I'm moving away from Brave for one reason:

- If you do not have brave sync on at least 2 devices and your device crashes, your bookmarks are lost.

Looking for a webbroswer with sync capability comparable to that of Google-Chrome, I remembered that Firefox exists.

And I have one question about it: How does its sync work? Let us say I am connected to my firefox sync account solely on my computer. And then my computer crashes and is unrepairable. Can I just log into my firefox account on another machine and get all my bookmarks back? (like in the case of Google-Chrome)????

Thanks!

Hello fam.

I just downloaded an extension of a particular app. It's expected that the app automatically connects with the browser as I click to join them but it keeps failing. How do I rectify this?

Noticed my phone having terrible battery life, from battery usage you can see that Firefox is highly likely one of the main culprits. I have observed the same over a few days on the last two Firefox builds. It seems that it's not respecting the "Restricted" battery usage in Android (or Android is not restricting it, I have no idea), but you can see today's battery usage linked here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pMByjqq6Q5GigcQu8

Hello.

I recently started using Firefox browser on Android mobile OS, and am having trouble with Korean letter URLs.

On Firefox, unlike Chrome or built-in Samsung internet browser, URLs containing Hangul are displayed ASCII code on every page.

For example, this is how the URL of '모질라 파이어폭스' article on korean wikipedia is displayed.

https://ko.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EB%AA%A8%EC%A7%88%EB%9D%BC_%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%ED%8F%AD%EC%8A%A4

As you can see, it is totally a mess and very uncomfortable when it comes to sharing or modifing an URL.

I tried turning off HTTPS-Only Mode in settings however it didn't work.

My idea is that changing the browser's encoding setting from ASCII to UTF-8 will help, but I can't find any option for it.

Is there any solution or add-on to solve this problem?

Sorry if my English reads awkward. But I believe that you could understand my situation.

Howdy,

I'm trying to lean away from Chrome on my Nexus 7 and use Firefox instead. I'm using Nightly now, which is a nice improvement, but I'm wondering if y'all have done much configuration with your setup.

One specific thing I'm wondering about is how to add DuckDuckGo as a search option.

And are there other addons available besides the ones on the official site?

Cheers!
