Hi. So for quite a few months I've been experiencing two issues relating to the Firefox auto fill for login details.

Issue 1. When you visit a website sign in page the "Suggested logins" box pops up at the bottom (all normal). But then when you login the box won't go away. I can navigate to somewhere new in same tab or switch to another tab already open and the box won't disappear. To get rid of it I need to open a new tab and go to a new webpage, then I can go back to my already open tab.

Issue 2. The "Suggested logins" auto fill for sign in fields on a webpage won't work. This issue started around the same time as the first and is not on every website but a few including Google Account sign in which I use a lot. I will navigate to a sign in page, the Suggested logins box pops up, I select the login I want, but then it won't fill it in.

I've tried reinstalling the Firefox app, but it didn't work. I've kept using the app despite dealing with this everyday. They may be small bugs but they do get tedious after months of it daily. I was hoping an app update would fix the problem but no update has. So I thought I would share, see if its just me.

I have a little website that tracks my location. I keep it open in a tab almost always, since I use it daily. About once a day Firefox wants me to log in again, and after that, the location info is disabled. Is there not a way to survive that I trust that site, and want it to have access to my location every time? Even better if I did not have to log in so often.

All this on a Fairphone, Android 12

YouTube soft-crashes when going full screen sideways

Steps to reproduce : - go to YouTube - open a video - press the full screen button or tilt the phone sideways to trigger full screen - Firefox crashes and forces back to home screen - if opening Firefox again only half of the video component shows as in portrait mode, rest is black screen - if attempting to go side/full screen does properly show the video, but going back again to normal screen still shows the half black screen

I can reproduce this with a almost 100% rate, it only fixes itself by restarting Firefox, where it will work until phone is put to sleep mode.

I tried reinstalling Firefox from scratch, as well as deleting my browser cache and it didn't fix.

how do I disable the media control for Firefox on Android?

Every time I open a video and Firefox the stupid media control opens on my phone and plays the video or music or whatever I clicked on in the background for eternity unless I pause it, but then after a few minutes it just starts playing on its own again. Why is there no option to disable or close the stupid player?

I close Firefox I end the process but yet the stupid sound keeps coming out of my phone even with the screen off all the apps closed.

The only option I have is to hide the media control which then plays the music with absolutely no way for me to stop it. If I click on settings from that window it brings me to a screen where both options are already disabled saying not to use it but it's still opening anyways.

I can only find remedies for Windows or Mac I have not come across any solution for Android. I basically have to restart my phone every time this happens in order to get it to stop.

How to always allow cookies on android?

I have searched in vain to find a way to keep cookies for a certain site on my android. Everything I see says to go to privacy in settings, but that doesn't exist on my phone's browser.

It's really irritating to have the site always send me an email, warning me that I have logged in, as well as insisting on texting me a code. Telling it to recognize my device does nothing if the cookies are deleted. (And, no, I'm not going to set it to always save all cookies when I choose "quit" on the browser.)

Please add this ability, Firefox! My computer browser has had the ability for years and years.

How can I do a search for products, or search for anything that includes more than Amazon crap. I'm looking for products to buy that I don't have to buy from amazon. Amazon has their own set of products and they are not trustworthy and I want to buy products that are more trustworthy and do searches far beyond Amazon l or Google propaganda. I want a much larger and vast range of products to pick from. I've used Google, Firefox, Duck Duck Go, start, almost every search engine, all I get is Google repeat crap and Amazon repeat crap, how can I avoid this? It's all I've been getting for the last 3 years and I just have had it. So do I switch from Mozilla Firefox, or do I switch search engines, do I switch browser, what do I do?
