Firefox for Android Community Forum

Just got the new update 147.0.1 (Build #2016138271)

Wondering if there is any way to enable opening bookmarks in new tabs without having to menu/long press the link?

I'm pretty sure Firefox made that function by default before this update, and would be nice if they could make that a toggle option rather than wholesale disabling it.

It was actually useful (for me) on mobile. Made it easier to not lose a tab I'm currently on. Now I keep automatically losing the previous open tab with new content, kinda frustrating.

Much thanks for any responses.

Добрый день! Уже не первый раз встречается проблема когда возврат на предыдущую страницу возвращает на исходную. Например: захожу в поисковик гугл, ввожу запрос и перехожу на какой-нибудь результат, далее возвращаюсь назад и меняю свой запрос в поисковике, захожу на новую страницу из результатов, снова возвращаюсь назад, но попадаю не на последний мой запрос в поисковике а на самые первый.

Dear Firefox Team, I have used Firefox for many years, but the built-in translation feature remains unnecessarily complicated. Every time I must manually select source and target languages, as if defaults and user preferences do not exist. This is not a technical problem, but a basic UX failure already solved by competing browsers. If this trivial but daily issue continues to be ignored, I will unfortunately be forced to stop using Firefox. Please make translations remember language pairs and default to the user’s language. Sincerely, Ladislav Vičić

Hi, i sm using live notifications when listening videos from youtube, but recently the play button stopped working. I have to phones and this happans on both, but not at my wifes. Tried to reset the phone, did not helped. Any suggestions if I may ask, please.

Hello, I'd really like to see the character input appear when I hold down the period key instead of entering a domain. This is what usually happens in the normal search bar. This is very inconvenient.

Moreover, this is not a problem with Android 13 or Google Keyboard, but rather a feature of the browser.

I kindly ask the developers to add the ability to change this so that it would be convenient to use the search directly from the address bar.

I'm just trying to update my version of Mozilla on my phone but can't seem to figure out how to do it. It's always been a nothing operation but somehow got tricky.

In order to change settings on my android phone directions are to open the menu by clicking the three bars and selecting settings but SETTINGS does not show up by following those directions.

I dont remember what shows but if i try to open the 3 bars now I will lose this question and have to start over which is why I am typing the question all over again.

Please please stop this side swipe delete in Collections. Every time I hold the phone at a slight angle the tiniest sideways movement deletes the saved URL. It's driving me nuts and it's not needed as there is a delete X there. Thanks

Lately my Firefox app window will just randomly close while I'm using it. I notice most often on Facebook, but that's because it's the most often used page.

When I reopen the app, it's like I just opened it, not like it got minimized.

What's wrong with it? I have it updated to current version, as well as I've run malware and virus scans to see if it's my phone. Nothing found.

Current Permission Settings for Firefox to open links is set to DONT OPEN LINKS

How can I change this to ALLOW TO OPEN LINKS.

Its a big problem because I have Firefox set as Password Manager but when I get emails from sources such as banks or medical or government they wont open and so I cant get to the documents or url they send me.

I am aware of the risk of opening links that might pose security threat so I want to be able to decide for myself. I dont know how this got set to not open links. Maybe Google because they are always changing settings and adding apps WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION.

So sometimes when I set up a new account and say YES TO SAVE PASSWORD it ends up being saved to Google Settings instead
