https://www.google.com/search?q=adguard%20app&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox Focus can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

You have firefox focus browser, firefox focus browser (beta), firefox focus beta for testers and firefox focus nightly (early access). I tried all 4 of them but i couldn't find any difference between the 4 types of firefox focus. So i was wondering why does those 4 exist if there is no difference or am i missing something?

I can't figure out why Firefox Focus for Android is opening Amazon links by default. It isn't set as the default browser, as far as I can tell it doesn't have anything set to open by default. Usually I have the option to choose which browser to open a link with because I have multiple browsers installed.

I'm using a Galaxy s22 Ultra running Android 13. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I have made two Complaints to Google!! I explained in Detail that i have Stopped the many Google Play Store Permisions and why? I installed Google Go and gave the App all the Permissions it asks for! I downloaded it from Google Play! Their own site! I was amazed to see a question Do Not Use This For Search? Then i changed search engines as Google were Emailing me Non Stop! So i put focus as my Default Browser and they would not let me Backup my Phone but i have a 2nd email even though my main email for 35yrs is the same? Then if i dont give Permissions to Google Play Wallet wont work and on it goes! Its Blackmail pure and simple i never asked for thd App to begin with? Do i change everything back??

Hello Mozilla community,

I've been a dedicated user of Firefox Focus for its privacy-centric browsing experience. However, I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what this browser has to offer in terms of protecting my online privacy.

I'm interested in delving deeper into the privacy features that Firefox Focus provides. Could someone please share some insights on how to make the most of features like tracking prevention, automatic data clearing, and the overall enhanced privacy settings? Are there any lesser-known tips or settings I should be aware of?

Moreover, I'm curious about the compatibility of Firefox Focus with various platforms and devices. Does it function similarly across desktop and mobile? Are there any differences in terms of privacy features or settings between the two?

I believe that by learning more about Firefox Focus, I can take better control of my online privacy and security. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping me make the most of this fantastic browser.

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?

After using Firefox focus for a while on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra I will sometimes start seeing screen flickering which will affect the entire OS. Opening my keyboard and doing app switches will show tons of flickering as well but closing Firefox focus seems to make the issue go away.

Simple: Will there ever be more than four shortcuts within Firefox Focus for Android? This is the only limiting factor I don't understand. I love this browser for everything else it does better than the standard Firefox, but this is the limiting factor... I would understand if the screen would be full, but it is not. A 4x6 matrix, maybe adjustable in the options how much, fits perfectly on probably all mobiles. The "put shortcuts on mobile desktop" is not a solution, that is already full enough as it is.

In profile on Desktop, my phone doesn't even show up as one of my devices with Firefox browser, tho it's been on there for years. So long, I'd forgotten I'd chosen Focus. Is it so private even Firefox doesn't know about it?

Does syncing require that I ALSO download Firefox ADHD in order to sync with my desktop?

Thanks, c8
