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,

I have Firefox on my desktop, laptop and iPhone. The only device on which I do not have access to my usernames and passwords to login into my online accounts is on my iPhone. And yes I have set it up correctly with the QR code etc... By reading all the messages from other users, I'd like to know if I need to ditch Firefox for good and go back to chrome. Or will someone fro Firefox come up with the fix for that glitch. Waiting for a couple days. After that, Firefox will be history for me. And oh yes, I will talk about this every chance I get while on TV.

Passwords imported from Chrome on desktop do not sync to Android. Manual sync forced on both ends did not help. Can't say all imported passwords are impacted but two for sure. Having this issue since the import date 3+ months ago.

Mostly trying to get on website I then see notation to ACTIVATE FIREFOX OR TURN ON Firefox which doesn't tell me how to turn it on, how long 42 months? to keep trying getting nowhere but frustrated

HOW DO I GET FIREFOX TO WORK FOR ME instead of me being in unpaid for indefinite term FOREVER looking thru Firefox list of my saved names and passwords and entering it myself BECAUSE ---- Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that was the whole FIREFOX EXPERIENCE, to keep track of passwords and enter them for me. Reality is every day is a game of KEEP AWAY from me any user benefit

I have a new Android cellphone and my Unlock Firefox Password did not transfer to my new phone. How do I set a new Unlock Firefox Password. I'm so frustrated. Thank you for any help you can give.

I need this fix now. I'm loosing time and I haven't got any. I'm unable to make the 2nd verification work. I went to the app store and got a Authenticator. It works except when I try to use it for the second verification. When I went to turn it on on my phone, it wouldn't turn on. I think it's still trying to sync. This is a serious problem that I didn't ask for and didn't expect to have another trouble shooting problem that is ruining my business. I'm trying to work and it won't let me.

May I talk to a person? I would love to get help. I need to get help, but I'm stopped from signing up due to this problem. Talking to someone works best for me and is the fastest way to fix this. I have to get my shop up yesterday.

Please help. [removed phone# from public forum]

my usernames and passwords are not syncing....i have all my passwords and usernames saved on my pc....and I’ve synced all passwords and logins and can view them on both devices. ‘Autofill in Firefox’ and ‘Autofill in other apps’ are both on. But, when logging in to apps on the Samsung, autofill doesn’t work. Even if I fill in my email address, there is no password suggestion. Instead, a small dropdown message appears: ‘unlock Firefox’. It isn’t active, and doesn’t open anything when I tap on it. Result: I have to go looking for the passwords and fill them in manually. I hope there’s a solution. thank u in advance for your help. LL

Whenever ZmI go 2 lookup a saved login or to enter my Android pass code 2 do the same, the keyboard to enter it refuses to show so that I can. At 1st I was using an add on keyboard called Black Red Tech from Play Store. I took that out, restarted & tried with GBoard. No change. I have restarted phone several times. Next step is uninstalling FF but I'm reluctant 2 do that. Any other ideas?? This is what the screen displays in both cases, and there is no way that talking, holding buttons or restarting seems to pop the keyboard up. This is what keyboard looks like. Screenshot of saved logins screen just is blank black.

Since thete is no primary password on FF mobile Android. Other then using a global type lock on my phone, what are ways to keep my saved FF logins safe? I heard of something called lockbox or lockwise but don't see that option anywhere. Are the apps that can seamlessly work with FF?

Also is there someway to see a forum vs. being abstracted awaywith this gui? Or is there no forum access?

Thanks.

Hello,

I want to delete all the passwords I have saved on FireFox,

I have saved a lot of passwords so it is too heavy for me to delete them one by one, so please suggest some solution or something by which the entire saved passwords can be deleted at one go.

I have some personal reasons due to which I am requesting you.

It is not even giving the option to delete Saved password.

Firefox password manager will not offer to generate a password if i am creating a new account on my iphone. It works fine for autofilling existing passwords. I can only do that on my Windows PC. Can the iOS version generate secure paswords? I couldn't find anything to help in an internet search.

I use an external password manager on my Android phone - Nextcloud Passwords. It works with Google Chrome, Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo, and other browsers. However, the main Firefox browser does not allow me to use the autofill feature with this manager app. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. On a page with a username/password field, select one of the fields (give it focus)
2. The soft-keyboard appears and an "Autofill" popup appears (good!)
3. Pressing on the "Autofill" popup opens my password manager (good)
4. Selecting the password to fill in the manager app returns me to the page
5. Another popup should appear with the name of the site password selected in the manager app, and it looks like it does briefly, but another "Autofill" popup appears immediately. No username/password is filled.

This results in an endless loop of pressing the "Autofill" popup, selecting the password in the manager app, then the "Autofill" popup appears again.

System Information: Samsung Galaxy S22 Android 13 Kernel version 5.10.136 Build number TP1A.220624.014.S901U1UEU3CWGI Firefox Android version 117.1.0

When trying to autofill password in other app, a fingerprint icon alongside "Unlock Firefox" is being displayed. Tapping on said icon doesn't do anything. And I can't simply unlock via fingerprint, since my device is using an in-display fingerprint reader which triggers the keyboard stroke instead of reading the fingerprint to unlock the passwords.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1395581 <------------- Perfect example. Only responder is completely useless, asking pointless, obvious things, not understanding clear explanations, and not a single other person even attempting to help.

Your password system for iOS is completely screwed up. As others have noted, it never asks to save a password. Yes, the option is turned on. No, we aren't all in private mode. These questions are silly.

When I went to log in today - because I have to log in, and then verify it's me, every single time I open the browser, because ?????? - I also verified it ALWAYS says the first entry of your PW is wrong. I marked "view password" to ensure I entered it the right way. Entered it exactly the same way the second time. Worked the second time. This is how it goes literally every single time I log in. First time it says the PW is wrong, enter the exact same one a second time, works perfectly, and doesn't bother to ask me to save it, so I have to go through the entire obnoxious process every single solitary time I want to log into absolutely anything.

Then people ask about it, and are either told "-shrug- works fine for me lol," given meaningless responses with requests to log into people's personal websites, or they're completely ignored. The last person asking this question said they were going to just get another browser, and that's about where I'm at. This isn't an isolated incident, either. The number of questions on here that end with the user giving up and the question being archived without answer - sometimes without a single answer even *attempted* - is laughable. Firefox is more trouble than it's worth, and even getting a simple answer about passwords takes months of research and ultimately leads nowhere and nobody has any idea how to resolve the problem.

Oh my god. I wanted to export my bookmarks in preparation for going to another browser, since you clearly don't support this one, and come to find - YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO EXPORT BOOKMARKS FROM iOS FIREFOX. You may be the hands down worst browser I've ever seen in my entire life. Every single thing is a huge ordeal, usually takes months of research that ends in me giving up, and basic functions like exporting bookmarks you just deliberately don't offer?

Holy crap. I'm not only uninstalling this from my tablet but I'm getting rid of you on my desktops too. Your company is far too incompetent and careless to risk having on any of my devices.

When I try to sign into Firefox I don’t have the password. To get a new one, Mozilla wants to reset Firefox and trash my data. Is there a way to sign in without a reset?

Thanks.
