Firefox for Android Community Forum

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

Hello!

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new tab 2. Start entering something into the search bar

Expected behavior: suggestions from the current search engine are displayed Actual result: only Firefox suggestions are displayed

Note: after tapping SE selection button and selecting a search engine (including the current one), the suggestions appear as expected

147.0.1 (Build #2016138271), 7c42d7af4adc37371e296ff7cb1033ce4f39af12 GV: 147.0.1-20260116091309 AS: 147.0 OS: Android 15

For the past few years I have encountered a bug on Android (Galaxy s22) that if I am using Google and within Google I open a page, it's fine. But when I click the back arrow it always jumps two pages back, when I click the forward button it is the same (as if Google is not in the short term history), so that I have to search again what I was searching for. This I have reported to the developers with no fix.

I have learned to work around this bug, but past few days the app is more glitchy than ever, so bad that I felt the need to switch to another app. (So far I have not encountered these problems in Nightly.) The app is now switching continuously between pages, between history and browsing in a normal manner is not possible anymore. If I open a website, the app switches to a page I was a few minutes before. After browsing for an hour with many irritations, I almost downloaded Chrome! Luckily I remembered Nightly, which I've used on an android tablet, because the normal app doesn't support a full desktop mode.

Pressing back button when browsing returns to earlier previous search instead of current search. Have tried to

Have tried:

chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml

Then search for: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

Mine was set to -1, I changed it to 0

But did not fix issue

The latest update severely broke the app. At random, tabs will suddenly go back one, two, sometimes even several steps back in their history, and it is impossible to go back forward to where I was; the "forward" button is grayed out and it's like I never left the page I was suddenly thrown back to for no reason.

This can happen right after following a link, or it can happen several seconds after a page has fully loaded. When this happens, sometimes trying to follow _any_ link sends Firefox back to the same page until the app is forcefully killed and restarted.

Other people have described identical experiences in the Android reviews. Please revert the latest update. It's unusable. I have to go back to Chrome for the first time in over a decade.

I have tried disabling all extensions, and the problem persists.

When I try to upload a file from my mobile device, the file doesn't appear. Uploads from Google Drive are displayed, but I can't select the file. I was able to upload images to this page. What could be the reason?

I play Wordle from NY Times daily. The display has changed when visited through Firefox, remains as usual through other browsers. I have cleared the history and cache. I have deleted all data, turned on and off the VPN and restarted my phone. No joy. All other websites and browsing experience seems OK as usual.

The image I have uploaded is the current display, ie awful and not usual.

Any advice?

"Hello Mozilla Team! I am Piyush. I use Firefox for 8 hours daily on my Zorin OS PC and Android. I have personally helped 18 people switch from Chrome to Firefox! I have set up 'Strict Tracking Protection' and 'Max DNS Protection' for all of them. I love how secure it is and I'm sharing my technical data to help you improve. Keep up the great work!"

Hallo, bitte meine Emailadresse [email 1 removed]@pcpm.ch löschen und gegen [email 2 removed]@gmail.com ersetzen. [email 1 removed]@pcpm.ch gibt es nicht mehr und kann nicht drauf zugegriffen werden. Antworten bitte an die neue Emailadresse senden. Danke

When you leave the app, the page often reloads. This does not occur in Chromium-based browsers (such as Chrome or Brave). And compared to Chromium-based browsers, it's slower and uses more memory, making it difficult to use.

I have received an email from what looks like Mozilla, it says that there has been a massive data breach and my details were compromised. I'm checking to verify if this is correct.

I have read replies to this problem of "no ready to scan button to tap" but find no answer. I'm signed in to the App - there is no "ready to scan " button  ??? Please provide a solution.

I can't get Firefox to enable the Javascript. I go to sites that rely on Javascript, but I don't know what browsers give me security and Javascript at the same time.

I use a Galaxy A21. It still has the OEM Samsung browser.

What can I use that isn't Goole.
