I cannot paste URLS in Firefox elsewhere using a Android 11 phone. Is there some special way to do this or is it not possible. Using a computer, there is no problem.

"Don't like PWA, please bring back 'add to homescreen' bookmarking/shortcut option."

I have the exact same problem as the poster, but only in last month or so. "Shortcut" doesn't open in normal browser (what's a PWA?) and page doesn't have a menu/URL bar, so useless. Normal app either gives "Add to Home Screen" or "Install" option, but both result in PWA (I guess), not a shortcut which opens in app. i. e. menu option irrelevant. Not happy (Just been reading a GitHub stream on the subject - deliberate Mozilla choice! Nobody likes PWA, get rid!!!)

I've used FF forever and am using FF Bet on my android now. Please please PLEASE tell me how to STOP THE PAGES FROM REFRESHING. I'm a little frustrated....... Thanks in advance.

Why has the option to print STILL not been added back in? (January 2022, version 96 for Android) Why was it removed to begin with? Seems like a key feature for a lot of people. No plugins or add-ons for it either. Once I switch, I won't be back.

So i have the new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, never had a tablet until now. Why is there no tablet mode variant of firefox? I LOVE the use of extensions and it's my primary phone and desktop browser, but all the other browsers, duckduckgo, chrome, samsung internet, brave, and opera have tablet modes with a bookmarks bar, full tabs, and defaults to desktop user-agents most of the time. And even with Firefox being somewhat usable on a tablet, the scaling on it causes a lot of glitches like the address bar doubling over when you go in to type another search/domain while on a website already.

I'm insanely bummed that I can't use my favorite browser that has everything i love on my tablet because they just haven't optimized it in the slightest for the large scale experience.

Before Firefox for Android v100 it was possible to show only pinned sites in the top sites section in the home screen. Now alongside my pinned sites (currently 3) there are 2 rows of 4 sites and 2 pages. All these other sites are pages related to my work, full of test URLs, 500 or 404 pages... and so on. How do I revert it to the old behavior?

My tabs have been ballooning like crazy because of this. I like the feature firefox has to resume browsing where you left off, however, it's been very frustrating to manage lately because of this.

Basically, say i have 10 tabs open, i close out of 5 of the tabs and then exit the app, when i reboot the app, those 5 tabs will be back open and i will have 10 tabs open once again!

Any ideas what might be up with this?

I recommend you take a look at Via Browser. That is a very powerful browser, even though it is light in size.

Take a look at the many features it has and implement some of those features in Firefox.

I have a lot of websites bookmarked on my Android, a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 128GB. Well, "bookmarked" is the wrong word. I have saved them on the homepage so that I can get to them quickly. Trouble is, every single one of them is just labeled "Firefox".

For example, I have a folder named "Gen'l Reference" with 11 items. (See attached image.) Some of them open apps and are properly labeled with the name of the app, e.g., "UnicodePad", "Translate", and "DuckDuckGo". But others link to websites, mostly with specific functions, such as Snopes.com, timeanddate.com, and emojipedia.org. All of these just show the Firefox icon and are labeled simply "Firefox". The only way I can get to the one I want is to remember where it is in the layout. How can I give them appropriate labels, with or without their own icons?

Firefox: Firefox PC Browser, top right of web page, there' a star wheel to click on, If you click it on, a windows drops open, to allow users to choose 1 to 4 Bookmarks to be saved onto home page,

I wish this feature was on Android Firefox on Google Play Store Firefox App.

Android Firefox Browser on a cell phone, allows web pages to be saved in two rows 1 to 8

Also saved pages lack a Press down and allow move manually to put saved bookmarks in Alhebetical order Be very helpful if Android Firefox these Upgraded changed developed and upgraded to app updates

Hi! Recently I tried to make a payment on a website (using Firefox Nightly for Android) that would not recognize numbers in the dollar amount field. I received a message saying that the field could not be blank, although I had entered a number. I ended using another browser and finished the transaction without issues. Any feedback on this would be very helpful.
