Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello, I already have the stable release of Firefox for Android installed on my Samsung Galaxy A50 smartphone. What exactly will happen if Firefox Beta for Android is installed alongside the stable release of Firefox for Android? Will there be new app settings for the Beta version on the phone or are the stable release and the Beta app settings combined? I am signed into YouTube in the stable release Firefox for Android version. Once the Beta version is installed, do I have to sign out of the stable release version and sign into YouTube on the Beta version? The stable release version of Firefox for Android has unresolved issues, especially regarding YouTube, that the Beta version configurations may be able fix. Please let me know the answers to these questions and any other concerns I should know about before I install the Beta version of Firefox for Android alongside the stable release version. Thank you.

while performing a download, "com.android.phone has stopped" apears, the signal strenght indicator in the upper right restarts(disappears, reappears with the 4G mark, the mark disappears and the indicator works after), after that the phone service and the phone app work normally. the download finishes normally.

using motorola e7 plus, android 10

tried restarting the phone, deleting cash and data of phone app, deleting cash of firefox

tried downloading using google chrome, all work normally.

it is possible that the issue started happening after I updated firefox but It's possible that it was happening before too.

We cannot get a google account because our landline neither sends nor receives text messages. We are in process of setting up and testing a cell phone, and would like to load Firefox for Android as the browser. We cannot download from google play because google demands to send a text-message "verification" code. We note, thankfully, that Mozilla does not (stupidly) do likewise to set up a Firefox account.

I recently made the (apparently) foolish decision to allow Firefox to upgrade using the Play store App. This is on a Galaxy S8 running Android 9. Firefox 109.2.0 was installed and upon opening the App, all of my user data was gone. No tabs, bookmarks, saved passwords or other settings were available.

This is unacceptable. There appears to be no way to recover the lost information, but I am opening this case to determine if there is a recovery strategy. Of course, I don't really want to run version 109.2.0 and will revert back to something that works without losing data as soon as the missing data is recovered.

I'm not sure why the Firefox Devs seem to think that user data is a disposable and unimportant item, but I would encourage a full review of their processes to determine why they have failed so badly.

In the meantime, if anyone has a method that might be used to recover the old profile data, that would be very helpful.

Some notes: 1) No, I don't use Sync (or whatever they are calling it today) because it is a security risk in my view to have any third party including Mozilla know my bookmarks. 2) about:profiles does not work. 3) I'm not sure what version was installed earlier, but AdBlock Plus was working fine, so it may have been a year or more since my last update.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I am trying to download some files and they are downloading and same can be seen in notifications but when trying to open download from that notification it's not opening, also opening download from side panel shows that there are no downloads, also i am not using incognito and I am signed in.

Everything is better in Firefox except the download manager. Most of the time when I try to download any file or video it fails. Please improve your download manager.

As the title says, is there a way to edit file's name before downloading it? Any extension or anything? As in, e.g I'd like to download a photo but change it's file name before I do so, so I don't have to go into files app on my phone in order to modify it. (Sorry if it's easy to do and I just can't find it but I'm super new to Mozilla and used Opera Mobile before, which had that option, so I'm used to it)

Hi Mozilla team. There is some problem with downloading, since few weeks when I use Firefox for download any file/files my mobile signal gets dissappears, for few seconds. Due to that my call gets drop too. This is very serious issue. I tried every possible way to fix this, so I reinstall Firefox but I'm still facing the same problem.

How do I download embedded pdfs. Example - Sample embedded PDF link

Select any Paper and Module from dropdowns. Embedded PDF will be loaded. How to download from here?

Hello Mozilla team, provide a way for us to view our downloading file in the app itself and not on the notification bar, for me it doesn't help at all. If not so, then is it really necessary for me to lose my downloading file when I clear the Mozilla app from my recent apps? Isnt it supposed to continue downloading even when the app is cleared? Please solve this.
