Hi,

My bookmarks in Firefox Android are not sorted as they are with my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows. The problem started about 4 to 8 weeks ago.

What needs to happen to have Firefox Android sort my bookmarks the same way as my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows, please?


Thanks, Stephen

why does Firefox for Android require so many permissions?

The Firefox homepage is constantly broadcasting privacy incentives and ways we can donate to improve a free web, yet they need the permission to access my camera, mic, files and so on in exchange for the use of their program? I find this very contradictory, and would love to hear more from Firefox. I understand that certain permissions are necessary but i find the request for these things to be intrusive and upsetting when it's coming from a company that pats itself on the back when it comes to privacy and the fight for a free and open Internet.

Please at least provide the option to turn permissions that aren't necessary for the operation of Firefox on Android, off. Camera and mic, are not integral parts of my web search past time and therefore, i don't believe they are any of the Mozilla corporations interest either.

If there are ways to get back some of the privacy taken away by these requests using Android, as i understand getting away from all these permissions from every app is futile.. Please let me know. Maybe an app that retains some of these permissions, or blocks access to apps from accessing then? If there are suggestions out there I'm open to suggestions, thank you.

How can I open a tab with ALL the YouTube notifications I've received in a month inside the Firefox browser? The YouTube app had a separate bell-shaped button for this, but the Firefox browser doesn't have anything like that.

Firefox Not Downloading APK Files Properly?

I’ve been having trouble downloading APK files using Firefox. Sometimes, the browser blocks the download, flags it as unsafe, or the file gets corrupted during the process. However, when I try downloading the same file on other browsers, it works fine.

For example, when I tried downloading an app from Winks APK WinksAPKDL, Firefox displayed a security warning and wouldn’t let me proceed. I’ve checked my settings and even disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else faced this problem? Are there any specific settings or extensions that allow safe APK downloads without constant warnings? Any help would be appreciated!
