Firefox for Android Community Forum

syncing bookmarks between Android Mobile and desktop through shared Mozilla account, but the bookmarks from mobile aren't appearing on the desktop. I can see that both devices are logged in, but cannot see bookmarks being shared.

Before the update that just dropped, whenever I would open the app, it would open in private browsing by default. After the update it opens a regular non private tab. Any way to fix this?

Hi, I dont understand the new improvements since the default tab is no longer private and i cannot follow the google tips, as I miss thr history options. My version is

141.0 (Build #2016102631), null

GV: 141.0-20250714153642 AS: 141.0 OS: Android 13

Thank you, Florin

I came from kiwi browser & they had a customized button beside the bottom address bar that can be use as shortcuts.

One of the shortcuts that cna be mapped is extensions. Can Firefox add something like that? That would make ur browser much better? Could be enabled disabled so it's by choice

When downloading, the popup that tells you that the download is complete no longer has a little X you can push to get rid of it, you have to swipe. What is worse is tagtbit STAYS up until you do! Who thought this up some kind of sadist?!

I am trying to enable GPC on my phone as I have been having problems for a long time. When I type it into the address bar, nothing happens.So unable to choose the preference I require. Thank you

I have been a user of Firefox Android for years, During all this time, I defaulted my Tabs View to the Private Tabs View for higher security. I would only move to a Standard non-Private Tabs View on rare occasions.

Now, suddenly in the past several days, when I select my browser, it no longer defaults to the Private View. Rather, it goes directly to the standard Tabs View and I must select the Private Tabs View manually. This occurs every time I exit my browser and return. Has there been a change recently applied that no longer allows me a Private Tabs View upon selecting my browser? If so, I do not approve. Just say'n Development team - not good! It's a step backwards in the product's design as it applies to user intuitiveness and security. Once set, I liked having my preference for Private Tabs saved without me intervening to manually select the option in every instance.

Hi, Every time I search using Firefox (especially through the address bar or default search), SafeSearch is automatically enabled — even though I never turned it on and don’t want it. I’ve tried checking Firefox settings, search engine settings, and even my browser profile, but nothing seems to work.

I’m not sure if this is a browser setting, an issue with my account, or something being forced externally (like by Google or Bing).

Can someone tell me:

Why SafeSearch is always on?

How can I turn it off permanently?

Is this tied to Firefox itself or to the search engine provider?

Using latest Firefox version on Android 15.

Everytime I try to save an Image or video file, Firefox on Android just says download failed without explaining how or why.

I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried clearing download and search history. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I don't know what else to do.

please, add an option in the settings to enable/disable the menu redesign (the one for the three dots menu thingy) i just cant stand looking at this new design. i miss the old one a lot.
