Firefox for Android Community Forum

Bookmarks folder still takes too long to open when adding and editing bookmarks. When is this going to get fixed? Or where can i download an old version of Firefox for Android that does not have this issue?

When browsing on Google Images, any time I swipe from one picture to the next, it is like the image doesn't want to swipe and is actively fighting against me. It is glitchy, bouncing around before I can drag it across my screen.

This is an issue of mobile FireFox, not of my device. Swiping and scrolling on other web browsers, such as Samsung Internet or Google Chrome, is seamless and buttery smooth.

Happens daily at random, click on link it opens Firefox to a black screen, fails to load requested page. I close app then click link again and it works perfectly. This is not desktop browser. I empty cache , no change. Any help, Thank You

Version 149. After about one day of use, Firefox on Android intermittently hangs for about five seconds, several times per minute. Attempting to select links during this time are ignored and the selection usually occurs after the hang/delay.

The device is a Pixel 5 with Android 14.

When I navigate through multiple pages on the phone, especially when the connection quality is not very good, the whole app sometimes stop loading anything.

1. Open multiple pages or SPA that would frequently make XHR requests during usage (like X/Twitter) 2. Navigate though those pages, make actions that is definitely going to initiate new http requests 3. Repeat until some contents staying in load progress 4. You'll get blank page if you open new page from now on 5. Killing the process (in app details) would reset this behavior.

Feels like there is a connection or worker thread pool that is running out of available resources.

i am using honor magicpad2 today there is non sync with my keyboard and mozilla.looking for update but none .my keyboard was working well but not i cant see what i wrote .everything comes later.thanks.

Latest version(s) of Firefox on my Android 16 Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra are not happy - go to open a new tab and the entire app freezes - after about 10s I get offered the option of waiting - which does nothing, the same message reappears again 10s later - or closing the app.

Have been trying to find resolution as Firefox is my browser of choice but nothing so far besides reverting to an old build of around 140 and refusing to upgrade.

Please can this be looked at as a priority - reading up I believe a number of Samsung users are experiencing problems with the newer versions all focussed around the tab system.

When doing anything that requires momentarily leaving browser focus, such as hopping to an authentication app or email or text to receive a 2 factor authentication code, the browser will refresh the current page every time I hop back to Firefox.

This usually causes in most cases the code I left to retrieve to become expired as it now wants a new one when the page refreshes. In most cases this also wipes out the entire content of forms that I have taken time filling in. This can happen any time the app loses focus, even if somebody just phones me and I don't even volunterily leave the app.

This browser is slow in browsing compared to the Chromium engine on low-end Android devices. Also, this browser doesn't have a special YouTube feature to "swipe from the top" (swipe down) to see the video in Portrait Fullscreen mode (one video in fullscreen in portrait mode, not landscape). This removes the video suggestions shown below the main video to maintain high focus on the current video. Brave has this feature; that's why I use the Brave browser to replace YouTube Premium. And I use Firefox with uBlock Origin to remove all ads from Facebook only. So in short, I use Firefox to browse Facebook and I use the Brave browser to watch YouTube. (You might wonder why I don't use Brave to browse Facebook? Brave's built-in ad blocker is weaker than uBlock Origin, which can't remove all Facebook ads even in aggressive mode. That's why I use Firefox for Facebook). But I want everything in Firefox Android. Please focus on popular platforms like Facebook and YouTube, so that people think that we don't need to buy Premium; we can use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension without buying Premium for removing ads.

Hello, I encountered an issue when using Firefox for Android. My device supports a 120Hz refresh rate, but in my Firefox for Android, only the browser UI runs at 120Hz while the web content runs at 60Hz.

Interestingly, when the menu is opened, even though the web content is covered by the menu, its refresh rate is shown to have increased to 120Hz. Then, after the menu is closed, the refresh rate reverts back.

Keyboard randomly does not disappear after changing focus out of text fields, it becomes transparent and I have to change view mode from vertical to horizontal for it to disappear.

My name is Dr Tahmeena HazratyOmid. I use Firefox on my Android phone. Recently the browser became slow and YouTube videos do not play smoothly. I tried restarting the phone but the problem is still there. Please help me solve this problem.

When starting firefox on android and pc, it will take a long time (in relation to other browsers) to display any webpage I gave set as default. Even Google search takes a long time to display. It's not the speed at which te page is loaded, is the time between the start of firefox and any action. Even the adresbar stays empty during this time as if firefox is stalled. I've installed a fresh Firefox instalation and removed all add-ons (recommended or not) and Firefox still start ms slow. On my pc I can see the cpu and ssd speeds and for a second of 15, while Firefox loads, the cpu usage seems normal (6 core with no other program using all cpu cores or without any cores above 15%) and the ssd (NVMe) isn't even above 1%.

And with the android version, switching temporary to another program (to look something up) causes the webpage te become blank or black and requires an refresh (for instance, if I switch to another app, this page will be blank, or back and all this text wil be gone because I have to reload thus page) it only affects the web pages, not Firefox itself (the menu an adresbar wil stil display correct) and the refresh, no matter how fast it loads after the initial firefox start, Will be as slow as if firefox is (again) starting.

I do not want to switch to another browser. Even with these annoying problems, but if these problems can be removed, I will enjoy firefox even more!

Whatever changes were implemented around start of March 2026 have made bookmarks almost completely unusable for me on Firefox Android. I have a set of bookmarks shared between my phone and my synced desktops, and they're all in folders within the Bookmarks Menu folder under bookmarks.

Since the change I mentioned, when I go to edit the folder a mobile webpage bookmark is in, it shows me the bookmark details, and when I click to change the folder, it shows me the Bookmarks Menu folder and the Bookmarks Toolbar folder and one other folder. Normally at this point I would expand the Bookmarks menu folder to see the subfolders and select one. But after I click on Bookmarks Menu it takes many minutes to expand (I don't know how long; I needed to do other things so I went away and came back to it) and many minutes to expand any lower layers in the hierarchy.

This is completely unacceptable. If you offer a bookmarks service, it should be possible to expand the folders of bookmarks within 3 seconds. It is completely impractical for it to take multiple minutes to expand each folder level, especially since Firefox always collapses all the folders before the next time I try to edit a bookmark folder.

Please fix this ASAP!!

This problem is worst when doing online shopping. When entering card details, I will often need to switch to my banking app to confirm a transaction. When I return to Firefox this will then reload the page, usually losing the transaction state and making it impossible to complete the purchase.

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!
