Hi I'm using speed dial 2 on Firefox desktop. On Firefox Android I have not this possibility to set custom dials/sites on Start page and new tabs. When I try to use the built-in function I see pages from history. It's a big must and huge update to integrate a facility like this.

Problem directly viewing PDF of a web page

I encountered a problem occurring under LineageOS 20 (android 13) on a Sony ZX1 Compact. Can't check if it's the android version or just something with that Lineage ROM (which works perfectly with anything else):

When I make a PDF of a web page with Firefox and then just press "view", the pdf viewer says the file doesn't exist, even though it was saved correctly to the Download folder. Choosing Firefox itself as pdf viewer, I could determine that the viewer gets a file link like this:

content://org.mozilla.firefox.feature.downloads.fileprovider/Download/Download/Kanaren-Wetter%3A%20Sturm-Warnung%20zum%20Wochenende%20ausgegeben.pdf

Which appears to point not to the real Download folder, but perhaps to Firefox' subfolder in the Android/Data folder? The same link is given in any other OS, and normally it always works. Could it have to do with the fact that in LineasgeOS 20 (and quite surely also stock android 13) the Android folder is write protected ?

With some web pages, Firefox provides different links, like: content://media/external_primary/downloads/1000009015 and with those there's no problem. So I think may really be an issue with directory access.

I fiddled around a lot with OS settings and Firefox beta's about:config as well, but to no avail. Also de- and reinstalled Firefox.

Any idea what could be the cause ?

I'm running the latest version of firefox on my redmi note 12 with android 14. When I try to add a website to homepage, I get a pop up to name the shortcut, but when I click add, nothing happens, it just closes the menu, and no shortcut is added to my homepage. It used to work perfectly on my Mi A1 with android 9.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR READING THIS. Am newly signed onto Android Mobile FireFox.

I agreed to the Extension "Downloading YouTube". Then, an ominous warning popped-up. Now I regret having pressed the "download" consent. Recently, my YouTube Premium Account was hacked. There were stranfe noises & unnerving screeches, preceeding YouTube freezing. Eventually, I decided to Factory Reset the phone. Discovered that my YouTube History had movies/videos that I never watched. This is why I thot it wise to have YouTube protection. However, how would I know if the Extension download occurred? I don't see any addition to my App Library.》》 Maybe my Android Securuty blocked it. How can I check this? I'm not computer intelligent. Don't know the difference between a Mobile Phone App or a Mobile Phone Extension. Very much appreciate your help. Thank You!!
