I am using firefox 106.1 on a S22. Since the update whenever i open a website, all i see is black canvas. I have to either open another tab and switch back to the the website for it to render or minimise Firefox, open another app and switch back. Once the website is showing, the session gets normal and i dont see the problem till i exit the browser. This has been happening only after the update. Any clues please how to resolve this?

To me, browsing the web is equally important on Desktop and on Mobile.

I have a really powerful desktop PC and I use Firefox for Windows with uBlock Origin. The speed difference between a Chromium based browser and Firefox on my desktop is negligible.

On the other hand, using Firefox on Android is atrocious, laggy, sluggish, slow as hell. I used Bromite (the lightest and most privacy focused chromium browser on Android) and I don't wanna go back. Sure, I'll lose the pristine cosmetic filtering and blocking capabilities of uBlock origin but the websites will load twice/thrice as fast and the app feels fast.

Now, if I change browser on mobile I will have to change it on Desktop too, cause of features like Bookmark syncing, sending pages to mobile and viceversa ecc...

I need a solution. I like firefox, what they are doing as a non profit organization, the battle against Chromium, the fact that adblocking works better ecc... but I don't want to compromise on mobile performance.

What should I do? Switch to something like Brave or is there any solution? Thanks.

Bug: "The URL can't be shown - WebKitErrorDomain" using "Home" icon; Ffox IOS / Bug Correction New Error?

Image with error attached below. FFox 107.0 (21907)

When I press the "Home" button/icon in FFox for IOS to go to the startup page I am getting an error message "The URL can't be shown / WebKitErrorDomain".

I believe this is an evolution of the error I reported here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397009 However, it looks like there's been a FFox update in the last day (If I recall the version number correctly from the last one) and the error has changed.

Reliably reproducing this: - Start FFOX - press a startup page icon to access a site OR enter a URL directly in the address line. Look at one or more pages. - press FFOX "Home" button/icon to get back to FFOX startup screen - error occurs - The URL line when the error occurs is ".enx%20la%20l".

Info: I reported a very similar error here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397009 about a week ago. A few days ago it cured itself. Then today it started again but with a slightly different URL and a completely different error message. However, the oddball URL tells me the two are closely related.

Recap: - I've been using FFOX for years without issue on this phone. - Everything else including accessing web sites seems to be working normally. - There have been no related configuration changes on my part since the last error but it does look like FFox has updated. I don't know how to see the version number in the previous post so I'm not sure. - There have been no IOS updates on the phone in the last couple months (auto update is off)

The TLD/url (.enx) does not appear to be a valid TLD. It's either something FFox is using internally or perhaps IOS is supplying it (seems unlikely but possible). I do have the usual array of sites on my startup page as icons. None of the sites iconed on the startup page has been changed recently.

If I close the (al)l tabs and/or instead start a new one, I get the startup screen as expected. So there are apparently no network access issues. This is 100% reliable with no delays.

This definitely looks like a BUG to me or an internal issue. Is there a better way to report a bug?

Everytime I go to Michael's. Com or Hobby Lobby .com my scrolling starts to stick I like click on ornaments let's sat. It will scroll the first few then it's Jerry and no matter how many times I try to scroll down it keeps popping back to where it got stuck at. I am using Firefox build is 95.2.0 (Build #2015851755) Here's a link to where it started https://www.michaels.com/paint-and-painting-supplies/paint-brushes/845161197?page=3 I hope I've given enough info.

Whenever I tap a button on any website that is supposed to start uploading process nothing happens. I don't get to see a file browser with which I am supposed to pick a file or anything else, only a slight website UI animation of the button responding to my tap if the website/button has one.

This has been the case from the moment I installed Firefox. It is the same in both regular and private browsing. I have looked at Firefox and Android app permission settings and haven't found anything and allowed everything relevant for Firefox to use (access to files, internet). I have no problem downloading files. I am using MIUI 13 Global.
