Firefox for Android Community Forum

I need to build firefox android with an extension installed. I'm trying for ublock origin now but I'll use my own extension later. I do not plan to submit this or whatever,it'll be local. How can I do it?

Hello, I am having an issue when playing videos on youtube or youtube music on firefox (android). While I can unpause the video / music with the tab being in the background (different tab or even app is focused or even with locked screen), for some reason whenever I am currently focused on the youtube tab and leave it (lock screen, move to different tab or minimize the app to go to home screen/different app) the video will pause and I will need to unpause it again. Does anybody have a solution for this?

Hi, how can I open a local html file with firefox on android 14?

It's like firefox no longer registers itself as a valid program/association to open html files.

Since the 129.0 update, Youtube videos on Firefox for Android are played extremely zoomed in, which makes it impossible to see the entire video image. Only the upper left corner is shown. If I increase the quality of the video, I can see a bigger portion of it, but still not the entire video. Audio works fine. This issue is not present in Chrome or Opera. I use a Huawei P20 Pro with Android 10, and I suspect that this issue is related to Huawei because other Huawei users are reporting it (on Reddit, for instance). I've tried disabling add-ons and deleting app data, but it didn't work. Also updating to 129.0.2 didn't fix the issue.

Could you please look into it?

Thank you

Greetings. I am seeking assistance with transferring my existing data to my new Firefox account on my Samsung Android phone. I currently have data stored on my laptop as well as on my Samsung Android device. It includes bookmarks, saved passwords, and potentially browsing history. However, I am unclear on how to achieve this transfer properly. I would appreciate any detailed instructions or guidance you could provide, ensuring that I can successfully access all my important data on my new Firefox account. Thank you for your assistance! Best regards, Don

Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.

Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

130.0 (Build #2016041319), hg-b73ccdf1f861+ GV: 130.0-20240829075237 AS: 130.0

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

In the past you could send links by long-pressing them and using the context menu to send them to other devices(not the android "share" option)

Why was this removed and more importantly: how do I get it back?
