...Desktop site option setting does not stick! After switching tabs for 5 mins, it changes back to mobile site view & I HAVE TO X out of tab, reopen it, & check desktop site again! You can't just reset the desktop site option on & off either, doesn't work. You MUST X out the tab & start all over. ...It's a real pia! In older versions it always worked, always defaulted even days later! However, NOT in the last few versions, why can't it still currently work now? It should! ...And god for bid you find any real support! And probably won't get it here either. ...."IS" there ANY real, live support around here? A developer email? Anything??? I'd love this issue to be fixed one day, SOON! ...Android +12, Samsung A03 Thank You

how to change back to startup splash screen minimalist logo?

I was told to ask for support here rather than at bugzilla.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 10; Mobile; rv:109.0) Gecko/116.0 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Fennec from F-droid 2. Open browser 3. Observe splash screen 4. The original logo is back

Actual results: 116.2.0 changed the startup splash screen back to the regular logo. I actually rather liked the minimalist splash screen logo we had for a few weeks prior.

Expected results: Is there a flag in the config that I can change to get back the minimalist logo?

Hi, This is more of a feature request than a question. I know, that the nav bar of Android Firefox auto-hides, as soon I scroll on a website. But what about non-scroll sites or fullscreen sites? On those I have a perma-nav-bar, impossible to hide and impossible to use the full screen. I always need to use a different browser specially just for that. Thats super annoiyng.

Is there any chance, to get a solution for that?

Im using Firefox android on my new pixel 7. I found that the 'add to home screen' option is not available on the ... List. I searched for solution. Someone say click on Install option. But there's no install option either.

The add to home screen is available on my old moto phone

Does anyone have this same issue and have a solution how to fix this? I very much appreciate all your help!

I think it was the update to 1:15, but I'm not certain when the search engines I had disabled were unable to again. I don't understand why I can't delete, for example, Bing and eBay which I will never ever use, but to have to disable them adventuresjust because I update Firefox, seems ridiculous.

Android back to top feature

Hello everyone, there is a feature that Samsung internet uses (and for the most part almost every app on iOS) called "back to top". With the introduction of add-ons I was hoping you could allow us to download an add-on that has similar functionality or Firefox could introduce this feature natively.

I find this feature quite important since you could be knee deep into an article, novel or webtoon and have the need to back to the top of the page (which can be as easy as pressing the home key on PC).

Hopefully there is a solution to this, I didn't think I'd miss it swapping from a browser that has it but I really do.

Dear sir/madam,

The new sepia reading mode cannot be turned off easily without compromising privacy. If i click to set it to dark mode through controls , the next page is sepia again. But if i use the fast way, by clicking on the icon next to the url, it turns my page from a https to a http. It feels like the feature is not supposed to work like that. Now i think about it, any page that by default is https is darkmode, but any page that is turned into an https is turned sepia or not https anymore. I get that it strains the eyes less and i am certainly not against the feature itself, but i do enjoy pictures and video's in full colour and for me personally, dark mode reads better.

In other words, i love it as a feature not as a default and i don't think it was meant as one, but it cannot be turned off right now.

Kind regards Jen.

I am beyond frustrated (had to create an account to submit this) trying to install the 'Bypass Paywalls Clean (D) addon, where it's permission to install prompt covers the entire screen, without an option to scroll down to the bottom to install it (developer put all of the text from the description, in the wrong place, is what I suspect).

I Uploaded a video to youtube of this happening in Firefox version 123.1.0, apparently also impacting 124.0.

How can this be corrected? I attached a screenshot too.

For the past week or so (Firefox app was last updated around 1st September I believe), my Sony XZ2 phone has restarted itself after saving a picture off the Internet. The new update today didn't fix it. The phone screen goes blank, then the background reappears with the app icons and it reconnects to the internet again. Just like pressing the restart button but much quicker. I've tried other Internet browser apps with saving the same picture and not had it happen. Not sure if it's just a coincidence that the problem has coincided with the last update though.
