Firefox for Android Community Forum

I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

Hello,

I am using a website with text input fields in a dialog box. When I open the dialog box (show_modal()), I see the entire dialog box (Figure 1). When I type in one of the text fields, it automatically enlarges (Figure 2). How can I prevent this?

Greetings..

As the pic shows, firefox android has a terrible performance on android to show the code with Chinese characters using its default mono font. (It seems that the default mono font doesn't contains Chinese and therefore it fallback with what system intended defaultly)

So, what should i do to change the font settings? I've.explorered for the anawer and none of them could work...

How to hide the share button in the address bar in Firefox on Android (nighly, single row bottom address bar layout). Together with reader mode and the translate button (if available) there is almost no space left for the address itself. Moving all three buttons to the menu (or at least the share button) would help a lot.

I have a vivo pad 3, and when I'm using it in landscape mode, the firefox app would only occupy part of the screen, leaving the two sides empty. It used to work fine and I don't know what made it to behave like this since I didn't touch the settings, and no other app is like this.

This post is a follow-up to a tech’s response regarding David Cote's Google Play comment: Following a recent update to my Samsung Firefox browser, the option to position the Address/Navigation Buttons at the bottom has disappeared. This setting was previously found under Settings > Customize. Interestingly, my Pixel phone still retains this feature, as shown in the images below. In contrast, the tablet's browser now displays the Address/Navigation Buttons at the top, along with "Tab" links, resembling the Firefox browser on my laptop. Visual examples are included below for reference.

I hope Mozilla does not add another icon next to the address bar, otherwise it may not be possible to select the address... Do you know a way to edit these icons so they get out of the way? I would't mind disabling translation (not used) or share (accessible via main menu) and the spacing on the icons could use some work too

I have an quite annoying( disturbing) issue related to your browser. The problem is that Firefox is stuck into Desktop mode.

Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9Fe ( SM-X516BEE). However I've never experienced it on previous versions ( below 120-30 something). My pervious version is: 138.0.2

Not only that all of my serach results are the same as on PC( since Android is LINUX based), bus also that many pages are opened as if they were on PC. But as well that the graphics is completly wierd.

However I have already Deactivated Desctop mode- but however it's still stuck in Desktop mode.

So my vonclution is that Samsung devices( Tablets) make it easy for itself and make it equal to LINUX/ UBUTNU.

So it also sems that all versions published on Google Play= to Desktop( PC/ LINUX). So please get rid of this annoying stuff and publish an regular mobile version.

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

Hi. I have some feature requests for Firefox for Android.

- pos of the address bar when typing: The feature to change the position of address bar is useful. But other search bars and the suggestions are still on the top. While putting the address bar makes it easy to access, it confuses my eye movements. I think there should be an option to change the address bar when typing. - shortcuts: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy phone and they have a feature to set some shortcuts like forward and search in app to an action. On this point, Firefox is inferior than Chrome for me. Chrome supports these shortcuts.

Hi.

Please, how can I have a normal Firefox display on android? I would like to see the menus, file, edit, etc.. and the bookmarks toolbar, and the extensions icons. The tabs tray I can live with.

It appears you can't hide Collections from home page like you can, say, for Bookmarks. Wondering why?

A suggestion and request (for the developers) give Collections its own page like Bookmarks, History, Downloads etc? And should not Collections be located in that same Settings area where these other categories are listed?

Thanks for considering this,

Keith

Is this where I express my unhappiness with foolish and unnecessary changes to the appearance of Firefox for Android? Please make an option in Settings for square shortcuts. I hate that every icon has to be in a circle now! And you put the word 'Shortcuts' on the homepage. Are you kidding me? That is just clutter! And please let me add more than two lines of shortcuts to the homepage. Swiping to a second homepage to see the rest of my shortcuts is ridiculous. It is better for me to have 10 or 15 lines of shortcuts on one homepage and I can swipe up or down to see them all. Thank you!

I've been using FF nightly on Android for a long time now, I've set the address bar to the bottom. a couple months back I got an update that added navigation buttons and a new tab button right below the address bar. this was the best update I've received, so convenient and allowed me to stop using the menu altogether. everything was just one tap away.

attaching a screenshot I found on Google for demonstration of that layout.

recently, I guess there was another update and the change had been reverted. it's a huge downgrade for my user experience to be honest. now the address bar went back to being one small strip, that squeezes everything tightly and forces me to interact with the menu again when I want to go back or open a new tab...

hey, have a little issue: it seems i'm not able to change the app icon (android). i've followed the instructions found in https://support.mozilla.org/es/kb/customize-app-icon-firefox-android ; updated the app at the store, rebooted my device and finally (the problem persisted) uninstalled and installed again Firefox app. still nothing, the option does not appear. i'm adding an scrrenshot. very thank you.
