Recently, I've had an issue with your browser on my desktop. I use AOL for my homepage. When I open the browser, it takes a long time to load. When it finally does, sometimes the tab crashes immediately. If it doesn't, I try to open another tab and that will crash. I don't have the problem when I use Edge. Any suggestions? If I remove Firefox and reinstall it, will I get all my favorites back?.

I am trying to enable Firefox, on Android, to draw over other apps, so I am able to look things up, while I have a other app open. However, it won't allow me to do this via my phone's settings and when I found instructions for how to enable this, within the app, I can't find the option to enable it.

How can I do this? If not, why isn't the option available? I'm trying to detach from Google, as much as possible.

Recently (a couple of months ago) a "standard" feature shared between Desktop and Mobile suddenly stopped working on my Android, and this cripples the use of many "secure" websites.

We could click-and-hold, long-press, call-it-whatever, the Back button and instead of trying to go back one page Firefox would show a screenful of pages, like clicking the drop-down next to Back on the desktop version. I could click on the bottom link, then immediately hold again and go back another half screen, and in two clicks go back probably 70 pages.

Why has this essential functionality been removed? How do we get it back? Can I roll back to a specific browser version just before it was removed?

This function is so core to my effective use of Firefox that I would choose it over any notional "security" or "stability" enhancements from having a later version.


Examples of why this is *not* a trivial problem--

On a banking or government logged in site, going back several pages (say, to before the login pages) is critical to continue reading the information you were reading when your session timed out (when the alternative is either try to click Back quickly several times but end up at the login page again, or spend half an hour following the obscure links to try to remember how you found the information in the first place).

On a shopping site, having gone to the checkout and emptied your basket, if you need to go back and place a second order for things you've just been looking at but did put in your basket, it is critical to be able to go Back multiple pages to skip over the payment security screens, otherwise most shopping sites either hijack the Back button or get terribly confused whether you want to pay again or why it can't display the contents of your empty basket.

On Google Translate, it's essential to be able to do this to flip back to previous translation attempts, because when you type text at the keypad the silly webpage takes every keypress as a new webpage in the stack, so you often have to go back 100 times just to get the previous successfully translated sentence.

I want to sync up my devices, both of which are logged in to my mozilla account. In the settings, there is an option to "Connect Another Device". This prompts me to scan a QR code within the firefox mobile app.

Unfortunately, the option to scan a QR code does not seem to exist in the current version of the app. In the sync settings, there is no way to open a QR code scanner. Opening it via the camera or icon in the URL bar on the app brings me to a page saying "you have to do this within the firefox app!".

The only solution I've found is to log out of my mobile app, then I unlock the option to scan a QR code to log me back in. I'm sure this is not intentional behaviour; I suppose this is more of a bug report than a support request but I wasn't sure where to post this.

Firefox 135 on Linux (Ubuntu) and latest Firefox on Android. All sync items are checked. Passwords sync, and bookmarks toolbar syncs, but not bookmarks in folders appear - they're just not there.

Because the bookmarks toolbar is synced it confirms that Bookmarks are checked under sync on both devices.

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox or Google Calendar issue.

Please see the attached screenshots, in order.

The issue is accessibility of the Settings icon in the top-right portion of the screen when the system text size is increased from the default.

Obviously, there's a workaround available. Thanks in advance.

I now have the problem that I am on a large payment page and switch back and forth between FF and another app (to copy payment-relevant data). Unfortunately, FF does a page refresh every time it is brought back to the foreground from the background. And all the data already entered is lost! This is a fairly well-known problem with FF on Android! Chromium manages this better and leaves the memory management to Android. Why can't FF do that? Why can't I switch off this feature? I can't edit any relevant websites with the FF. I have to use Chrome for that! Hooray!
