Dear Support Team:
My security and Privacy settings are all checked for clearance when I prompt the browser to. My home page is set to default Firefox. Many apps have restrictions in system apps and application apps. Firefox has access maximum access except for location, because I want to help you detect bugs and improve as it is in the interest of all users for me to permit Firefox to do this.
In addition, all my bookmarks are mysteriously removed, often when the data deletion is prevented as stated above.
I need not mention this but I must. Intrusions into my phone are persistent by parties who havea vested interest in preventing me from divulging the thought crimes that they visit upon me.
I use a free VPN (Thunder), often with the German or Netherlands servers.
What more can I do to protect my privacy?
I am not a criminal nor terrorist. I have no criminal record.
Thank you in advance. PL

I use desktop youtube to listen to the music on android for not having to have the focus on the firefox app while its playing. But as i pinch or scroll on the page, i get clicks registered 95% of the time, which immediately loads the page (or song) underneath the registered click, cutting the video i was just watching (or listening). Can this get fixed somehow?

Samsung J5 Pro Oreo 8.1 Firefox Copy & paste broken on (eg) smh.com.au

Using current FF on both a J1mini on android 5.1.1 and the J5 Pro on 8.1, all up to date.
Previously marking text brought up a menu on top line; copy / select all / paste etc. This worked everywhere. Still does on the J1mini.
On Oreo instead it brings up a floating box (copy chit paste share select all), but this doesn't work on my favourite news site on the comments section - I can neither copy useful postings nor paste text written elsewhere (e.g. a text editor) as my own posting.
This makes Firefox, long my favourite browser, useless for one of my main daily activities.
In this mode, you can select text ok, but when you do there's no way to cut or copy or paste; that popup menu simply fails to appear. Very frustratingl
The ForceCopy add-on makes no difference.
If you need an example, try
... ah no, I can't even paste an example url here now :(
You can try https://smh.com.au and look for an article with comments. At the top of comments section it works but once you zcroll down a page or further, you can't copy selected text, nor paste a reply.
Hopefully this is not only happening to me.

Hi
I've been having problems with my Firefox app for a few weeks now, I'm hoping you could help me out.
It always worked perfectly fine, but recently for some reason it's not behaving correctly.
The major issue is the touchscreen. When I click on a particular line for example it selects a line from much higher up the page, totally unrelated to what I'm trying to select.
I don't know if this happened due to a recent update or not, I can't remember sorry. I've removed and reinstalled the app, no difference. I've also today just updated the app again, same problem still.
There are no other issues with my phone, its a Sony Experia Z5 Compact and it's in perfect working order. I had been using the app like that for more than a year, maybe even 2 years until this sudden problem.
Also, I have another phone, a Wileyfox Swift, and the Firefox app works perfectly fine on that unit.
Can you advise me of a solution to this please ?
Thanks for your time.
How come the Google search page is different?

I recently converted from Chrome to Firefox. Imported my bookmarks to Firefox without issue. However syncing from my PC (Win 10) to my Android (Galaxy S10+) will not sync my bookmarks. History, logins, profile picture all sync fine - just no bookmarks. I've spent two days now trying all the suggestion I could find online to correct, but no luck yet.
1. PC running Firefox v69 2. Android running Mobile v 68 (updated 8/29/19) 3. PC --> Android | Only bookmarks are not syncing. 4. Android --> PC | Newly added bookmarks on phone sync to PC under "mobile bookmarks" 5. I've tried disconnecting both devices from my sync account and reconnecting - Fail 6. I've tried disconnecting both devices from my sync account and create an entirely new sync account on both - Fail 7. I'm logged in to the same account on both devices. 8. I have used the "sync now" option on both devices - Fail 9. Android Firefox bookmark page displays "Firefox: About your browser", "Firefox: Customize with add-ons", "Firefox: Support" plus any newly bookmarked pages originating from that device. No bookmarks from my PC are displayed.
Most likely there were other steps I attempted, just can't remember them right now. Can anyone help me get my bookmarks from my PC to my Android? At this point I'd be happy with just that. But if I was able to automatically sync bookmarks (like in Chrome), that would be a home run.
Thanks.
