On certain websites, if i click on a link in the middle of a page (say I scrolled down some then clicked on a link), when i click on the back button, instead of going back to where i was on the page, it goes back to the top of the page, and i have to scroll back down to where i was. Very frustrating.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I am experiencing serious graphical distortions on some, but not most, websites. When I try the same sites on mobile Chrome, there is no problem. The problem seems likely to be related to Firefox's graphics engine. I shared an image of the error. You can understand the situation from the image.

I have an quite annoying issue when I'm streaming something from SVT Play (www.svtplay.se).

The issue is that when I'm trying to stream anything from this site; I've noticed that the resolution is quite messed up. Insted of having an "normal" resolution ( in wich I have all the basic settings such as full screen,Text ON/ OFF etc), the resolution get a bit odd. In the beginning it's just an small screen ( aprox of an 6x6 cm), but when I'm entering Full Screen; the resolution is all over the place+ that the menu bar is missing.

But also that if I'm entering Full Screen mode; the app is " crashing", or should I say minimizing itself and that I go back to my home screen. But stangly the cast isn't interupting. When I'm trying to enterkng the app,the web- adress is missing( not physicaly but just empty).

What's more strange ( or should I say annoying), is the fact that the cast hasn't any stable resolution. Instead of having an normal resolution( cast), it's rather of an 1,5. But strangly the voice is normal. It's only the picture in wich is out of sync. But strangly if I choose the option of limited bandwith it goes back to normal.

But what's more strange is that I have full connection.

I don't know how this came,but since I'm downloading it from Play store. However since the best way is to download an APK- File( in wich my device is compatibel with). Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE ( SM-X516B- series)

Because however on older version it wasn't any problem. It just appear in newer versions.

However when I'm shutting down the app( have activated the option of clear history when close), it sometimes work fine. But in worse scenario I have to reinstall the app.

hello. I am a user who uses Firefox 123 in Android 14.

There is a problem with writing posts based on HTML editors on the site I usually use.

The editor is in the form of Wysiwyg, and if the image is inserted through the editor, it is impossible to continue to enter the text after the element.

Even if I try to touch the right side of the image and keep input from the right side of the image, the cursor(blinking '|') refuse to go back to the image.

Can I solve this problem? If I need About:config settings, I'm willing to use Firefox beta or nightly.

The soft touch(or short touch?) feature on the website doesn't seem to work on Firefox. Compared to chrome, Samsung Internet, Brave, Vivaldi

In other browsers, if you lightly touch a post on a community site, etc., the post will highlight or display a preview image, but Firefox does not show this feature, only displays a system window, such as copying links, when pressed strongly.

This problem seems to be related to the browser's touch function. It's not a long press. It's a matter of short press

I'm everyone working on Firefox is absolutely sick and tired of hearing from us Android users bellyaching, usually about incredibly ubiquitous, very basic features, which somehow only affect our OS, so let me apologize before I begin, and yes I do know it's a bug, and read a rumor Firefox 57 may fix it, to keep your reply as minimal as necessary.

I recently migrated back to you, and while it hasn't been any complex issues, I spent an figuring out I couldn't simply open my browser to a specific URL, though yes I did apply the quasi-work around option of making it a permanent page/icon, which I can click, though this took another investigation in itself, because for some reason Google News(web based url) doesn't doesn't even list as a website in the hamburger menu, which changes it to an app. Yeah, it is indeed an app, but I'm using the URL so this just seems like it was built to confuse, which thankfully a post on Reddit made crystal clear, along with plenty of company of other confused people.

Now my next issue I now know I can't even fix, but simply would appreciate an idea of when/if the bug will be stomped. I, of course, have a couple of fillable pdf files I need to fill in and email, so during my breaks yesterday I finally found(tons of answers out there obviously between old builds/OS) out this was a bug, and Android users simply cannot use web based pdf editors till it's repaired (I'm an old school programmer, detest downloading any app I'm not power using, especially if there's a web based version, even Google News that I read constantly, I stick w/website, because as you know we already have more apps than our hardware's performance can handle. Found a github post, stating this might be fixed in Version 57? I looked at the About Firefox, and saw a 119 number, but it wasn't clear if that was build, or what number there was. I just downloaded Firefox, so do you have any idea when/if any of these very basic features are going to be fixed?

From my reading, it sounds as if this new Android build is still very much in it's infancy, and understand it takes time and updates to get things high and tight, and I wouldn't even be bothering you had I found anything here or elsewhere that wasn't utterly vague. So perhaps first, when is the next build due, and second, is there any specific info as to what we can expect to see fixed and third will there be a homepage button, that we can put a specific url in along with regaining the ability to view/edit pdf files that are web based? I, obviously am just going to have to use my old ad ridden browser to accomplish this, but I'd sure like to stay default with your browser after spending all this time making it just that, and forbthe fact that otherwise, Firefox Android has accomplished everything else I was hoping to nip in the butt,along with finally getting back my ability to highly customize my browser. Sorry again if there's an answer here to all of this, I really did make an effort to find something too, and thank you for your time.

Ive noticed on Firefox mobile, I'm unable to click any post buttons. In particular Ive noticed it when I would tap a button to upload a file (like a photo). While this happened on Facebook and Instagram, it also happens on my friend's personal project site.

This is specific to Firefox on Android. Happens whether or not I toggle Desktop mode.

It simply does nothing when I tap any buttons associated with uploading a file. The button does not visually flash or anything. Nothing at all happens.

Ironically I can't upload an image on this very form because of it, though this button does highlight like I pressed it.

So the problem is most prevalent on YouTube but other sites as well. I'll click full screen on a video and it'll look like it's going to maximize the video but then it boots me back to the home screen. I have to click on Firefox again and get the page pulled up again and then click full screen and it usually works. Sometimes I have to cycle through this once or twice

Hi,

I have been visiting this website for almost a decade at this point, using my Firefox browser, and have never had any issue before. Only after one of the last few Firefox updates am I now getting this error on a "Secure Connection Failed" page when I try to visit it. The error code is "SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG".

I know that this website is safe because I have used it so many times. It is a P2P torrent page, I use a VPN (check that the VPN is working using ipleak.net), Malwarebytes Browser Guard, as well as Firefox's "Default Protection" secure DNS settings.

However, now Firefox isn't letting me get through to the website at all. Can you tell me how can I change my SSL settings in Firefox so that I can continue to use it and still use my favorite torrent site (which happens to be the safest one I know of)?

Thanks for all your help!

Sincerely, Andy

Steps to reproduce:

I use Firefox in landscape orientation on my Android tablet, open YouTube, click on the desktop version of the website, click on a YouTube video, and then click on full screen.

Actual results:

The video control bar below the video is visible, but cannot be clicked. Trying to reinstall Firefox can still reproduce the problem.

Expected results:

The video control bar can be clicked.

This bug is only triggered when the tablet is in landscape mode. is to access the desktop version of the website. If the video is in portrait mode at first, and then clicked to make the video full screen, the automatic horizontal screen will not trigger this bug. It's all normal on chrome. Some other websites will also appear, such as bilibili.
