Firefox for Android Support Forum

since the new version of firefox android installed on my tablet it does not recognise about:config to enable javascript, some site wont work without it, how do i enble javascript?, thanks, Bryan

I have created some firefox collections but have difficulty getting to the collections screen. On a collections help page it says "In the Collections section on the Home screen" but my android phone does not show a collections section, just icons. What is the problem? I also cannot figure out how to find the version of firefox that is installed, if that may be the issue.

On my Android phone I cannot type in a URL and have Firefox take me there directly. Google (or some other search engine) sees and processes everything I type. On my desktop Firefox I can type a URL into the address bar without Google seeing it. (AFAIK.)

I don't want any search engine knowing a URL I type in. I want Firefox to drop it on the Internet to be resolved by the DNS.

I have a problem with the firefox browser on my phone (Oneplus 7T). When I download a file, and then want to open it, the message "Could not open file" is displayed on my screen. For example, I tried to download word documents and pdf files, and it wasn't possible to open any of these two types.

I already activated the external download manager but it didn't change anything. I put firefox as my default browser but nothing changed.

I really want to switch from chrome to firefox but this problem is the main reason I don't...

Anyone can help :) ?

I've been trying to setup sync between Firefox on my new Note 20 Ultra and my laptop and I keep failing at step #7.

Sync Setup process as I understand it:

1. 1. Login to Firefox on both smartphone and in desktop device
2. 2. From Firefox in smartphone go to Settings -> Synced Tabs then click "Sign into sync"
3. 3. On desktop device, go to firefox.com/pair
4. 4. On the Firefox pairing site, click "Show Code"
5. 5. On smartphone, click "Ready to scan" then scan the QR code on your desktop with your smartphone
6. 6. On smartphone, confirm that the information listed for the device you're trying to sync with is correct and click "Confirm pairing"
7. 7. On your desktop device a page opens that states, "Open your authentication app and enter the security code it provides".

And here is where I hit the snag. I don't understand what authentication app it wants me to use or where this 6-digit security code is supposed to come from. I have used Lockwise, I have it installed on my Note and am logged in, but I don't receive any sort of notification on my phone or on my laptop telling me what security code I'm supposed to use.

Additionally, I have tried using the email method instead of the QR code scanning method to sync and I still end up at a dead-end in the exact same spot in the process. Please help.

Hi,

I am an avid user of Firefox on Windows/Linux/Android. The password saving/auto-filling works great on my Windows and Linux devices. I like that the master password allows me to authenticate before any user credentials are filled in. I did however notice that on my Android Phone, there's no way to force authentication when filling in user credentials. I consider this a great privacy risk, considering that if anyone were to get access to my phone, they would without any hassle get access to a bunch of my accounts. I checked in the settings, and I cannot find a setting for it anywhere.

I am running the latest version of Firefox from Google Play. Firefox version: 84.1.4 (Build #2015785883) Phone: Samsung S10 running Android 10

Thank you.

Hi, I noticed that the new release of the Android Firefox browser doesn't support printing (and therefore save to pdf) anymore. Is it a known issue or is there anything that I am missing?

I Have Enhanced Tracking protection "strict" level but this link shows result as attached picture.
