Firefox for Android Support Forum

(using 118.2.0) At times the navigation icons and the reload icon disappear from the task bar. When I go into Settings and then back to the browser page the icons are gone. They are still in the "3 dot" menu. The only way I have found to reappear them is to close the app (go into android task list and "swipe" it closed) and reopen it.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra updated to UI 6 and Android 14 and the share function in Firefox stopped working. It shows only download in PSF and print but no share to apps, like Facebook or Text or email, etc. I checked Edge and it works, so problem is with Firefox in Android 14.

When you first released the pull to refresh feature on Android, it worked good. However, for the last several releases, there is a noticeable delay when trying to scroll up and down. Say you are in the middle of a news article and you want to move up or down. It will just hang for a bit, rather than smoothly go up and down like normal. If I turn pull to refresh off, scrolling is normal. What I think might be happening is the pull to refresh feature is no longer recognizing to only work when at the top of a page. The only time you would want to pull down to refresh is at the top of the article. Otherwise, it shouldn't even be active. Don't really know what the real problem is though. It is a real bummer. I really like that feature. Having to go back to the old way of refreshing a page is super annoying. I hope you can figure it out. This issue has been going on for several releases/months. I didn't know how to report it. Perhaps the last three releases have had the issue.

I've attached two screenshots of the same website in Firefox Android, where I have long-pressed on an image in order to share it with another app (e.g. Signal, Fastmail). The website in question is my self-hosted PhotoPrism instance which I am trying to use as a replacement for Google Photos.

As you can see, in one of the screenshots, most of the options are missing, including sharing with another app. That screenshot is of the website installed on my home screen as a PWA (Progressive Web App). It seems that it is not possible to use the Android "share" functionality for images inside a PWA. Is this correct? If so, is there any workaround?

I would love to be able to use a PWA for PhotoPrism because having to navigate manually to my photos app in a browser is clunky, but if I am unable to share photos out, then I don't think I'll be able to use the PWA.

I keep encountering an error when using the "Install/Add to Homescreen" interaction. I will get an error that says " this shortcut already exists" even when it doesn't. It's happened a few times, and I can only assume that some sort of glitch is occurring as I move the shortcut around on my home screen. This error only occurs if I accidentally lift my finger off the screen while dragging the icon to a spot. It's like the shortcut is being placed somewhere invisible in that moment and I cannot see it. I only have one page on my home screen, and I have tried adding a second screen and moving my apps there. I've tried deleting all my widgets and Homescreen folders as well. It's still recognizing a shortcut that doesn't exist.

Phone details if that helps

OnePlus 11 Android 13 Oxygen OS Version: CPH2451_13.1.0.595(EX01) Firefox Version: 120.0

When I try to share things, I often find myself scrolling through the list of actions a few times before finding what I'm looking for.

What order/sorting are the actions supposed to be in within the share menu in Firefox Android?

Some of it looks alphabetical by maybe app name, but it's the action that's displayed and not the app name. Other sections seem random.

Is there a way to make it more consistently ordered?

I am using Firefox mobile on my realme x2 pro running android 12 with a 20:9 aspect ratio screen (I thought aspect ratio was worth noting). I have encountered a bug where Firefox does not register any clicks on any icon, image, or element near the edge of the screen (left or right) on any website (google, reddit, etc.). This bug only affects Firefox and not Chrome. Sometimes, Firefox registers a click on the icon if I shift my finger slightly away from the icon and close to the middle of webpage (meaning in opposite direction of the edge), but this is not consistent and requires me to remember to do this every time. This bug makes it very difficult to interact with websites. I have tried some solutions that I found online, such as clearing cache and cookies, updating Firefox to the latest version, disabling extensions and plugins, etc., but none of them worked for me.

I was using Firefox, can't remember exactly what steps, but when I went to type in new search keypad kept closing instantly before I had the chance to enter any txt. Had to quit and restart Firefox to get keypad to stay open. Any idea wht might cause this and how to avoid it in future?

Firefox offers to use a link from the clipboard with "Fill link from clipboard". Accepting this works and loads the link, but the clipboard is cleared. I hope this is not by design.

On my Fold 5, the address bar will suddenly decrease to being nearly unclickable while the 'back/forward/refresh' buttons appear next to it instead of the more options menu to the right. Is there a way to only enable the address bar to remain easily accessible?

Dashed and dotted lines do not render in the Android Firefox browser.

I took this example and changed it slightly.

Lines are not visible in Firefox and Firefox Focus browsers. They are visible in Firefox Nightly.

Hello,

When I press the address bar to go to another website and don't type address by myself but use a bookmark from startpage a new tab is always opened. I almost all situations I don't want to open a new tab. Is there a way to configure to not always open new Tabs? I don't find information about this in FAQ.

Somehow when trying to copy and paste a section in any article on any website i can only copy the article title, even after multiple times. Iam glad i have 2 other mobile browsers to help do that. As of now firefox mobile is 90% reliable. That will be downgraded quickly soon

I'm having the same problem that was solved in this thread, but I can't use this solution because the option has been disabled (about:config). Topic explaining the problem - Link Firefox version: 118.2.0 Android version: 10

Firefox won't open links in new tabs anymore in 118.2.0 version, and I really need to open every link in a new tab as my phone is so slow that pressing the back button and waiting for the page to load again takes a long time, instead of just navigating instantly through the tabs.

This started happening about 3-4 days ago, and I'm not sure if it's intended feature or a bug. Is there any workaround, other than using the clunky method of holding down the link, pressing open in new tab and then pressing switch to new tab? As this is obviously very tedious.
