I can't edit Bookmarks on Android anymore to move bookmarks to subfolders of Bookmarks that were previously created. This is a recent issue. Android 16, Pixel 10 Pro. I have previously created a number of subfolders of the Bookmarks folder. I used to be able to move bookmarks easily with the edit option to a subfolder. Now the carrot next to the Bookmarks folder does not expand. Restarted phone, un/reinstalled Firefox. I can edit my bookmarks in Firefox in Windows 11, and now this is my only way to move bookmarks so that they are in a subfolder on my phone. I have to move them on my laptop. I mainly browse on my phone, so this is very inconvenient, and not a good development from my point of view. Thanks for your help!

Ever since the new update I can't save to any of the bookmark folders on my phone anymore. When I click on bookmark now all I get is the options to save in the bookmark menu, the toolbar, other bookmarks or create a new folder. But all the other bookmark folders that I have I can no longer save to them it no longer gives me the options.

Even created a new folder to see if that would work, but I still can't access it when I bring up the bookmark menu so I was wondering if there's any workaround or a fix to the solution?

On some websites Firefox blocks entry of texts in text fields manifested in 2 ways: keyboard in Android pops but no text is entered when typing, or no keyboard pops. The tried refreshing pages, switching to desktop mode, clearing browsing data nothing works. Attempting to report this to a site:https://ambientweather.net. Ultimately I had to download and install a different browser to access the site. I was already logged into the site and other field changes were correctly implemented. On pages with 2 search fields, one site-wide and one in my search context, both fields failed When switching to desktop version, I noticed a typical cookie notice which I hoped was taking the focus away from the other fields but closing that notice did not resolve the problem.

While I assume a design implementation error by sites, this may be related to the ongoing memory conflicts one experiences when doing multiple searches on heavy video sites. As with the old Firefox Android, Firefox slows down and can't seem to dump all it's cache, apparently, to handle more input. in those cases a dump of most browsing data generally clears the problem, but didn't help here. I suspect an underlying Firefox cause because I've seen this over several random sites but with no clear pattern. I just revisited the site above and it works as designed now.

Consider this the equivalent to trying to use a PC without a keyboard, it's really a catastrophic fail.

Not all pwa enabled websites can install as pwa on Firefox Android!

Although Firefox for Android has support for PWA websites in general,I see that it doesn't detect all pwa websites and creates a simple shortcut instead! For example go to mytuner-radio.com and try to install it as a Pwa, it just creates a shortcut!

If you try this on other browsers like Vivaldi for Android, it installs it as an app, without the need to open the whole browser alongside all the tabs,every time you tap on its icon !

Please fix this and make all sites that support pwa detectable !

I have an issue in that, upon pressing the three-dot menu button on mobile, the browser menu is suddenly popping up from the bottom of the screen instead of sliding in from the side like it's supposed to, as well as what used to be a nice and neat list of options now being a cluster of hard-to-make-out icons and buttons. I didn't change anything in the settings to make it do this (I very specifically selected the "top" display option when I first downloaded Firefox months ago and haven't touched it since), and I've already checked reddit to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so, how to return my menu's behavior and appearance to normal (no luck).

I unfortunately have no images of what my menu is supposed to look like as it never occurred to me something like this could happen, but I can at least provide a screenshot of the ugly way it looks now (notice the little bar at the top of it that suggests I'd be able to "drag" it back to its correct placement? Yeah, it doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold my finger on it.) PLEASE tell me what can be done to undo this awful change and return my menu to normal!

Sort button no longer sorts when adding bookmarks on Android

When adding a bookmark on Android, I used to be able to sort bookmark order within folders by custom sort, A-Z, and age. Recently (as of 148.0 (Build #2016144279)), the folder menu when adding a bookmark is now different, but the sort options no longer work.

I'm making a post here before making one on Mozilla Connect, in the hopes this bug can be passed on to a developer.

I noticed the UI changed for Firefox for Android and part of that change is there's a slight delay/transition when opening menus or navigating between settings.

May I ask for a toggle that disables the transition so menus open immediately, like the Extensions and More dropdowns do? It would feel intuitive for it to be in the Customize options.

Right now I'm on FFfA 148.0 (Build #2016144279), not sure which version I was on before. It's not the biggest issue but does add a bit of friction to the user experience, I've got muscle memory for being able to refresh faster than I can now.

The new UI's been great otherwise!
