Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

Firefox still eating too much RAM when to many tabs are open, optimisation would always be welcome naturally.

But maybe also looking into something like a system, that puts certain tabs that haven't been used for a long time into something like a sleep mode?

I am in Toronto Canada!!! For decades!!! (Have traveled occasionally to Paris Italy New York Buffalo.) But, for years Moronic Firefox has "INSISTED" that I'm in Australia and won't be changed!!! Despite endless (and often only marginally relevent)setup options, this very fundamental piece of "search" information appears 'immune' to human/user change. If the option to address this is, in fact, available, it has been superbly buried! Despite my long-term preference for Firefox for a number of reasons, I give up! And will -sadly- delete Firefox unless a sane USER-FRIENDLY solution is immediately available. Best wishes, JLR

New version 144.0 just arrived and a bad surprise for me. I'm often using the shortcuts in the start page, but these are limited now to the first 8 icons and can not be scrolled. To see the others I need to click on Show All. This seems to me as a very bad update Up through Firefox Android 143 Shortcuts on the new tab page could be quickly side-scrolled, but that appears to be removed in 144, which I find significantly more clumsy. Please restore the prior behavior, at least and I hope it will be corrected Thank you. and copy and paste is broken on android mobile (Sorry I had to blur sole of my pint shortcuts)

I used to have the https-only mode on, but I have since turned it because I'm unable to hit an http only site. However turning off this setting does not work. After disabling, I have tried disabling all extensions and forced an app restart, but I'm still being forced to https for a site I'm trying to use http for. I am not being forced in a private tab, so this makes me think that disabling https-only doesn't work anymore...

Witam, chciałbym zgłosić bardzo nietypowy problem z przeglądarką Firefox na Androidzie. W nocy z 18 na 19 października (około 23:00–6:00) przeglądarka Firefox zużyła 49,6 GB danych komórkowych, mimo że telefon był zablokowany, a ja spałem.

Nie miałem otwartych żadnych kart wideo, nie pobierałem plików ani nie używałem aplikacji. W statystykach systemowych (Android, sekcja „Zużycie danych”) widnieje informacja, że:

dane w tle: 49,59 GB,

dane w pierwszym planie: 14 MB.


Wersja Firefoksa: 144.0 (Android) System: Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Telefon: Redmi K20 Pro Professional Konta Firefox są zsynchronizowane z komputerem. Nie mam zainstalowanych nietypowych rozszerzeń.

Załączam zrzut ekranu pokazujący zużycie danych.

Czy możecie pomóc ustalić, co mogło wywołać tak ogromne pobieranie danych w tle? Czy to mogło być np. błąd synchronizacji, cache lub jakaś aktualizacja PWA / service workerów?

Dziękuję z góry za pomoc!

Pozdrawiam, Tomek

Hello, I’d like to report a very unusual issue with Firefox on Android. During the night from October 18 to 19 (around 23:00–06:00), Firefox used 49.6 GB of mobile data, even though my phone was locked and unused.

There were no videos, downloads, or active tabs running. According to Android’s data usage details:

Background data: 49.59 GB

Foreground data: 14 MB


Firefox version: 144.0 (Android) System: Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Phone: Redmi K20 Pro Professional Firefox account is synced with my desktop browser. No unusual add-ons are installed.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the data usage statistics.

Could you please help identify what process could cause such massive background data consumption? Maybe a synchronization loop, cache download, or PWA / service worker issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards, Tomek

Verifying account sign-in on an Android:phone is a nightmare, especially in 5 minutes. I think I managed to do it on my second try, but quite honestly, I don't have a clue what I did. Steps need much clearer documentation and/or user interface. As I remember it, after you sent me the 6(?) digit code and I copy it, I can't find the sign in form I need to use to enter the verification code. Navigation back to Firefox via my app icons takes me to a page with many, many choices... and clicking sign-in in the menu gives me a page wanting me to scan something with my phone's camera... and there's no clear path to resuming the sign-in process. It is very confusing. I must have signed in, because here I am, but I'm not sure how. My Galaxy s9 phone uses android 10. When I was looking for navigational help, your help search function couldn't help me find any of the terms I tried seearch for.
