I gotta ask... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox? Now yeah sure it's free security but we got add ons for that. I've always felt like private browsing and incognito stuff is just a way to go to pornhub feeling secured from criticism. That's why I quit Chrome (+ being able to watch YouTube with ads for free) so I gotta ask again... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox?

I have an quite annoying issue when I'm streaming something from SVT Play (www.svtplay.se).

The issue is that when I'm trying to stream anything from this site; I've noticed that the resolution is quite messed up. Insted of having an "normal" resolution ( in wich I have all the basic settings such as full screen,Text ON/ OFF etc), the resolution get a bit odd. In the beginning it's just an small screen ( aprox of an 6x6 cm), but when I'm entering Full Screen; the resolution is all over the place+ that the menu bar is missing.

But also that if I'm entering Full Screen mode; the app is " crashing", or should I say minimizing itself and that I go back to my home screen. But stangly the cast isn't interupting. When I'm trying to enterkng the app,the web- adress is missing( not physicaly but just empty).

What's more strange ( or should I say annoying), is the fact that the cast hasn't any stable resolution. Instead of having an normal resolution( cast), it's rather of an 1,5. But strangly the voice is normal. It's only the picture in wich is out of sync. But strangly if I choose the option of limited bandwith it goes back to normal.

But what's more strange is that I have full connection.

I don't know how this came,but since I'm downloading it from Play store. However since the best way is to download an APK- File( in wich my device is compatibel with). Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE ( SM-X516B- series)

Because however on older version it wasn't any problem. It just appear in newer versions.

However when I'm shutting down the app( have activated the option of clear history when close), it sometimes work fine. But in worse scenario I have to reinstall the app.

this is relevant to privacy & security, as well as websites

browser fingerprinting is a serious threat to privacy & security.

fenix 123.0 & 1240a1 eventually achieved "non-unique browser fingerprint" in std pbmode as tested via covefyourtracks.eff.org

however, since 124.0 & 125.0a1, browser fingerprinting protection has slid all the way down to "partial." orbot-hostile Brave Andro always achieves a fully "random browser fingerprint." all i want/expect from fenix is a robust & reliable "non-unique browser fingerprint."

my fenix UI P&S is always set to Strict & GPC enabled. i haven't changed anything. no 3rd party cookies. caches cleared, etc, & always uses expert mode orbot proxy.

why this very unwelcomed fenix backslide?

I have used Firefox since late 2004, and nothing else. No problems until now.


Android 14 and Firefox mobile I think version 123.


It is updated. When I'm on a website, like USPS and accessesed Informed Delivery, I tell Firefox to Add To Home screen so I can quickly access mail and packages coming today.


Has always worked fine. Now, none of my manufacturered/created Firefox shortcuts will do anything. I cleared the Firefox cache, and forced stopped. I don't know if cleaning the data or reinstalling the whole app will help.


I then deleted data and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but nothing changed.


I tried earlier versions but got a notification off it wasn't compatible with my version on Android.


I'm recovering from a stroke and these lost shortcuts stored on my homescreen were vital to communicating with my doctors, therapists, outpatient rehab, hospitals, etc. I'm lost without them.


Any suggestions or reasons for this are appreciated. Thank you

In about.config i set javascript.enabled false for most browsing, unless i really need to do otherwise (e.g. ecommerce). If i close the app (menu quit), and restart it, javacript.enabled is reset true. This behaviour is not replicated for other settings i may make, e.g. dom.storage.enabled, or permissions.default.image. Being Android i have no root so no possibility of creating a user.js to override Firefox ignoring my settings. This seems to be a bug. Version is Android Nightly version 121.0a1, 2023-11-05.

When I press the home button, the tab I was on remains in the background and a new tab is opened if I tap on one of the shortcuts. Is it possible to make it so that it stays in the same tab like on PC?

All video players on websites will, if viewed in full screen, close the firefox app on my android device. The app gets minimized and can be opened back, but all pages become bugged then and appear in half the page only, links cannot be copied either, the page will only work partially when my phone is held horizontally. This issue happens with or without auto-rotate enabled. The bug most often happens as soon as I set a video on full-screen, but can happen while the video is playing also. I tried disabling all of my add-ons and the bug still persists(I will attach a photo of my addon list). Here is a video of the bug after the app closed and I reopened it.
