It seems the latest ff update for iOS now shows a dialogue (not sure what the correct name is) every time I close a tab. The dialogue is “Tab Closed Undo”. It appears for a few seconds and then disappears. Much in the same fashion as every time take a photo on my iPhone there is a thumbnail of the pic I just took.

I absolutely hate these things. I either have to wait until they go away on their own or I have to waste time swiping them away. I know Mozilla is only responsible for the Tab Closed Undo dialogue.

Is there someway I can disable this new “feature”?

Thanks so much.

Even though Recently Visited is turned off I have lots and lots of recently visited sites showing up on my homepage. I have to manually remove them to clear the homepage. How do I make it stop showing all this clutter?

It happens on both me and my girlfriends phones, so I guess either something is wrong with the setting or it doesn't do what I think it is supposed to do.

See screenshots for example.

Hey, Firefox, here are two things that need to be developed/produced/made-to-happen. The ability to: 1) When watching a playlist on YouTube, on full screen, there is currently no button to skip ahead (or go backward) to the next video in the playlist. We have to inconveniently "come out of" full screen to skip ahead (or go back to the previous) to the next video, and then of course re-engage full screen. I'd think by now, in 2023, you could have developed that. You should make Firefox on Android as close to the way the actual YouTube app operates as possible. 2) When in YouTube, the comments, guys...obviously you know you only offer the option to view the comment section as what YouTube calls "Top comments" but you currently don't offer the option to switch to the "Newest first" view. Come on, guys. We should have that option by now in Firefox mobile browser.

Thanks.

And I'm not interested in any stupid people or trolls replying to this. It's just feedback for the Mozilla Firefox company.

Firefox Mobile suggests passwords based on TLD. On desktop version, we can go to `about:config` and set `signon.includeOtherSubdomainsInLookup = false` to only suggest the exact subdomain.

How can we achieve this on Firefox for Android?
