Hello,

I have an android. Google play hasn't worked in forever. No great loss except when you hit the button to send a download it takes you to Google play. It used to give you the link and installs it. Silly me I deleted Firefox to clear space just for a short time until I got the new sandisk over a year later I still can't get the link. Why do we have to go through Google play? Never had to do it before, it's okay if your looking for something but if you know what you need and the website why oh why oh why make you go somewhere else. It's sillyness.lol Anyway. Where can I get the link without using Google play.....and I had techs walking me through it first days trying to fix it when office 365 stopped working when I was in college. No one could fix the Google or the 365

I want to know why Firefox on my laptop just updated itself against my settings to ask first. I did not change the settings the settings were not changed by anybody else nobody else uses that computer but me. Firefox did it and I don't know how they did it or why but I need to know why and how because I lost all my passwords everything's gone. I need to know how I can get all my saved passwords back that were in my Firefox passwords manager. I would appreciate any help that anybody can give me and if you know what's the CEO of Firefox phone number is give that to me cuz I sure like to give him a call right now.

I'm not sure if this is my phone or the app, but it just got uninstalled from my phone 2 times already out of nowhere. I tried to find out what had happened and checked my storage was fine, I cleared the cache or restarted my phone. Is the app having a bug or something?

I have a few questions about the storage space used by Firefox v60.00 on Android 6.0.

Here is a picture of the storage space used up by Firefox on my phone

Cache has been cleared.

Data however is using up a large amount of space (1.3GB).

uBlock origin version 1.16.6 is the only plugin/addon I have installed.

I don't have any downloads.

By comparison Chrome browser on my phone takes up less than 100MB of storage space.

Questions

What is a normal clean install size for firefox on Android ?

What is deleted if I clear the 1.3GB of Data? Will my bookmarks be deleted. Will uBlock origin be deleted (my only installed plugin).

How can I backup my bookmarks to a file?

How do I determine what is using up all this storage space in Firefox, and prevent it from happening again?

Thanks for your responses.

When I attempt to use the Firefox browser I now get a page saying I should download Firefox. I already have Firefox; have used it for years. Current version 119.0 Perhaps I should get rid of it entirely; and download it again? If so will it be able to recognize me by my current email and code? Obviously my email and codes won't change; so I must be able to use them if I reload Firefox/ Mozilla as new. This is the third attempt to solve this. The phone is an Android A10E

Hello, I recently tried to create an account to sync everything in firefox on my phone, but after a few attempts the account page just wouldn't load, so I decided to update the app because it was quite some time ago since I last updated it.

But right after the update, everything's gone: bookmarks, history, tabs. I was brought to a getting started page like I never installed firefox. I checked the bookmarks/history options but nothing was there. Shouldn't the app preserve its existing data even after an update? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
