Firefox Focus Support Forum

I am trying to link my Firefox browser on my laptop to Firefox focus. On my laptop it says to open the code scanner on your Firefox app. I can’t figure out how to do that. Please help

Hi

I'm on Firefox Focus v97.1.1 and I'm getting ads on websites like clickhole.com and thedailymash.com even though I have ad blocking turned on. Am I missing something or is FXF broken?

Thanks

Before setting my default browser to Focus, it was normal Firefox, which worked fine with TikTok launching links to it, but it fails to do so for Focus. If you need an example, remove Instagram from iOS and then click on someone’s linked Instagram on their TikTok profile while Focus is your default browser. It will do nothing. Do the same with normal Firefox or Safari as your default and it will launch the link in them.

How do I add bookmarks to Focus? I went to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-web-page-shortcuts-your-home-scr...] which was worthless.

I know Focus doesn't have bookmarks, but according to the above page I can create a link to a page on my Home screen. Unfortunately, the process isn't articulated. Second, I don't want to bookmark an Internet Link. I want to link to an .html page I created title My Bookmarks I created which is stored on my cell phone. Again, unfortunately, I can't find any want to access my cell phone in either Focus or Firefox in order to create such a Home screen link.

For others interested the process up to the above blockage is simple. On you computer (doesn't seem to work in the cell phone) go to your browser and backup you bookmarks to an .html file. Give it a name and it is a page of all your links. You can go into and organize, clean, rearrange, or reduce as you want in most editors.

Now, let's figure out how to get that page recognized and opened by Focus. Any help???

I'm a regular user of Firefox Focus on Android and enjoy it very much.

I also tend to use swipe-style keyboard input on my phone and that automatically adds a space after each word that has been swiped. If I want to go to "reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful" then the easiest way for me to type this into the URL bar with swiping results in:

   Reddit. com /r/data is beautiful

Due to the automatic space insertion at various places.

If the browser could see that this string of characters/words without spaces produces a valid URL then it could suggest that as an entry to click on beneath the URL bar.

I think this is small but useful feature. I recognise that there might be complexities that I haven't considered. As it is not specific to Firefox Focus, I'd be happy to see it in Firefox too. I realise also that it is providing special behaviour to cater to people that use swipe input and not everyone uses swipe input but at the same time it doesn't seem crazy to have for people that don't use swipe input but somehow find themselves with an accidental space in there.

Thanks!

My tracker count is stuck at a number since January. Is this number calculated from # of Focus visits to the same sites, or specific/ new site visits to add to the count? Should (and how can I) clear this count?

Thanks

There wasn't an option to provide feedback on Firefox Focus for Android, so I have to write here.

I am wondering if changing the position of the toolbar could be made a reality, just like how it was on Firefox for Android Beta.

Hello,

first off - you're doing a wonderful job, keep on it!

Just a few suggestions which would make FF much better browser: 1. Enhance build-in adblocker that will actually work. Opera's adblocker works way better. 2. Enable opt-in function "I don't care about cookies" based on a current Firefox add-on so a user doesnt have to accept cookies all the time (if they dont care about that).

I'd love to use FF but for the reasons mentioned above, it's not really convenient for me RN. No need to reply. Thanks for your work, anyways!

Sincerely, P.

I have made two Complaints to Google!! I explained in Detail that i have Stopped the many Google Play Store Permisions and why? I installed Google Go and gave the App all the Permissions it asks for! I downloaded it from Google Play! Their own site! I was amazed to see a question Do Not Use This For Search? Then i changed search engines as Google were Emailing me Non Stop! So i put focus as my Default Browser and they would not let me Backup my Phone but i have a 2nd email even though my main email for 35yrs is the same? Then if i dont give Permissions to Google Play Wallet wont work and on it goes! Its Blackmail pure and simple i never asked for thd App to begin with? Do i change everything back??
