Hello!

It would be nice to go back to the old style of the management of the Shortcuts in the browsers homepage. The new style was a regression. Let the browser user decide what style he likes.

And, - allow moving (sorting) the Shortcut links within the homepage (per drag and drop), - allow more than two Shortcut separate pages within the homepage or more than 16 Shortcuts, - remove the pin symbol from the Shortcut image, it looks terrible and it is superfluous. (I use ONLY my own shortcuts, nothing else, so the pin symbol is not needed.)

Thank you Mario

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Unless I'm mistaken, the Android Firefox app used to have group tabs and was replaced by Collections. Personally, I find it less user friendly and requires more clicks while ending up with a worse version of what Group Tabs accomplished. It essentially operates as a weird mix of Group Tabs and Bookmarks while being worse than both.

Cons of Collections:

• There is no differentiation between tabs in a collection and not in a collection.
• There is no quick swapping between tabs in a collection.
• There is no option to Close all tabs in a collection but there is one to Open all tabs. This just looks messy.
• Collections can only be opened from Homepage, not the Tabs screen.
• Saving a collection requires long-press, select tab(s), tap Collection icon, then select a Collection. Group tabs requires longpress, select multiple, tap group icon OR drag and stack tabs.

Pros of Collections:

• Neatly stored on Homepage instead of taking up a Tab slot on Tab page. (which could be fixed be programming group tabs ability to be stored on Homepage and re-opened with option).

All in all it is just a 5/10 feature in functionality. Even less so when taking into account that Android Firefox also has Bookmarks and Shortcuts. Please go back to drawing board on this one, it's really one feature I miss about Chrome (and what I thought Firefox used to have).

Hi , Recently Mozilla started behaving problematic, I wonder if this problem is persistent in every Android device. When I switch apps on mobile let's say I open a banking app to copy paste credit card information and then reopen the Mozilla from the recently used application tab/section. Mozilla gives a black screen in which only bottom frame where the address bar and navigationonal buttons are placed is visible. It sticks there for 10-20 seconds, and then the web page appears or I have to refresh the page.

It s quite annoying and you have to wait a lot, lose the latest info on the page as you have to refresh it. I don't know if there is any solution to that or is it because of my Xiaomi resmi note 13 pro plus.

There is no reason for ANY browser to have AI built into it, it does much more harm than good, slows my computer to a crawl, and paints Mozilla in a bad light.

This was the only browser I could meaningfully use without the encroaching enshittification of the Internet affecting it. I guess I need to find another now.

I am writing to report an issue with the page frequently auto-refreshing. This feature causes a significant disruption, especially when I am in the middle of entering information into data fields, such as forms, passwords, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Every time the page automatically refreshes, all the data I have input is lost, forcing me to restart the process from the very beginning. This happens repeatedly and is extremely frustrating.

I request that this auto-refresh functionality be disabled. It would be much better if the refresh action could only be initiated manually by the user. This would ensure that data being entered remains intact without interruptions that cause the process to restart.

Subject: Issue Report: Automatic Page Refresh Causes Data Loss in Forms

Problem Description: The page/screen automatically and continuously refreshes on its own without user command.

Impact of the Issue: This automatic refresh is highly disruptive because:

1. It erases all data currently being entered into forms (e.g., user details, passwords, OTPs).

2. It forces the user to repeatedly restart the data entry process from scratch.

3. It significantly hinders and slows down the completion of any task on the page.

Suggested Solution: Please disable the automatic refresh feature. The refresh action should be user-initiated only (e.g., via a manual refresh button or a "pull-to-refresh" gesture) to prevent data loss during input. Thank you.

Occasionally (it already happened three times today) when i'm browsing and switching between tabs, one tab will become an image of its contents (as in - no links work, can't scroll vertically or horizontally) and the others become grey. Trying to reload the pages or open new ones doesn't work, they never load. Turning the browser off by going to the phone's home menu and closing Firefox in the recent applications view doesn't solve the problem, it only closes any private tabs but the issue persists when opening any new tab or preexisting ones. The only way to fix the problem is by force stopping the app. I've cleared the cache, it didn't solve the problem, and reinstalling seemed to work for a few days but now the problem is back. For reference, my add-ons/extensions are: Ghostery, NoScript and UBlock Origin.

I semi-accidentally closed all my inactive tabs. All 4799 of them.

I first synced them to pc to sort through them (the mobile browser couldn't open them without crashing).

Turns out, only a tiny selection actually transferred over to PC. I had no idea there were that many tabs open, so I couldn't verify the number that transferred over to pc.

When I closed the inactive tabs, I saw how many I had deleted, and realised I've lost about 90 %.

Is there a way to recover these?

I also wish there was a tab counter on mobile, so I could've dealt with it sooner, before it got out of hand.

commenting on Facebook results in a scroll down with every letter typed (default gboard) , which makes it almost impossible to comment, it becomes frustrating at times and i can only comment on posta which have a few comments because the scrolling down is blocked by the lower end of page

I am so tired of everything getting some half baked language learning model shoved into it where it doesn't need anything. This browser used to be the safe alternative that won't sell your data. Its the main reason i switched to it. Now our data is being fed to a stupid AI.

I already turned off everything relating to it. But I shouldn't have had to. This sucks.

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

My keyboard is often glitching out while I'm in the Firefox browser. This will happen when I'm trying to search on websites or in the search bar.

I've tried a few different keyboards and I've had this problem with Gboard(the one I want to use) and the built-in Samsung keyboard. It seems to work fine for the Microsoft's keyboard but I prefer not to use that one. I've recently updated both of theses apps but the issue persists. The screenshot is what I see when this happens; the area where the keyboard should be is solid black.

If I use the search bar that normally contains the URL, it works but I try to avoid this because using that bar seems to get stuck often on a blank screen(or take a while to load? Not sure what's happening there).

Is there a fix or workaround?

When I used YouTube through the Firefox browser, sometimes the full screen goes actual full screen, sometimes it shrinks the video and outs it in the top 2/3s of the screen. I'm not sure what setting could be changed, or if this is a YouTube issue. Its a pretty massive difference, uploading 2 screenshots showing the difference.
