Firefox for Android Community Forum

In the last week, music-video music will stop playing in the background after about 4 minutes. For at least a year now, in Private Mode, I have been able to play music videos with the phone display off. I was able to hear the full songs. When the music video ended, there was a delay, then another related video would play, and I would listen to that music also. This all happened in the background with my display off, on my Android Galaxy Note 20 Ultra phone. (Google Play Store identifies my device as "Samsung SM-G950U) If I didn't want to hear the next song play, I would turn on the phone display with the power button and either tap "cancel" or "replay" the song that just ended. I find these music videos on the Firefox browser app. I use Private Mode to reduce future related ads. Almost all of the music is from "https://m.youtube.com/watch?" using the Firefox browser app.

> Keeping the screen on uses a lot more battery power just to listen to video music.

> I did find that if an ad plays before the music video starts, the music may play longer in the background before it quits.

Please fix this! I specifically set it in the settings (on Android) so that no websites open in apps. And yet it keeps asking me whether to open them! There’s no option to "don’t ask again".

Here’s an example: I have two accounts on AliExpress — one is logged into the app, the other in the web browser! And I absolutely don’t want it to open in the app, because what for???

Please fix it so that when I have it set in the settings not to open in the app, it really doesn’t open — and doesn’t keep asking like an idiot!?

The three dots dropdown menu with eg "New tab" has disappeared. When I click on the three dots, a page I've never seen before opens halfway down the existing page.

I do habe a description, hoffe to aktivste JavaScript, but I Canterbury find Outlook how to get to "about:config" to choose "Javascript enabled" in order to Check if JavaScript ist aktivsten there. Does anyone know, how I get to the configeration-editor "about:config"?

I have been a user of Firefox Android for years, During all this time, I defaulted my Tabs View to the Private Tabs View for higher security. I would only move to a Standard non-Private Tabs View on rare occasions.

Now, suddenly in the past several days, when I select my browser, it no longer defaults to the Private View. Rather, it goes directly to the standard Tabs View and I must select the Private Tabs View manually. This occurs every time I exit my browser and return. Has there been a change recently applied that no longer allows me a Private Tabs View upon selecting my browser? If so, I do not approve. Just say'n Development team - not good! It's a step backwards in the product's design as it applies to user intuitiveness and security. Once set, I liked having my preference for Private Tabs saved without me intervening to manually select the option in every instance.

Everytime I try to save an Image or video file, Firefox on Android just says download failed without explaining how or why.

I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried clearing download and search history. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I don't know what else to do.

When you open firefox private mode, it says leave no trace. Assuring users that whatever happens in their private session, stays in that session, but this is a blatant lie and firefox knows this. Go to any site that has cookies, or user login, or something similar. login into the site. Than simply remove firefox from ram. Now open firefox again, go to private mode, and go to that site. Most of the time, it still remembers the user. This issue has been present for far too long, not addressed, still pushed to the users that it is safe to use. Instead of warning the users, it is promoting them to use it by saying leaves no trace in this new update. This is unacceptable.

please, add an option in the settings to enable/disable the menu redesign (the one for the three dots menu thingy) i just cant stand looking at this new design. i miss the old one a lot.

My Firefox ver 140.0.4 bookmarks have disappeared on Samsung S25+ Android 15. I thought they might be found under another profile, but Firefox profiles are not supported on Android. I can find no JSON backups either, so it appears that the automatic bookmark backups are not supported on Android either. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. [I did not have Sync set up on my laptop or phone prior to this unhappy event.]

Hey guys, I'm here to report two questions,First, in Firefox Nightly Android version,I tried to close I tried to turn off the "Install and Run Research" button and reopen it to see if there will be any updates, but it deleted all my test features. Since nightly has a lot of my data on it, I didn't try to reinstall the app reproduction. In addition, there is a translation problem, I downloaded all the language packs to the local, and set "Always open translation" for them, but almost never took effect. And browser itself has a considerable power consumption....Hope to optimize some
