Ever tried to download a file through firefox and then pause it to resume it after sometime and end up having the rest of the file being downloaded in an instant but upon opening realise the file has been corrupted. I am facing this issue like so frequently it has become like a norm that pausing a downloading file will give a corrupted one for sure. And please note that other browsers don't reproduce the issue infact the links are pause supported in all aspects

Firefox Android V102 (and previous version) crashing when selecting "switch" after selecting "Open link in private tab". This occurs frequently though not inevitably, perhaps 80% of the time.

If instead one selects the new tab by going to the tab box in the upper right corner (see attached image) then no crash.

Device is Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet model SM-T860 with Android version 12.

Hi,

When using Firefox recently I've noticed my android 12 phone (running on LineageOS 19) is getting noticeably hot within a short period of time of launching Firefox. Additionally I notice a battery drain of roughly 20% in a time span of 20 minutes.

By estimate this started happening about 2 updates ago as of the time of writing this.

I'm using a OnePlus 6T and have root acces, not an expert user. Though I do know my way around software and hardware. Feel free to ask or send short instructions on how to help you guys solve this performance bug.

If you guys need a log or any other information please tell me and I'd be happy to help.

Best regards, Vincent

When I clicked Firefox from the “Share via” apps list, it just goes to random apps. It’s rare that this happens but it’s kind of frustrating.

This also happened to Fennec F-Droid, which is a Firefox-based browser and others like Mull, Iceraven etc.

I screen captured the error to make it more clear: https://streamja.com/49ldz

Hello. I have been having this problem for a while now. When I enter an address in an existing tab with a :port number at the end of the website address and press the RETURN key the browser does nothing. You can see this issue in the video below. Video will expire on 12th september 2022 https://files.fm/f/xm2mxb829 Only way for me to enter an address with a port is to use an older website link from history or send tab from my desktop through ff sync.

Is there something wrong with my device or is it the browser. Im using firefox for android 102.2.0 on android 10

Video playback on Firefox Beta for Android

Hi. I have been running Firefox Beta on a Sony Bravia VH1 TV (X900H with Android TV 10) for almost two years, downloaded from firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com. I typically install the latest armeabi-v7a APK once a month. I also keep the TV OS updated. To match the TV resolution, I have browser.viewport.desktopWidth set to 1920.

At some point after April 2022, all browser versions stopped rendering correctly YouTube videos when I select a playback resolution lower than 1080p - the browser displays a zoomed-in and cropped on all sides video, basically, just the center of the video frame. This is happening in all view modes - default, theater, full screen, mini player. The issue is also impacting Vimeo and other streaming sites. Even services for which the playback resolution is not user-controllable.

I still have an old APK which does not have this issue - v100.0.0-beta.4 build 2015873993 2022-04-11. I tired it again yesterday after uninstalling the latest version and the video playback worked just fine.

Any idea what might be causing this and if it is fixable with about:config, or extensions, or if there is a bug tracking this issue?

Thank you.
