Trying to sync to Firefox on my desktop and it's not giving me the sync and save data option on my phone. How do I sync the too? I want my passwords to update between both and it doesn't and it's been an ongoing issue.

Hi, I have Firefox for Android running on my Samsung Galaxy S23 and the windows version on my PC. Both are logged in to the same Firefox account and are syncing fine. On my PC, the password manager is working as expected and autofilling website passwords.

However, on my phone, I can't seem to get the autofill to work. I have been needing to go into the password manager and copy the password every time. It will ask to save the password and the password manager has everything stored as expected. Tried various things like logging in and logging out but nothing has fixed it. I did notice that Samsung Pass often pops up during the website login process and was wondering if this could be the reason Firefox password manager is not working for autofill.

Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, when using a dropdown list that is connected to an external source (excel on the cloud), firefox on android does not offer us options. It works in other browsers. Ideal worked in Opera. Where is the problem with firefox?

I've just about given up using this browser as it's become less and less user friendly. I have spent a couple of hours searching the forums and online to find a way to BLOCK webpages from refreshing/reloading in Firefox for Android. Facebook etc.. I've searched geckoview and there is NO option for blocking this feature. the accessibility.blockautorefresh no longer exists and re-entering it does nothing. I've disabled every option possible and it doesn't do it. Battery consumption etc. There are no current extensions add-ons that work. I assume this was done to make the browser more favorable for site monetization but Firefox wasn't supposed to be geared towards that.

If anyone knows of a way to do this please please let me know. Otherwise I'm -><- away from deleting this app and just using Brave.

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox where my saved passwords from my desktop aren't syncing to my Android phone. Pressing the "Sync Now" button doesn't trigger any action. I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including removing and readding the device, force stopping the app, clearing cache and data, and manually syncing again, but nothing has worked. It seems like a bug. Any suggestions?

Hello, I am trying to sync browser bookmarks bidirectionally from PC to Cell devices. The instructional window that pops up on the PC says to: click the three dots in the Android Firefox cell, 1) Choose "I already have Firefox for mobile" & click Continue 2) Window popup appears "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet" 2a) Open Firefox on cell phone 2b) Go to the Menu (three dots) 2c) Tap "Sync and save data" 2d) Tap "Ready to scan" My issue is, I do not see option 2c, Tap "Sync and save data. Thus, I cannot scan the OCR code to pair up the devices because in the Firefox app on the Android cell (Samsung Galaxy S22+), there is no option to sync and save data. Please advise. Thank you

When attempting to sync my data on my android device it doesn't do anything. I'm currently in the account settings on my phone and when I hit "sync now" it just does nothing.

I am stunned that FF android still doesnt allow for a custom URL as homepage.

When will this be re-implemented, seeing as it was a staple before the rewrite? Or are you simple trying to force your own rubbush homepage feature on people forevermore?

Yes i tapped sync and on my mac's firefox, the android device is not even shown .. i can see my windows firefox there and see open tabs from there but not from android

why doens't android firefox sync ?

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

I just updated Firefox to version 135.0 on my mobile and now I get this really annoying thing:

Everytime I open a tab to go on the YouTube website, it asks me if I want to leave Firefox and use the YouTube app. Every single time. And it even launched it once without asking me.

I don't want to use the YouTube app, how can I make this stop?

Have a good day!
