Firefox for Android Community Forum

I need to enable popups for a site that I use frequently for work. I keep getting an error message saying to enable them, but I don't see a way to do it. The dialog box asks if I want to allow the page to open, but it just goes to a blank page. It works fine on my laptop. I run strict ETP, but have turned it off for this site.

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

How do you disable the "feature" that closes tabs when you swipe over them by accident? It's way to sensitive and ends up closing tabs that I want to be left open all of the time.

The site (which I have used before on this phone) now tells me I must have Javascript enabled. I have looked through SUPPORT and I see 44 other inquiries on this topic but no answers. HELP!

I have Firefox in my laptop and also mobile phone I was tidying them up last night and they were all on both devices. This morning the most recent bookmarks are missing from both. I tried to "restore" but this still does not bring back my recent bookmarks. Is there any way I can recover them. Many thanks

Google maps does not work even tho both the browser and gmaps site have location access and location is turned on . The problem is with firefox for android (stable version 133) . It has been like this for sometime i thought I'd just wait for it to fix itself but that's obviously not happening . Infinite loading or location not detected error . Have tried running with all protections and extension off . Do any of you have this issue ? Is there a way to fix it ? is the issue already acknowledged and worked on ?

I download pictures frequently and have noticed an issue with Firefox. It appears that Firefox is accessing my files and replacing random pictures I had previously organized in my Pictures folder. Even though I declined the permission for Firefox to access my pictures, it somehow still reads my files and replacing them it likes to. How can I stop this behavior? It doesn’t happen with other browsers.

There is an easy way to replicate this issue on the Firefox release, beta, and nightly versions:

1. Download a picture.

2. Move the picture to any folder within the Pictures folder.

3. Redownload the same picture again.

4. Click "Open" directly and open in Google Photos.

5. Click the three dots in the top-right corner to confirm the file's location.

You will see that Firefox knows the new file location and opens it from there. This indicates that Firefox is accessing file information directly because the "Open" function wouldn’t work if a third-party app was responsible for managing it.

I'm trying to add Google chrome or any other search engine in as an additional one. So to add a new search engine you have to title it and then add in its address. I cannot figure out how to write this out correctly. Could someone please help. Thank you kindly.

Hi all, There is a bug regarding the "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox (Android - version 133.0.3).

Despite being sorted accordingly on PC and synchronized, the mobile version of Firefox for bookmarks are scrambled (see attached image).

On mobile Firefox, it looked like it was sorted according to the "recently added" bookmarks.

To add on for more details, expected results according to the PC version of "Bookmarks Manager", it should have been displayed this way on Android Firefox:

• Desktop Bookmarks
• Folder
• Link 1
• Link 2
• Link 3
• Link 4
• Link 5
• Webtoon
• Twitter

And so on.

Why would I get this error message when downloading from canva: https://export-download.canva.com/5A-Ps/DAGORK5A-Ps/5/0-1844676587812171127.pdf?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAJHKNGJLC2J7OGJ6Q%2F20250107%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20250107T230037Z&X-Amz-Expires=29078&X-Amz-Signature=4503d79d29a90e609353d10d8f344e6d203897659b0ccc4c4b7600fc6dd7c929&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27instruction%2520video%2520link%2520%25282%2529.pdf.pdf&response-expires=Wed%2C%2008%20Jan%202025%2007%3A05%3A15%20GMT

Since version 134 of Firefox Android has been out, it crashes EVERY TIME when I try ot use the "back" gesture on my Xiaomi 14(i.e. swiping from right or left side of the screen) I tried Firefox 134, Iceraven 2.27 (also based on the same Gecko) - they act the same. In the same time I also have Waterfox, based in the previous version of Firefox 133, and it responds properly. I guess it is related to the latest version only. Here's the crash log:

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.

Here is a "story": 1. I want to sign in into github using a passkey stored on my yubikey 2. I plug in my yubikey 5C into my phone (samsung z flip 6) 3. I open github.com in firefox 4. I press "sign in with a passkey" 5. Firefox opens some samsung chooser, I choose "other devices > show qr code" 6. login fails and firefox opens Google's prompt to enter pin for the yubikey (but the login already failed, so it does not matter)

My roommate experiences the same bug with his yubikey and his samsung S24.

Doing the same in chrome works. Instead of opening samsung thing it opens Google thing directly where I can choose "use a different device" and it works after that (no login fail).

Is this a known issue? Can I do something to fix it or at least debug it?

(images are, in order, "prompt when using 'sign in with a passkey' in firefox", "login fails as soon as I tap 'show QR code'", and "prompt when using 'sign in with a passkey' in chrome)

When I've updated Firefox ( 130.0)- from ( Play store); I've noticed that the new version in some way had been missplaced with the desktop version.

However every time I open a new tab- it will always open the Desktop version.

So,please if someone could publish the correct version.
