In the recent update, there is a new feature which allowed people to view pdf directly in the browser rather than downloading it. Ever since this was implemented, I am not able to download any pdf, instead it keeps opening up the pdf in another tab which is not what I'm trying to do. Is there a way to fix this?

I have FF installed on my Android, but can only get to it by tapping SETTINGS/APPS/Firefox. I am unable to create an icon or 'shortcut' to reside on the Android's home screen where it would be most convenient. Has anyone experienced issues of this nature or have any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

Any and all input is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance...

I need to do local admin work on the router in my motorhome. Not surpisingly, its admin is on 192.168.0.1:80. Everything I type gets sent to Google search instead. How can I just enter a IP address without going to a Internet search engine. Just tell me it's easy in the latest Firefox for Android and I'll finally update LOL. Currently on Firefox 68.11.0 on Samsung Android 9

Hello everybody, I use Firefox for some days now, but I'm a little annoyed with the back button / back gesture usage with tabs. On all browsers I already tried, pressing back button finally close the tab after going back to the first website opened. But with Firefox, it only go to home and let the website open without closing taba. So we have to often close manually opened tabs. Is there a way to change that please ? Sorry for my bad english, I hope it's clear.

Thanks in advance.

I normally have Dark Mode always enabled.

This week it's constantly switching to "Follow Device Theme" which then makes it the Light theme.

Interestingly, my phone's theme is also set to Dark mode so the Follow setting doesn't appear to work.

Thanks!

Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

I want to disable private browsing so it's not easy to use.

We all know what we do on private browsing and I want to put up as many roadblocks as possible to prevent that. You and I both know that 99% of the private browsing isn't banking or Christmas gift shopping.

Adding this feature in the settings has the potential to make your browser extremely popular amongst those of us who want to live better lives. It would be free advertising, and I know many people who would make the switch to Firefox as a result. Maybe only make it available in your Beta, if that's what you'd prefer.

Thank you for your consideration.
