I am using Firefox nightly on Android. About two weeks ago I noticed that my toolbar got moved to the bottom after some update, while address bar is still at the top. I tried looking for it in settings but couldn't find anything about toolbar, that's weird since I was able to customize it a few years ago when I installed Firefox for the first time. So I looked it up on the internet and they say that it's in Settings/Customize/Toolbar, but in my browser settings instead of Toolbar there is Address bar settings. Has toolbar's settings been moved somewhere else? It looks like in previous versions it was under Customize section.

I updated and now "Settings" & "Quit" aren't in the ︙menu. They're hidden and I have to swipe up a second time to see them. This interferes with my workflow, as I use "Quit" dozens of times a day and it used to be effortlessly accessible via a single finger flick.

How do disable this hiding of "Setting" and "Quit"? Is there an about:config option I can toggle?

I am using Iceraven-2.23.1 (Build #2016045162), which is based on Firefox for Android and allows all users to use about:config

(If there is no about:config to disable it, let me know the last version before this was changed, and I'll use that instead.)

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

I saw an archived posted forum on this from around a year ago and the OP posted about his Chromebook device. I have a typical/standard Android phone (a Kyocera, if that helps anything) and was wondering two separate things:

1. The previously mentioned archived forum was answered with Nightly not supporting Dev tools for the Android version. Is this still true or has this changed at all?

2. If it has changed, does my phone being an Android 10 or 11 OS get this change or not? I can type in "about:configs" and get what I presume are some sort of advanced tools, but I figured there would be a quick button for this.

Thank you to anyone who responds. I appreciate all information and help.

Hello, I noticed that the Firefox Android app does not have a lock feature as the Google Chrome Android app does for private/incognito browsing. I feel as though this is a very useful feature that secures the icongnito tab in the google app so that I could leave the app and no one would be able to access the tabs other then me due to it requiring a fingerprint to open. Firefox seems like a good android app, I just wish that it had this feature.

Hi, this issue has been present for a long time for me, and with many versions of Firefox Nightly for Android.

I'm always using the latest nightly for browsing Youtube only, with a set of specific settings and addons (since we can't use profiles on Android yet)

My problem is I've configured the Homepage to never show anything but a few URLs I chose to pin, you can see my settings and my homepage in the screenshots attached.

Despite the "Recently visited" setting being disabled, sometimes, but not everytime, the last pages I visited are added to the Homepage, after the pinned sites. I have no idea what triggers it or not, if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug.

Thanks for your help !

The latest update of Firefox for Android (130.0 (Build #2016041319)) removed the ability to swipe away the "Tab Closed Undo" bar that shows up when closing a tab.

If a user closes the last tab, a purple-ish bar appears at the bottom of the screen that reads "Tab Closed" on the left and "Undo" in a different font on the right. In previous versions of Firefox for Android a user could swipe away this bar to make it go away. In the current version that is no longer possible and I would really appreciate having that back.

(Honestly I would actually really appreciate never seeing the bar since I can access closed tabs via the History and I really dislike the bar.)

Dear mozilla,

I have just upgraded from a Galaxy A52, to an S24. However, whenever I want to quit Firefox, I keep tapping "print" (several times a day), because "quit" is now just outside of the screen borders. In "customize" I cannot find an option to overcome this problem.

Kind regards,

I enjoy using Firefox for its clarity, security, and overall performance. However, on my Android tablet, switching between tabs can be difficult. I would love to have a tab bar at the top, similar to the desktop version, for easier access to specific tabs. The current swipe gesture to change tabs is useful but doesn't allow me to see all open tabs at a glance. Additionally, I’d appreciate an extension for auto-refreshing tabs and a setting for desktop view, so that when I enable it, all tabs—including future ones—open in desktop mode. However, it should still be possible to switch individual tabs back to mobile view if needed.

Thanks Subhankar

1. The homepage backgrounds need updating, I should be able to add manual wallpaper from my phone. 2. The bookmarks on homepage are in a sliding manner which requires one extra step to open prefered bookmark from home page specially when I have several bookmarks. They should be more accessible as in the form of already expanded tiles rather than just a show all button. 3. The bookmarks if removed from homepage once, can't be placed there again even though they appear inside the bookmark tab. There should be an option to add bookmarks to homepage. 4. Please bring amoled theme for firefox.
