Firefox for Android Community Forum

I found an archived question from last year and from it looks like, the situation has not been resolved. Autofill has not worked for a really long time now. It works fine on my PC but not at all on my Firefox Android app. Is this just something that will not come back? It's frustrating to say the least.

Good afternoon, I have a problem since I bought a new phone, a Samsung S24. I link the account on the phone but when 1 day passes the tabs I have on the mobile do not appear where it says Synchronised Tabs on the fixed computer. From the mobile I can see all the tabs I have open on the computer. Also if from the mobile I give it to send to the computer it sends it to me, but if I give it from the computer to send tab to the mobile device it does not do it to me. In account, connected services I see the mobile device. I have uninstalled the application but still no solution, to see what I can do to solve this.

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!

It appears there are a number of similar issues on this forum but they have all been archived so I cannot add to them.

With some websites Firefox seems to work fine. Other websites in the middle of an otherwise functional browsing session will completely fail to load, with or without a frozen loading bar. This happens on an android tablet and phone, mostly for the same websites. Sometimes I can come back to the tab a few minutes later, refresh or tap the URL bar and hit enter and it'll work. Sometimes I can copy the URL to a new tab where it will load normally. Sometimes neither method works, in which case rebooting the phone fails to fix it as well!!

On the tablet the reload button is visible on the menu bar, I found I can press and hold it which appears to do a different kind of refresh than just pressing it - I imagine akin to ctrl-f5 on Windows. This will sometimes work, but often not until a minute or two has elapsed.

I'm on Firefox 131 and has persisted for months so if it's something that should have been fixed in updates, it definitely doesn't apply to what I'm experiencing.

Please help! I am tired of having my browsing experience interrupted for multiple minutes or worse.

Hi Guys, I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra, and recently, when browsing many websites on Firefox , I'm encountering a flickering blank white screen. Most of the time, the content is invisible, but if I scroll up or down, I can see bits and pieces of the site.

I believe this started happening after the Android 14 update.

Is anyone else facing this issue? Any known solutions?

The download manager is overall bad... 1. You can't see download progress in the app. 2. You can't pause or continue download. 3. Your download instantly fails if you close the app. You can help by fixing these issues, if the app is closed pause the download to be resumed later. I look forward to an urgent response and solution to these problems, I just joined the Firefox family so far the experience has been great, it would be a shame if I have to get another browser to handle my downloads.

So I feel like somebody is controlling my device with their device well with my device that's legally registered to me but they obtained it without my authorization and I am trying to obtain all my dividend and my account that have been taken and stolen and the account that was made for my seven-year-old daughter without my authorization by my neighbors who I do believe stole my dividends because I had logged well I went to go login to my daughter's phone that they had gave her for Christmas and it was an iPhone I do believe 11 or an iPhone SE but long story short I was already logged into that phone and I thought that was really weird and so then after that like there was all kinds of stuff happening like they were making new emails for me and everything it was just getting crazy so I have an cloud account and somebody has taken over that and I have an account with AT&t with my old number 720-204-0743 and they are using all of my information and they're the ones who's opened accounts in my names that used to be my number a long long time ago back in 2021 I do believe or 2022 and they switched it from cricket to another provider or from T-Mobile to another provider I can't remember exactly where I got that number from I think it was either cricket or T-Mobile but that's my biggest problem here is I am trying to retrieve all of my stuff I stay solely in Firestone I don't leave my house so the people that are on my accounts have been traveling a lot of places but it's not me
