When I tap on a YouTube link, or Reddit, or Amazon etc, FireFox Focus opens it in the native app. This completely undermines the entire purpose of app. I use it when I don’t want to access something while signed in. It’s crazy that a “Privacy Browser” happily gives my searches over to the companies I’m trying to avoid.

This seems to be new behavior in a recent update… it used to occasionally ask me if I wanted to open the app but now it’s just automatic.

If I long press a link and tap “open link” it usually stays inside FireFox Focus… but it’s inconvenient, hard to remember, and I never know what is going to trigger the external apps.

Can we please at least give the option to disable this??

Since today, tapping and holding a link would use the same preview method as Safari, where it would show you a preview box that could show either a preview of the website or just the URL, switched by tapping the top right of the box. Now it uses its own preview mechanism and there is no option to show only the URL and nothing else. Could you please add such an option on the box? Thank you in advance.

I have Focus set as my default browser but the “open in Safari” option is gone and replaced by “open in default browser “ and “open in Firefox”. How do I open in Safari if focus is my default browser. I’ve already tried reinstalling the app.

recently i noticed that focus no longer asks before opening a link in another app (e.g. a youtube link in the youtube app). i know that you can open it in focus by long pressing on the link and clicking open link rather than open in default browser (which is set in settings to be firefox focus, but still opens it in the relevant app), but it's a hassle to do every time. is there a way to re-enable asking before opening an app, or at the very least opening it in focus by default?

I have set Firefox as the default browser, but on my new Pixel 7 Pro, Chrome seems to be used on every link I tap. But it is not resetting my default in Firefox. It just seems to ignore my setting, and acts like it is the default browser. Is there another place I need to set the default?

Hey,

I am extensively using Firefox Focus for Android and iOS. Unfortunately, I am stuck with incognito mode on the Desktop side. I was looking for something like Focus for Desktop. There are times when I don't want my searches to mess up my history and also the recommendation system of the website(like YouTube). I would love to volunteer and develop this project if this sounds something to be useful. Is there a way where I can discuss the same with the Mozilla team?

Thanks

Hello dear Firefox Focus team,

At the moment I see a bunch of interface languages available for the Firefox Focus application. At the same time the list is far from full in comparison even with Firefox app itself.

Personally I wish Belarusian language to be added to the app so that I would like to clarify the following:

1. Is there any way I could personally help with this and perform a translation from English to Belarusain (I'm a native speaker and a software engineer)? If yep who is the best contact point to kick-off the process? 2. Where can I raise the feature request if external contributions are not available?

Thank you.

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?

On the contrary, I am uncapable of writing/talking with family and doctors due to what seems to be a tech conflict between the above mentioned providers.

Hello Firefox Focus seems to have display issues when “Zoomed” view is selected in the ‘Display Zoom’ setting.

Hi, Team! I've been experiencing FFF crashes for a while. It happens occasionally when I'm watching YouTube videos in FFF while using AppSwitcher (or checking Notification Center). Iphone X, FFF 108.0.

I've just turned on both SendUsageData and Studies switchers to help you to dig in (if that helps).
