Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have installed web apps to firefox on my phone by using menu -> Add to Home Screen Now that they are installed, though, I cannot get rid of them. Even if I delete the icons from my home screen, they show up in the menu when I long tap on the firefox app icon and still act as apps there. I have looked for a way to remove them and have not found one. Is there no other option than wiping firefox's data?

Hello Every One,

I have uploaded this image for the reference, whomsoever may help. This is popping up all the time while I'm browsing on a site via Firefox android app. Kindly tell me how to block this popup's and get rid of it completely

Thanks & Regards Abhishek ACJ

I was told to post this here after leaving a review on the Play Store. The sensitivity of pull down to refresh is too sensitive. When I go to search for something on a website and I try to click the suggested search, it refreshes the page almost every time. eBay and IMDb are the most problematic pages, but it happens on other sites as well. Also, some times just regular scrolling down to read triggers a refresh no matter how soft and slow I try to do it. And that's actually going the opposite direction because I'm moving up to scroll down and it still triggers it. I like having pull down to refresh, it's just too sensitive. I'm using a Samsung S25 and everything (app and system software etc) is fully updated if that info is needed.

It's not a big deal but kinda annoing. It's working alright on any other app ie the contex menu appers near selected text but in firefox it appears only on the right side. How can it be fixed?

Every time I open Firefox Nightly it opens Google Play Store to get me to rate the app.

This is a usability nightmare.

It asked me to rate the app originally and I pressed whatever the 'not just now' option was.

Now I get taken to the Google Play Store every time I launch Firefox Nightly. I cannot find any setting to revert this, and have no intention of leaving a review.

Hello,

My Firefox is permanently on "Desktop site" ON option. No matter how I constantly set it OFF, it always opens next link ON.

How can I make it not change that setting, unless I do it by hand, please?

I live in New Zealand. I've recently come back here after a holiday in Europe. My phone is set to automatically pickup the correct time from my local phone provider and it's done that so I'm now UTC + 13.

My Fennec browser isn't reflecting that and still thinks it's in the UK.

144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 AS: 144.0.1 OS: Android 12

Is there a setting I can change? Or someway to flush that cached value?

Thanks.

I have a Google Pixel 8a, 2025, and of course Google wants me to use all their products. I want to make Firefox my default search engine. But it's not a choice, rather you have to manually enter the information for Firefox and they require an URL to register Firefox to the phone and be used as the default Browser. But Firefox doesn't have any URL that I can find to use, even on the Mozilla Support forum . Can anyone give me direction on what to put in to make Firefox my primary browser? Thanks! Jim

Hello Firefox Support Team,

Thank you for providing such an excellent browser, free of charge and without advertisements.

I am experiencing an issue on my Samsung J5 running Android 5. When I try to set Firefox as the default browser, I am redirected to an information page. While helpful, it does not mention that Firefox cannot be set as the default browser on Android versions below 8.

It would be clearer if this limitation were explicitly stated on that page.

Thank you for your attention, and best regards to the entire Firefox team.

Unlike other apps firefox does not stay on. I make notes from websites and firefox is virtually useless on my android tablet.there is no good solution for this other than to set my screen time out to never and changing it back afterwards as it affects other apps also. Extension like caffine does not work on android.
