Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

Firefox add-ons doesn't recognize that it's being opened with Firefox.

The Firefox for Android add-ons section (yes, I made sure I was in the 'for Android' add-ons web address, as opposed to the 'desktop add-ons' web address) is saying "You'll need Firefox to use this extension" and not allowing me to install add-ons as the page employs a download firefox link that leads to an "Open" button in the Google Play Store, as I already have Firefox installed. I have tried many different add-ons to test if the issue is isolated to a single add-on and to test if it is an add-on compatibility issue, and it seems to be a consistant issue with all add-ons. Yes my underlying operating system (Android), and the Firefox for Android app are both up-to-date with the latest versions. I have located the Firefox support page labeled "Unable to install add-ons (extensions or themes)" and was able to work through the the list of potential issues and their solutions, to determine that every item on the list was either inapplicable or not the problem/solution. What am I missing?

Hello,

I'm using Firefox focus for a long time but i wondered why there weren't any add-ons like ublock origin. So i taught maybe the beta or nightly version haves it but that's a no too. So i was wondering if mozilla is gonna work further with firefox focus or did they just dropped it because there weren't really any updates lately except bugs things. Another question how do i remove firefox focus beta and nightly out of the play store?

I am having a problem where as I am trying to download extensions and/or themes from the official firefox add-ons section and it says to first download firefox. The problem is that I am signed in with my firefox account and am currently using the firefox app in the first place! When i click download the app keeps trying to redirect me to the app store (I'm on iOS by the way) where I already have it downloaded as I have for over four months. Has this happened to anyone else and can someone please let me know how to resolve this issue? Many thanks.

As of late in Firefox Android I cannot get any add on to install. I've temporarily disabled 'YouTube high definition' after some strange behavior and when I tried to reinstall it or ANY of the list of curated addons I get the same failed to install message. I can no longer download any of the addons and I can't seem to figure out why. I've restarted and cleared cache multiple times but it doesn't work. Any solutions?

I used to be able to change add-on settings from the hamburger menu. Specifically no-script what scripts could run. Now when I select add-ons from the menu it brings me to a list of installed addons but does not allow any add-on settings to be set. I have not yet found another way and has rendered my mobile Firefox useless. What is the new way to adjust add-on settings?

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.

Suggestions for Firefox for Android

Since the built-in password manager is not good enough in terms of security and functionality, (and I don't think it will be good enough for the foreseeable future), it would actually be a good idea to build an app instead of the built-in one, or to choose a third party app as a partner as an official recommendation, and so forth.

I find the browser's ad-blocking features to be very unorganized, repetitive, and not easy to use. I wish you could build a comprehensive enough and personalized built-in pan-ad blocker.

And please allow the beta version's custom "add-ons collection" to be added to the official version

Anyway, there are many problems and many solutions, I hope Firefox will be better and better.

Thanks.

Hi, google.co.uk search page appears differently in Firefox when compared to other browsers. Specifically there is a menu option missing. For me this is a significant inconvenience so I'm hopeful you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have attached two images to highlight what I'm asking about, I've circled in red the menu items that don't display (for me) in Firefox.

Many thanks... Mark

I just added the attached add-ons and now I'm being blocked from subscribed sites and others. I think it's related to Java Script as it says on the add-on No Script 11.4.21. How do I remove that add-on? Is there any others I should remove?

I think it was Firefox 52 or somewhere around the time that Firefox 52 came out, there was an addon that allowed users to spoof their device. I could make my Android phone appear to various websites, to be a Computer, a Tablet, an iphone, etc. Does Firefox still have that Addon? If so, how can I download it? If not, does anyone know where I might find a similar one?

Thank You.
