Firefox for Android Community Forum

The latest update of Firefox for Android (130.0 (Build #2016041319)) removed the ability to swipe away the "Tab Closed Undo" bar that shows up when closing a tab.

If a user closes the last tab, a purple-ish bar appears at the bottom of the screen that reads "Tab Closed" on the left and "Undo" in a different font on the right. In previous versions of Firefox for Android a user could swipe away this bar to make it go away. In the current version that is no longer possible and I would really appreciate having that back.

(Honestly I would actually really appreciate never seeing the bar since I can access closed tabs via the History and I really dislike the bar.)

I enjoy using Firefox for its clarity, security, and overall performance. However, on my Android tablet, switching between tabs can be difficult. I would love to have a tab bar at the top, similar to the desktop version, for easier access to specific tabs. The current swipe gesture to change tabs is useful but doesn't allow me to see all open tabs at a glance. Additionally, I’d appreciate an extension for auto-refreshing tabs and a setting for desktop view, so that when I enable it, all tabs—including future ones—open in desktop mode. However, it should still be possible to switch individual tabs back to mobile view if needed.

Thanks Subhankar

I am logged into my FF account of a laptop, tablet, phone, and desktop. All of them sync settings and open tabs without any trouble except for my phone (Android, Pixel 7a).

I can only get the phone to sync tabs by logging out and logging back in.

This has been an issue for months, but previously it would work if I restarted FF (or sometimes when I restarted my phone). It now only works by logging out and then back in.

What's odd is that it appears to still sync my search history. I could be mistaken, but sometimes when I visit a new tab it appears that the same url will autocomplete when I am on my laptop. But, the tab being open on my phone does not appear in the "Show tabs from other devices" or "View recent browsing across windows and devices" areas.

I want to have tab icon for bookmark on main screen on android tab, this isvery much important , for Windows there have option for bookmark toolbar, in the same way need fix shortcut for website , as shortcut is available but when I sync with laptop unable to add or edit shortcut, on that place history coming.

One more problem, need to have mouse scrolling works for refreshing the page or please add one add on for page reload

Thanks

Fix this old bug please https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1367481 I record video but can attach only useless image

When I am in google and click in a link, firefox open a duplicate tab of the page I was and then I can access the page link I clicked. If I return to the original tab, this open again a new tab, a third tab. I cleared the cache, cleared the cookies, uninstall firefox and reinstall again but nothing resolved.

Why is there not an option to turn this off. It is way too easy to close tab when scrolling up or down to find a tab. This is a dumb feature that needs to be toggled off.

I now have the problem that I am on a large payment page and switch back and forth between FF and another app (to copy payment-relevant data). Unfortunately, FF does a page refresh every time it is brought back to the foreground from the background. And all the data already entered is lost! This is a fairly well-known problem with FF on Android! Chromium manages this better and leaves the memory management to Android. Why can't FF do that? Why can't I switch off this feature? I can't edit any relevant websites with the FF. I have to use Chrome for that! Hooray!

Hello,

My phone seems to be having a problem where links I click on in my phone, whether from texts or emails or even typing into the search bar widget for firefox for my phone, is opening the tabs into the very top of my tab list. I have my settings set to the tabs being in a list, and new tabs open at the bottom, with older tabs farther up. But now new tabs from links are opening at the top of the list, and I have to copy the link and paste it into a new tab I set up manually and go all the way to the top of my tab list to close out the old tabs.

I also noticed when dealing with this problem that several old tabs I had open are no longer there. They seem to have just dissapeared. I have the setting to set tabs into an inactive section turned off, and I verified this is the case. I don't know where the old tabs went.

I am also having a problem where my bookmarks don't seem to be showing up. When I search for something in the URL bar, it searches my bookmarks, and when I edit a bookmark I have just added, I see all the folders. But when I just go to look through my bookmarks manually, I can't see them anywhere, and none of the folders I have made.

Are all of these things related?

My phone is an Android Motorola Edge 2022. It is fully updated, and the apps are fully updated regularly.

I also cleared the cache recently on all of my apps using ccleaner. This has not solved the problems.

Please help!

Thanks.

Looking for support on searching for tabs on Firefox for Android which is similar to the [version] .

when i have more than 10 pages open the app starts crashing, won't let me go back as well and sometimes just reloads. There were also situations in which he grabbed me without me doing anything. I have about 4-5 extensions (in the photo). I'm using Samsung Galaxy S24, my previous was A52 (I had no problem with it)

Sorry this is not a question but I can't find a email for Mozilla mobile for android we need a way to make it harder to accidently close a tab and also an option is setting to bringing back said closed tab with a longer time not 3seconds so who ever gets this please send it to a Mozilla worker.

Using my mobile device (Samsung s23 ultra) as of just a few days ago every time I click a Google search result instead of opening a new tab in Firefox it instead opens a temporary tab that I have to click and tell to "open in Firefox". It only does it with one of my Google accounts. Meaning that if I switch Google accounts and do a search and click a result Firefox opens a new tab. Which is my preference. I switch back to the other Google account and it goes back to a temp tab. I've uninstalled Firefox and it didn't change. I at first thought it was a Google thing but when I use other browsers like the default Samsung browser it doesn't do it. Attached is an image of the "temp tab" as I call it. Anyone know where option to have search results open as a tab?

On my new samsung A55 installed Firefox for android and when opening a new tab, searching in the main search bar (preference is set to google) and then selecting the google search result, instead of the page opening up, a new tab opens up with the same search results. Any way to fix this?

Hi, today I suddenly noticed that all except my most recent tabs were gone. In "recently closed tabs" I only see tabs that I did actually close, not the 100+ that I didn't. There is a small chance this happened yesterday when I turned off my phone (I only noticed just now), but I haven't updated/ changed/ done anything out of the ordinary lately. I hoped I would find them through sync, but that wasn't working so stupidly enough I synced to fix that, which means sync now only says 0 tabs. Using Android 13 + Firefox 123.0(.1? There's a lot of different numbers on that page) Help?
