Firefox for Android Community Forum

Could you make a shortcut to switch on between "dark mode" and "bright mode" in the mobile app browser + pc desktop browser?

There are enough webpages that don't show correctly in dark mode. It is not convenient to change the dark mode each time in settings!

Thank you

Why do you have a leave feedback button in the app but it leads to the question section instead of leaving feedback options. Lastly, why is it so hard to make Firefox display in dark mode across every webpage?

Hello,

I am a long-time Firefox user. I am writing to express my frustration with a specific change introduced in Firefox for Android 149.

First, I want to be clear: the new main menu redesign is a good decision. Moving the core controls to the bottom of the screen, within thumb reach, is the right ergonomic approach, and I appreciate that work.

My complaint is specifically about the new tab tray layout.

In version 149, the Normal/Private/Synced tab selector has been moved to the top of the screen in direct contradiction with the philosophy behind the rest of the redesign. This makes one-handed use significantly harder, requiring an uncomfortable reach. The previous design kept these controls at the bottom, which was ergonomically correct.

I had previously managed to revert this change by removing the 'Android UI Redesign' study under Data Collection settings. Since version 149 has baked the new tab tray in permanently, with the Secret Settings toggles also removed, I am left with no option to restore the previous behavior.

I genuinely want to keep using Firefox it remains my browser of choice. However, if no layout option is added in a future update to restore bottom-positioned tab selector controls, I will be forced to switch to an alternative browser. Not out of spite, but simply because the current layout makes daily one-handed browsing genuinely uncomfortable.

I hope this feedback reaches the Firefox Android product team.

Thank you.

I made the mistake of updating a working version of Firefox for Android and once again I had settings forced upon me. The Settings menu on the bottoms is horrible to navigate and I absolutely do not want nor need it. Apparently now I can't access the secret menu to fix it to the old side view for settings. Is there a way to change this? I'm at the point of frustration.

Dark theme or light theme doesn't switch normally on my phone. In the evening light theme still stays on in the search bar and in the settings menu, white font on white background. Daily fix is to manualy set phone to dark/light theme. This didn't happen when the browser had custon themes. Hope this helps and thank you for your awesome work.

The new UI for the menu is awkward. A list is way easier to read.

I don't like being treated like I'm entering a grocery store that's testing on its guinea pigs.

It would be cool if you guys just allowed for Android UI customization, or at least a standard ESR style UI release.

The new one, with all the bubbles and nice looks, is honestly just hard to read. A list is logical and computer-like... Which just happens to be what Firefox uses to run on! A computer! LOLOLOL

when I browse a Bengali or Bangla language website the word is broken, the fonts are broken. it's not able to read the sentence properly. how it could be solved? there is no Bangla fonts extensions in the community I have checked it.

Recently, the android app was changed internally that, ie. settings are no longer accessible through a sidebar menu but from the bottom up (?). Now, the entire tab view has changed - the tiled tab preview shows tabs as way longer tiles (which is incredibly inconvenient) and the layout at the top for accessing normal tabs, private tabs and synced tabs has entirely changed, too. But none of the guides I have found online to disable this change through settings (and secret settings) worked to set this change back. Is there any other way to change it back at all?

Usually the mobile version looks the way it should, but sometimes, shortly before an update, it changes its layout to Desktop Mode for a few days at a time. I am not sure why, and the layout usually changes back shortly after the update was made.

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

Ongoing bug that first started occuring on Firefox Nightly before being introduced to Firefox stable and now showing on forks such as Waterfox and Fennec

When viewing first view it takes up 3/5 of screen to extra click of full menu covering virtually entire page, also slower both from a usable standard along with the animation introduced.

Classic menu is simpler to use especially when with different browsers such as Chrome, webpages and many other none browser Android apps. Default use of address bar at top - same as on desktop - means that navigation involves moving thumb from top right of screen to bottom, instead of keeping in same area.

Example attached on how the function did and should still work.

Everything is now harder to navigate, the extension tab was easier to use before, now cause a lot of friction, the bookmark tab was only a few centimeters away from the initial tap now is at the bottom of the screen. The old design had perfectly optimize how the user navigate their setting and the redesign had made it worse.

Hallo there,

to my dismay my Firefox browser on Android now looks like an ugly Safari clone. Which is nice to have it was an option, but sucks as a permanent thing. Asides from not liking the look it activatly makes my browsing worse. You already are on thin ice with your AI crap ans honestly this might be the final staw. I really want to like you and support you, I really do, but the past few years you've been like that dumb friend that keeps doing the wrong thing despite everyone telling them to not do it. I would really appreciate it if I could choose how my browser looks and not to get a wose UI design because your c people are insecure and want to copy the popular kids homework. I hope you understand otherwise it's been a fun decade plus but you are working on killing yourself.

Best regards A longtime loyal supporter

Put back the menu bar!!!!!!!!! Who ever thought it was a good idea to remove it should be fired immediately. Firefox far less user friendly and useful and far less better than other browsers without it!!!! Errol Simpson

I beg you, just add an option to revert. Why, why are you even doing the redesign?? I would happily use your browser forever anyway, please, add an option to revert! I really don't want to move to Chrome, but the new design is so hideous I can't stand it

The new UI makes the tabs too long, blocky, and annoying to use/traverse on mobile, it takes me nearly double the time to scroll through my tabs than it used to. I would really appreciate a way to revert this as it is making my experience unpleasant and I am genuinely considering switching to a new browser because of it.
