Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello, I'm having trouble with my Firefox Nightly Android today. The scrolling is very choppy while trying to browse any article or webpage. It's most noticeable if I quickly scroll down and up. There is a large delay before my page scrolls back up. Is there any setting I have to change to fix this?

Thanks

Recently when typing on Firefox on the duckduckgo search engine, anything you type gets doubled, and you cannot backspace. The issue doesn't occur when on Google page, only on ddg. I also tried different keyboard apps and the issue still persists. I went to the same page on Google chrome and the issue does not occur. This just started happening within the last week or so. If it matters/helps, I'm on Samsung s24 ultra.

Firefox is being flagged on my Android tablet as having too high background battery usage and it wants to put FF in deep sleep. This has just started happening. Also in the last several months, FF keeps freezing on my Android Tablet and I constantly (daily) have to clear the cache in the app. What has changed? If this continues I will have to uninstall this product.

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?

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 try to browse the webpage still not show anything or loading about 30-50 Second before start loading. Sometimes it get freeze not show anything need to re-enter url.

When the screen rotates, many videos freeze and thereafter all videos become unresponsive (and even some elements of the Firefox UI stop responding to taps) until the application is closed and restarted. I have experienced this problem for at least a year now. Reddit is a repeatable example: going to any feed (such as r/popular with videos), playing one, and rotating the screen.

I turned off all battery and CPU optimizations for Firefox, which improves performance on videos somewhat, but does not resolve this issue.

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

For years now... It's crippling, every time I leave the Firefox browser... It refreshes when I return.

5,000 times in the last two years since I got my Motorola play 2023 phone... I try to login to a site and have to click on messages to get a code and the browser refreshes and I have to start over.

1,000 hours of nonsense you have caused me. I couldn't get food stamps or Medicaid because of your bullshit

It's called persistent Internet you fucktards and you need to learn about it

I built netsys.com, delta.net, Damocles.com, inetexpress.com, USA.net and medicare.com.

I worked for ANS for 6 years building the first fault tollerant internet backbone in America.

It's fucking 2026 assholes... I should be able to multi-task... Like Windows 1.0 back in 1986.

I have an issues while typing certain phrases for example: 1-while typing "8oh" after typing "h" it autocorrect to "88oho" and place cursor behind last "o" so result looks like "88oh|o" where "|" is the cursor. 2-while typing "34-34W" after typing "W" it autocorrect to "34-334-34W4" and place cursor behind last "4" so result looks like this "34-334-34W|4" where "|" is the cursor. It is occurring everywhere like in search engine Google, while typing comments on YouTube and even in this particular window while typing about this issue. It does not occurre in adres bar. It does not occurred while writing without text prediction. It occurred even autocorrect is disable.

Oto moje szczegóły odkąd założyłem sobie aplikację Yes zalogowałem się miałem problem z logowaniem dłuższy czas Nie mogłem odzyskać hasła jak przychodziło mi hasło i zmiana hasła to znów hasło nie odpowiadało następnym urugowaniu i tak w kółko i w kółko już mam dosyć tego jakiś błąd macie w systemie Czy aplikacja jest przeglądarki jest do kitu

As title, The tabs will suddenly no response somehow, whatever the network condition is good or bad, pull to refresh the page is useless at that moment, in android platform

Hi, Sometimes I would be browsing on Firefox, then I would need info from another app for instance, then when I get back to Firefox, the page always appears white (see attached). Consequently, I would not be able to see the notifications area and the info below the shortcut icons (see attached screenshot). I would not have this occur in the night mode. Thanks
