Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox Support Team, I am experiencing a critical issue with the Firefox Android app where the control to manage pop-up permissions is entirely absent from the main settings menu. This makes it impossible to use any website that relies on pop-ups for critical functions (such as payment processing, SSO login, or document generation).

1. Problem Description The essential option to allow or block pop-ups is missing globally. For instance, when trying to access a government portal (https://sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in), a dialog appears stating the pop-up blocker is active, but there is no mechanism within the browser to disable it.

2. Current Device & App Details App: Mozilla Firefox for Android (146.0 (Build #2016129543), 13567a870654c915cd135b87cd1fe4e02fa8fa55 GV: 146.0-20251201213807 AS: 146.0.2 Latest version as of 2025-12-15) Operating System: Android (Android 14)

3. Technical Issue/Configuration The problem is related to the missing permissions toggle: Missing Toggle: In the main Settings \rightarrow Site settings page, the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle is completely missing from the permissions list. Manual Exceptions Disabled: The "Exceptions" list is empty, and there is no visible option (like an 'Add' or '+' button) to manually add a domain to allow pop-ups. Tracking Protection Status: Enhanced Tracking Protection is currently set to the Standard setting.

4. Request This seems to be a UI bug or a configuration oversight in the current Android build, making the browser unusable for many common tasks. I urgently need guidance on either: a) How to restore the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle in the Site Settings. b) An alternative configuration setting (e.g., using about:config) to allow pop-ups globally until a fix is released. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

I've got a very annoying bug in Firefox for Android. A lot of times it registers a tap as a pull from the top which results in a page refresh. This happens for example when I try to open hamburger menu's on websites.

I've added the app version details for more information.

Could you please have a look at this bug?

Poor *Cache* management is the main issue for me for starting... The *fevicons(app icons)* got disappeared after clearing cache and fetching fevicons is also hit & miss... The tabs frequently reloads even after only few minutes of inactivity or after opening other app for something like opening WhatsApp for reading message, then it get reloaded and progress get lost in critical things like filling forms...

• Shortcuts* menu on Homepage is limited to 16 and unallocated icons got filled with history, why!

Toolbar should be more thin and URI bar should be more broad, *Reader Mode* icon should be shifted to main menu... Dark mode for websites should apply without reloading tabs... Download manager is still poor, the queued items sticks to the notification panel and can't be removed even after pausing, it is only removing by deleting it...

In the instructions says if you want to pair the device is to open Firefox on Android, press the "3 dots button" and click Ready to Scan button, but if I do that there is no such option there at all.

I am doing this signed-in into my Mozilla account.

Thanks in advance, Tadej Peršič from Slovenia 🇸🇮

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!

How do I use tampermonkey for Torn? I have the tampermonkey file but I get a message saying I don't have an app that enables me to use tampermonkey.

Please, help if you're able :) thanks.

For some reason after an update I lost the ability to access my collections. I can add new pages to my collection but have no way to access them. The option to add it to my homepage is now gone.

Hi everyone, I have been using Firefox for only two days, so I am still unfamiliar with some things. I have installed Firefox on my Android mobile phone, and the home page has a shiny orange color that I would like to change to another color. How can I do this?

Thank you for the help

i love firefox. i tried Firefox, firefox developers, Firefox other forks. i have same problems with them:

1- i cannot copy link's text. it is easy for other browsers, but Firefox doesn't have.

2- when i use search engine i have probles (Google, yandex, bing etc). Imagine that I search for a topic successively on a search engine. Then, when I press the back button, it's like I've pressed back two/three times. Then, when I press the forward button, it's like I've clicked forward three times. (example: first your search 'real madrid football match', then 'real madrid team stats', then 'real madrid vs barcelona', then 'real madrid next match' and you click back button, and unfortunately you see 'real madrid football match' page)

3- i dont close my tabs. if don't use Firefox for a while (sometimes 30 minutes), when i come back, my last tab turn to start page. so, i have to click tabs symbol. after clicking tabs symbol my tab turn to normal and i can reach the website.

I installed the Firefox update this week on my Motorola Moto G Stylus phone running Android 11. Since doing so, the app repeatedly crashes when I click on something in Collections. Bookmarks not in a collection still work, as do other links on the home page. I have restarted the phone, but it did not fix the problem. It is hard to avoid the confusion that this is being caused by something in the update. Will there be a fix released soon?
