Firefox for Android Support Forum

So recently i always encountered this annoying bug or something that doesnt exist before, its when i click the tab button sometimes or often the tab shown will go straight to the first tab created, and it is annoying if you have like 20-30 tabs open because your gonna scroll down for like couple seconds just to see the latest Tab or current tab your are in which the browser should do the first place when i click the Tab Button and not go straight to the most top and the first tab created. Can this be fix?

Hello,

Firefox began to act very slow on my Pixel phone. I have worked on the issue the last two days. I called Norton and ran my Norton scanner several times; I am told my phone is using toouch memory from Norton yet I have no virus. I disabled Google and the phone is better. There is a problem with the Google update that Google is either not acknowledging or does not know how to fix. I re-installed Firefox. Now I can go to the Yahoo.com website. When I click to login into Yahoo mail the webpage crashes and reads that Mozilla cannot open this page. I have never had this problem before. I am able to open the login page using the Chrome browser. I wonder if there is a default security setting from when I re-installed Firefox that I should deselect? I seem to be able to use all other parts of Firefox. I clicked on the button to send Mozilla the crash reports information. Thank you for helping me.

I was changing my passcode to make it stronger and accidentally hit the button before I was through. I knowthe code had the #'s 6869 in it,but I've tried every combination I can think it might have been, but no luck. Can you please help me. Thanks, Bill Morgan

I've been trying to install .xpi files for Firefox on Android 12 with little success. Every file manager I've tried doesn't give me the option to open .xpi files with Firefox and my device isn't rooted so I can't access the full file system.

Are there any articles/suggestions? I've always wanted extensions on mobile but never been able to install.

When you clear browsing history why does it only clear the web site and not Cache & Cookies? I used to use Chrome, when you clear browsing history you also have the option to clear cache & cookies. Why doesn't FireFox do this? Also how do you find site ti clear cookies & Cache Thanks

Hi everyone,

I set up my Firefox for Android to delete cookies and cache when I click on "Close".

I was happy with it but I realized several months ago than websites as leboncoin.fr, amazon.fr, decathlon.fr (yes i'm french), didn't keep me loged in but remember what I had looked for and where I was. This problem is permanent.

I don't have this problem with Firefox for Windows.

So it seems something is nor cleared from the app when I close it.

Thank you very much for your help !

I dont know how to get back to my original question. There was information i missed.

I said firfox would not auto login, but although i used ip addresses i didnt say that the auto login works on normal internet sites.

So to clarify, the problem started a while ago now, but badically i have 4 network drives, the username and password is saved for the login to those 4 drives.

Normally i eould click a link 192.168.X.X and the admin login page loads

On the android phone it shows nothing, both boxes are blank, but on the desktop the user name is filled in, and a drop down list shows just one password, i select it and login.

So the auto login is only failing on the local network login page, i cant see anything on the android phone except the password link button that takes me to the whole list of passwords, but like i said if i use my thumb to unlock and select the correct password it returns back to login page blank.

Ive just loaded desktop firefox and there is a warning that "connection not secure"

I dont see that warning on my android, so im guessing that the full web address to my network drive is https://192.168.x.x

So im guessing passwords are not available for secured sites?

It might be the WD NAS that has changed something, because i never had this problem on the phone or disktop, it was the phone im using mostly, in fact i can no longer use the phone this way, i gave up typing in usernames and passwords a long time ago.

So right now its quicker to turn on the laptop and access the 4 network drives.

So sorry if my information made you suspect something else. I know nothing about the change WD has done, i do know it use to put up a long code for the address, but thats gone now and in both desktop and android, it hides tge http or https so im never going to know whats going on.

So i was using android, i would select a bookmark to WD network drive and it use to put in all the information, all i did was click the login button .

So that stopped working, if i visit say ebay.co.uk i get automatically logged in, or if im asked then the correct details is already put in the boxes and i just clickogin.

So only my local network drives, and i do remember them updating the firmwear several times, during that time many strange things happend, for example the ip address was changed to a long length mix of numbers and letters, but they fixed that now.

Shame i cant upload a photo, i could link to one on the net?

Can you put this on the end of my last post as a reply? I coukd not find a way of updating

Thanks

John

Oh i just spotted add images, let me post this first as i dont want to loose it all

Hi,

I saved a new login on Firefox Android, but this did not sync to the desktop version. I tried syncing manually on both devices (which kind of defeats the point) and still no avail. The option to sync logins is activated on both devices, so I don't know what the problem is. I have tested this twice (two passwords saved on Android) and on both occasions they didn't sync to the desktop.

I also tested the process the other way around by saving a new login on the desktop and that synced to Android just fine!

Please help.
