Firefox for Android Community Forum

Google maps does not work even tho both the browser and gmaps site have location access and location is turned on . The problem is with firefox for android (stable version 133) . It has been like this for sometime i thought I'd just wait for it to fix itself but that's obviously not happening . Infinite loading or location not detected error . Have tried running with all protections and extension off . Do any of you have this issue ? Is there a way to fix it ? is the issue already acknowledged and worked on ?

When I've updated Firefox ( 130.0)- from ( Play store); I've noticed that the new version in some way had been missplaced with the desktop version.

However every time I open a new tab- it will always open the Desktop version.

So,please if someone could publish the correct version.

When using Firefox on Android for a while, attempting to use pinch to zoom on a web site will cause Android to crash, as in the screen will go black, the G logo animation will appear, and I'll be sent back to the lock screen. It's not just the app that crashes. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as that takes longer and starts with a different animation, but some part of Android is restarting.

It's consistent but not predictable. Pinch to zoom will work on one site fine and then crash on the same site later. It seems to be a resource issue as it's unlikely to happen on a fresh instance and it becomes more likely the longer you've been using Firefox.

This has been happening for several months, since at least July. It's happened both on my old Pixel 6 Pro and my new Pixel 9 Pro. It's happened on both Android 14 and 15.

I eventually found out I could go to Settings > About Firefox > Crashes and get some debugging info, but I don't know what to do with it. I currently have 15 crashes between now and Oct 16th which all say:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Adding window failed

Clicking Share to get more info on the latest one adds:

I don't know what to do with this info. Should I file a Bugzilla report with just this? The GUID associated with the most recent one is 7a5e5497-bb62-4e3c-94fc-5c63c51d0830. I can't look it up in crash-stats.mozilla.org. Or should I assume all crash reports are automatically received? I'd still like to be able to have a Bugzilla bug to watch for progress.

Firefox for years has allowed me to autofill user/password in apps. Now it says "unlock firefox" and I have to open firefox, settings, saved passwords and search! What a pain in the A__ ! Why are you (MOZILLA) acting like all the other monsters taking control of the people ! Give me control over my device ! OPTIONS ?

Hello,

Why some websites aren't working properly with Firefox but does with others?

Here are two websites that I have issues with:

https://bell.ca (Home internet section, can't scroll) https://cogeco.ca (Business internet section, can't scroll)

I have located the setting to allow DRM-controlled content, and it is set to Allow. However any DRM-controlled content I try to play just says "Your browser does not support this media type. Please turn on DRM in this browser or use another device."

This is using the most recent Firefox version, updated today.

Hello, please help on this. When i enter to url bina.az and press photos those photos are stretched. How to fix it? Please see on attached images one taken from Firefox another from Vivaldi

Following update to 133 I am having problems displaying drop down menus. When selecting a received Email on fastmail.com there used to be a drop down menu at top of screen with options to delete, move, etc. This menu is not in the displayed area on screen; i found it once by scrolling screen but then lost the Email selection.

Is it able to fix the browser itself to support background player and allow the website to load and play infinitely in background?(The music only plays once and stops in replay mode in YT music) Also, I cannot see the controls in notifications unlike other chromium browsers.(The images sent is about this)

Whenever I leave Firefox even for a second it's like I'm opening the browser for the first time. Example When I'm filling data in a website and leave Firefox for a second the website refreshes and I have to input the data all over again. Or When I'm playing a video on YouTube and leave the app for a bit then the YouTube website reloads and I have to trace where I left the video at. It's happening to all websites.

While browsing on various websites, as I scroll down, suddenly the on screen keyboard appears and the cursor is on the website's search bar. it is very annoying, and even if I click out of it, it goes back to the search bar and the keyboard pops up again.

This happens on two tablets that I own, both android, Galaxy Tabs of different ages.

Bonjour Madame Monsieur, Afin d'utiliser Firefox je désire connaître vos conditions de confidentialités pour ne pas avoir de phishing. Car j'ai déjà été victime d'usurpations de données personnelles. Merci

Hi. Websites suddenly are too zoomed in and I didn't change anything - not intentionally. The zoom function works but fully zoomed out is too big. This is only in Firefox and not the other browsers.

I've got a new Samsung A55.

Firefox is refusing to sync my passwords. It used to work on my A51. I am signed in and have tried forcing a sync and even unchecking passwords, synching, then rechecking passwords and synching again.

It syncs my history ok but refuses to recover my passwords.

I have dozens (hundreds) of long, untypeable secure passwords... and I am locked out of almost every account. Also I can't get into most of my apps.

Searching the Web this seems a frequent issue with no obvious solutions :(

HELP! PLEASE!

Hi. Recently when I use Wikipedia search box and click a search suggestion it just closes and I return to the current page. If instead of clicking a suggestion I finish entering the search phrase and hit enter the search works fine.

It's reproducible with many Wikipedia languages including English and in regular Firefox and in nightly and even in incognito and with all add-ons disabled. Chrome has no such issue.

For example go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and click the magnifier icon at the top right, enter some word e.g. "Barn", wait for suggestions and click the first one.

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.
