Firefox for Android Support Forum

Just like many people here and in the Play Store reviews, the Firefox app stopped working for me since about a week. When I type something in the search bar or when I open a link from an external app, the page does not load and stays blank. Sending links from another device also does not work.

Does anyone know if developpers are aware of the issue ? I could not find an entry on bugzilla.

About firefox screenshot below. My phone is running on Android 12.

Copy of a reply I posted in someone's question about the same issue:

Same problem for me.

I first had this issue with 114.

After updating to 114.1.1, the issue was fixed for a few hours but came back.

Updating 114.2.0 didn't change anything...

On my new Samsung S21 cellphone many (but not all) websites shows as if "Desktop site=on" radiobutton was selected in the Firefox for Android settings, even if it isn't. This happens for e.g. "di.se" and "expressen.se". But on my old Samsung S10e these websites still works fine (I have the latest Firefox version 94.1.2 installed on both cellphones).

I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox on the S21 but that didn't fix the problem. (It works fine with Chrome on both cellphones, so it's probably not a website issue).

From version 110 and up, there are websites where the autofill no longer works. The option to select your saved users & PWs comes up but upon selecting one, nothing gets filled. On other websites the autofill works as intended. Going to the real debrid website is the one I can accurately reproduce the issues on. With version 109 and below, the autofill works. Is there a proper work around besides having to go into the settings, finding out the password and inputting it manually?

I had a few sites send me notifications for interesting articles with Chrome. Just like any app I would get a notification on my phone for the app event, in this case an article on that site, so if I clicked it it'd take me to Chrome and directly to that site and the article. After switching to Firefox I went to those sites and signed up for notifications. But when I get the notification and click it all it does is open Firefox. It never takes me to any of the corresponding sites or the articles. It's very frustrating.

When I input text into a search bar at some site I have a bug. Firefox misses some letters and I must always correct the inputted text. This problem happens only at Firefox. Chrome and Opera are all right. I checked many times. Please help me. My device is Xiaomi redmi note 9 pro.

Recently my Google pixel phone got the Android 12 update. Since then I'm having issues with Firefox loading websites like Walmart, Sams club, Lowes. It seems to be serving the desktop versions and it is hard to navigate. The toggle switch for "Desktop Site" is off, so not sure why it is showing the desktop site. The attached images show how Walmart site shows in Chrome and Firefox. My firefox version is 94.1.2. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Websites are not loading, search is not working. The app is not working at all. Tried closing and reopening FF, cleared cache, rebooting phone and few other settings but nothing helped. Tried googling around the problem and most of the users are also facing same issue. It might be fixed by reinstalling the app but I CANNOT do that because my site data is important and I don't see any way to backup site data to my PC. Please help with the issue without losing FF app data.

Firefox is failing to display text properly on pages. Paragraphs are getting whited out at seemingly random. If I zoom or highlight the missing part I can usually get it to show up.

I'm using the android mobile version.

I've tried: Clearing the cache Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox Deleting all add ons Restarting my device Changing font display sizes in Firefox and on my device

It's only Firefox, pages display properly when I try using a different browser. This has been an ongoing problem but its suddenly effecting huge chunks of text on all websites where previously it would only block a word or two on some websites.

(It was even effecting text while trying to type this ticket which is super annoying. )

Hi,

On some sites Firefox will not play the embedded videos. For example embedded screencast recordings like those used by employee time management platforms eg time doctor. Not sure of the format maybe webm

Recently discovered a white bar that appears to the right side of a video playing or at the bottom. This bar use to be black, now it's white. As if video is not entirely going full screen.

Hi,

I'm having an issue logging into trakt.tv on Firefox android. I can login on desktop or on different browsers on mobile.

So far I have tried clearing the Firefox cache, all browsing history (cookies etc) and disabling my addons to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I got error message "download failed" when download image from pixiv.net using Firefox 105.1.0 and Firefox Nightly 107.0a1 but I can download from Brave android 105 and Firefox PC and Firefox Developer Edition. I tried change from wifi to cellular, disable extention, clear cookies, change protection from enhance to normal, update my phone os, allow files access but still can't fix the problem. I would appriciate if there's some ways to fix this, please help me.

I frequently attempt to add shortcuts to web pages to my home screen, but I find that the "Add to home screen" option is not always available. I'd appreciated to insight into that.

If that is the case, I attempt to choose "Add to shortcuts" if it is a present, but I have no idea where to go from there to access the shortcut, since it does not appear on my home page. My only clue Is that I notice it has a "pinned" icon associated with it, so maybe there is a repository containing theses shortcuts? I looked for something related to that but no luck.

Why can't you sync your Collections between different devices? I have a lot of web addresses saved on my other devices but I can't seem to "move" my saved Collections to my current device?

Starting this morning I have been blocked from all Reddit pages. There's no error message, just the one word “Blocked" in the upper left corner.

I've"quit" the browser and reopened, did not fix the problem. Turning off Tracking and U-origin Ad Block also didn't help.

Curiously I can still access Reddit using my tablet, which is running the same latest build of Firefox and using the same wifi network.

I've sporadically experienced being unable to access other mainstream websites, though I can't remember which ones right now.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Firefox rejects ALL service requests. Left on address line is a "human being symbol" with red backslash bar over it. How to recover?

(When problem appeared I have not touched any settings. Phone power off/on does not help.)
