It appears there are a number of similar issues on this forum but they have all been archived so I cannot add to them.

With some websites Firefox seems to work fine. Other websites in the middle of an otherwise functional browsing session will completely fail to load, with or without a frozen loading bar. This happens on an android tablet and phone, mostly for the same websites. Sometimes I can come back to the tab a few minutes later, refresh or tap the URL bar and hit enter and it'll work. Sometimes I can copy the URL to a new tab where it will load normally. Sometimes neither method works, in which case rebooting the phone fails to fix it as well!!

On the tablet the reload button is visible on the menu bar, I found I can press and hold it which appears to do a different kind of refresh than just pressing it - I imagine akin to ctrl-f5 on Windows. This will sometimes work, but often not until a minute or two has elapsed.

I'm on Firefox 131 and has persisted for months so if it's something that should have been fixed in updates, it definitely doesn't apply to what I'm experiencing.

Please help! I am tired of having my browsing experience interrupted for multiple minutes or worse.

I will have to stop using Mozilla after many years - sad. But I am getting links blocked by stupid error messages about security when the sources are well known and protected. Today it was the Journal of the American Medical Association. I have no time to deal with this nonsense.

Steps: - create an iframe without src - create click event listener on any other element - set iframe src to on click to some url that supports "go to application" e.g. YouTube embed url

Expected: Iframe shows youtube video on element click

Actual: Firefox asks to open a new tab or open an app, and never shows this in iframe

Fix for developers: Recreate the iframe with the src

It only works on ff android, we spent literally hours to catch this bug

Hi,

Basically my self hosted jellyfin instance throws an error:

Corrupted Content Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

   Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

But on chrome it is working as expected. Any way i can check for errors in the android app?
