Firefox for Android Community Forum

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

I have firefox on my Samsung tablet, it began holding onto tabs, looking weird so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Now I've lost all of my bookmarks and cannot see a way to get them back.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox for Android (149.0.1) on OnePlus Nord (Android 12). I love Firefox and I enjoy having extensions on my phone.

Unfortunately, for some websites (particularly, German news: https://www.zdfheute.de/), Firefox gets stuck loading the website, only showing the empty screen, address bar, and the half-way completed loading bar -- without any progress even after a minute. This happens 50% or more of the times (not 100%), even with ad block turned off.

Opening the same page on Chrome loads instantly.

I made the mistake of updating a working version of Firefox for Android and once again I had settings forced upon me. The Settings menu on the bottoms is horrible to navigate and I absolutely do not want nor need it. Apparently now I can't access the secret menu to fix it to the old side view for settings. Is there a way to change this? I'm at the point of frustration.

Hello, I am having trouble logging in to my Firefox account on my Android phone. Every time I try to log in, it shows an error and does not allow me to access my account.

I have tried entering the correct email and password, but it still does not work. My internet connection is working fine.

Please help me fix this issue. Thank you.

I'm hitting a weird lag in Firefox on my Xiaomi 17 Ultra (HyperOS 3.1 / Android 16). When I tap a link, there's a massive "dead zone" where nothing happens for anywhere between 5 and 30 seconds. The browser doesn't freeze—I can still scroll the current page or open the menu—but the actual request for the new URL just sits there. After this delay, the page finally snaps and loads instantly.

It feels like a DNS handshake timeout or some weird socket hang.

Device Info:

   Device: Xiaomi 17 Ultra

   OS: HyperOS 3.1 (based on Android 16)

   Firefox version: [впишіть версію, наприклад, 124.0]

   Connection: Happens on both Wi-Fi and 5G.

What I've noticed:

   It’s intermittent but frequent.

   Already tried toggling "DNS over HTTPS" (DoH) in settings, but the hang persists.

   Chrome doesn't seem to have this specific delay on the same device.

   Battery optimization for Firefox is set to "No restrictions" in HyperOS settings.

Is there a known issue with the networking stack on Android 16 or specific about:config tweaks for HyperOS to stop the system from throttling background requests? Any logs I should pull from about:networking to help debug this?

I installed Mozilla Firefox on my phone, but I cannot log in or create a new account. When I try to sign up or log in, it does not work properly. Please help me fix this issue.

I've noticed that on using the app that it stalls. I have to toggle aeroplane mode to check to kickstart it back to life.

I can confirm it's not a phone or internet issue as I can switch out to chrome or share the stalling page to Chrome and it works immediately. This happens on different pages so it's not a page specific issue. I've even noticed it hanging on switching to a different app and then back, where the page suddenly stops functioning or loading.

I hate using chrome, I'd prefer to keep using Firefox, but I can't stand these constant pauses.

My device is a Xiaomi 15, I'm using the latest Firefox. I'm using the latest Android version. My Firefox app has only 1 extension installed ublock origin.

Dark theme or light theme doesn't switch normally on my phone. In the evening light theme still stays on in the search bar and in the settings menu, white font on white background. Daily fix is to manualy set phone to dark/light theme. This didn't happen when the browser had custon themes. Hope this helps and thank you for your awesome work.

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.

Android phone version 10. I use Firefox browser. A few days ago I cleared cache and Data. Now I have Lost bookmarks, etc. Is there a way for me to restore my Firefox browser? Thanks Danny.
