Firefox for Android Community Forum

When you leave the app, the page often reloads. This does not occur in Chromium-based browsers (such as Chrome or Brave). And compared to Chromium-based browsers, it's slower and uses more memory, making it difficult to use.

I have received an email from what looks like Mozilla, it says that there has been a massive data breach and my details were compromised. I'm checking to verify if this is correct.

I have read replies to this problem of "no ready to scan button to tap" but find no answer. I'm signed in to the App - there is no "ready to scan " button  ??? Please provide a solution.

Vietnamese automatic translation is not available, so it should be added soon; we hope for its development." Google's extension is available, but I cannot add a Web3 wallet to Firefox like in the Mises and Chrome browsers; we hope for its development."

I can't get Firefox to enable the Javascript. I go to sites that rely on Javascript, but I don't know what browsers give me security and Javascript at the same time.

I use a Galaxy A21. It still has the OEM Samsung browser.

What can I use that isn't Goole.

Hi

Firefox has stopped syncing from my android phone. In the 'connected services' section of the account page it shows both my PC and phone connected. On the desktop it shows synchronised frequently updating (e.g. 24 seconds ago) but on phone it shows 'never'. It previously showed last sync as 14 days ago but I relogged (from both devices) to try to fix it. It just so happens that 14 days ago I added a new email address to login with my mozilla account (previous email became secondary), but I have checked and both devices are logged in with updated credentials.

Any ideas other than re-install?

My phone broke down and I had to send it in, for it to be repaired. As usual for warranty repairs the phone needed a factory reset to be sent in. Before doing that I backed up my session using Firefox sync as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile/backup-recovery-and-sync/backup-data That went fine and I could access the data from my PC.

Now my phone returned, I reinstalled firefox yesterday and immediately after signing in, my backup in Sync was overwritten with a blank session. Is there any way to get the old session back?

Dear Firefox dev team,

I work with web based Redmine tool with has multiple date fields in the issue tracker. Since last FF update the date picker does not let me to "clear" the date field contents.

The date picker and field operation is degrading in FF. A time ago you removed the "X" next to date fields which were super easy to use to clear the fields. So I learned to click, open the date picker and click the "clear" there. Now the clear function is gone too. How is it meant to be used now?

For comparison, here is the google chrome and how looks there with date fields (Vymazat = Clear)

Thank you. Filip

Ever since the recent UI revamp, search does not show suggestions. I confirmed they are enabled in settings. I tried restarting my phone, using other search providers (Google and duck duck go), and stacking trending results, all to no avail.

When I use the browser to open an app and After I enter that app, I need data from another app so I touch the icon at the bottom of the screen that shows me a list of apps, I select an app from that list, open it and get the data from it via a copy, I the go back to the app in Firefox and it takes me back to a different prior screen that requires me to reenter login in info or back to the screen before I exited to get the data i needed. this does not happen in android 15 etc on all my other devices. How do I stop it? Have I used/changed a setting? Bruce Arbuckle [edited email]

Firefox for Android intermittently gets stuck in landscape orientation after the app has been in the background and is resumed. This does not happen every time, but occurs frequently enough to be noticeable during normal daily use. Once stuck, the orientation does not recover automatically. Note:

Happens only after switching to another app and returning later Does not happen on fresh app launch System auto-rotate continues to work in other apps Sensors appear to work correctly

Recovery The only reliable way to recover is: Force closing Firefox from Recents Reopening the app

Device: Samsung Galaxy S25 OS: Android 16 One UI: 8 Firefox version : latest as on playstore Navigation: Gesture navigation Auto-rotate enabled system-wide

I use Firefox browser on Treasury Direct website to calculate, update, and save the US paper bond values. It was working in October until converting to Windows 11. I am using Firefox version 147.0.1 It has not worked since then. Treasury Direct states that Firefox browser should be used to perform this function. Why isn't it working.
