Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have firefox for android installed and have set up "delete browsing data on quit". I made sure all boxes are ticked and when I press quit it does delete my browsing data, however the recently closed tabs section still keeps all its info retained, in effect my browsing history does not get deleted until I do it manually and then quit firefox. I deleted the app cache and when that did not work, I did a fresh reinstall of the firefox app and the issue still persists.

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.

hey, guys hope someone could understand what I'm trying to talk about.

after update to Firefox nightly 144.o1a, in the tab list, i need to slide over 70% to close one tab. feels like i have to very carefully slide it to make sure i really want to close the tab, and it kind of wasting time.

the past version like 110.a? are not, easily slide to close the tab.

so is there setting in the about: config can change it?

like the picture, it have over than it so the tan can be closed.

When I click a Google search result link and that link is for lets say a home Depot product, firefox android opens a tab then opens the app. This causes a ton of useless redirect tabs to be left open. I want the apps to open when clicking search results if there is a app to do so. But I don't want the tabs to be left open in Firefox. I've switch to Samsung browser and this doesn't happen. I click the link, the browser makes a tab, then the app opens, then the tab closes. Which is ideal. I've searched and searched and can't seem to figure this out.

In previous versions of Firefox for Android, there was a button in the tab management screen that allowed a user to copy/share the URLs of all open tabs.

As of V148.0.2, that button no longer exists, and I don't see a way to copy all tabs to clipboard (without selecting each tab individually, which is unreasonable with any large number of tabs).

Is there a way to copy the URL of all tabs in this new version?

Dear Support Team,

The past few months there is a major issue occurring in Firefox for Android. Whenever, I switch apps or i.e. go to the home screen, all tabs I have opened in the browser get reloaded automatically without my input. Furthermore, I searched online about this problem and one user, named Zeyu Zhong, had previously submitted a review on Google Play explaining this issue. Could you examine this based on user feedback and my own attachments in this email?

Yours trully,

I'm having a problem often, after a search, when I navigate to a result. Within a few seconds, there's a slight delay for processing and I will be back on my page of search results. It just seems like this is happening pretty often all of a sudden.

It seems like there's some reason it wasn't done with the previous page, and it's reloading? It could be a Google script gone awry, for all I know.

Maybe this would be a bug report, but I can't rule out a settings change or accidental touch inputs that cause my browsing problems. This aging phone's speed may be giving it difficulty processing touch input. Maybe the digitizer is being weird and interpreting a touch on the back button. Let me know what you think.

Hi! Is there anyone can guide me how can i turn tabbed view display on android tablet? I mean just like edge with tabbed view on android or tabbed view on windows. I can't find that settings, please help me to figure it out. TIA

I use Firefox instead of apps for everything. And do often have 5-10 tabs open. Phone: poco x7 pro 8GB Android: 16 This problem is not present in my older phone.(Android 13) It clears the tabs, whenever Firefox is sent to the background. That means all the tabs have to be reloaded. That means battery consumption, data consumption, delay, losing my place in videos ( I watch YouTube on Firefox too) . I am willing to do anything short of rooting the phone.

I think it would be more convenient if the list of inactive tabs opened in portions, starting with the newest ones, with an option to open the whole list in case someone needs that. That would allow for better performance and reduce the time spent scrolling to the end of the list

After a recent update, I've found the swipe to delete function extremely cumbersome to use. it used to be that i could quickly swipe a tab and it would reliably get deleted. now, it doesn't delete the tab unless I move my finger further than what's comfortable while gripping my phone one handed. I basically only use the x icon now since swiping is so inconsistent.

I am pointing to a UX issue that has been introduced by a recent change to the way Firefox on Android displays the list of synced tabs.

Originally, this list was shown with its scroll-position set to the top of the list allowing users to quickly collapse tab-lists from devices, and thus quickly reaching to the tabs from the devices they were interested in. Moreover the earlier design also showed lists of active and inactive tabs on each device separately, which was very helpful.

All of that seems to have been done away with in favour of a new UX which is just a flat list of all tabs on the device, and the scroll-position of this list is set to the bottom of the list.

Hence, now if I need to access the most recent tabs that were accessed on some other device, I have to manually scroll all the way up to the top of the list. I have 4–5 devices and some of them have over 600 tabs. Having to manually scroll through all of them to reach the top is very cumbersome, and arguably bad UX.

Can we please restore the older UX? Thank you.

In Firefox Android, there's an option to automatically close tabs after one day, one week or one month.

I'd like to set it to 1 or 2 hours.

Is it possible? Maybe through about:config menu?

Thanks.

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

I've been holding on to about 50 inactive tabs for quite awhile now, a couple of them for more than a year. No problems until just a few minutes ago most of them vanished without warning. All at once. What made them disappear, and can I get them back?
