Unable to view YouTube comments using Firefox on android. I can view the comments on Opera, duckgo and chrome.

This problem started about four days ago. Comments show on the short videos but not the regular videos. When I tap on "comments" the resulting page/frame is empty.

Hi, I would like to report a UI/UX issue specifically in the Ukrainian localization of Firefox on Android. In the menu, the "Reload" (Оновити) and "Quit" (Вийти з Firefox) options are positioned so closely that it’s very easy to misclick. I constantly find myself clicking "Quit" by mistake when I only intend to refresh the page. ​This is a huge issue for me because it instantly closes all my active tabs and interrupts my work. It feels like a "UI trap" specifically in the Ukrainian version. ​I would be very grateful if you could fix this issue.

I'm using a Huawei P20. I've been using FireFox for a long time mainly for accessing YouTube through the browser. After recent updates when I try to play a video it always appears to be really zoomed-in and completely unwatchable, decided to switch to WaterFox to resolve my issue, but after the last update WaterFox also has the same issue.

Can anyone provide some help with this issue?

Re-enable "Settings" and "Quit" in︙menu using about:config?

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.)

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?

Why is it that when I type in part of an url in firefox search, for example "surf" when I'm wanting to visit r/surf, firefox suggests threads I viewed a single time rather than r/surf that I view multiple times per day?

You can see in chrome it behaves more like you would expect.

Sometimes plain r/surfing will be there but most of the time not, it's just random threads I viewed a single time.

There doesn't seem to be any combination of search settings that makes it suggest more frequently viewed sites

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?

For the past few months, videos on YouTube haven't been playing properly. They load just fine and there's no issues with the auto, but once the video starts playing it will sometimes be zoomed into the top left corner, making it impossible to properly see what's going on.

This happens with music videos too, both official and lyrical. It will be zoomed in close to the top left corner and just barely catches what's going on in the video. Sometimes, video do play like they're supposed to, but for the most part, they'll be zoomed in as soon as I hit play.

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.

Cannot Play Samples from Audible.co.uk on Firefox

Hi. For the past few months I have been unable to play any samples from the Audible website in Firefox on my android phone. When I click the word "Sample" Audible opens up a new tab with their Web player and I always get an error message that is just a rectangular box with an exclamation mark inside a triangle on the left side of the box. (Screenshot attached.) There are no words inside the box and the only option is to close the tab. Since there is no actual message I'm not sure what the problem is.

Here's a link to the page visible in the screenshot: https://www.audible.co.uk/webplayer?asin=1445081911&contentDeliveryType=Unknown&isSample=true&ref_=a_pd_jpp_cloudplayer_1445081911&overrideLph=false&initialCPLaunch=true

Playing samples used to work fine when you could play them within their web page before Audible changed its system. I seem to be able to play samples on Audible's Web player in Chrome, but would prefer to keep Firefox as my default browser. I have tried deleting all history, cookies and cache; closing and reopening Firefox; turning phone off and starting again after an hour. I've also tried enabling autoplay, but that made no difference. I was thinking that the issue may be with my other settings within Firefox, but I can't tell. Any help you can provide would be great. Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

(I'm in the UK. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I don't see a UK specific forum. Thanks.)

The long-press back button no longer summons the tab's history on my Android phone or my Galaxy tab. Mozilla appears to have disabled this feature quite recently. I'm referring to the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner that you hit quickly to go back once. It was quite useful to do a long press on the arrow and have the history of the tab pop up in a list. You could then pick any page on the list and go directly back, skipping over all the other pages.

Please reinstate this useful feature?

Ever since the latest update to Firefox nightly on Android, whenever I try to open the browser I get a pop up asking me if I want to open it with the Play Store or the Samsung store. I went ahead and updated it and it continues to do this every single time I try to open the browser. It continually opens the Play Store as well. This must be some bug as it is happening on both of my devices that I recently updated Firefox nightly, both my phone and my tablet.
