Firefox for Android Community Forum

Please please stop this side swipe delete in Collections. Every time I hold the phone at a slight angle the tiniest sideways movement deletes the saved URL. It's driving me nuts and it's not needed as there is a delete X there. Thanks

Hi,

Super cool site-isolation is now rolled out for Firefox Android!

I was checking the 'about:memory' and 'about:process' info pages and noted that there only seems two different processes for all tabs. As Firefox desktop achieves site-isolation via different processes per tab I was wondering if on my android device its correctly enabled. Can you elaborate if this is intended and how the site-isolation on android works?

Thanks!

The issue is, whether I am searching via the address bar or using the search bar while using google (my main search engine) the app seems to be glitch ingredient when I hit enter. Most of the time now, I be pushed back to the previous page or the page before that and the search terms I entered into either field has been deleted. This is probably not a big deal and a minor inconvenience for some. But for me this is a problem because I have adhd and I have literally forgotten what I was trying to search because I was distracted by the information that shows up because the app pushes me back to a previous page.

At first this started about 2 weeks ago but only happened once or twice. Now, the frequency of this occurring is well over 2/3rds of the time. I explained this in a Google play review but it seems that you just have a standard auto reply there.

I will try a different search engine for the time being but I feel that it's more of an app problem than a search engine problem because if I just search in a new tab with no history, the tab seems to want to go to almost previous page but the search field just deletes what I am searching for and acts as if nothing has been done.

Please fix this issue. Besides being annoying, it's very difficult to keep tract of what i am trying to search for.

Thank you

I'm unable to share a link to a webpage via WhatsApp.

Copying to clipboard does work. Sharing with other apps (e.g., Bluesky or Element) does work.

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

Hello!

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new tab 2. Start entering something into the search bar

Expected behavior: suggestions from the current search engine are displayed Actual result: only Firefox suggestions are displayed

Note: after tapping SE selection button and selecting a search engine (including the current one), the suggestions appear as expected

147.0.1 (Build #2016138271), 7c42d7af4adc37371e296ff7cb1033ce4f39af12 GV: 147.0.1-20260116091309 AS: 147.0 OS: Android 15

For the past few years I have encountered a bug on Android (Galaxy s22) that if I am using Google and within Google I open a page, it's fine. But when I click the back arrow it always jumps two pages back, when I click the forward button it is the same (as if Google is not in the short term history), so that I have to search again what I was searching for. This I have reported to the developers with no fix.

I have learned to work around this bug, but past few days the app is more glitchy than ever, so bad that I felt the need to switch to another app. (So far I have not encountered these problems in Nightly.) The app is now switching continuously between pages, between history and browsing in a normal manner is not possible anymore. If I open a website, the app switches to a page I was a few minutes before. After browsing for an hour with many irritations, I almost downloaded Chrome! Luckily I remembered Nightly, which I've used on an android tablet, because the normal app doesn't support a full desktop mode.

Pressing back button when browsing returns to earlier previous search instead of current search. Have tried to

Have tried:

chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml

Then search for: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

Mine was set to -1, I changed it to 0

But did not fix issue

The latest update severely broke the app. At random, tabs will suddenly go back one, two, sometimes even several steps back in their history, and it is impossible to go back forward to where I was; the "forward" button is grayed out and it's like I never left the page I was suddenly thrown back to for no reason.

This can happen right after following a link, or it can happen several seconds after a page has fully loaded. When this happens, sometimes trying to follow _any_ link sends Firefox back to the same page until the app is forcefully killed and restarted.

Other people have described identical experiences in the Android reviews. Please revert the latest update. It's unusable. I have to go back to Chrome for the first time in over a decade.

I have tried disabling all extensions, and the problem persists.

Device: Galaxy S21 5G Android version: 15

I play Wordle from NY Times daily. The display has changed when visited through Firefox, remains as usual through other browsers. I have cleared the history and cache. I have deleted all data, turned on and off the VPN and restarted my phone. No joy. All other websites and browsing experience seems OK as usual.

The image I have uploaded is the current display, ie awful and not usual.

Any advice?

I want to download Firefox for android. If I can't do it directly from Mozilla I will not do it at all. I am a long time user of Firefox and Thunderbird and want it for my android phone.
