Firefox for Android Community Forum

Recently firefox for android mobile stopped allowing me to take screenshots. I get the error msg in the subject line when pressing the volume down and screen sleep/wake button. Is there a setting I can change?

My desktop Firefox recently decided to permanently change http to https for my lab Web site. My lab server can't handle https so I was unable to view my Web site using Firefox. I was able to correct this problem by going to Hamburger icon > History > Manage history, searching for my Web site, right-clicking on one of the found items, choosing Forget About This Site, and clicking on Forget.

How can I do this on my Android phone? I haven't been able to find the corresponding functions in the user interface.

I'm using Firefox 105.2.0 on my phone.

Thank you. - Robert

Hi,

I saved a new login on Firefox Android, but this did not sync to the desktop version. I tried syncing manually on both devices (which kind of defeats the point) and still no avail. The option to sync logins is activated on both devices, so I don't know what the problem is. I have tested this twice (two passwords saved on Android) and on both occasions they didn't sync to the desktop.

I also tested the process the other way around by saving a new login on the desktop and that synced to Android just fine!

Please help.

Hi, I tried following this guide:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/

For these add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-clean/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kindle-it/

However for all add-ons, I get the error: "Failed to install *addon name*"

Any help?

Dear Firefox

I recently got a new Samsung galaxy S22 ultra and transferred everything from my old Samsung galaxy S10 5G. I'm now trying to restore all the bookmarks but I don't know how.

Please help. Thanks, in advance. My email is [email address].

Hi there So the issue that I have (on Samsung S21 Ultra Android Firefox with integrated DuckDuckGo as search engine) is that I repeatedly press the back button after I finished with the website and Firefox would not go beyond (exit the browser) the homepage/homescreen. I love Firefox and added security, privacy and integration between devices but this homescreen thing is causing me enough irritation to make me move to another browser. So my question is are the a way for me to not have a homescreen? I have tried your help section and went through the options but no luck I also have turn everything off in homepage subsection but still no luck. I would like Firefox to work (in this instance) like other browsers which is if you continuously press the back button you will eventually exit the program/application (Chrome and Samsung Internet works like that)

Sincerely Jan

How do I set the Firefox home page on Android 12? I want to set it so that whenever I open Firefox or press the "home" icon in the upper left corner, it takes me directly to https://www.duckduckgo.com.

I stupidly exported my Google browser bookmarks to Firefox when setting up on a new device and lost all my firefox bookmarks from all my other devices as a result. I am utterly horrified and freaking out - it's years of bookmarked articles that I'd even organised into folders! Is there any way to get them back?

My web https://nicktearle.net/ loads very fast on chrome desktop and mobile and very fast firefox desktop. The front page however loads extremely slowly on firefox mobile on android about 4 seconds.

I'm running 105.1.0 on an Huwawei running emui 12.0 (android)

any help would be appreciated

Hi, I recently bought a samsung odyssey g9 problem is while I see https://perfectclimbing.com/ that looks different on Chrome and different on Mozilla Firefox. Which I prefer to use. Let me know how I can optimize the view.

Dear Firefox,

Have just started Firefox for Android on my mobile. Just to ask how I could use the Firefox Reader add-on on my mobile, please? On my Firefox browser on my laptop, this works for me, but I cannot get it to work on my mobile. Any suggestions, please?
