I've recently upgraded from an a34 to an a56, both phones running the same build of Firefox, both signed into my account however the old phone can see the tabs of my laptop and the new phone, the new phone can't see anything. I'd like to be able to port the tabs over ideally.

Also of note is the tab view is totally different between the two phones in layout too.

I'm at a loss as to how I can painlessly move over the tabs.

I'm using Firefox 145.0.2. Every time I try to get directions from google maps, it asks me if I want to open it in the app. When I say no, it tries anyway and fails.

I don't have the maps app installed. I've set Firefox as my default browser, set open links in apps to never, and cleared the default behavior for the Google maps app. (I don't know why an app I don't have has a default behavior.)

Is there anything else I should try?

I'm unsure if doing this will actually help me with a problem that I'm having, but I assume that it can't make it any worse, so my question is "Where can I download an (android) Firefox from?

For my puposes, I have the following requirements.

  • My device has the Google play store (app), but I'd prefer to get a version of Firefox from a different location (because I doubt that what I want is in the Google play store). I know that Mozilla has sites that are specifically for hosting links to all of it's Firefoxes, so a link to one of those sub-sites would be ideal.
  • The Firefox will need to be an ANDROID Firefox (because my device is an android tablet with an android OS).
  • I don't know if Mozilla makes an (android) Firefox that is specifically for arm64-v8a android devices, but if they do, that would be preferred.
  • EXTREMELY IMPORTANT = The Firefox will NEED to be able to use plugins. (I know that only some plugins will work in (android) Firefox.)
  • I know that installing an (android) Firefox from anywhere except the Google play store (app) will mean that I'll (probably) need to manually visit the linked sub-site & get any updated versions from there. I accept that responsibility.

I am currently using (among other android web browsers) "Firefox beta", which I got from the Google play store a few days ago. I have a few logins (Google, Yahoo, & Facebook) already saved to that Firefox, but with Google, that was a pain in the (GUESS), & I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Is there a way to "export" my (already installed) android Firefox beta's login information & then import that into a new side loaded (android) Firefox? If so, I'll need a link (or the instructions themselves) for how to do that.

I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

When will Firefox Android allow backing up bookmarks to a file on the phone? I want to keep my phone and my desktop browser separate, so I don't want to sync. Without this feature, I regard FF Android as so problematic that I'm trying to find an alternative.
