Firefox for Android Support Forum

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

I have Firefox (Beta) installed on a Samsung S8 Android, and its sole purpose in life is to display a live videostream (live TV program from https://canalcurta.tv.br/viainternet ).

The problem is that the internet link in/from Brazil is "variable", meaning the live stream in Firefox will hang - sometimes for a few seconds, and sometimes "forever".

So I have two questions:

1) Is there a buffer setting for live streaming video. (It does not matter if the stream is 2 minutes late! ;) ) (I don't want to "load entire video before watching", I only want to have a very large buffer for live videos.)

2) Is there a way to make Firefox auto-restart a video stream which has hung more than 1 minute (or whatever)?

Thank you very much! Your help is much appreciated! <3

(This was originally posted in the Android section, but is general, I think.)

I'm running the latest Firefox for Android (v118.0) on a UniMax U676CL. Every time I try to download anything (image, file, video, etc), when it completes, the phone's mobile & data network connections are IMMEDIATELY DROPPED (eg. no bars, says 'no SIM card', etc), then around 15 seconds later, they return. Very strange. This has been happening for a few weeks (and a few FireFox updates), and until I recently discovered that Chrome (which I don't like) worked fine, I blamed the carrier / phone... which obviously isn't the case. ANY IDEAS?

yts.mx cannot be accessed in firefox but yts.mx is accessible in other browsers

1) First of all, please make the vp9 code as default in firefox for android.

2) When playing 4k videos at 60fps on YouTube, all my android devices with either Fenix/Developer installed, lose about 90% of frames. Even 4k 30fps videos do not stutter/lose any frames.
