Firefox for Android Support Forum

I am facing issue of login on firefox brouser I used option of forgot password, & did all steps required for change of password. After change of password was sucessful, I tried to log in but was not able to login. Even After upgrade on play store for Android version I was not able to login.

I again went for forgot password and set my password and also took my pvt key.

I tried to login I was told to try After some time.

After appx 1 hr I tried to log in I was told to input my pvt key.

Then I had to take code given in my mail which I copied & pasted and submitted.

Still I am not able to login

Firefox is my very favorite browser. It is very safe and fast in my opinion. Its features are also great. But it has a bug. The sites I log into using firefox, even if I don't log out, it automatically logs out after a few days ie cookies are cleared. .clearing the app data of firefox did not fix the bug.hope mozilla will help to fix the bug.

I cannot get Firefox to sync my bookmarks to to my new android. Other things are syncing so I know sync is working it just will not sync the bookmarks. I have tried everything. I have checked my sync settings a dozen times. I've signed out and signed back in on both devices. I have even uninstalled on both devices while signed out and reinstalled and still I cannot get the bookmarks on my phone. Please help! It's a Galaxy s21 and I am on windows 10

Hey, just got a new phone and I want to mass migrate all of my tabs in old phone to new one but apparently Samsung Switch can't do that, and neither Firefox sync does. Do I have to open every tab one-by-one by hand or is there a shortcut to send all of my old phone tabs to new one ?

Thanks.

Yesterday, I was in the Palm Desert, CA and La Quinta areas with my T-Mobile phone, an Android device. I was using both Chrome and Firefox, one at a time, being sure to have closed the other. I experienced a problem where Firefox reported my location as some 150 miles away in Los Angeles area, while the same phone in the exact same location while using Chrome showed my location correctly (Chrome also matched Google Maps location). Both Chrome and Firefox are enabled to use use high precision GPS.

The first two images show ridiculous distance variance.

I also have an older Android phone I also tried the same experiment on with it, but I saw that Firefox did not have that same problem on the older Android phone.

My question is did Google change something or did Firefox? Google has demonstrated itself to be so dishonest and untrustworthy in recent years that if I were to bet, I would bet that Google in its latest release of Android is blocking Firefox from receiving accurate coordinates or passing essentially garbage coordinates to Firefox.

I later ran a similar test from the FedEx on 111 in Palm Desert. The third screenshot from GoogleMaps shows my location in Palm Desert on Hwy111. However, Firefox showed the nearest course to be in Santa Ana. Google Chrome showed it within a mile.

I cannot view CNBC investing club videos (yes, I'm logged in), in Firefox on Android 13 immediately after yesterday's Android update.

Chrome can view videos perfectly.

Firefox should adjust for the latest Android update.

Firefox version 109.1.1 (Build #2015927169), 8f4899e33+

Android build TP1A.220624.014.A136USQU3CVK9

I am logged in to both my Desktop Firefox browser and my Android Firefox mobile app browser using the same Firefox account on both devices. I can send tabs from my desktop to my mobile device and vice versa; however, I cannot see the tabs that are open on the desktop version using sync. Furthermore, when I read the instructions on the website that says go to the Menu in the Firefox app on my mobile device and click the Sync and Save data. That is NOT an option in the Menu in my Firefox app. When I go to "Connected Devices" in the Firefox mobile app, I do not see my desktop.

Can someone provide any assistance?

The Firefox support site says that downloaded files can be deleted through the downloads menu in Firefox: https://mzl.la/3P8HXEs

The steps say that there should be a three-dot button but mine only shows a "trash" icon that removes the file from Firefox without actually deleting the file. Is this a Firefox big that needs to be reported, or something wrong with my install, or outdated support information?

In Firefox settings, I DO have "Open links in apps" enabled, because I do want most sites to do this. However, there are some specific sites that I DON'T want to open in app. For most of these (e.g. Aurora Store), it is sufficient to open the App Info (in Android system Settings) and disable "Open supported links" (and also tap the "clear default preferences" button, if it's there). For those apps where I've disabled supported links, webpages will load normally in the browser, and there won't even be an "Open in app" option from the 3-dot dropdown menu for the website.

The problem is, some apps that have supported links disabled will still be opened when a link to their website is tapped in browser. One example of this is Tumblr. Tapping a link to any tumblr.com site will launch the Tumblr app instead (which is a particular problem because the Tumblr app currently has a bug where it cannot open links to specific pages, so it navigates to the homepage instead, which is useless. For this reason, it's imperative that Tumblr links open only in browser, at least until Tumblr fixes their bugs.)

Is there anything that I'm missing that will definitely prevent FF from launching an app, when that app is set to NOT open supported links? Is this a FF mobile bug that I should file on Bugzilla? Are there any workarounds (perhaps like a 3rd-party app that intercepts the intent to open Tumblr and redirects it back to the browser)?

Whenever I try to upload an image to any website I get as far as choosing the file to upload, and then nothing. Website just sits there like it's still waiting for the upload.

Already tried reinstalling and checking permissions.

Hey. I hope no one asked this question before because I could not find it. I am trying to build a website, that contains a header, a main-part, and a footer. All of them together should make up 100% of the screen size. The height of the header and footer are fixed to 100px each, so the main part must be adjustable. On desktop this is easy accomplishable in CSS trough: height: calc(100vh – 200px). On mobile however, 100vh does not include the URL bar. Therefore, I used JavaScript. Basically, I am checking if the device used is a mobile one. If so, I use window.innerheight and subtract 200px from it. That fixes the issue, at least on some mobile browsers. And here is where the fun begins:

On Brave-Android it works as expected. On Firefox-Android however, it does not work at all. There are two white stripes on the site. One under the iframe that holds the header and the other at the very bottom of the site.

I have added two screenshots to this question. One screenshot shows how it is supposed to look, the other one shows the problem I am facing.

If you want to check out the code, I did upload everything to GitHub. The site itself is in German, but all the variable are in English.

Hi,

I'm having an issue logging into trakt.tv on Firefox android. I can login on desktop or on different browsers on mobile.

So far I have tried clearing the Firefox cache, all browsing history (cookies etc) and disabling my addons to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

On Firefox 109.1.1 (Build #2015927171), on every website I've visited, when I enter full screen, the Android Navigation Bar hides, as I would expect. But when I leave full screen, the Navigation Bar stays hidden, as if I'm still in full screen, requiring me to swipe up to show it. The app will continue this behavior across multiple tabs and on every website, until the app is force-closed and cache cleared.

Using Firefox 109.1.1 (Build #2015927171) on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Running Android 13 with One UI 5.0. No other browser or app shows this behavior. Attached screenshot shows Nav Bar hidden.

'I like using firefox, however, I have spent a lot of time trying to increase the scrollbar width and nothing seems to work for me.....am very frustrated over this and although I don't want too...just about ready to change to using Chrome as my browser if I can't get it to work....HELP.
