Firefox for Android Community Forum

As the title says, I got a problem with Android version of Firefox that sometimes on some webpages it just hangs and doesn't load the page at all. While it's hanging there if i try to open extension settings it doesn't even load that, just opens blank page. Only way around it is to close tab and try again later. Sometimes i can just close tab and on next try it works, sometimes it just doesn't. I've had same issue with PC version of Firefox and it seems to be fixed after disabling HTTPS over DNS. On Android I've tried changing network.trr.mode to 5 but with no luck. Also ive tried disabling extensions and changing some options but whatever I do it just still keeps happening. Btw its a new install after years of not using Firefox, perhaps because of the same issue.

The question is simple: Are there plans for adding timestamps to search history so that one could see on what date they visited that web page just like in Chrome? The date of visit would be enough although it would be even better if there'd be an exact time of refreshing that page. Or are there known add-ons to Firefox for Android that do that? Thank you.

Why are basic features like editing bookmarks not in the app. On chrome you are able to click and hold on a bookmark to select it, then click and hold on it again to move it anywhere you'd like in the folder. Also there is no "move to" option on Firefox which would make sorting much easier, it would be nice to have such a simple feature like this for convenience.

Hey guys apparently I have opened a web site that instantly installed adware on my Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra 5G phone. I have installed AVG virus protection. I also have installed adblock app, and a Malware block app. Nothing works. I've tried the web fixes for Chrome. And Samsung Internet. Still nothing works. Anyone know how to fix this without resetting the phone back to factory.

Firefox is working in background and draining the battery. That what I see in battery usage information. I have tried to limit and stopped Firefox but it is still on the top of battery usage.

Hello.

I use Firefox Beta as browser. But I would like to add a search engine called OceanHero. Is that possible?

If yes. Can you help me to do that?

just lost several hundred tabs on Firefox mobile right after it updated itself. The most recent tabs show only ten of those tabs, which were all opened and closed today and aren't part of what I need to restore.

How do I get my tabs back? I've seen no 'restore previous session' option. My laptop only shows the few I have open now. What do I do to restore them?

I am not able to share website links to Google Messages using Firefox Nightly for Android, version 127.0a1 (Build #2016020495).

Steps to reproduce: open email message, tap on a link, once the link opens in the Powered by Firefox Nightly screen I tap on the sharing icon, select Google Messages, Google Messages opens but the link address is not pasted on the compose message box. Trying to manually copying and pasting the link has the same result. The only way to be able to share the link is to open the link in Firefox Nightly (the full browser) and then share it.

This happens on a Google Pixel 8 Pro using the latest Android 14 version with related updates.

I love Firefox for Android, but I wish there was an option button for automatically saving shortcuts, which when turned on or off, would not automatically save the shortcuts on the home screen. Please provide such an option.

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

Firefox mobile android version 125.3.0 (Build #2016017559), 9f29904153+ GV: 125.0.3-20240425211020 AS: 125.0.1 On a samsung galaxy note 20 ultra 5g.

I am migrating to a new phone. WhatsApp offered firefox as an option for storing its passkey. That took me to the connection and synchronisation process which the new phone said had failed. However all my tabs and other passwords appear to be syncing. Now selecting firefox to store the WhatsApp passkey takes me back to the failure page every time. Any idea how to restart the passkey addition to firefox process? WhatsApp won't work whilst I'm hung up in limbo between the two apps.

I have updated the Firefox to 133.0 (Build #2016056951), hg-24fce2fbde95+GV: 133.0-20241118181856n AS: 133.0. When I open new tab, and open any website, the default is set to "Desktop Mode", how do I reset it to normal default mode?
