The navigation bar (forward, back, tabs) is gone. I did not change any settings. Clearing cache, reinstalling, switching to the standard Firefox app did not bring it back.

Auto-Reload Tabs in Firefox Android

Hey everyone

I had his problem for a while now and don't find a solution for the mobile version:

There are more and more websites that have 2-factor-authebtufication etc. With Firefox right now, when I start the login process and leave/minimize the app to go read my sms code / confirm my login attempt in another app (paypal, etc), and then go back to firefox, the login page has reloaded and often that means it left the confirmation screen and got back to the login page where I have to put my credentials in again. *endless circle*.

I read about it a bit and it might have different problems, I heard it can me a phone/bsttery optimization problem, but it almost certainely is the Firefox Settings, cause with Chrome it works fine! At rhis point, this happens so often that I needed to change my default browser, very sadly. Any suggestions?

Running Poco F6, HyperOs 2.0.2.0, Android 15, Firefox 138.04

Hi. I use Firefox for Android. In settings, there is an option called "external download manager" (an approximate translation from my language; framed on the screenshot anyway). And I can't resolve the difference whether I turn it on or not. What does this affect? Thanks in advance!

I've read that the incidence of a web page removing basic browser elements like the address box and ellipsis menu from the UI is called 'stripping.' I'm not sure if that term is accurate, but the phenomenon I just described is occurring more often on my Firefox Android browser. The obvious navigational disadvantages of that arrangement are joined by an inability to save page-specific shortcuts to my phone's screen. The query 'stripping' in this Help Community's search box provided no useful results, so I'm asking here if there's anything I can do in my settings (or by any other means) to block websites from forcing that behavior upon my Android browser?

I have a Google Pixel 8a, 2025, and of course Google wants me to use all their products. I want to make Firefox my default search engine. But it's not a choice, rather you have to manually enter the information for Firefox and they require an URL to register Firefox to the phone and be used as the default Browser. But Firefox doesn't have any URL that I can find to use, even on the Mozilla Support forum . Can anyone give me direction on what to put in to make Firefox my primary browser? Thanks! Jim
