I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD Plus, and I was able to load the Firefox mobile app on the device, but I can't get it to sync with my account. Following the directions in the help articles, I tap the three dots in the upper right-hand corner. Then, I select "Settings" and "Sign in." At that point, the browser goes to the following page: about:accounts?action=signin&entrypoint=preferences, but the page never loads; it just keeps grinding away. I also tried using the QR code method, but that didn't work either. Please help.

I have noted from a web search that the subject of Javascript in Firefox (Android) has caused issues for some users of this browser.

I understand that JavaScript is now enabled by default in the standard version of Firefox (Android). It appears that once upon a time there was a config setting that could be tweaked to switch JavaScript on or off, but that setting may no longer work. Additionally, I also understand there are add-ons for the Android version of Firefox that can, amongst other things, apparently switch JavaScript on or off.

People here might be surprised to learn that the minimalist Firefox Focus (Android) browser already has a built-in, easily accessible, switch to turn JavaScript on or off:

Settings > Privacy & Security > Web Content > Block JavaScript

So, the point I would like to raise with Mozilla (but it seems to be impossible to contact them directly) is, if it is available in Firefox Focus (Android), why the heck is this switch not available in the mainstream, standard version of Firefox (Android)? It makes absolutely no sense not to have it, surely?

I would suggest that a good place to include a JavaScript switch would be in the 'Site permissions' section of Firefox (Android) settings. It is merely a suggestion as, for example, within the rather useful competitor Vivaldi (Android) browser there is such a switch located here:

Settings > WEB PAGES > Site settings > JavaScript

As for why there should be a JavaScript switch within Firefox (Android), that question is largely irrelevant. Mozilla have already seen a need to include it in Firefox Focus (Android), so what possible good reason could there be for not including it in Firefox (Android)? It mystifies me, and it's omission is an inconvenience too.

Does anyone here have a sensible answer to this question?

Trying to scan from my a53 to pair things up and it keeps thinking I used my phones camera despite using the button in the app from the url bar on android. Just like it says to do here. I can't for the life of figure out why it thinks I'm using the camera when I only did that once then figured out to use the app(really wish it was also in the menu next to the tab count as well....).

I don't have any apps to give to you. I also don't have a cell phone. I'm a 74 year old lady who is retired and I don't want a cell phone. I can give you my home (landline) phone number. I also don't have another email address except for the one I have already given you..."[email edited from public] @yahoo.com". What can I do to get registered with you folks?

How do you clear the cache? I am having problems logging in to my zonealarm website. They tell me to clear the cache. And how do I make sure I don't clear all my stored passwords and preferences?

The videos look blurry and it seems like a little zoom part can be seen from one corner of the video to zoom in more. The whole video is not controlled within the skin. Nothing in the video can be seen after playing the video due to problems. I have started the application by deleting it several times in a row. In the first case it stays good for a few days and then it causes problems in video play. After browsing all kinds of websites, the videos get blurry. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

My phone is Nokia X100 with android 11. CPU is 480 5G UFS 2.1 storage Ram is 6gb I already did some tweaks in about:config but it is still slow to load webpages especially going from one site to another site. Any flags recommended? I know there is the option to reduce animations but they split into many animations flags I just don't know which are supposed to be able to speed up the speed by disabling them. Please share your view

If I Don't Use Add Ons Can I Watch YouTube Premium In There On App Because Foxfire Stopped It I'd Rather Watch It Without The Website Of Foxfire Browser. I Know That It Might Be A Risk On Your Part But I've Never Had Any Issues With It This I Know For A FACT. Please Respond ASAP Thank You [email address] 20:25

Heyy!! So I followed these instructions here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/

They worked perfectly, and I now have vim controls in my Android Firefox Nightly (lul :D)

BUT (a big one) !!!

How do I configure the add-on?

The link that would normally take you to the options page (something like "moz-extension://..." just takes you to a new tab page.

Am I in uncharted waters here?:D
