Even though I've never changed my settings aside from the first time I changed them to my preferred settings, for whatever reason, Firefox no longer opens links I tap on in external apps. I changed the settings to do it that way the very first time and it worked fine up until a little while ago. Now, the only way it opens a link in the external app when I tap on it, is if I tap and hold, and then choose that option in the pop-up menu. As I said, in the settings it IS set to open links in external apps, but it doesn't do it anymore.

suspicious activity from "Linux" on an android phone

I need help with fixing certs I beleive were changed by an application. I found some files in an application I installed through another without fully looking at the extra packaged material. One seems to be a configuration file for CA certs and the other is a list of SSL certs taken from Mozilla that were included with the intent of editing trusted user certs. I now see the evidence of a Linux device using my Firefox. To me, that is pretty clear evidence that Shell was used for some connection. So, with that, I'm assuming the certs on my device are not correct, and need to be fixed. Please let me know what I can do for this and if there is any other information you can give me on how to find out more about what to do. Unfortunately, there are also files that seem to also change user to a fake user while they gain root as guest. Any additional information including removing and replacing all certs wouldbe very helpful. Im trying to get to a certain point of restricting access and making a move to alert the correct people in Github and a couple of others with/towards some of the files before I do any kind of reset as I am not fully sure how tainted the restore might be.

Hello, due to problems with the Firefox Beta (for Android), I switched to the stable version. However, with this version I also encounterd some problems, mainly regarding the homepage: In the beta version collections are displayed (at the bottom) of the homepage. In my stable version, I cannot see the collections at all. I can still add sites to collections, and when doing so, all my collections are shown but I don't know how to access them. I could not find anything about it in the settings. Is this the regular behavior? If not, how can I change it?

Best regards

When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

Recently, my homepage has started showing shortcuts again, a feature I previously had turned off cause I dislike it and it often just shows random sites and searches I've done. I went to turn it off again, only for the toggle switch or shortcuts section of the customization settings to not be there at all??? Is this a glitch? Because I don't like this feature and I really hope they've changed it to something you can't turn off

Hello there,

I am new to Firefox. I recently installed it on Android with the latest version (I believe it is 143) and while playing with the settings, I found the "Private Lock Tabs" feature. However, even after acknowledging it with my fingerprint, I can switch back and forth to normal browsing without it ever requesting my fingerprint again, and my private tabs remain visible and are never hidden. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and turning on/off the feature but it doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated!
