I'm noticing some inconsistent (and irritating) behavior when tapping the urlbar in Firefox for Android. I have noticed 3 distinct options, either it will highlight the entire url as expected, will only highlight the tail end of the url (after the initial /), or it will not highlight anything.

Is there a setting to configure this behavior?

Cannot get my phone's default DNS resolver to be used by Firefox. My network has an intranet complete with it's own DNS, which my phone's receives via DHCP. Android 'Private DNS' is turned off. The routing on my network is fine, as evidenced by being able to access my intranet from other mobile browsers on the same device. All add-ons are turned off, as well as 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'HTTPS-Only Mode'. Any explanations, or more importantly, suggestions?

Hi, I noticed that I'm getting YouTube suggestions that seem to be based on my Firefox focus browsing. I'm using android. I installed the duck duck go app, it's app tracking protection feature is showing that Firefox focus is sharing cookie data with Google. I'm a bit surprised by this as I thought by default Firefox focus was preventing this kind of thing.

Am I miss understanding? What cookie data does Firefox focus on android share with Google?

Thanks in advance

Recently, I'm having an issue where the browser page freezes when loading any site showing a blank screen or sometimes when it does load, nothing is interactable in the page meaning it still froze but the app itself still works and can be interacted.

The only way to un-freeze the browser page is to back out of the app without exiting it to device home and open the app again. This needs to be repeated when changing tabs as well.

This concerns the "about:config" setting, namely "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground", which was available for configuration in earlier versions of Firefox Mobile for Android.

The process is probably best described here, but the solution is out of reach:

Open Links in the Background with Firefox for Android

Please, advise me whether it is indeed still possible to achieve the desired result, and how to do so?

Thank you.

Tab/Page randomly goes blank when opening firefox from recent apps. Page is just black screen, can't be refreshed, also address bar does not works while that tab is focused (clicking enter simply does nothing, it's still only blank page). Only way to fix is close that page and open it again from new tab, of course content on that page is lost.

Whenever I close a tab in Firefox (on Android), and close the app, when I open the app again later, the closed tab is back in my open tabs list and will keep reappearing there for a several more attempts to close it. It finally seems to stick and stops reappearing. This happens consistently all the time and has been happening for me than a year.

In both desktop and mobile versions of Firefox you can enable "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed". On Desktop you can click "Manage Exceptions..." to whitelist specific sites.

This feature appears to be missing on Android. Is this planned? Is there an about:config method to manage these exclusions?

I am using the Nightly version on Android.

In Find and install Add-ons on Firefox for Android, the author described the method to update addons: update Firefox and the addons will be auto-updated. That, however, didn't take place when I update. The addons haven't ever been updated since the first installation! And I believe my network is always stable. Could you please tell me how to update my addons manually? Uninstalling them and then reinstalling surely solve the issue, but bother and cause the loss of my settings.

Hello there,

I'm using the browser mainly to watch charts on dexscreener or dextools. As you can see in the attached documents, on opera it behaves as it should. On Mull however, there's nothing you can read. I deleted any kind of addon even tried switching multiple settings in about:config regarding JavaScript .nothing helped. Reinstalled the app,the issue is still there. Any clue what can be done or should I use a different browser for this cause? Will it act the same way for most of the websites with similar requirements? In case it will,I would need to get rid of it. Thanks for the help

I'm trying to go to the URL "http://192.168.31.8:32004". Instead it searches, which of course has no hits. I'm baffled as to why Firefox would search when the address bar contains a valid URL. And no, I'm not hitting the search button. I hitting on-screen keyboard's right arrow, which is my only other choice. I have tried turning off all address bar options in settings with no effect.

The only solution I have found is to use a different browser. Chrome has no problem going to this URL when asked.

When I open videos in full screen the notifications bar stays a blank white while in light mode, and grey in dark mode. There is nothing in the bar, it is just a different colour than the video's black bars. I have tried all manner of resetting and toggling with add-ons and setting, within the app and on my phone. Is there any way of getting rid of the bar?

I see the very noticeable Android navigation bar blink while opening a keyboard from the Firefox address bar. Unfortunately, this bug persist in the Stable, Beta and Nightly Firefox versions both on my Nothing Phone and Pixel 7 Pro.

Firefox is the only app with such behavior on these devices.

Hello guys, greetings!

Firefox for Android is pretty cool, however, when I change for another app and I come back to the browser, it reloads the pages. It's annoying when you need to paste external information (I must to fill a form again or whatever activity). Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you so much in advance!

Experiencing a peculiar issue with the latest version of Firefox for Android where search tabs get duplicated – notably, this problem is exclusive to Firefox and not observed in Firefox Beta. This duplication occurs when searching through the address bar – the first tab is the clicked link, and the second is a duplicate of the search page. Clicking on a link in the second tab leads to further duplications. This problem is more noticeable with Google searches in the search bar, but typing google.com and searching seems to works fine. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that this duplication issue extends to DuckDuckGo and Bing when searching via the address bar. It's a bit complex, as not all search links trigger the duplication, but most do. Any insights or solutions would be appreciated!
