No idea who is responsible for the UI on mobile devices (android in my case), but what I noticed lately, it starts to upset me. First of all, the url bar is clogged with icons and I can't even see the website address (screenshot attached). This needs to change. In my opinion, seeing the website url is really important, I don't want to see icons that I never use or use them VERY rarely. And my second issue, is that the bookmarks menu is at the top of the menu, and it's impossible to reach it with one hand using one finger. This should be put at the bottom, because in my case I use the bookmarks very often, and this annoyance really gets me. Also, regarding bookmarks, why can't we move the bookmarks up and down? We only have the delete button, but no moving options. Example - I have a folder named Movies with 10 saved bookmarks. Inside this folder I want to move 4 bookmarks down and 3 up. Can I do this on android? No. Why? Because. So, is it possible to add these BASIC functions in a future update? Thanks.

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.

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

I have a Yappy bracelet that uses NFC to load the page. For the past week or so, it will not load; it comes up with a white page. I get no error message or very rarely, just a tip of the page will load, but that's doesn't happen often. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and then it will work. But it only works for that day or maybe the next day. So I need to continue uninstalling/reinstalling. Pages also are very, very slow to load. I check my wifi speed and it's running fine. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A-53, model name SM-A526U. If you need it, the One UI version is 6.1 and Android version 14. I contacted using my laptop since it was easier to explain than using my phone or doing it via the review on the play store. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Hallo Seid FF die Standard Einstellung für die Desktop Ansicht auf AN standardmässig festgelegt hat ist das Benutzen von Firefox eine QUAL. Der Grund ist die ständige Nötigung, jede Webseite, jeden Link manuell umstellen zu MÜSSEN. Es wird der gewünschte Zustand, Mobileansicht, nicht gespeichert, noch ist er in den Einstellungen ersichtlich. Es ist unbedingt notwendig, die Option Desktop Ansicht zB. An die. Auflösung zu koppeln. Oder ein about:config Parameter zu erstellen. ZZt ist es eine nutzerfeindliche Lösung
