Firefox for Android Community Forum

On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi. I play free sweepstakes and continually get messages that I am using an ad blocker. Need some help where to find the ad blocker so I can disable or remove it. Thanks

I'd like you best you can if you could adjust some settings and enable JavaScript. That's all I really need right now is a JavaScript and of course I'd like to make sure Dev tools are installed as well but full suite

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?

In order to change settings on my android phone directions are to open the menu by clicking the three bars and selecting settings but SETTINGS does not show up by following those directions.

I dont remember what shows but if i try to open the 3 bars now I will lose this question and have to start over which is why I am typing the question all over again.

i'm an android phone user (A15) and i really don't like mobile website layouts, particularly when most websites fit elements to the screen aspect ratio instead of letting me pan around a more traditional 16:9 webpage. i've tried all sorts of user agent and javascript spoofing, but nothing really beats firefox's native "desktop site" toggle, but it sadly doesn't stay on across different tabs or sessions and i have to turn it on manually every time. it should be pretty simple to add this feature, and i'm sure that there's a lot of support for it too. thanks!

Firefox Android on an older Sony Xperia Android Tab (2016) still receiving Firefox updates, would you believe it, cannot access about:config page -- and yes it's about:config I'm attempting to access. Firefox adress bar icon displays site warning and freezes the page load whatever setting i try in Firefox settings.

No antimalware or such nonsense used on the device, just as fake in protecting my privacy as (foreign) gov.-sponsored whitelabel antimalware and privacy search engines -- remembering the recent Bing API-blackout that displayed a Bing search engine error message in all of the so called's etc etc

I'm not logged in on the device, as in not syncing an access all home living room device in any way. I don't need a breadcrum trail of other users leading to my accounts.

So what am I after? I don't want a stored cache of recently visited pages that apparently hog the limited memory and I want to limit the amount of 'recently visited pages'-cache stored in Firefox on Android. I want Firefox to be *pristine (beyond the moniker settings available as 'clear all' at Firefox close) each time a user picks up the tab. So, there's one or two settings under about:config limiting the recently visited pages cache to the latest visited only after closing Firefox -- lowest setting available (?) is 0, but hey, that's life.

Hello,

I've noticed the apparition of a share icon over the address bar in the most recent version(s), probably since v139 or 140.

I don't mind it as such, I don't mind personally having to tap on the vertical three dots either to access it but in some situations, it is actually taking a bit more real-estate on my address bar than I'd like, in fact making reading the address url impossible.

Is there any chance it could be hidden or at least optional (in settings)?

Thank you in advance
