Firefox for Android Community Forum

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

I have an issues while typing certain phrases for example: 1-while typing "8oh" after typing "h" it autocorrect to "88oho" and place cursor behind last "o" so result looks like "88oh|o" where "|" is the cursor. 2-while typing "34-34W" after typing "W" it autocorrect to "34-334-34W4" and place cursor behind last "4" so result looks like this "34-334-34W|4" where "|" is the cursor. It is occurring everywhere like in search engine Google, while typing comments on YouTube and even in this particular window while typing about this issue. It does not occurre in adres bar. It does not occurred while writing without text prediction. It occurred even autocorrect is disable.

Why can my account use Firefox's built-in free VPN on Windows, but not on Android?Does the Android version of Firefox not have a built-in VPN function?Please answer my questions.

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!

My mothers new phone won't load external links and mine does?

I have way more strict security settings and same extensions. She has 2 and I have 13 extensions but they overlap and are not the issue. When someone sends her a link her Firefox does not convert the link like mine does, she gets a link in format https://share.google/ + string of letters, when she opens it, it's a blank page. When I open the same link it converts it from that to a regular link (https://). I have installed Firefox to at least 3 other people and none have this issue. I don't have this issue on desktop either.

If it makes a difference: Out all the people that have this browser on their phone she's the only one that has a new phone with Android 16 (mine is Android 14). They are both up to date on both software and Firefox updates.

when Google share links are sent to me, they won't open in Firefox. I have to copy and paste the entire uRL and open Chrome in order to view them on my android device. Pixel 9

I didn't request any deletion of my account but looks like my Mozilla account has been deleted completely, why ? I am so mad about this , why would Mozilla do this ? I received the email from address below nobody@mozilla.org

Please recover my account, I created another account with my email

I've created a passkey for logging in to Google.

When trying to log in to Google within Firefox on my Pixel 9 phone, I'm automatically taken to the page where I should be prompted to enter my passkey, but no prompt actually appears, so there's no way for me to actually enter my passkey. (See attached screenshot.)

To be clear, I can still tap "Try another way" and log in using other methods, such as via an approval prompt sent to my other devices.

This problem does not happen on my Samsung tablet. When I try to log in to Google within Firefox on my tablet, I'm given the choice to log in via various methods, and if I choose to use a passkey, I *am* given a prompt to enter my passkey.

Any idea what the problem could be?

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

Poor *Cache* management is the main issue for me for starting... The *fevicons(app icons)* got disappeared after clearing cache and fetching fevicons is also hit & miss... The tabs frequently reloads even after only few minutes of inactivity or after opening other app for something like opening WhatsApp for reading message, then it get reloaded and progress get lost in critical things like filling forms...

• Shortcuts* menu on Homepage is limited to 16 and unallocated icons got filled with history, why!

Toolbar should be more thin and URI bar should be more broad, *Reader Mode* icon should be shifted to main menu... Dark mode for websites should apply without reloading tabs... Download manager is still poor, the queued items sticks to the notification panel and can't be removed even after pausing, it is only removing by deleting it...

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

I recently, had a drop down to trigger installed extensions. I can no longer find it in the settings window. I now have a single extensions button in the settings panel. As I was entering this question, the original panel suddenly returned. See screenshots. I cannot duplicate this panel on my second device, and I only have the compressed settings window, which does not have the forward, back, share buttons at the top, and only has a single extensions button. Thanks!
