The new menu can't be disabled. This wouldn't be so bad but the 3 dots are still at the top. If the menu now opens at the bottom, you should be able to open it from the bottom as well. That's how other mobile browsers do it. Plus it's bad on tablets which are supposed to act like a desktop browser.

I can't get Firefox to enable the Javascript. I go to sites that rely on Javascript, but I don't know what browsers give me security and Javascript at the same time.

I use a Galaxy A21. It still has the OEM Samsung browser.

What can I use that isn't Goole.

I wish there was a setting to not have the page refresh every time you go into another app and then come back into this one, it's impossible to multitask and extremely frustrating. It seems to happen on most pages I visit, even YouTube. Especially on pages with forms. It makes moving around on your phone to get info for forms impossible, and it's also just frustrating when you go to answer a text, come back and your progress on a video or form or shopping search has reset and started over, taking you back to the top. Is that sort of thing dependent on the website, or the browser?

I have a Samsung fold phone, and particularly when I select open link in new tab, or I open a new tab and navigate, the flip flip "website for computers" or whatever the English term is gets flipped on. Why does it keep changing without my permission? How do I lock it in off position until I want to change it?

Hello Firefox Support Team,

Thank you for providing such an excellent browser, free of charge and without advertisements.

I am experiencing an issue on my Samsung J5 running Android 5. When I try to set Firefox as the default browser, I am redirected to an information page. While helpful, it does not mention that Firefox cannot be set as the default browser on Android versions below 8.

It would be clearer if this limitation were explicitly stated on that page.

Thank you for your attention, and best regards to the entire Firefox team.

I live in New Zealand. I've recently come back here after a holiday in Europe. My phone is set to automatically pickup the correct time from my local phone provider and it's done that so I'm now UTC + 13.

My Fennec browser isn't reflecting that and still thinks it's in the UK.

144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 AS: 144.0.1 OS: Android 12

Is there a setting I can change? Or someway to flush that cached value?

Thanks.

Every time I open Firefox Nightly it opens Google Play Store to get me to rate the app.

This is a usability nightmare.

It asked me to rate the app originally and I pressed whatever the 'not just now' option was.

Now I get taken to the Google Play Store every time I launch Firefox Nightly. I cannot find any setting to revert this, and have no intention of leaving a review.

I was told to post this here after leaving a review on the Play Store. The sensitivity of pull down to refresh is too sensitive. When I go to search for something on a website and I try to click the suggested search, it refreshes the page almost every time. eBay and IMDb are the most problematic pages, but it happens on other sites as well. Also, some times just regular scrolling down to read triggers a refresh no matter how soft and slow I try to do it. And that's actually going the opposite direction because I'm moving up to scroll down and it still triggers it. I like having pull down to refresh, it's just too sensitive. I'm using a Samsung S25 and everything (app and system software etc) is fully updated if that info is needed.

I have installed web apps to firefox on my phone by using menu -> Add to Home Screen Now that they are installed, though, I cannot get rid of them. Even if I delete the icons from my home screen, they show up in the menu when I long tap on the firefox app icon and still act as apps there. I have looked for a way to remove them and have not found one. Is there no other option than wiping firefox's data?
