Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!

Does Mozilla offer somewhere to download older versions of Firefox for Android? I've had problems since November when I got this phone and downloaded the latest version of Firefox and every update since with no fix. I'm not able to view comments or make a comment on YouTube. Other people here have the same problem. I've disabled add-ons, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There's also an annoying Firefox pop-up when viewing videos in full screen that can be fixed by adjusting a setting in about:config but I've just discovered about: config has been removed!!! 90% of my internet usage is YouTube using Firefox for Android, so the problems are significant to me. An older version works perfectly on my older phone and would like that version on my new phone. Is there a way I can do this? Thank you.

Hello all,

I have been having a problem while accessing the websites of some utility bills when using Firefox. For example, on this utility portal for viewing a bill, all the interactive elements like buttons and dropdowns did not behave well.

I've tried clearing my cache and disabling add-ons, but that didn't seem to do the trick. Has anyone else had any issues with Firefox compatibility on particular websites? Are there settings I can try changing?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

yubikey passkey auto fails on samsung devices

Here is a "story": 1. I want to sign in into github using a passkey stored on my yubikey 2. I plug in my yubikey 5C into my phone (samsung z flip 6) 3. I open github.com in firefox 4. I press "sign in with a passkey" 5. Firefox opens some samsung chooser, I choose "other devices > show qr code" 6. login fails and firefox opens Google's prompt to enter pin for the yubikey (but the login already failed, so it does not matter)

My roommate experiences the same bug with his yubikey and his samsung S24.

Doing the same in chrome works. Instead of opening samsung thing it opens Google thing directly where I can choose "use a different device" and it works after that (no login fail).

Is this a known issue? Can I do something to fix it or at least debug it?

(images are, in order, "prompt when using 'sign in with a passkey' in firefox", "login fails as soon as I tap 'show QR code'", and "prompt when using 'sign in with a passkey' in chrome)

Hello. When I look up a word at a Merriam-Webster site like https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ or https://www.merriam-webster.com/ with the Android version of Firefox, it cannot play the pronunciation of the word correctly especially after it is played once. It is kind of divided in segments with abrupt stops. In other words it is not played smoothly.

This has been being continuing for a few months now, and updating Firefox has not improved. I think it is a bug, but I do not know how to report it. Does anyone know how?

Hello. I've troubleshooted an error that I suspect may be a technical issue caused by the Firefox browser. I've provided information below for additional troubleshooting:

PROBLEM: Broken Link to Amazon.com from the Libby Application on an Samsung Galaxy S23 (Android 14 OS) I noticed an error using Libby via mobile app versus desktop app. When choosing to read a library book via Kindle through the Libby mobile app, the link sending me to Amazon for checkout via Firefox initially works but after sign-in will error saying "We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site." However, whenever the same process is done using the desktop, the Amazon error screen no longer occurs.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS: - Turned off VPN - Reinstalled Libby app & restarted device: no change - Deleted browser cache: no change - Service Ticket to Libby: Libby indicated it may be an Amazon issue - Service Ticket to Amazon: Amazon indicated it may be a Firefox issue - Tried the same process/link using Firefox desktop: sign-in worked - Tried the same process/link using Google Chrome mobile: sign-in worked - Verified the same process/link using Firefox desktop: sign-in still did not work

From what I can deduce, there may be an issue using the link from a mobile device using Firefox on an Android OS device. Is there any other resolve to this?
