Firefox for Android Community Forum

In the last few weeks I noticed weird things happening with the keyboard open. The problem is that my screen gets covered by massive grey bar, sometimes it leaves a tinly slit like in the first two screenshots, sometimes it's all grey and I can't see what I'm typing. Everything seems to work underneath because as soon as I hide the keyboard my text is there like nothing happened. Last screenshot shows the extra grey bar on the top of the screen that's not there in any other app but Firefox and it's probably related (it's the same grey that covers the entire screen when keyboard is on the display). One more thing I didn't catch on screenshot is the address bar - sometimes when I type what I want, press "go" keyboard goes down but the address bar doesn't, it stays in the middle leaving the infamous grey space below. All I need to do is tap on the address bar to show they keyboard, tap elsewhere and keyboard goes out, address bar goes down.

It happens only in Firefox for most webpages, never in any other app, it does happen in private tabs as well, with no addons. Everything is updated to their newest versions, I reintalled the app as well - no results. Am I the special one because I can't se anyone else complaining about it?

Using Samsung A53 and Samsung A54, Firefox version 142.0.1 on Android. Both phones have the same symptoms. 1 Device is logged into a Mozilla account, the other is not.

When clicking a link that is supposed to open an app (for example my payment provider), it works the first time during a session. When I try to open it again, nothing happens.

I tried toggling the setting to always open or ask. This resets the mechanism and it works again for the first time. After that I have to toggle the setting again to make it work. Stopping the app and clearing cache will resolve the issue once. After that it stops working again.

It used to work a few weeks again, so I suspect an update broke the mechanism.

Hi team, i was trying to import the account from desktop to android, tryied to scan generated qr code, but the phone is not reacting at all. Please help.

BR, Trung

Hi!

This seems to be related to whatever issue was happening on Firefox when "Fixed an issue where data consumption from service workers may unexpectedly halt (Bug 1941210)." was done and consequently fixed it. My issue in particular has to do with trying to import yomitan dictionaries on mobile and it aborts midway through and says there was an JSON.parse error. Looking at it on GitHub, there was an issue like this with yomitan and Firefox and seemed to have been fixed by Firefox (on desktop?) but this continues to happen. The yomitan issue on GitHub was "Importing dictionaries stuck on validation step #1765" and wasn't a problem on yomitan's end but specifically Firefox. I have tried importing with other browsers on mobile and the only issue I've run into has been the size of files, not the error Firefox shows.

Thank you for any assistance.

I deleted bookmarks on Windows and synced on Windows 11 (142.0.1 (64-Bit)) and Android 10 (Huawei P20 pro) (142.0.1 (Build #2016110943)). The deleted bookmarks are still shown on Android. Deleting the apps data and logging back in synced one time but the next deletion was not synced again.

I play a game called WSOP, and the game have Facebook page and Facebook group that is giving free staff for the game. In the past the past the links open the game app I got the free stuff, but know the links are opening the Google shop website and not the app. I already set Firefox the open links on app, and it not working. If I open the links on the Desktop version of Firefox the open the game website version. If I open the links from email message I post the links in it the links opens the game app when I open email on my cellphone. Only on Firefox for Android the links are not working. how can I fix this? I don't want to copy paste links or use the Facebook app (it is horrible) Thanks for help.

This is the exact same issue Firefox has on iOS as well, described here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/28421

It happens for me as well: Android 15, Firefox 142.0.1 (Build #2016110943), All extensions disabled and Firefox stopped and started again. Sometimes it works. Strangely. But it is not related to my connection type (Wifi or mobile network).

I have "always open in external apps" enabled.

It appears Firefox on my Samsung Android change recently. I have not been able to sync at least the bookmarks and a few other things between my computer and Firefox on my mobile

Since around 2 weeks i noticed that empty browser elements appear and reduce the visible content window of different websites.

It is unclear what exactly causes it, but sometimes this behaviour can be triggered when setting focus on a field which requires keyboard input. I switched between gboard and swiftkey to make sure it is not causes by third party software / keyboard, issue does not occur in Chrome so it already can be exlcuded. ReInstall did not solve the issue.

I use a docking station (screen, mouse, keyboard) at times with my tablet. When connected to the dock Firefox mobile zooms in on any text input field i click. There is no way to actually zoom in/out in Firefox mobile without touch, so this is extremely annoying. I can write without it zooming in, but i can't actually use a page after this has happened without fully reloading the page since it's zoomed in.

How do i manage the zoom level in Firefox mobile, WITHOUT touch?

Hello, Thank you for your great effort, I can see a good progress. However, I am very frustrated that I can't find even one addon that can provide superior Tab handling. I usually use alot of tabs , still I can't sort them, clear duplicates .. etc. Althoygh, I could notice that alot of people requested this YEARS ago. Kindly, this feature is a must, please take into consideration. Thanks.

Dear Firefox Support,

I am a long-time Firefox user and greatly appreciate the privacy-focused and user-friendly experience your browser offers. However, I would like to request an enhancement to the Android version of Firefox.

Currently, the Firefox Start Page on Android only displays two rows of shortcut icons under "Top Sites" (Pinned Shortcuts). This limitation restricts quick access to frequently used websites, especially for users who rely on visual organization.

I would kindly request the option to customize the number of visible shortcut rows — for example, allowing up to 5 or more rows — directly from the app’s settings. This would greatly improve usability and personalization without affecting the minimalist design of the Start Page.

Thank you for your work and consideration. I hope this suggestion can be taken into account for a future update.

Best regards, Florin
