I cannot share a tab from my phone to my tablet or vice versa. I can send tabs to my desktop computers, and my desktop computers can send tabs to my phone, but for some reason Firefox Sync thinks that my phone and my tablet are the same device.

Curiously, when I go into my Firefox account settings and change the name of my browser on each device, as soon as I sync, the names are swapped. Specifically, I named Firefox on my phone "S23 Ultra". When I checked the settings on my tablet, it showed that that was also the name of Firefox there, too. So I changed the name of it on my tablet to "Tab S8+". As soon as I hit "Sync Now," my phone changed to "Tab S8+". And when I changed my phone back to "S23 Ultra," as soon as I synced my tablet, that became the name of my tablet browser, too.

I use the Firefox app for Android on a regular basis.

For a long time I have found one unpleasant problem with tabs, when I open a new tab and notice that the remaining 107 old tabs are open, I cannot close all tabs except the current one. I can close all tabs, but the current one will close too. Sometimes I have to look for a link in the browsing history after that, it can takes several minutes. It would be convenient, in addition to the inactive tabs section, to be able to simply close everything except the current one.

Maybe there is already such a function without using third-party mods on Firefox?

I recently got a new phone and have logged into Firefox Sync. I can see all of the tabs from my old phone, but how can I open all of the tabs at once in the new phone without having to click one tab at a time? I've tried going on desktop and opening the sync account and using crtl+h to see all the tabs, but I only open the tabs that were on my phone on the desktop browser, not send the tabs to my new phone.

Hi Community and firerox community center, i hope you are well i write this post just to give an opinion about usage and what firefox should have:

1. General Permission: please make all permission optional and dont force the user to enable it especially location and camera bcz sometime im just want to upload a picture but i cant do that without enabling camera permission and that sometime dangerous for JS based site that can take picture just by using this permission

2. General Feature: sometime im just want to see football record for a match .i.e: champions league and i found the UI or the label that show the info is really dumb sorry for that but we need something more designed like in "Chrome"

- also We need a forced dark mode for the search engine sometime i enable dark mode in settings but the search engine no except "duckduckgo"

-privacy: can you add tor extension ? it really good way for user to protect his privacy

3. Bug Fix: the big problem that everyone face it is ram comsuption for me i dont face this problem bcz i have 8 Ram and i use extended ram + overclocked kernel

-i found also some bugs on facebook sometime the comment input doesnt show up or disappear when i write a comment i think because of screen resolution i dunno

this is my opinion but anyway i love firefox and i hope you fix/add these and thank you for reading

I am having troubles playing back mp3s of a podcast. It's not happening on every episode, only certain ones. A link to one where it's happening: http://372pages.com/episode-5-several-discreet-openings

I know that the episode is only about 2 hours long but when I try to play the episode, it shows as 6:06:55. The playback also acts oddly, jumping around if you ff/rewind or even pause.

If I try it in Chrome or Edge it shows as 2:09:21

Any info or help would be appreciated!
