Firefox for Android Community Forum

Sometimes I want to close tabs to free up memory but I don't want to close the tab I'm currently using so I have to close all other tabs manually which is tedious.

Perhaps tapping and holding could bring up a menu that says "Close all other tabs" and/or "Close tabs before/after" like on desktop.

I've downloaded a calendar file 4 times from a website. I've checked all of my 2 download folders with internet and SD card. Not there. I 4 notifications listed next to the Firefox shortcut. Where the hell did Firefox send the files and how do I deal with the notifications. Not listed when I go into the settings. Beyond frustrating. Shouldn't be this hard. Urgh.

Just updated to latest version of Firefox for Android (ver 113). When I try to watch a YouTube video in full screen, the app suddenly closes, as if I pressed the home button (note: I say "close" rather than "crash" because when I reopen it, all the pages are still loaded). This doesn't happen every time, but it is annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Passwords imported from Chrome on desktop do not sync to Android. Manual sync forced on both ends did not help. Can't say all imported passwords are impacted but two for sure. Having this issue since the import date 3+ months ago.

The Delete Browsing Data option, manually or by the quit button, doesn't clear cookies if the tab is still open.

Simple example: go to youtube.com, search for anything, e.g. "asmr". In the same tab, go to a new site, e g. google.com. Then go to settings and Delete Browsing Data, with all selected but downloads. Now, all tabs are closed, so in a new tab go to youtube.com, and click in the search and the previous search, e.g. "asmr", shows up in a droplist.

This droplist behavior shouldn't occur when all data is cleared. This behavior doesn't occur if the tab is closed before Delete Browsing History is selected.

Sometimes notifications received on Android Firefox about the tabs sent from a desktop Firefox using "Send tab" function don't do anything when tapped.

If the Firefox is open then tapping brings it to the front. If not, Firefox is started with the previously opened tabs but the page that was sent from another device is not opened. The URL is clearly visible in the notification but it is ignored. I have to type it in manually.

This only happens occasionally, most of the time the notifications work as expected but when they don't it's a major frustration because there's no way to retrieve the URLs.

On Firefox Beta for Android, 113.0b9 (Build #2015947331).

I run 30-40 tabs. Sometimes when I switch to a tab it is no longer on the page I left it at. It is one page back in the tabs history. When I first switch to the tab the URL is briefly correct, and it's as of the Back button was hit. Forward is not an available option.

It does not consistently happen, or I would have better repro steps. Maybe it has to do with the tab being loaded out of memory?

This has been going on for a while now, a few months at least. I figured it would be fixed with subsequent updates but not yet, I have also had no luck searching for anyone else experiencing this bug.

Whenever I start Firefox Android and go to a YouTube video. Autoplay is enabled by default. I always have to hit the disable autoplay to turn it off. Autoplay set to block audio and video by default in the site permissions. I tried installing the "YouTube high definition" addon which is supposed to allow you to pause autoplay but that doesn't work either. This occurs on both my phone and tablet.

Any suggestions?

I've been reusing android firefox again lately and I noticed I would have a bunch of tabs at a time. Then I realized that it was because whenever I would click a shortcut from the search screen it would open the page in a new tab instead of staying on the current tab. Is there a way to change this?

I've been getting declined transactions from Mozilla due to my old debit card being outdated. Most likely something from the play store or from a roblox account from my son, but I just can't tell what is is. No info pertaining to what it was trying to charge. It's not going through and I have not received any emails regarding it, so no lost $ but it's just annoying that there is no way to find out what it is trying to charge. I don't believe I've ever input my card info into my Firefox account for anything, and it doesn't appear to have that option. I've never signed up for the VPN. But even if it was a mistake or signed up through the play store I don't show any subscriptions or purchases for a service. So what the heck is it? There is no way to find out that I've seen! My bank can't tell, I can't tell and so far Mozilla can't tell you how to tell. Usually purchases from roblox comes up as that. Not Mozilla. And this just started happening the last few weeks.

Hello! I've got a problem with installing website's PWA on my phone through the Install option in the 3 dots menu.

The website I'm talking about is 9anime.to and it worked fine on Brave, but when I switched back to Firefox, it just does not work for some reason. It also does not make an app icon or whatever it was supposed to do.

I'll provide the google drive link for the video how it looks on my end.

I also included in the uploaded images, the Firefox version and as well my phone's version.

When attempting to enter full screen mode on Firefox for Android, and to get into landscape mode, the browser appears to crash, keeps audio playing, and "entering full screen mode" dialogue pops up. Have to open Firefox again, and can only be viewed in landscape mode while session is continued. To return to non-landscape mode, the app needs to be force stopped, otherwise you only get to see the left one third side of any web page you navigate to. Seems to have started with most recent update. Is there any way to fix?

Briefly, when openning a link that should redirect to a WhatsApp chat, it says - after pressing open chat - WhatsApp not installed. Why? Note: In chrome it is working normally.
