Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

I'm not sure why this thread about an unresolved problem was archived: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1416241#question-reply

I have been having this issue for a long time. The thread reports that many users have this problem. Evidently it was resolved with the upgrade to 142, but I still have the problem despite running 142.0.1.

And it's not site dependent. Even on this very site. (Attached pic has stayed at that load-- I only got around it by scrolling back through history pages until I found one that has loaded and started this question that way). The page loads somewhere between 25%-75% and then just stops. I prefer to stay on Firefox for the privacy, but more often then not I end up having to switch over to Chrome or DuckDuckGo. Can this please be resolved??

I've tried all the fixes other users have tried, to no avail.

Hello everyone,

While testing some fan-made game community websites, I noticed that Firefox handles them a bit differently compared to Chrome or Edge. For example, I checked https://nullsbrawl.tech/ (not an official site, just a community project) and saw that it loads more slowly and sometimes behaves differently in Firefox.

This made me curious:

Does Firefox have different handling for script-heavy or unofficial community websites?

What tools in Firefox Developer Tools would you recommend for debugging performance issues?

Are there guidelines for developers to make such sites more compatible with Firefox?

I’d love to understand more about how Firefox manages these situations.

Thanks in advance for your help!

For the last month or so, whenever I open a new page there's a long delay where nothing happens. I tried disabling the extensions but it still happens. My Firefox (Android) is up to date and I can share a video and other relevant info. Thanks

Hello, I am Firefox Android user and i am having issue with Firefox while browsing substack.com website, When i open that website from a chromium based browser it works well but in Firefox it is slow and in my old mobile(android 9) which is even slower and i never wanted to open it. Twitter(X) is also heavier to open. I stopped using it from Firefox and using a chromium browser for these logins.

Firefox has all the features i wanted and i am satisfied that it is better than any other browser but lacks in performance. It is not smooth as Chromium browser.

Please look into it and it would be great if it just be more smooth like Chromium based browsers.

Thank you
