REF: Firefox v109.2.0 / Windows 7 x64

How do we get Firefox to load the browser tabs, which are activated from other Android applications, diverted in the background?

The now, inaccesible, "about:config" switch" for this action is/was: "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground". The incessant switching between browser and active app can be most unproductive and unpleasant.

How to go directly to a website without searching

Hello,

I'm new to using a smart phone and have downloaded Firefox Mobile onto my Android phone. It works great when searching for a website but I have one that I already know and would like to go directly to it. Unfortunately every time I enter the URL I get a search for the website, not the website itself.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I'm not using my phone to post this question but rather my laptop (which I find easier to use). My phone is a Moto G Power (2020) using Android 11 and FF 110.0.1

Thanks, Andre'a

How to seek back / forward in Android without dragging

Hi guys,

Sometimes webpages display media using the default HTML5 player.

See https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp for an example.

This player allows seeking using the keyboard and dragging the slider, but from a mobile phone (specially when orientation is vertical) and for long videos it's very difficult to drag little amounts of time and the keyboard is not available. Double tapping on the left / right side of the player does not have any effect unlike another players (the one from Invidious for example, see https://invidious.weblibre.org/watch?v=tsc4CodoGTw)

Do you know a solution for this? Could Firefox for Android implement seeking when double tapping?

I think it was Firefox 52 or somewhere around the time that Firefox 52 came out, there was an addon that allowed users to spoof their device. I could make my Android phone appear to various websites, to be a Computer, a Tablet, an iphone, etc. Does Firefox still have that Addon? If so, how can I download it? If not, does anyone know where I might find a similar one?

Thank You.

Michael J Pettinato.
