Firefox for Android Community Forum

Today is February 24th 2026. Sometime today Firefox (Android) just updated itself. Now there's stuff on top, there's stuff on the bottom, (home page, tabs) and I don't care for it very much. How do I go back to the previous version?

A "dead" vertical space appears at the bottom of the viewport, pushing site navigation and sticky banners (like "Get started") upward. This occurs globally across different websites, not just one.

Youtube's mobile site isn't loading since the new Firefox update. It gets to the attached screen then doesn't go any farther and I can't click on anything. I tried disabling my extensions and this didn't fix the problem. The desktop site loads but is not very mobile friendly.

First of all, I hope this is the correct place for this feedback. The release announcement page seems to link here, but I'm not totally sure. If not, could you direct me to the correct location?

After I overcame the initial "hey, I didn't want that changed, put it back" phase, I have to say I really like the new design. Especially the overhang menu (the the vertical dots) is much better.

However, there are a few things, that could be improved, I believe.

1. Make the tabs list respect the URL bar top/bottom setting. That would be great for people like me, who regularly close all taps and usually have only 2-3.

1. The same goes for the tabs within the tabs list (private / synced buttons).

1. The buttons at the bottom of the tabs list (new tab and the vertical dots) feel visually unbalanced.

Thank you, and have a great evening.

PS: please also note that I'm quite confused on what version I'm on now. This page, the browser and the Playstore all say 147, but I have the changes mentioned in the 148 release notes. Is this one of the remote improvements mentioned by the release notes?

Hi, I ve got notified of new update for Firefox, "Read aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader has an update". Does it just add AI voices to T2S in Reeder Mode? I want to know because I have personal dislike for newer AI LLM voices and use of AI in general.

Thank you and best regards

Hello !

Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

Greetings from the Pokemon world I don't know what this you might be but I have taken the browser out of the split tunnel off my VPN but it is still coming up as my real IP address I don't know what's going on but any help at your earliest convenience will be much appreciated.

1. How can I locate the FF version on my devices. I have Android 14 OS. Today (February 16) I located a versio 147.4 will be released. Is this automatically available for my devices or do I nèd to download. If so how.. Ðo I get notifications.

We need to add customization to the bottom panel located under the search bar, as well as the ability to set any wallpaper on the home screen and add a black AMOLED theme for the browser

I tried it, it loads through EDGE, but through yours, if I enter it into the search, it loads at 70%, but the page still seems to work, albeit slowly. I didn’t have such problems with EDGE

Yes what is the official URL search link to add yahoo search engine so i can add yahoo search to my search url in the settings on my android phone. Thanks Graham

Recently, my Samsung A23 5G started freezing when closing tabs. I only started having this issue since Firefox updated to a new version with a new UI. I am currently on 147.0.3 on both devices. I load one tab, close it, load another, and then it usually freezes on the next close. Clearing the cache often allows me to go a couple more tabs without freezing, while simply closing Firefox still usually has the limit of two tabs before freezing. I usually just press "close app" when the "Firefox isn't responding" system box comes up. I've restarted my Samsung phone but the issue persists. My new Moto G Stylus 2025 doesn't freeze, but Firefox still feels noticably slower, especially when closing tabs.

I've uploaded three screenshots. The first one shows how it freezes while I close a tab, while the second shows how Android's "not responding" message comes up. The third one shows the current version on both of my phones.

Hallo zusammen,ich versuche, die neue mailbox Suite (mailbox.org) als Progressive Web App (PWA) auf meinem Android-Gerät mit Firefox zu installieren, wie es in der offiziellen Anleitung von mailbox.org beschrieben ist: Öffnen in Firefox Menü ⋮ → Installieren Zum Startbildschirm hinzufügen Stattdessen erscheint die Fehlermeldung: "Browser wird nicht unterstützt" (oder ähnlich: "Ihr Browser wird nicht unterstützt").Details zu meinem Setup:Firefox-Version: 147.0.2, Android-Version: [z. B. Android 13 auf One Plus 8, Firefox-Variante: Standard-Firefox Getestet: Im normalen Modus (nicht Privatsphäre-Modus), nach Neuladen der Seite, Cache geleert für mailbox.org Seite: https://mailbox.org (nach Login in die Suite)

Was ich schon probiert habe: Firefox komplett updaten (aktuellste Version aus Play Store) Cache & Cookies für mailbox.org löschen Seite in neuem Tab / normalem Fenster öffnen Vergleich: In Chrome/Brave funktioniert die PWA-Installation problemlos und wird als App installiert

Laut der mailbox.org Knowledge Base

kb.mailbox.org

wird Firefox auf Android explizit unterstützt und soll über das Menü → Installieren gehen. Ist das ein bekannter Bug in der aktuellen Firefox-Version? Gibt es eine about:config-Einstellung, die ich aktivieren muss, oder ein Workaround? Oder ist die Unterstützung bei mailbox.org doch noch nicht vollständig für Gecko/Firefox implementiert? Danke für eure Hilfe – würde gerne bei Firefox bleiben, statt auf Chromium wechseln zu müssen!

Danke im Voraus für eure Hilfe! Beste Grüße andreas.s
