For some reason, every time I log in to Gmail and start writing a name in the email column, just after writing 2 characters, Firefox immediately freezes. I've reinstalled, I've cleared all data (browsing history, cookies and cache), I've reset, but the problem still exists. But if I log in with another account, Gmail can be accessed smoothly.

(copied from another post I made elsewhere, i'm desperate for solutions)

Hi! I recently upgraded from my S22 Ultra that had zero problems with connectivity to a Pixel 9 and so far it's been great except for one issue - I can't log into some websites with Firefox

Giffgaff for example asks for human verification every time I load the site and when I try to log in it says there was a connection issue. This doesn't happen on Opera GX or Chrome, but I've compared the settings on Firefox on my S22 to my pixel and they're identical. The issue only happens on my pixel 9.

I've tried common fixes provided by Google searches but nothing has yet worked. I've also disabled all add-ons and reinstalled the app. I REALLY don't want to change browsers for this and hope that someone here has a fix!

App version: 132.0 Usual Add-ons: Ublock Origin, Dark Reader, Google Search Fixer

For a couple months now I haven't been able to open any links to other websites that I click on twitter (in the browser, I don't use their app). I updated firefox a week or two ago and only have uBO and unpaywall extensions running. Disabling and removing them don't help. I've also tried turning off tracking protection entirely and tried with https only mode both on and off. I've attached an image of what I see when I click a link.

I've been having trouble accessing my website, https://www.primepropertyturkey.com/ through Firefox for Android. The site loads fine on other browsers and devices, but on Firefox for Android, it either doesn't load at all or displays an error message. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what might be causing it? Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Missing Openweb discussion functions

After the latest update to firefox on android, the Openweb discussion function is missing from at least 3 websites that work on other browsers.

Thedrive.com Twz.com and Newsweek.com

All the above use Openweb discussion function on their websites but firefox does not show them at all.

I checked using Samsung internet browser and the discussions are visible, unlike firefox.

I use ublock extension along with ghostery and privacy badger, but diisabling them or complete removal does not make the discussions visible.

I have deleted the firefox and reinstalled it after the update but the problem persists.

If I want to see the discussions on the thedrive.com or twz.com, I have to use the Samsung internet browser for that.

Could use a fix so I don't have to jump between two browsers.

Firefox sideloaded to Nvidia Shield - Controller doesn't work! (It works fine on Vivaldi)

Hello All, For some unknown reason, the browsers available on Play Store for Nvidia Shield are crap - so far I've not found any that allow me to easily sync bookmarks etc between Shield/PC/Mobile.

I therefore tested and found Opera and Vivaldi sideloaded to my Nvidia Shield TV Pro both worked perfectly.

I wanted to use test Firefox as I was about to use this as my main preferred PC/mobile browser, but first I wanted to check it all worked OK.

I was able to sideload and set up Firefox, but as soon as I open a webpage the Controller stopped working.

How can this be fixed please?

Please don't suggest a browser that's intended for AndroidTV on the Shield Play Store - they are all crap due to the reasons I mentioned, the controller with Right Joysick acting as mouse pounter works perfectly on Opera and Vivaldi, so I don't understand why this it doesn't work on Firefox.

I hope this can be fixed/resolved as I would like to use Firefox as an alternative.

Thanks and regards!

Firefox Android autofill with external app

I use an external password manager on my Android phone - Nextcloud Passwords. It works with Google Chrome, Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo, and other browsers. However, the main Firefox browser does not allow me to use the autofill feature with this manager app. Here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. On a page with a username/password field, select one of the fields (give it focus)
  2. The soft-keyboard appears and an "Autofill" popup appears (good!)
  3. Pressing on the "Autofill" popup opens my password manager (good)
  4. Selecting the password to fill in the manager app returns me to the page
  5. Another popup should appear with the name of the site password selected in the manager app, and it looks like it does briefly, but another "Autofill" popup appears immediately. No username/password is filled.

This results in an endless loop of pressing the "Autofill" popup, selecting the password in the manager app, then the "Autofill" popup appears again.

System Information: Samsung Galaxy S22 Android 13 Kernel version 5.10.136 Build number TP1A.220624.014.S901U1UEU3CWGI Firefox Android version 117.1.0

Hello, I recently changed my password for my Firefox account and now I was unable to enter my new password to log in. I logged out of my account to see if it would work, but to no avail, and now I am signed out completely with the all my attempts to sign back in resulting in a forever-loading page.

Installing another version of Firefox does not work, as it tries to redirect me to the Google Play Store (which Amazon devices do not support). The method I tried to use is in the following link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-android-nightly. If this is the way to do so, would I have to uninstall my current version of Firefox?

Thank you.

Is there a way to have Firefox respond/be the default for the Google Assistant instead of Chrome?

Are there any other voiced activated assistants that can do this?

Can I use Bixby like Google Assistant, and have these things done.

I would also like all home page shortcuts to open Firefox. even those that were placed there by Chrome.

I'm getting a black screen while trying to view VR videos from Firefox Mobile.

I've tried VR videos from Chrome Mobile and it works fine there. It also works fine on Firefox Desktop.

So, only Firefox Mobile is having issues with VR videos for some reason.
