Firefox for Android Community Forum

Before the update that just dropped, whenever I would open the app, it would open in private browsing by default. After the update it opens a regular non private tab. Any way to fix this?

Hi, I dont understand the new improvements since the default tab is no longer private and i cannot follow the google tips, as I miss thr history options. My version is

141.0 (Build #2016102631), null

GV: 141.0-20250714153642 AS: 141.0 OS: Android 13

Thank you, Florin

Hi,

I'm quite annoyed about the new Android Firefox menu update. It takes up so much more space on the screen for not really adding any extra usability and the New Tab button is entirely gone in spite of there being plenty of space to have included it. Where did it go? I'd really prefer to have it back.

Regards, eliana

On android, it is possible to change the search engine of the search bar on the home screen. There you can select a Search Engine App, like Google, Qwant or Startpage.

However, Firefox is currently not available as a selectable option there. Adding it there would make it possible for those searches to be handled by firefox.

Here is a like from the Google Documention explaining it more. https://support.google.com/android/answer/14661350?visit_id=638898573078368897-2813460311&p=change_search_engine&rd=1

Jump to Firefox browser within the app, and there is no translation button in the upper right corner menu.All browsers in the Chromium series have this function, whether it is Chrome or Edge, I hope a translation button can be added.

Everytime I try to save an Image or video file, Firefox on Android just says download failed without explaining how or why.

I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried clearing download and search history. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I don't know what else to do.

Hello,

I currently have annual subscriptions for both Monitor+ & VPN. How do I get credit for the remainder of both subscriptions applied to the $8.25/mo. Privacy Protection Plan? I tried to upgrade through my Mozilla account profile & it was only going to credit from Monitor+.

I looked through all of the FAQs before writing this. There was a question about upgrading from VPN & Relay, but not specifically upgrading from VPN & Monitor+ annual subscriptions.

Also, will/does the Privacy Protection Plan still cover 5 devices that the stand alone VPN does?

Thank you.

I cannot find anywhere on my Firefox browser where I can export my personal bookmarks to another browser (Duck, Duck go). I do not like the most recent Firefox update, changing my everything Firefox!

I have been a user of Firefox Android for years, During all this time, I defaulted my Tabs View to the Private Tabs View for higher security. I would only move to a Standard non-Private Tabs View on rare occasions.

Now, suddenly in the past several days, when I select my browser, it no longer defaults to the Private View. Rather, it goes directly to the standard Tabs View and I must select the Private Tabs View manually. This occurs every time I exit my browser and return. Has there been a change recently applied that no longer allows me a Private Tabs View upon selecting my browser? If so, I do not approve. Just say'n Development team - not good! It's a step backwards in the product's design as it applies to user intuitiveness and security. Once set, I liked having my preference for Private Tabs saved without me intervening to manually select the option in every instance.

I am trying to enable GPC on my phone as I have been having problems for a long time. When I type it into the address bar, nothing happens.So unable to choose the preference I require. Thank you

syncing bookmarks between Android Mobile and desktop through shared Mozilla account, but the bookmarks from mobile aren't appearing on the desktop. I can see that both devices are logged in, but cannot see bookmarks being shared.
