I made the mistake of updating a working version of Firefox for Android and once again I had settings forced upon me. The Settings menu on the bottoms is horrible to navigate and I absolutely do not want nor need it. Apparently now I can't access the secret menu to fix it to the old side view for settings. Is there a way to change this? I'm at the point of frustration.

Since having my Samsung android "mended" I've lost the Collections.

I save quite a lot of tabs for future reference or just as a keep for ideas, holidays etc.

I've read the 'answers' in a number of forums/Google and so on, but they don't address the problem fully - they all state the obvious: click on this, scroll down to that - we know, that's why we're asking where the devil have they gone?!

I would like very much if *someone* who isn't a bot to answer this please. I'm sure I speak for many of us who are fed up with stock answers. If you don't know, find out. That's your job surely?

I can't find latest Firefox apk for my android. It only shows play store link. I tried signing up for Gmail account but that requires phone number verification these days. Never in my life was creating a Gmail account so much hard. It doesn't even give option to get code on some other number. The only option it shows is to insert a sim and google will verify itself which is kinda annoying. Please share the latest official Firefox apk link. It's impossible for me to create Gmail account as there is no Sim in my phone.

How to re-enable group tab function?

When i downloaded the app, it automatically came with the ability to group tabs, but after i customized several settings it took all of my tabs out of the groups and i can't group them anymore. The settings i changed ranged from privacy to personalization, i tried to reverse some of them to see if that would help and did a bunch of back and forth, but it's still not coming back. (Im trying to leave chrome because i noticed it had some very concerning lack of privacy settings that messed with my phone's ability to function properly if i turned them off. And Edge is worse.) Firefox seems better, but without the group tabs option it makes it waaaay too ridiculous to try and do any real work with it. I do a lot of multitasking and research and need to be able to bounce around and organize stuff. Your help stuff on tab groups doesnt say anything about how to turn it on or off. So... how do i get it back?

Firefox for Android uses phone layout on iQOO/Vivo Tablet – Nightly works correctly

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I am experiencing a UI/layout issue with Firefox for Android on my tablet.

Device information:

Device: iQOO Pad 5 Pro Operating system: OriginOS 6 HD Android version: Android 16 Firefox version: 153.0.3 Build: 2016176519

The problem is that the regular Firefox version does not use the proper tablet layout on my device. Instead, Firefox appears to use the smartphone/phone layout, even when the tablet is used in landscape orientation. The interface does not make proper use of the large tablet display and looks like the phone version stretched or displayed on a tablet.

The device itself is configured with a smallest width of 820 dp, so Android should clearly recognize it as a large-screen/tablet device.

Interestingly, Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 works correctly on exactly the same device. Nightly displays the proper tablet-optimized interface and makes appropriate use of the full screen.

Therefore, this appears to be a difference between the current stable Firefox release and Firefox Nightly rather than an OriginOS limitation.

Could you please check whether the tablet UI improvements/fix present in Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 are expected to be included in a future stable Firefox release, or whether there is a way to enable the same tablet layout in Firefox 153.0.3?

I can also provide screenshots showing the difference between Firefox Stable and Firefox Nightly on the same device if needed.

Thank you for your help.

Hello all,

I am using Cambridge Dictionary regularly. In that site, when I try to listen how a word is spelled in the US, the last part of the word is not spelled. For example, I am trying to learn how to say " strut ", in the UK version, I hear it completely. But for the US version, I hear "stru" with no t sound. This happens for each word and this problem only occurs in Mozilla Firefox both in Android and on Windows. Is there a way to solve this or I will completely stop using Firefox as I need to use this dictionary very regularly.
