I was looking for the settings button on the Firefox Android app but cannot find it in its usual place in the meatball menu in the bottom right (I have the search/tabs bar set at the bottom of the screen). Please see attached screenshot. Could you please let me know where the settings button has been moved to? I can't find it by myself, and as this seems to be a relatively recent change I can't find anything online/in the FAQ about where it might have gone. Thank you! :)

I've recently picked up a new Pixel phone with Android 14 to replace my aging Samsung, and I'm having issues with the account login on Firefox. On my old device, attempting to use a Google service would offer the option to login using one of my device accounts. On my new device however, it just asks for a password. I'm not really sure what could have changed here other than maybe something related to Android versions but there's no setting I can find to fix this. I know it's a small issue but it is a nuisance and I would much prefer using the Android account service rather than having to manually log in with a password every time my session expires. Is there any way to fix this?

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.


And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

changing camera and microphone access settings in Firefox

In my phone's notifications, I have one that says "Camera Is On in Firefox". I can't get it to close. I want to revoke permissions/access to my camera and microphone in Firefox's browser. After searching through my settings, and searching online, I have found no answers. I WANT MY CAMERA OFF.

I have an Android, using version 118.2.0.

And it's RIDICULOUS that I have to "create an account" to even ASK a question to SUPPORT! Your "Help" section frankly is useless. No "help" at all.

I've received an email about the change from Firefox account to Mozilla account. But it came to an email address that I removed from my Firefox account months ago, and not to either the primary or the secondary email addresses that are on the account now. How come?

When I am watching videos in the firefox app, about 70 percent of the time I go fullscreen to watch the video, it will close the app. Not crash, but leave, like I'm hitting the home button. This has been going on for a long time now. Last time I asked for assistance I got "Have you tried closing your other tabs?". I have 12 tabs open. I never have this issue with any other browser. I have 30 tabs open in chrome, with no issues.

I'm a regular user of community.signalusers.org, which is a community forum for users of the Signal messaging platform. The website uses the open-source Discourse application to host the community forum.

Often, however, Firefox fails to load the website. The webpage begins to load, but doesn't move beyond the page you see in the screenshot.

I suspect this has to do with Discourse because another website that uses it (0x00sec.org) also doesn't load.

Both these websites load just fine on Google Chrome. I have attached Screenshots of both. Not sure if there any debug logs or such that I can attach that might be useful here.

I'm accessing the websites from a OnePlus 6T running Android 11. I'm running the latest Firefox beta. This issue is also not 100% reproducible, unfortunately, so it's that much more annoying. It occurs seemingly randomly, and then seems to fix itself at some point, only to break again.

Happy to provide more info, if needed.

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

284caa59-49ff-4df4-ae44-17afa3c49fa4 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 16 byte allocation with 1502304 free bytes and 1467KB until OOM, target footprint 268435456, growth limit 268435456; giving up on allocation because <1% of heap free after GC.


java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 16 byte allocation with 1502304 free bytes and 1467KB until OOM, target footprint 268435456, growth limit 268435456; giving up on allocation because <1% of heap free after GC. at com.android.internal.inputmethod.InputConnectionCommandHeader$1.createFromParcel(InputConnectionCommandHeader.java:55) at com.android.internal.inputmethod.InputConnectionCommandHeader$1.createFromParcel(InputConnectionCommandHeader.java:51) at android.os.Parcel.readTypedObject(Parcel.java:4037) at com.android.internal.inputmethod.IRemoteInputConnection$Stub.onTransact(IRemoteInputConnection.java:445) at android.os.Binder.execTransactInternal(Binder.java:1380) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:1311)

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.
