Firefox for Android Support Forum

How can the android FF app not have a way of showing progress of downloads? I find this absolutely bizarre, when every other browser does this. It's critical information to have. You have no idea how much has downloaded or how long is left, the downloads window is just blank until it's fully completed downloading an item.

Hi, I like a background/wallpaper from the limited edition wallpapers to cutomize home tab in Firefox android, so is there a way to download it or save it and use it as my phone's background aswell? Thanks.

Lastest update added the "pull to refresh" gesture but i dont like that. Please add a option to disable it. Also, I close a tab and exit the program, when I reopen firefox, the tab comes back. Finally, it is not good for the Firefox account mail address to appear in the Firefox menu, it would be better to write "Firefox Account" instead of mail. (Sorry for my poor english, I used some translation.)

Is there a way to force "dark mode" for websites on mobile WITHOUT using an extension like Dark Reader?

I am comparing this to coming from Brave, where I am using their "experimental" Night Mode settings (which works great). For the desktop browser, I've gone to Manage Colors and swapped text/background white/black to make most websites appear as if they have a dark mode, but that option doesn't seem to exist on mobile.

I've attached 4 images that show the differences across the two browsers on mobile. Even Google's own Dark Theme doesn't seem accessible through whatever method FireFox uses, so I can't even use that dark theme without an extension at the moment.

If this is not currently possible, I'm hoping it's planned for future implementation. I can't suggest it either since the feature suggestion page appears to be down at the moment (being reworked?).

I just added the attached add-ons and now I'm being blocked from subscribed sites and others. I think it's related to Java Script as it says on the add-on No Script 11.4.21. How do I remove that add-on? Is there any others I should remove?

Is there a way to allow popups as a whole or from specific sites? Some support chats open in a separate window as a popup and I cannot view them. I have to use a different browser in that situation and I would rather stick to Firefox

Hello,

I have created a collection (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-collections-addonsmozillaorg) How do i add the xpi file on my collection?

My Samsung Galaxy S5e tablet settings are set to Dark mode and work fine. My Firefox settings are set to Follow Device Mode and work fine when I am in Firefox settings. Why doesn't Google search page in Firefox go to Dark mode? If I turn on Desktop site I can turn Google dark but as long as I am on mobile page there does not seem to be anyway to enable dark mode? Any help?

I have been using Firefox since 2004 on my desktop. When I lost some of my eyesight I started using Firefox only because it would let me control the font size and face. See attached image. I am trying to use Firefox on my phone but it does not seem to support this feature. I need this feature in the Android Firefox. If it is there I need to know how to access it and if it is not there I need it added. Or maybe tell me a web browser that supports it. The last time I looked Firefox was the only one that did.

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

I am using the video background fix addon but whenever i minimize firefox, it will play the current video untill the end and will not autoplay the next one. I have to bring forefox to the screen again and then it starts the video.

On my much older Android device, i am using the same setup and have no problem with autoplaying the next video, even when firefox is minimized. Any suggestions?

I recently downloaded Firefox for Android on my Android 13 device but as I tried opening the menu for the add-on, nothing was found. No supported add-ons were there in the list. I tried doing so from Mozilla add-on the Web page but that didn't help either. What can I do now?

'I like using firefox, however, I have spent a lot of time trying to increase the scrollbar width and nothing seems to work for me.....am very frustrated over this and although I don't want too...just about ready to change to using Chrome as my browser if I can't get it to work....HELP.

About:config simply shows me a blank screen.

I need to customize a few settings and I presently cannot. This question marks this as answered but the answer is talking about a solution to the specific reason they were trying to access about:config, not why they cannot access it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1373286

Others say to use the nightly build, which I don't want. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1302626

What's the deal? I've spent an hour or so now looking this up and haven't found anything.

Hello,

I have added firefox-translations add-on to firefox android nightly. And i have some questions about it.

1. Why do I see two firefox-translations add-ons when i click on add-ons when on a website?(look picture)

2. if i want to translate something i need to put my phone horizontal instead of vertical. I don't really mind that but why is that?(look pictures)

3. I saw on github i can test somethings from firefox-translations add-on for android but i don't understand the instructions to get it. Can someone explain it wider for me.(see link) https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/#testing

Greetings,

Jeppie
