Hi all,

I've read a bit before, and it seems to be impossible to get the tabs available directly (FF Android), as it used to be : a real pitty in my opinion (I did tried to get used to the new Firefox, but really, I am wasting my time to switch on my many "tabs") I guess that this option won't be available again?

Here is my additional question then : how to switch between tabs in one click, or how to a dedicated close a tab in 1 click? - yes, I know that I can swipe left of right, nice feature, but it doesn t do the job efficiently - I know too the "tab" menu but it means at minimum 2 clicks

I've been using ff almost since the beginning as default browser, but since the tabs had been suppressed , I am less and less on my tablets. Let's hope now you are not planning to perform the same with FF for pc...

PS : as "tabs" are not any more tabs (don't trust me, just search "tabs for paperwork" and compare with the so called "tabs" now in FF), I strongly suggest that you rename your feature to something else)

PS2 : really sorry if my post appears a bit angrier, i mean no offense as I do recognize the amazing work whic had been performed along al those years, but seriously, suppressing basics stuff is the worst idea (it reminds me a bit opera, which used to be outdated, but which I am using again now as they improved a lot, and thanks to the FF no tabs policy)

There was an article posted in my slack that I opened, which opened in an internal view in slack with the three dot menu indicating it was powered by firefox. This seems akin to the Chrome webview stuff on Android but my terminology may be wrong. I wanted to share this article with a different group so from the three dot menu I clicked copy link and nothing was copied. I got no toasts or notification bubbles it just nothing happened.

Please let me know what other information you need or if there's a better way to put bug reports in, I'm now just migrating over to Firefox.

Since the last update, FireFox is really slow loading pages. It also has memory problems - when I switch tabs, the page comes up with the URL showing but the page is blank. I have to reload 3 or 4 times before the page actually eventually comed up.

I've been manually clearing the Firefox cache one to 2 times a day. Helps a smidge.

Now I'm suddenly getting Alerts ⚠️ that "FireFox has used more data than usual" and the data usage graph in settings shows a straight up jump to 100% Sept 1 thru Sept 15, less than 5% data used. In one day, straight up to the top of the graph in one day.

Any ideas for me?

Please, if you can. Let me know how to change it? I stopped using Firefox for a long time. For awhile I got whoever deals with that problem to change it. I guess. But it started again. I don't know Spanish. I know English, and I am currently working on Sioux Tribe language. But I am not really versed in any language except English for everything I receive from Firefox to be in Spanish.

When I receive an email from Firefox Accounts (for example when I sign in on a new device), the email is in French instead of English. All other menus and webpages from Mozilla are correctly in English. It's only Accounts emails that have this problem.

There is no language option on the settings page at accounts.firefox.com. My language is set to English on every browser I'm signed in on, and my IP is in an English-speaking region. My email client and devices are set to English as well.

My guess is that a Firefox Accounts setting was changed to French many years ago, and at some point that setting was removed, leaving it stuck in French. Anyone know a way around this?

I was waiting for the address autofill feature to be implemented in Firefox for a long time and finally it's here. But why is it not available yet for my Huawei Mate 20X, but it's available for my other phone?

Also, Why is the address autofill only works for Canada and USA? When are you going to include other countries?

Over and over I keep having to set my webpages back to English. Every time I close Firefox and open a go to use it again, my search results keep getting set to Spanish. I click the button to set it to English and it's fine again until I clear data. Same with when I go directly to pages, it's defaulting to them in Spanish. I have made sure both in my phone settings and Firefox settings that I'm set to English (us) but this keeps happening. This just started maybe a month ago. If I type Google.com it takes me to Google.com in Spanish. same with yahoo as another example. I searched for Mozilla android forum and it took me to the Mozilla page in spanish as well and I had to change the es to en in the address bar.
