Firefox for Android Community Forum

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.

I'm trying to sync data from my computer to my phone. When I go to the settings, there is NO "sync and save data " option on my phone. So, how then do I sync and save?

The newest update now has numbers next to my bookmark folders telling me how many bookmarks I have. I don't need nor want this info. How do I disable this setting?

I hate more clutter with updates.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Android Firefox app used to have group tabs and was replaced by Collections. Personally, I find it less user friendly and requires more clicks while ending up with a worse version of what Group Tabs accomplished. It essentially operates as a weird mix of Group Tabs and Bookmarks while being worse than both.

Cons of Collections:

• There is no differentiation between tabs in a collection and not in a collection.
• There is no quick swapping between tabs in a collection.
• There is no option to Close all tabs in a collection but there is one to Open all tabs. This just looks messy.
• Collections can only be opened from Homepage, not the Tabs screen.
• Saving a collection requires long-press, select tab(s), tap Collection icon, then select a Collection. Group tabs requires longpress, select multiple, tap group icon OR drag and stack tabs.

Pros of Collections:

• Neatly stored on Homepage instead of taking up a Tab slot on Tab page. (which could be fixed be programming group tabs ability to be stored on Homepage and re-opened with option).

All in all it is just a 5/10 feature in functionality. Even less so when taking into account that Android Firefox also has Bookmarks and Shortcuts. Please go back to drawing board on this one, it's really one feature I miss about Chrome (and what I thought Firefox used to have).

Some sites ask me to turn on Java Script but I can't find it anywhere. I tried searching about:config but it didn't work. I also went through settings and it wasn't there either

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?

When trying to sync Firefox on my phone, the second step is to go to the menu, and tap sync and save data. However there is no button like that on my android version of Firefox.

Hi I bought a new android phone (the Xiaomi Poco F7) and I want to sync the Firefox from my Windows PC to the device. But when I try to scan the QR code it cannot be scanned. Please advise. Thank you

How specifically do I stop the current version of Firefox for Android from automatically refreshing its self without me specifically refreshing it? This is such a widespread nuisance for people, why can you guys not fix this?

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.

After opening Facebook in the firefox browser for android, I am not able to comment on any Facebook post. The keyboard is not stable. Please fix this. And when I download any big file, it fails after half the download. This process happens again and again. Please fix this. Thank you.
