Firefox for Android Community Forum

Please add a bookmark setting to remove the counter in bookmark folders. Better still just remove it all together. It has made bookmarks harder to find and doubles the screen I have stuck to version 143.0 to avoid this

When the screen rotates, many videos freeze and thereafter all videos become unresponsive (and even some elements of the Firefox UI stop responding to taps) until the application is closed and restarted. I have experienced this problem for at least a year now. Reddit is a repeatable example: going to any feed (such as r/popular with videos), playing one, and rotating the screen.

I turned off all battery and CPU optimizations for Firefox, which improves performance on videos somewhat, but does not resolve this issue.

Can you add YouTube chromium browser feature that swipe down from bottom edge of the video to full screen mode?

When I play a YouTube video, then I don't want it to be landscape Fullscreen. I want it to be portrait full screen mode where I can focus the present video without being distracted by others video thumbnail.

And guys please focus on popular platform to make them free of premium service like YouTube, Facebook and others. That's how you'll get their users who wants to get the premium feature for free like Brave browser focusing YouTube, that's great. But Brave don't have ublock origin extension, that's why I use Firefox. Because Brave Built in ads blocker can't block Facebook ads. Facebook ads only listen the BOSS called ublock origin.

Thanks for your attention

Title: Please Add Native Background Play for YouTube, Facebook & All Video Platforms

Hi Firefox Android team,

One feature request that would make Firefox Android truly unbeatable:

Built-in Background Play — for all platforms.

Currently, to play YouTube or Facebook videos in the background, users have to manually switch to Desktop Mode, which is a frustrating and confusing workaround. Most users don't even know this trick exists.

Please make background play a native, one-tap feature that works automatically on any video platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — without requiring Desktop Mode or any workaround.

Brave is already competing for YouTube users. Firefox can win them all by being the only mobile browser that plays any video in the background, natively and effortlessly.

This single feature would bring thousands of users away from premium subscriptions. YouTube Premium's biggest selling point is background play. Firefox can offer that for free, for every platform, to every user.

That is a massive opportunity. Please take it.

Thank you for your time and for building a browser that still fights for the open web.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

I am using Firefox for Android. I normally use ChatGPT in Firefox instead of the Android ChatGPT app.

I found a reproducible issue with chatgpt.com and the Firefox setting “Open links in apps”.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the official ChatGPT Android app. 2. Open Firefox for Android. 3. Go to Settings > Open links in apps. 4. Set it to “Never”. 5. Open https://chatgpt.com.

Actual result: The website connects, but the page content is blank.

6. Change “Open links in apps” to “Ask before opening”. 7. Open https://chatgpt.com again. 8. When Firefox asks whether to open the external ChatGPT app, tap “Cancel”.

Actual result: The ChatGPT website loads normally inside Firefox.

Then I uninstalled the ChatGPT Android app.

After uninstalling the app, Firefox no longer shows the external-app prompt. However, chatgpt.com becomes a blank page again, regardless of whether “Open links in apps” is set to “Never” or “Ask before opening”.

Expected result: If “Open links in apps” is set to “Never”, or if I tap “Cancel” on the external-app prompt, chatgpt.com should load normally in Firefox.

This looks like a Firefox for Android compatibility issue with Android App Links / external app handling for chatgpt.com. It may also involve the website fallback behavior, but the blank page seems to depend on Firefox’s external-link setting.

Hi, Sometimes I would be browsing on Firefox, then I would need info from another app for instance, then when I get back to Firefox, the page always appears white (see attached). Consequently, I would not be able to see the notifications area and the info below the shortcut icons (see attached screenshot). I would not have this occur in the night mode. Thanks

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

It seems as if in efforts such as Mozilla Firefox would want to elicit feedback from its community of users. However, it seems as if that is not even an afterthought. Many products make it very easy to offer feedback or recommendations or feature requests. Why is there no such thing that I can see for Firefox? Maybe it's there and I'm missing it! 🙃😁🙂

Sincerely, Ali

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

While filling a form in a web page, and switch to another application for data fetching, the web page simply reloads itself making it a huge burden to fill in all the detail. While this does not happen in opera.
