Firefox for Android Community Forum

bold text Why is firefox now keeping track of all sites I have visited? Tapping "close all tabs" or "quit" help. Is this related to your policy wording changes? Just say so! Do I need to choose another browser IronFox?? Brave catching up. I have used firefox 7+ years!!!

I have a Samsung J5 with Android 9.

I have Firefox Beta version 139.0b10.

Has the issue of Firefox beta cutting off text between pages of the PDF file when printing to PDF files been resolved with the latest versions of Firefox beta?

Firefox for Android version 147.0.2 (Build #2016140255) Android version 15

Hi In the Android settings spell checking is enabled. But in a text edit box on a website I visit with Firefox for Android spell checking doesn't work - no underlined wrong words. So my question: Where do I enable spell checking in Firefox for Android?

Just got the new update 147.0.1 (Build #2016138271)

Wondering if there is any way to enable opening bookmarks in new tabs without having to menu/long press the link?

I'm pretty sure Firefox made that function by default before this update, and would be nice if they could make that a toggle option rather than wholesale disabling it.

It was actually useful (for me) on mobile. Made it easier to not lose a tab I'm currently on. Now I keep automatically losing the previous open tab with new content, kinda frustrating.

Much thanks for any responses.

Добрый день! Уже не первый раз встречается проблема когда возврат на предыдущую страницу возвращает на исходную. Например: захожу в поисковик гугл, ввожу запрос и перехожу на какой-нибудь результат, далее возвращаюсь назад и меняю свой запрос в поисковике, захожу на новую страницу из результатов, снова возвращаюсь назад, но попадаю не на последний мой запрос в поисковике а на самые первый.

Dear Firefox Team, I have used Firefox for many years, but the built-in translation feature remains unnecessarily complicated. Every time I must manually select source and target languages, as if defaults and user preferences do not exist. This is not a technical problem, but a basic UX failure already solved by competing browsers. If this trivial but daily issue continues to be ignored, I will unfortunately be forced to stop using Firefox. Please make translations remember language pairs and default to the user’s language. Sincerely, Ladislav Vičić

Current Permission Settings for Firefox to open links is set to DONT OPEN LINKS

How can I change this to ALLOW TO OPEN LINKS.

Its a big problem because I have Firefox set as Password Manager but when I get emails from sources such as banks or medical or government they wont open and so I cant get to the documents or url they send me.

I am aware of the risk of opening links that might pose security threat so I want to be able to decide for myself. I dont know how this got set to not open links. Maybe Google because they are always changing settings and adding apps WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION.

So sometimes when I set up a new account and say YES TO SAVE PASSWORD it ends up being saved to Google Settings instead

1. Customise homepage
2. Toggle Bookmarks
3. Switch Opening screen to Homepage
4. Open a new tab to youtube.com
5. Add to Bookmarks
6. Go to homepage
7. Nothing is showing up, the whole page is empty

I'm an experienced Firefox user who has already tried multiple troubleshooting steps. I need concrete support for this specific problem.

PROBLEM SUMMARY: I have ~1,625 bookmarks on my Android tablet (Device D). These bookmarks are NOT syncing to my other devices (Windows 11 + 2x Android). All other devices remain empty – no bookmarks available.

DEVICE SETUP: - Device A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (new profile "CleanSync") - Device B: Android phone, Firefox - Device C: Android phone, Firefox - Device D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (SOURCE of bookmarks!)

SYNC ACCOUNT: - Email: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Newly created, old accounts deleted) - All 4 devices signed in + Sync enabled - Sync settings: "Bookmarks" CHECKED ✓ on all

WHAT I'VE TRIED: 1. Cleared Firefox cache on all devices (A/B/C/D) 2. Cleared Firefox data on Android B/C 3. Deleted old Sync accounts server-side (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Created new account + added devices sequentially 5. WAITED: 2+ hours → No change

SYMPTOM: - Device D: 1,625 bookmarks LOCAL ✓ - Device A/B/C: 0 bookmarks (completely empty) ✗ - Sync status A/B/C: Shows "Sync enabled" + last sync X min ago - → But bookmarks NOT arriving

SUSPECTED CAUSE: Bookmarks from Device D not uploading to Mozilla server → other devices can't sync

LOGS AVAILABLE: - Device A: `about:sync-log` (can provide screenshots) - All devices: Sync settings screenshots

TWO QUESTIONS: 1. Diagnosis: What can I test to debug why bookmarks from Android D are not syncing? (Please NO FAQ links – I need individual instructions for this specific problem.)

2. Fallback option: Is there a way to backup/export the 1,625 bookmarks from Android D WITHOUT Sync (file, SQL export, cloud backup)? I could then manually import to other devices.

Thanx so much in advance! 🙏

Ich bin langjähriger Firefox-Nutzer und habe bereits mehrere Troubleshooting-Schritte durchgeführt. Trotzdem benötige ich konkrete Unterstützung für dieses spezifische Problem.

PROBLEM KURZ: Ich habe ~1.625 Lesezeichen auf meinem Android-Tablet (Gerät D). Diese Lesezeichen syncen NICHT zu meinen anderen Geräten (Windows 11 + 2x Android). Alle anderen Geräte bleiben leer – keine Lesezeichen vorhanden.

GERÄTE-SETUP: - Gerät A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (neues Profil „CleanSync") - Gerät B: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät C: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (QUELLE der Lesezeichen!)

SYNC-KONTO: - E-Mail: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Neu erstellt, alte Kontos gelöscht) - Alle 4 Geräte angemeldet + Sync aktiviert - Sync-Einstellungen: „Lesezeichen" ist überall CHECKED ✓

WAS ICH SCHON VERSUCHT HABE: 1. Firefox-Cache auf allen Geräten gelöscht (A/B/C/D) 2. Firefox-Daten auf Android B/C geleert 3. Alte Sync-Kontos server-seitig gelöscht (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Neues Konto erstellt + sukzessiv alle Geräte angemeldet 5. WARTEN: 2+ Stunden gewartet → Keine Änderung

SYMPTOM: - Gerät D: 1.625 Lesezeichen LOKAL sichtbar ✓ - Gerät A/B/C: 0 Lesezeichen (komplett leer) ✗ - Sync-Status A/B/C: Zeigt „Sync enabled" + letzte Sync vor X Min - → Aber Lesezeichen kommen NICHT an

VERMUTUNG: Lesezeichen von Gerät D laden NICHT auf Mozilla-Server → andere Geräte können nicht syncen

LOGS VERFÜGBAR: - Gerät A: `about:sync-log` (kann Screenshots bereitstellen) - Alle Geräte: Sync-Einstellungen-Screenshots

ZWEI FRAGEN: 1. Diagnose: Was kann ich konkret testen, um zu debuggen, warum Lesezeichen von Android D nicht syncen? (Bitte KEINE Verweise auf FAQ – ich benötige individuelle Anweisungen für dieses spezifische Problem.)

2. Fallback-Option: Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die 1.625 Lesezeichen von Android D OHNE Sync zu sichern/exportieren (z. B. Datei, SQL-Export, Cloud-Backup)? Ich könnte sie dann manuell auf die anderen Geräte importieren.

Danke im Voraus! 🙏

I rely on Firefox's auto-fill functionality, so turning it off is not an option for me. Frequently, on secure sites where I am registering or making a purchase, and after I have already filled the form data saved, the fill form banner at the bottom of page remains, blocking the form 'Submit', 'Continue', 'Next', etc. It doesn't happen all the time, so assume this has to do with how the form-fill control interacts with page coding. Is there a workaround for this that does not involve turning auto-fill off?

So, on my pixel I am using my VPN and am getting tired of having to do the Captcha thing everytime I put in a website, I am about ready to uninstall Firefox. I have it synced with my desktop and never have this problem on my PC. How do I stop this?

Violentmonkey beta doesnt have signed builds for beta releases and i had 130 UserScripts in my violentmonkey setup

I want to get those UserScripts...its absolutely a shame not letting a User access or enable a addon just because of this

I downloaded Firefox on my android because I wanted to use Character.AI the same way with the Chatbot Manager extension just as I could do on my PC, the C.AI website works, but all the site elements are not sized/positioned as they are supposed to, as I have seen on chrome. Please try to fix it as soon as possible.

And also, could you confirm if my Chatbot Manager which operates as another page in my browser control C.AI which is another separate page? If not, please try to implement that too.
