Firefox for Android Community Forum

I changed my password, and now when I try to sign-in to my account on the Android app, I keep getting unexpected error message with both password sign-in and qr sign-in.

When will Firefox Android allow backing up bookmarks to a file on the phone? I want to keep my phone and my desktop browser separate, so I don't want to sync. Without this feature, I regard FF Android as so problematic that I'm trying to find an alternative.

All of a sudden, Firefox for Android has been using about 1GB of data daily. My Data Usage monitor says it is almost all Foreground data.

I barely use Firefox for watching videos or streaming anything, especially when not on WiFi.

I run two extensions — Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, both of which I would assume should be saving me data by blocking ads and trackers.

Data collection settings are set to Off. Autoplay is blocked for audio and video. Stories (sponsored or not) and sponsored Shortcuts are disabled. Tabs open for 2+ weeks are automatically moved to Inactive.

when Google share links are sent to me, they won't open in Firefox. I have to copy and paste the entire uRL and open Chrome in order to view them on my android device. Pixel 9

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.

Hello its been a 2 or 3 months I have been using firefox and always have meet multiple malfunction on the browser, its not that I am saying its bad tho I like the GUI design and the features it have. But this recently update i experiences a malfunction that when I try to type a wrong word autocorrecting is kinda multi hopping like its scrabble some words I try to clear cache it and even clear cache my keyboard but still their. Hope mozilla find this bug immediately

I recently had my firefox mobile for android updated apparently, but it is so user unfriendly and not very accessible in the way that the new layout with the dark tabs and small pictures makes it very hard to read which tabs are open and is unfriendly on the eyes. Is there any way I can revert back to the previous version? I really loved the layout and the user friendliness of it and now I am just considering downloading another browser because I am so bummed by this update. Thanks in advance.

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

I'm having a problem where I can't get the old menu UI back. I've done everything I could and turned off what I was supposed to to use the old menu for android but I woke up this morning and everything it back to the new UI. Everything is still turned off to make sure I was using the old menu where everything was to the right of the screen but it still won't come back up the way it's supposed to and now I don't really have a clue what to do?

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

I have set Firefox to delete all data on quit. It does not. Details of closed tabs are not erased. I would be happy for no browser history to be saved but this does not seem to be an option.

Hello,

I am a long-time Firefox user. I am writing to express my frustration with a specific change introduced in Firefox for Android 149.

First, I want to be clear: the new main menu redesign is a good decision. Moving the core controls to the bottom of the screen, within thumb reach, is the right ergonomic approach, and I appreciate that work.

My complaint is specifically about the new tab tray layout.

In version 149, the Normal/Private/Synced tab selector has been moved to the top of the screen in direct contradiction with the philosophy behind the rest of the redesign. This makes one-handed use significantly harder, requiring an uncomfortable reach. The previous design kept these controls at the bottom, which was ergonomically correct.

I had previously managed to revert this change by removing the 'Android UI Redesign' study under Data Collection settings. Since version 149 has baked the new tab tray in permanently, with the Secret Settings toggles also removed, I am left with no option to restore the previous behavior.

I genuinely want to keep using Firefox it remains my browser of choice. However, if no layout option is added in a future update to restore bottom-positioned tab selector controls, I will be forced to switch to an alternative browser. Not out of spite, but simply because the current layout makes daily one-handed browsing genuinely uncomfortable.

I hope this feedback reaches the Firefox Android product team.

Thank you.
