I occasionally use Firefox Focus (Klar) on my Fairphone 6 running E/OS.

Today, I noticed the following notification for the first time: Download-Manager Additional files for the Firefox Klar browser

I’ve never noticed this before. Any idea what’s being downloaded?

FYI: E/OS is using com.android.providers.downloads v15 as download manager

Today the pictures,jpg, stopped opening automatically in Thunderbird mobile. Now there is a View link and its just not good to have to go through the extra steps to see the pictures. It must be an update that broke it because my settings didn't change. Also, It would be helpfull to see date and time of messages instead of day of the week.

Delete browsing data on quit, bug or feature

I've been having this strange behaviour in Firefox Nightly on Android, where the "Delete browsing data on Quit" setting, whether it is ticked or not, automatically closes open tabs. This used to not be a thing, and I wish for some clarification if this was supposed to do this from the start or not.

My settings under the "Delete browsing data on quit", which is of course turned on: Ticked: Browsing data, Cached images and files, Downloads Unticked: Open tabs, Cookies and site data, Site permissions

Tabs get closed, otherwise works as on tin.

Urgent: Firefox Rendering and Performance Crisis on AI-driven sites (Android/Linux)

Issue: Critical Rendering Failure and Script Latency on Polybuzz.ai I am reporting a consistent issue where modern AI platforms, specifically Polybuzz.ai, fail to function correctly on Firefox (both Android and Linux). Despite being a loyal user since 2004, the current performance gap compared to Chromium browsers is making daily tasks impossible. Core Technical Problems: Layout Corruption: Even in Desktop Mode, the UI breaks, elements overlap, and CSS grids do not render properly. High Input Lag: Massive delays in JavaScript execution, causing the browser to become unresponsive during site interaction. Engine-Level Issues: The problem persists on both Android (latest stable) and Linux (Zorin OS/Linux Mint), suggesting a fundamental issue with the Gecko engine's handling of heavy AI frameworks. Troubleshooting Done: Tested with Enhanced Tracking Protection both ON (Standard) and OFF. Cleared all site data and cache. Verified that the same site runs smoothly on Chromium-based browsers on the same network/device. Please investigate Gecko’s compatibility with these modern web standards. Screenshots of the broken UI are attached for reference.

Why when I have to go to another app to check my email, when I come back you reload to a different page and I lose the spot I'm supposed to fill.

I go to a website and it tells me that it has emailed me a code. I have to go to another app to bring up my email to get the code. When I go back to Firefox using the recent apps feature, on my phone, Firefox reloads to the previous page and I have to start all over again because you've gotten rid of the page I was on, to put the code in. It's an endless cycle. Since I'm not actually closing Firefox why can't it open onto the page I was just on?

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

Hello,

after yahoo messed up their email beyond usability I am looking for an email client.

I like Thunderbird with it's neat and clean user interface. But even with 0 subject lines ans compact settings I only see 8 emails per screen on my 10" tablet.

Is there another setting that I have missed which would give me at least 20 emails per screen?

Also search is incredibly slow (one result every 1-3 seconds). Is that only because I just recently installed it?

Kind regards,
