I'm trying to add Desmos Graphing Calculator to the bookmarks on the homepage. I have that setting turned on but Desmos doesn't appear even though I have it bookmarked. In fact, when I bookmark Desmos, it removes websites from appearing on the bookmarks homepage. I have a feeling it's because I hit "remove" on the bookmark on the homepage instead of hitting "delete" on the bookmark in the bookmarks folder, but then how do I undo that?

Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks

Unless I'm mistaken, the Android Firefox app used to have group tabs and was replaced by Collections. Personally, I find it less user friendly and requires more clicks while ending up with a worse version of what Group Tabs accomplished. It essentially operates as a weird mix of Group Tabs and Bookmarks while being worse than both.

Cons of Collections:

  • There is no differentiation between tabs in a collection and not in a collection.
  • There is no quick swapping between tabs in a collection.
  • There is no option to Close all tabs in a collection but there is one to Open all tabs. This just looks messy.
  • Collections can only be opened from Homepage, not the Tabs screen.
  • Saving a collection requires long-press, select tab(s), tap Collection icon, then select a Collection. Group tabs requires longpress, select multiple, tap group icon OR drag and stack tabs.

Pros of Collections:

  • Neatly stored on Homepage instead of taking up a Tab slot on Tab page. (which could be fixed be programming group tabs ability to be stored on Homepage and re-opened with option).

All in all it is just a 5/10 feature in functionality. Even less so when taking into account that Android Firefox also has Bookmarks and Shortcuts. Please go back to drawing board on this one, it's really one feature I miss about Chrome (and what I thought Firefox used to have).

Landscape fullscreen not taking full screen height

I'm using Firefox Nightly 130.0a1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. When I open a video in fullscreen and it rotates to landscape, there is a large gap between the video and the edge of the screen. Interestingly, this gap is affected by the setting "Customize -> Address bar location" - If the address bar is set to appear on top the gap is on top, and if the address bar is set to appear on bottom the gap is on the bottom. I've included screenshots from both settings. This happens on both YouTube and Dailymotion, so it is a browser issue and not a site issue.

I'm trying to set my DNS settings in Firefox Nightly to a custom service. But i am having nothing but problems.

"Firefox Nightly 128.0a1 (Build #2016025199)"

I want to use one of these settings for the secured w/ECS:Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled.

My only problem is I'm not sure which format of the address options I should be inputting in the DNS settings in the about:config

Please help.

Secured w/ECS: Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled

IPv4 9.9.9.11 149.112.112.11

IPv6 2620:fe::11 2620:fe::fe:11

HTTPS https://dns11.quad9.net/dns-query

TLS tls://dns11.quad9.net

P S. Yes I know I can set a custom DNS address in the connections settings of my android device. And it works most of the time. I however want my own settings in the browser itself.

Thank you in advance

I used to be able to hold the back button down so I could see a short history for the current tab, and I'm not sure if it was an update or a bug, but does anyone know if it's possible to enable it in about:config? It's really useful when you're trying to go back but a redirect is preventing you.

I have a strange problem when searching for stuff on the internet. (Using google if it matters)

First search I type something like cars. I press enter. I get cars.

Second search I type black cars. I press enter. I get cars again and in the search result it shows i searched cars.

I type black cars again. I press enter. I get black cars, search finally says I searched black cars.

I refresh. I get cars again and the search shows I only searched cars.


Every time I wanna search something I need to open up a new tab or I run into this issue and it's driving me insane. I have no idea where to even start with troubleshooting this problem, it's so strange.
