Firefox for Android Support Forum

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

The default font in Firefox Android is Roboto, and I want to change the default font to the system default font or a font I downloaded locally. I can't find any settings in Firefox Android regarding font settings. about:config doesn't seem to work on Android. How do I change the default font in Firefox Android, like in Firefox Windows?

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.

Version info 120.0.1 (Build #2015988378), a61decd90e+ GV: 120.0.1-20231127143053 AS: 120.0.1

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!

I can't seem to find a way to pin bookmark tiles on the homepage (new tab). I also want to stop recently visited site tiles from appearing there if possible. Homepage and Customize in Settings don't seem to have any options for that now. Android 14, Firefox 120.0.1, Pixel 7a phone.

On Firefox 120.0.1 when I clic a whatsapp link, for example https://wa.me/########## where # is the number, it opens the webpage and has the message Whatsapp is not installed. Opening the same link with Desktop Site enabled, works fine. The behavior is the same using api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=##########

Open links on app setting is enabled to always and other app links are working ok.

I'm using Whatsapp Business app on Android 13 Xiaomi Miui 14 Phone

On Chrome for Android and Edge for Android it works ok
