FireFox for Android 138.0.4: slow resolving of site names or something

I don't know from which version of FF it started exactly, but recently loading of websites starts after huge pause or fails at all, the same is with elements of web pages if those are located on different domain. This is only FF problem, other browsers load pages instantly. I have tried to delete cache, data and FF completely and reinstall anew, it doesn't help. I can only guess what causes it, probably some DNS connection issues.

No idea who is responsible for the UI on mobile devices (android in my case), but what I noticed lately, it starts to upset me. First of all, the url bar is clogged with icons and I can't even see the website address (screenshot attached). This needs to change. In my opinion, seeing the website url is really important, I don't want to see icons that I never use or use them VERY rarely. And my second issue, is that the bookmarks menu is at the top of the menu, and it's impossible to reach it with one hand using one finger. This should be put at the bottom, because in my case I use the bookmarks very often, and this annoyance really gets me. Also, regarding bookmarks, why can't we move the bookmarks up and down? We only have the delete button, but no moving options. Example - I have a folder named Movies with 10 saved bookmarks. Inside this folder I want to move 4 bookmarks down and 3 up. Can I do this on android? No. Why? Because. So, is it possible to add these BASIC functions in a future update? Thanks.

Hallo Seid FF die Standard Einstellung für die Desktop Ansicht auf AN standardmässig festgelegt hat ist das Benutzen von Firefox eine QUAL. Der Grund ist die ständige Nötigung, jede Webseite, jeden Link manuell umstellen zu MÜSSEN. Es wird der gewünschte Zustand, Mobileansicht, nicht gespeichert, noch ist er in den Einstellungen ersichtlich. Es ist unbedingt notwendig, die Option Desktop Ansicht zB. An die. Auflösung zu koppeln. Oder ein about:config Parameter zu erstellen. ZZt ist es eine nutzerfeindliche Lösung

Hi, looking to ask if anyone has experience with restoring Firefox open tabs after closing them accidentally on Android.

Environment: Android 14 Firefox account sync enabled

Things tried: 1. Firefox Sync (The open tab information was promptly cleared away by the sync) 2. Open tab information from a separate desktop Firefox browser with Sync enabled prior (same issue as #1) 3. ADB file access (no permissions) 4. ADB downgrade install to pull old files (failed due to Android 14) 5. Accessing "files:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/..." (cannot download files and looking at the timestamps, the SQLite files have probably been overwritten) 6. Firefox debugging (Nothing useful) 7. Searching for a way to get Firefox Sync historical data (doesn't seem available) 8. Mailing customer support (No response)

Things I didn't do prior to this incident (answering the common responses found online): 1. Bookmark my tabs 2. Firefox Collections

I have re-synced by desktop and laptop today, but I am unable to sync with my Android phone.

The instructions say to bring up firefox on my phone and click sign in. But whenever I type 'firefox.com' or 'firefox.com/pair' into my firefox browser on my Android phone, I get a version that offers to download firefox! I've been using it for years. I cannot find a way to sign in as instructed.

This has been a very frustrating experience, and I generally expect Mozilla/Firefox to do better.

My keyboard is often glitching out while I'm in the Firefox browser. This will happen when I'm trying to search on websites or in the search bar.

I've tried a few different keyboards and I've had this problem with Gboard(the one I want to use) and the built-in Samsung keyboard. It seems to work fine for the Microsoft's keyboard but I prefer not to use that one. I've recently updated both of theses apps but the issue persists. The screenshot is what I see when this happens; the area where the keyboard should be is solid black.

If I use the search bar that normally contains the URL, it works but I try to avoid this because using that bar seems to get stuck often on a blank screen(or take a while to load? Not sure what's happening there).

Is there a fix or workaround?

I have a Yappy bracelet that uses NFC to load the page. For the past week or so, it will not load; it comes up with a white page. I get no error message or very rarely, just a tip of the page will load, but that's doesn't happen often. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and then it will work. But it only works for that day or maybe the next day. So I need to continue uninstalling/reinstalling. Pages also are very, very slow to load. I check my wifi speed and it's running fine. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A-53, model name SM-A526U. If you need it, the One UI version is 6.1 and Android version 14. I contacted using my laptop since it was easier to explain than using my phone or doing it via the review on the play store. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Recently, I re-format my old Chromebook, then found that Firefox web browser is no longer available in Google Play(10 months ago still OK).

Also, can't install the APK in the Chromebook directly, after followed some methods via YouTube.

We would like to appeal Mozilla team, if possible, Firefox is highly available in Google Play, even the old Chromebook, PC or Android system.
