The browser is very nice and fast, but Firefox only shows 8 of your favorite sites on the home screen. Please increase this visibility to 30. The home screen has a huge screen, but there are unnecessary shortcuts like tabs are pasted, and people don't use them anyway. There is also the option to add tabs under the settings shortcuts, but instead of adding tabs when returning to the home screen, a home shortcut can be added, and it would be more useful.

Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

Every time I open Firefox Nightly it opens Google Play Store to get me to rate the app.

This is a usability nightmare.

It asked me to rate the app originally and I pressed whatever the 'not just now' option was.

Now I get taken to the Google Play Store every time I launch Firefox Nightly. I cannot find any setting to revert this, and have no intention of leaving a review.

Hello, I just recently installed the Firefox Mobile stable version, after using the beta version for a long time. one thing that annoys me a bit is that when opening a new tab (plus sign) or going into the search bar directly, the focus is on the search bar and the shortcut area is greyed out. When I want to select a shortcut, I have to press twice, once in the general area, then on the shortcut itself. In the beta, the area was not greyed out and the shortcuts were only one click away, instead of two.

Is this the expected behavior in the stable version? And is there a way to change it?

Best regards

I've been using Firefox to buy Kindle books off of Amazon because the app will no longer do that. Now, for some reason, it's not letting me press the button to buy the books. I can borrow books through my library and Amazon on Firefox, but not buy them. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a setting wrong? What is up with this?

Previously, I had my firefox homepage configured to not show shortcuts or recently visited websites, as I feel it is clutter. However, recently, shortcuts have re-appeared, with no option to disable/hide them in the homepage settings (Settings > Homepage only shows Stories, Wallpaper, and app Opening Screen; see attached image). Wondering if this is a feature that was removed (if so, would love to see this reverted), if it is a bug that needs fixing, or I'm missing something.

Hello,

I am using a website with text input fields in a dialog box. When I open the dialog box (show_modal()), I see the entire dialog box (Figure 1). When I type in one of the text fields, it automatically enlarges (Figure 2). How can I prevent this?

Firefox Android crashes or hangs when launching modded APK-based games

I’ve observed a consistent issue across several Android devices using Firefox (latest stable version). When trying to launch or interact with certain modded APK-based games—especially those with unpacked resources or modified DEX structures—Firefox either freezes or crashes unexpectedly.

Interestingly, this behavior doesn’t occur on other browsers like Chrome or Samsung Internet. In fact, some third-party websites seem to handle these APKs with stable performance, suggesting it's not an issue with the APKs themselves but possibly how Firefox handles local server callbacks, file-based intents, or memory allocation under WebView.

I’m wondering if this could be tied to Firefox’s stricter security sandboxing, CSP enforcement, or service worker management?

Are there any logs, flags, or debugging routes I can use to isolate the problem further?

Galaxy A14 5G, Firefox 142.0.1

The products that are displayed in the thumbnail images in the Google shopping search results are tiny (microscopic). Opera and DuckGo display normal sized images.

Does anyone know if there's a setting in Firefox that can be used to make the thumbnails display properly?
