Firefox for Android Community Forum

Running Nightly (153.0a1 (Build #2016163271), a4d50ea7cb22bb9324cc8d62c6a03bfe902ea170, GV: 153.0a1-20260526143706, AS: 153.20260525050231, OS: Android 16) and Samsung reports the app is frequently crashing; additionally and randomly, websites won't load... No error message, they just seem to hang.

I'm more than willing to provide logs if someone walks through the collection process with me.

I have a horrible experience using firefox as my personal browser well u could could say it's my. Default browser to this point but I just couldn't help myself to get annoyed on how slow it takes to load a site. After using firefox for couple of day it's fast but after some time it really became slower. I asked myself why? I thought of the extensions I've downloaded/enable or probably because of my wifi but no it wasn't my wifi or probably my extensions I tried in chrome it loads faster more efficient. I hope u guys fix this and improve the user experience.

When I open a website and then switch to another application and then switch back to firefox, the website will be reloaded.Reloading will waste time and prevent the operation of checking the verification code in the email and then returning to fill in the form during registration, because the website will be reloaded. How can I avoid this problem in the Android version of Firefox?

Can't save to sub folders in favorites anymore on Android mobile Firefox app. Only allows you to save to a root bookmark/favorite folder. Not a folder within a folder.

I have an issue with the app. When I return Firefox from the background, the app becomes partially unresponsive: the ui still responds to touches, but the current tab content remains blank for 3–10 seconds. After that delay, the tab content appears and Firefox continues working normally. The issue happens after using other apps for some time before returning to Firefox. It does not happen if I simply switch Firefox to the background and immediately bring it back to the foreground. It looks like a Firefox child/content process may be getting killed or evicted from memory while the app is in the background, but I have modern device with enough free memory (xiaomi 17 ultra, 16 gb ram). I've already tried popular suggestions: - Disable any restrictions in battery optimizations - Lock the app in memory - Allow app autostart - Disable memory extension (swap) in the system settings - Checked background process limit - "standard"

The same issue happens on tablet xiaomi pad 6 pro (12 gb of ram, hyperos 3 as x17u). The issue appeared ~4-5 month ago after ordinary Firefox update. What useful logs can I collect to help resolve it?

I've recorded a video of the issue with current versions of Firefox and Firefox Nightly https://youtube.com/shorts/JHxeODD3IQk . On video I reload `example.com` in both browsers, switch to other apps and return back to each browser. Firefox is locked in memory (see icon in task manager), Nightly is not. While tab is stuck in Firefox, I show that UI is working (menu is opened immediately).

When I use the expanded custom for the tab. It makes it to where the screen has this annoying border where it blocks some links and other stuff. Is there a fix that isn't just me switching to the regular one?

When using the Android version of Firefox, enabling "Always request desktop site" in settings works as expected when directly searching for a website via the address bar, resulting in the requested desktop site. However, when navigating to a new page via this method (such as clicking search engine results), it returns the mobile site. The browser menu bar still displays that the desktop site is enabled, and clicking the button still refreshes the page, but the result remains unchanged, still showing the mobile version. The "Desktop site" button status also remains unchanged. Everything works normal only after completely closing the app, but the issue persists upon subsequent navigation. It can be confirmed through the User Agent detection tool that the issue is with the User Agent.

Hi all.

I use Firefox as my default browser and I listen to different radio stations that have no app available (they only broadcast over web).

While playing them over Firefox, if I happen to have google maps open for directions, the sound on Firefox won't dim at all whenever Google maps is giving me any instructions and both sounds (Firefox and Google maps) will overlap.

This doesn't happen with other apps like Spotify, which dims the sound perfectly fine with every interactions from Google maps.

I've busted my brains trying to figure this out unsuccessfully.

You guys happent know how can I fix this, please?

Ty!

So, this is extremely minor, but if the web search widget UI scaled more fluidly, that would really help the cohesiveness of my home screen. It seems to like to snap from a 2-wide to a 4-wide size, but that leaves a gap, as seen in screenshot of the widget failing to scale to the UI resizing box.

Hello. Whenever I open a link in another app, it opens this piece of art. Then, to not lose what I opened, I have to tap three dots and "Open in Firefox". I have "open links in-app" function turned off both in Firefox and all the other apps, where possible, but it still doesn't open links in normal Firefox as new tabs like the desktop browser does. I can't describe how much it pisses me off sometimes, it is so inconvenient. How do I turn this off? Maybe there's a community mod for it? Something??

I set up a Collection to which I added several news websites. However, when I click on one of the websites, it takes me to the wrong site. Example: I have 5 sites saved: A, B, C, D. and E. When I click on A, it takes me to B. I have deleted the Collection several times and tried adding the same websites back into a new collection, but the same thing happens again. The same problem occurs to another Collection set up for some other websites. Thanks for any assistance!

Whenever I open a website on Firefox for Android, the page keeps loading for a long time. Other browsers like Chrome are working fast on the same internet. I have already restarted my phone, but the issue is still there.
