Firefox for Android Community Forum

I using firefox for android, and due I can't afford new ones, the second-hand devices broken often.

Well, also I don't had "desktop computer" in terms of OS. Because, tough, Samsung S series devices used as desktop device, via DEX station. I had only one working device, usually, but now succeded to achieve a second one, before the working one was quit. There's an option, to pair with a QR code.

Why that function tied to OS? Which made sense, which function or feature made it "desktop only" accessible?

We are now in 2025, meanwhile all the devs are basically thinking, out there nothing was changed. The primary computing now heavily switched to android based devices, and just sounds sick, I still tied to an outdated technology, to get smooth workaround.

I am trying to switch to Firefox but I'm having a lot of trouble on my Android phone. I have the AdGuard app already installed on my phone and it seems to be the source of the problem. Every link I click on that opens in the browser is blocked when AdGuard is enabled. It's only if I disable AdGuard do the links open.

I have attached a couple screenshots of what I see when I can't open a link. I have no intention of disabling AdGuard just to use Firefox, as I don't have this issue with any other browser I have, including Brave and DuckDuckGo.

Any help would be appreciated.

When using the UBLOCK ORIGIN extension i cant Join the app. i need to turn it off, then I can join the Firefox nightly. I need help because I use this extension so much.

I've noticed in browsing history that a lot of tabs are private. I don't use or want private browsing, can I disable it?

I'm not sure but I think that the private tabs were opened by Google Assistant and/or Gemini (if that makes a difference).

I already reported this and still nothing changed

I've looked at multiple articles at the links below, and I've tried to implement what they say, but nothing works. All I want to do is enable push notifications for a website/web app on Android so that I can use the app similar to a mobile app. It seems like this is possible with Firefox, but how do I do it?

For reference, I'm using: Android 16 Firefox 140 Pixel 9 Pro

I have been running Tbird on my desktop for years, and it's still working great.

About 2 years ago I picked up a One Plus 11G which came with no e-mail client. I searched for Tbird and found K9 mail (with promises of Tbird soon), which I installed and used since then with no problems.

Few months ago, i got my wife a Samsung23+ and she used the supplied e-mail and messaging programs but constantly complained that she could have only one notification sound for both mails and texts and wanted to tell them apart. I told her I'd have to install a separate mail app so she could have two different sounds.

OK, I checked and finally found that Tbird was now available for Android so i installed it on her phone and she is very happy now.

Since it worked for her, I decided to install it on my phone to replace K9 Mail, and that's when the fun started.

It works great for incoming mails, but when I try to send mails via WiFi or via cell, I get a "Failed to send some messages sender refused" notification.

I got another phone and installed Tbird and it behaves the same way on that phone whether I set it up as POP (my usual setting) or IMAP.

I've installed other mail apps (GMAIL and Edison)and they send out with no problems both POP and IMAP.

If I go to the the Optonline web mail site via Firefox on my phone, I have no issues sending out mails, but that is a clunky way to do since Tbird normally worked so well as it is now or in iots earlier K9 version.

Any idea what is causing this problem only with Tbird? I really like Tbird and I don't like the other two apps.

I tried to export my Pocket links because they're shutting down. The export I received doesn't include any tags, which makes it pretty much useless. How do I get one with the tags, so I can import to a different tool?

I hope Mozilla does not add another icon next to the address bar, otherwise it may not be possible to select the address... Do you know a way to edit these icons so they get out of the way? I would't mind disabling translation (not used) or share (accessible via main menu) and the spacing on the icons could use some work too

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

Prior to the 6/16/25 release, hitting the back button on the three button control on a page with no previous pages would open the home page without closing the current tab. After the update, it closes the tab before opening the home page. This was useful for quickly opening multiple tabs, as well as preventing accidentaly closing a tab. Please revert this change, or make it a setting.

Only on facebook.com- when I comment on anything, every time I enter any key the screen rolls down to the bottom of the page. I dont like using the app bc it takes up a lot of my battery. I even got a new device(s24) and this is still happening. Anyone experience this and know how I can make this stop?
