Firefox for Android Support Forum

Websites are mostly reporting that my browser Firefox Android latest needs advanced or enhanced Javascript support and about:config no longer works.

All sites working in Microsoft Edge for Android.

Hello,

My Firefox Android tabs in grid view constantly get reset.

I can open 5 new tabs and them be in order and at the bottom, since they are the last viewed. Then when I reopen Firefox they are gone and tabs I had closed before are back there.

My history tab is also always blank unless I search.

I appreciate any help :)

During video streaming and visiting sites, that use animation while browsing, artefacts appear. Tried reinstalling firefox, clearing data, disabling addons but to no avail.

On video streaming it occurs specifically when playing the video and interacting with the in browser player i.e. just bringing up the seekbar or playback speed.

Device: Redmi Note 13Pro+

Does not occur with chrome and duckduckgo browser.

So the problem is when i am palying a video and i go home the video reloads automatically and starts from the starting even when i switched to home or other tabs just for a sec.makes multitasking a nightmare.chromium based browsers don't do that

When I try to use the share menu, it's not functioning and blank of options to select.

I used to be able to restart FF and it would restore the menu. Lately, not only does restarting lose my most recent tabs but it also fails to restore the share menu.

I REALLY need to be able to consistently save tabs to my reading app and Google Keep as a part of my daily PKMS processes.

FYI (and Unrelated) the share menu's Print does function (brings up printing screen) but Print to PDF just hangs in a neverending download process. This also happens when attempting to download certain .ics files from Gmail. Might be related, might not be.

When the share options are available, it works as intended.

TIA!

More recently the address bar at the top of firefox mobile covers the top of a web page. But it doesn't always do it and it doesn't seem to be limited to certain sites as I've just had it happen on a site which was fine earlier on in the week. This is especially a pain on sites such as the BBC where there are menus at the top that you need to navigate the site. It's even happened on Amazon.

Android 9 MIUI 10 Active extensions: Clean URL, uBlock origin When I open this page https://www.ozon.ru/product/5-shtuk-lampochka-svetodiodnaya-nanosvet-l095-lh-gls-100-e27-940-11vt-e27-240-grad-1100lm-4000k-842322701/ Firefox shuts down soon after. My RAM is 2gb, Firefox takes 1.8gb. I have a different phone on Android 8, MIUI and 2gb of RAM. It opens the page just fine. Anything I can do to help figure out the cause?

Firefox for Android seems to be causing extensive battery drain compared to other apps. This happens even if I disable the browser from running in the background. Seems to be related to high CPU usage.

When I finish typing something either into the search bar, YouTube, YouTube studio, really anywhere, I have a hard time editing it.

The best way for me to explain it is to show you:

Before edit: Firefox is the best browser, hands down.

After editing: Firefox is ntheot best browser, hands down

What I meant to say: Firefox is not the best browser, hands down.

When I went to add the "not", I selected the place right before the "t" for "the" and began typing. All of a sudden it freaked out and did what you see.

This seems to happen no matter if I am in desktop mode or not. Also, this is even worse when trying to type on YouTube studio to edit the title and description.

"All_I_Need_Is_You_exported_0"

This is the default title that I get on a video. See how there are multiple underscores? When I go to delete them by selecting the spot right in front of them and then add a space to keep the gap, it often completely removes the word to the right of where I am adding the space. This doesn't happen as often, but what happens everytime is when I try to add text to the beginning.

For example:

Before editing: "All I need Is You"

After editing: "Lecrae - I need is you"

What I meant to say "Lecrae - All I Need Is You"

It has this issue when I select the beginning. There is no way to not have the problem because there is no empty space between the beginning and in this case "All".

Often times a tab will no longer load links or URLs entered in the search bar. You enter a URL and nothing happens. This can happen on any web site. The Android device may have been in standby for a while.

Workarounds found: - Close the app and restart it - Open a new tab

In Firefox my theme is followed after the system theme, but there is a problem. My system theme automatically switches between day/night and after such switch I open Firefox app, it has broken colors everywhere, until I close the app and reopen it again.

Sometimes, when I type a search query or a page address and hit enter, nothing happens, the keyboard is closed and nothing more happens - a blank page - no loading or anything (the same applies when you try to type a page URL).

I use the latest Firefox (124) on Sony Xperia 5IV.

I could attach a video but unfortunately only images are supported.

I encountered page refresh problem everytime. today i was paying bill on firfox and i was redirected to UPI app to complete payment, but when i came back to firefox page, it refreshed and whole progress and payment stuck. please resolve this issue soon.

All video players on websites will, if viewed in full screen, close the firefox app on my android device. The app gets minimized and can be opened back, but all pages become bugged then and appear in half the page only, links cannot be copied either, the page will only work partially when my phone is held horizontally. This issue happens with or without auto-rotate enabled. The bug most often happens as soon as I set a video on full-screen, but can happen while the video is playing also. I tried disabling all of my add-ons and the bug still persists(I will attach a photo of my addon list). Here is a video of the bug after the app closed and I reopened it.

Dear team, 1) thanks for your work! 2) I can observe a quite important problem which could make me uninstall the app. Mozilla is now draining much power, even while not using it (e.g. at night where I can monitor the problem). I can observe that since I switched to a pixel 8 phone. (Which has itself a poor living battery). The phone can hardly survive a day and a night without being charged. And when charged on everything. It can loose up to 30% battery until the morning. Another phone could be 5%. What really strange is android show me that during that period of time Mozilla was responsible for 90% of this leakage. I had sync enabled.(Tabs, history and bookmarks) I removed it, but the leaked percentage of Mozilla at night stays around 70%.

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter
