Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi, i sm using live notifications when listening videos from youtube, but recently the play button stopped working. I have to phones and this happans on both, but not at my wifes. Tried to reset the phone, did not helped. Any suggestions if I may ask, please.

Current Permission Settings for Firefox to open links is set to DONT OPEN LINKS

How can I change this to ALLOW TO OPEN LINKS.

Its a big problem because I have Firefox set as Password Manager but when I get emails from sources such as banks or medical or government they wont open and so I cant get to the documents or url they send me.

I am aware of the risk of opening links that might pose security threat so I want to be able to decide for myself. I dont know how this got set to not open links. Maybe Google because they are always changing settings and adding apps WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION.

So sometimes when I set up a new account and say YES TO SAVE PASSWORD it ends up being saved to Google Settings instead

1. Customise homepage
2. Toggle Bookmarks
3. Switch Opening screen to Homepage
4. Open a new tab to youtube.com
5. Add to Bookmarks
6. Go to homepage
7. Nothing is showing up, the whole page is empty

I'm an experienced Firefox user who has already tried multiple troubleshooting steps. I need concrete support for this specific problem.

PROBLEM SUMMARY: I have ~1,625 bookmarks on my Android tablet (Device D). These bookmarks are NOT syncing to my other devices (Windows 11 + 2x Android). All other devices remain empty – no bookmarks available.

DEVICE SETUP: - Device A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (new profile "CleanSync") - Device B: Android phone, Firefox - Device C: Android phone, Firefox - Device D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (SOURCE of bookmarks!)

SYNC ACCOUNT: - Email: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Newly created, old accounts deleted) - All 4 devices signed in + Sync enabled - Sync settings: "Bookmarks" CHECKED ✓ on all

WHAT I'VE TRIED: 1. Cleared Firefox cache on all devices (A/B/C/D) 2. Cleared Firefox data on Android B/C 3. Deleted old Sync accounts server-side (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Created new account + added devices sequentially 5. WAITED: 2+ hours → No change

SYMPTOM: - Device D: 1,625 bookmarks LOCAL ✓ - Device A/B/C: 0 bookmarks (completely empty) ✗ - Sync status A/B/C: Shows "Sync enabled" + last sync X min ago - → But bookmarks NOT arriving

SUSPECTED CAUSE: Bookmarks from Device D not uploading to Mozilla server → other devices can't sync

LOGS AVAILABLE: - Device A: `about:sync-log` (can provide screenshots) - All devices: Sync settings screenshots

TWO QUESTIONS: 1. Diagnosis: What can I test to debug why bookmarks from Android D are not syncing? (Please NO FAQ links – I need individual instructions for this specific problem.)

2. Fallback option: Is there a way to backup/export the 1,625 bookmarks from Android D WITHOUT Sync (file, SQL export, cloud backup)? I could then manually import to other devices.

Thanx so much in advance! 🙏

Ich bin langjähriger Firefox-Nutzer und habe bereits mehrere Troubleshooting-Schritte durchgeführt. Trotzdem benötige ich konkrete Unterstützung für dieses spezifische Problem.

PROBLEM KURZ: Ich habe ~1.625 Lesezeichen auf meinem Android-Tablet (Gerät D). Diese Lesezeichen syncen NICHT zu meinen anderen Geräten (Windows 11 + 2x Android). Alle anderen Geräte bleiben leer – keine Lesezeichen vorhanden.

GERÄTE-SETUP: - Gerät A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (neues Profil „CleanSync") - Gerät B: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät C: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (QUELLE der Lesezeichen!)

SYNC-KONTO: - E-Mail: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Neu erstellt, alte Kontos gelöscht) - Alle 4 Geräte angemeldet + Sync aktiviert - Sync-Einstellungen: „Lesezeichen" ist überall CHECKED ✓

WAS ICH SCHON VERSUCHT HABE: 1. Firefox-Cache auf allen Geräten gelöscht (A/B/C/D) 2. Firefox-Daten auf Android B/C geleert 3. Alte Sync-Kontos server-seitig gelöscht (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Neues Konto erstellt + sukzessiv alle Geräte angemeldet 5. WARTEN: 2+ Stunden gewartet → Keine Änderung

SYMPTOM: - Gerät D: 1.625 Lesezeichen LOKAL sichtbar ✓ - Gerät A/B/C: 0 Lesezeichen (komplett leer) ✗ - Sync-Status A/B/C: Zeigt „Sync enabled" + letzte Sync vor X Min - → Aber Lesezeichen kommen NICHT an

VERMUTUNG: Lesezeichen von Gerät D laden NICHT auf Mozilla-Server → andere Geräte können nicht syncen

LOGS VERFÜGBAR: - Gerät A: `about:sync-log` (kann Screenshots bereitstellen) - Alle Geräte: Sync-Einstellungen-Screenshots

ZWEI FRAGEN: 1. Diagnose: Was kann ich konkret testen, um zu debuggen, warum Lesezeichen von Android D nicht syncen? (Bitte KEINE Verweise auf FAQ – ich benötige individuelle Anweisungen für dieses spezifische Problem.)

2. Fallback-Option: Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die 1.625 Lesezeichen von Android D OHNE Sync zu sichern/exportieren (z. B. Datei, SQL-Export, Cloud-Backup)? Ich könnte sie dann manuell auf die anderen Geräte importieren.

Danke im Voraus! 🙏

I rely on Firefox's auto-fill functionality, so turning it off is not an option for me. Frequently, on secure sites where I am registering or making a purchase, and after I have already filled the form data saved, the fill form banner at the bottom of page remains, blocking the form 'Submit', 'Continue', 'Next', etc. It doesn't happen all the time, so assume this has to do with how the form-fill control interacts with page coding. Is there a workaround for this that does not involve turning auto-fill off?

So, on my pixel I am using my VPN and am getting tired of having to do the Captcha thing everytime I put in a website, I am about ready to uninstall Firefox. I have it synced with my desktop and never have this problem on my PC. How do I stop this?

Violentmonkey beta doesnt have signed builds for beta releases and i had 130 UserScripts in my violentmonkey setup

I want to get those UserScripts...its absolutely a shame not letting a User access or enable a addon just because of this

I downloaded Firefox on my android because I wanted to use Character.AI the same way with the Chatbot Manager extension just as I could do on my PC, the C.AI website works, but all the site elements are not sized/positioned as they are supposed to, as I have seen on chrome. Please try to fix it as soon as possible.

And also, could you confirm if my Chatbot Manager which operates as another page in my browser control C.AI which is another separate page? If not, please try to implement that too.

When using Firefox on Android on a Xiaomi 15, it frequently freezes when coming back to the app and navigating.

Generally the page will go blank white and the missing bar will appear but not move. If you go to the change app android screen (square button), then the thumbnail shows a transparent region where the page content should be.

Closing the app from there and restarting it usually resolves it, but you will have to re-enter the address or search query.

I'm using Firefox on my Android phone (model: Samsung Galaxy, Android version 14), and whenever I watch YouTube videos, the playback is choppy and lags every few seconds, even on stable Wi-Fi. This happens on both embedded videos and directly on youtube.com. I've tried clearing cache, updating the app to the latest version, and disabling extensions, but it persists. Videos play smoothly on Chrome. Any fixes?

Hi developers, I'm running Firefox on an Android tablet and ran into an issue. When I enable the desktop version of the browser, accessing websites (like searching on Baidu) fails to load the desktop version. I compared Edge browser with Firefox and found through website UserAgent detection that when Edge runs desktop websites, it switches UserAgent to Linux, while Firefox maintains Android UserAgent for desktop sites. This causes some websites to ignore network requests and load mobile versions. To resolve this, we need to disable and re-enable desktop website access first, which may allow the site to respond to desktop requests.

Can I adjust the settings to switch to the desktop version of the website? I don't want to switch to another browser.

firefox android 147.0.1

Can't play (listen to youtube) after locking phone anymore. Can't listen to youtube in a different tab anymore. And still can't load comments on videos except youtube shorts

I'm having an issue were any video on firefox i watch automatically pauses. sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes instantly.

I've tried restarting firefox and my chromebook, deleting cookies & cache and reinstalling firefox. but nothing helped. It seemed fine for a bit after restarting my chromebook but than it started happening again. Turning off adblock just causes it to pause the ads.

If anyone has an idea of what to do that would be great!

My Firefox browser on Android is very slow. YouTube videos buffer and lag. Pages take a long time to load. Sometimes Firefox freezes or crashes. Please help me fix performance and video playback issues. My phone has limited RAM and storage

For months I've been trying to sync my FF bookmarks between my android phone and my pc and vice-versa. And with no avail. I've looked at so many, many answers and upon trying them with no avail but, frustration. Surely, an extension for droid FF could be developed to freely sync bookmarks between a droid and a pc and from pc to droid.
