I removed the authenticator app and moved to google authenticator. Now, when I try to sign in it asks authenticator app code and I didn't have recovery backup codes. Can you disable two factor authentication on my account?

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

The website does not respond to requests from the desktop version.

Hi developers, I'm running Firefox on an Android tablet and ran into an issue. When I enable the desktop version of the browser, accessing websites (like searching on Baidu) fails to load the desktop version. I compared Edge browser with Firefox and found through website UserAgent detection that when Edge runs desktop websites, it switches UserAgent to Linux, while Firefox maintains Android UserAgent for desktop sites. This causes some websites to ignore network requests and load mobile versions. To resolve this, we need to disable and re-enable desktop website access first, which may allow the site to respond to desktop requests.

Can I adjust the settings to switch to the desktop version of the website? I don't want to switch to another browser.

I am so tired of everything getting some half baked language learning model shoved into it where it doesn't need anything. This browser used to be the safe alternative that won't sell your data. Its the main reason i switched to it. Now our data is being fed to a stupid AI.

I already turned off everything relating to it. But I shouldn't have had to. This sucks.

How do I sync bookmarks? The Firefox "Help" says: - "Tap the menu button Tap Sync and save your data."

I can tap the menu button (Three dots at top right of the screen). A menu appears, but there is no "Sync and save your data".

In the instructions says if you want to pair the device is to open Firefox on Android, press the "3 dots button" and click Ready to Scan button, but if I do that there is no such option there at all.

I am doing this signed-in into my Mozilla account.

i chose firefox for the customization and privacy features. you built this browser's user base on your dedication to protecting our data, time to follow up. how will you protect user privacy when LLMs and generative AI feed endlessly on our data? why boast customization and then add a feature that cannot be modified or turned off in a simple, accessible manner? i fear for the safety of my data and privacy with the addition of AI features. if this integration is not cancelled, i will be deleting firefox.

I don't think any security and privacy aware browser user is using Firefox for access to privacy violating AI. This was the only browser that was still secure and functional and now apparently that's all getting trashed? No one wants AI. Your userbase is using Firefox because it isn't rotted through with AI. So why is Mozilla betraying us all to add AI? Sell outs.

It's absolutely bonkers that the only major browser that anti ai ppl use is caving to the dangerous fad of ai garbage. Not only is it putting user privacy and security on the line, it also gives up the biggest thing people choose Firefox over Chrome for. We don't want to be spied on to feed algorithms that funnel our data into greedy companies to make them bigger profits. We want a reliable, safe browser that doesn't sell our data to the highest bidder. Removing that edge is ridiculous and actively enrages the userbase; we will just jump ship and move to a better browser that doesn't use ai.
