Firefox for Android Community Forum

Prior to the 6/16/25 release, hitting the back button on the three button control on a page with no previous pages would open the home page without closing the current tab. After the update, it closes the tab before opening the home page. This was useful for quickly opening multiple tabs, as well as preventing accidentaly closing a tab. Please revert this change, or make it a setting.

Hello Mozilla Support,

I am using Firefox on Android 6.0.1 (OPPO A57). I enabled the “external download manager” option in Firefox settings because I want to use 1DM (One Download Manager) to handle all file downloads.

However, when I tap on a download link in Firefox, it still uses the built-in downloader and does not give me the option to open 1DM or any external app.

Is there a way to force Firefox to launch 1DM (or any external download manager) when clicking on download links? Please guide me. If not possible, is there a version or workaround that supports this on Android 6?

Thank you!

Every few months (not sure if this is "sw update" related), when trying to log onto a any site from an app, I get the message "Unlock firefox".

This quite annoying. It actually went away once but will not go away now.

This seems to be a repetitive problem. The kind no one cares to fix.

When using the UBLOCK ORIGIN extension i cant Join the app. i need to turn it off, then I can join the Firefox nightly. I need help because I use this extension so much.

is there a way to get Android bookmarks behave like Firefox bookmarks for Windows?. it is so frustrating to have to start over and click through bookmarks sunflowers to get to the right bookmarks, only to accidently touch a wrong url.

Back button jumps back two pages. Happened on Google search. Cannot recreate on demand.

Also goes back to previous search if select a new search from the autofill drop down(recommended searches?) twice.

Ex. "I searched Scotiabank, then select Scotiabank phone number from suggested searches. Once there, I select Scotiabank customer service chat but instead of getting those results it sends me back to the original Scotiabank search results."

It doesn't always happen with here but can always seem to recreate by using the back button.

I don't know from which version of FF it started exactly, but recently loading of websites starts after huge pause or fails at all, the same is with elements of web pages if those are located on different domain. This is only FF problem, other browsers load pages instantly. I have tried to delete cache, data and FF completely and reinstall anew, it doesn't help. I can only guess what causes it, probably some DNS connection issues.

Hi! I accidentally deleted 30 inactive tabs that I planned to read later in Android firefox app with button "Close all tabs" and there is no way to restore them now.

I have updated to the latest Firefox version for the Android app, using Samsung Galaxy S20. When viewing YouTube in mobile view (desktop view works though) through the browser, the comment section seem to be invisible and not showing. I have tried fresh reinstalling, and toggled all the settings, but I can't seem to get it to work on Firefox. Other browsers like chrome works just fine. Is this a bug?
