Firefox for Android Community Forum

Every time I need to launch privacy mode in the Android app, I can't find the button or a link. I don't use it that often, but it's important when I do need it. Each time I need it I spend a lot of wasted time looking for it. Ultimately I have to ask Google Gemini how to do it. 1) I don't want to keep asking AI how to do it. It ought to be easier to find. 2) I don't want a shortcut on my Android desktop with its limited, valuable real estate.

After thinking about it, it occurs to me that adding the ability to add a privacy mode shortcut to the toolbar might be simple for the developers and it would solve my problem. It's too bad I can't add more than one shortcut to the toolbar in Settings, but a privacy mode shortcut is the one I'd select... if only one were available. (sigh)

Okay, so, I just factory reset my phone because I thought I had a virus. Why? Because Firefox once or twice opened itself onto a website while I was playing a game and it had "there is a third party app on your phone that may be accessing your bank details" with an ignore and scan button below it. Now, I have paranoia and was having an episode during one of these and accidentally clicked the scan button, so I decided this is probably some sort of virus or something that's doing this, because Firefox shouldn't be the one telling me this, right? I'm correct there, right?? Anyways, it has once again happened since I factory reset my phone, so is this connected to my account? I just reset it yesterday and I don't think there's any chance I went to a suspicious site in that time. Is it possibly my ESim? Do I need to do something about that? Do I need to contact google about my pixel acting weird? What can I do so I can stop this issue so it doesn't cause any more paranoia?
