I hope to add the feature of opening local HTML files to Firefox Android version. Firefox used to support this feature in the past, but it was removed after the release of Firefox Daylight, which was restructured. Firefox supports opening PDF files, but it does not support opening HTML files, although opening HTML files is closer to the browser's function than opening PDF files.

Firefox Android (132.0.2 & 133.0b8) regularly hang after changing to another app and then returning to Firefox

Xiaomi 14 - HyperOS 1.1.3.0.VNCMIXM - Android 15 AQ3A.240627.003

This hang is not consistent. I have been switching back and forth to get details for this thread with no issue. But very frequently when I have switched away from Firefox to another app and then returned to Firefox the app has completely frozen. I can see everything clearly but can do nothing at all (neither the web page or Firefox). I haven't yet identified a pattern.

132.0.2 has Relay and CashRewards installed. 133.0b8 is vanilla.

I'm using gesture controls on HyperOS to switch apps.

No issues with any other apps.

Is this where I report such things?

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.

On the latest Firefox Nightly builds (I use Nightly for extensions), holding the back button in the Android navigation bar no longer brings up previous pages, like it does when holding the back button in the three dot menu. Is there a config option to bring this back?

Every time I bring the app to 0 tabs, the application automatically sends me to the Firefox Nightly for Developers page on the Google Play Store, even after I've checked repeatedly that the application is its most recent version. This began WITH a prompt to update, which I found to be normal, but now it will not cease!

So after upgrading to Android 15, Firefox does not respect the navigation bar background anymore (see image). This looks very... interesting. I have no screenshot from Android 14 but the black background just had the same color as the grey Firefox UI.

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks

foldable phones ignoring device resolution making text too small when folded.

I own a Samsung Fold 5 phone. I have set the outer display used when the phone is folded to 300dp. The inner unfolded width is set to 601dp.

Up until very recently, when I folded or unfolded my phone, websites would resize. Often switching between layouts made for phones and layouts made for tablets or desktops. This still happens in Chrome. But no longer does in Firefox. Instead the site has the same resolution in both modes, making the text too small to read when folded. This effectively makes Firefox unusable unless I unfold my phone. Please make Firefox respect the resolution I have set for each mode again so I can view websites at a width of 300px in folded mode like I used to.

Note I have the slider for "desktop site" turned off. When I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The slider doesn't activate and the resolution does not change. (But the page does reload.) This used to give me the option of 3 different resolutions for my screen, (300 folded, 601 unfolded, and something like 1024 in desktop mode.) I'm not sure if desktop mode is permanently turned on now, or if the phone is set to permanently use 601 width, but it is definitely not using the 300 width I used to get when folded. The desktop mode slider is to the left and will not change.

I opened site settings and turned off always request desktop site and nohing changed. I am still unable to get the 300 width site I need to be able to use Firefox on a folded phone.

Hello there, currently it is impossible for Firefox on Android to disable the "Show search terms instead of URLs" setting that hides the URL when searching through the address bar with the default search engine. How may I disable this? I'd like to always be shown the full URL everywhere.

Здравствуйте. Скажите, как удалить определенный сайт из истории.

Открываю Историю - делаю поиск. Отображаются посещённые страницы, но нет никаких меню. Долгое нажатие не работает. А по нажатию переходит на сайт.

Понимаю, что можно удалить всю историю, но мне надо только один сайт удалить.

Why oh why doesn't the mighty Mozilla allow me to organise my bookmarks alphabeticaly. Much lesser browsers do, Mozilla doesn't allow me to organise bookmarks at all. I use bookmarks extesively, it wouldn't take much coding to allow me to sort them. Putting them in as saved order makes no sense. Come on guys 'n' gals get with the program!
