Firefox for Android Support Forum

How can I transfer my bookmarksto Chrome IN THE SAME order as I have them in my Firefox? I know how to transfer them, but I need them in the same order as I have them in Firefox

I dont know how to get back to my original question. There was information i missed.

I said firfox would not auto login, but although i used ip addresses i didnt say that the auto login works on normal internet sites.

So to clarify, the problem started a while ago now, but badically i have 4 network drives, the username and password is saved for the login to those 4 drives.

Normally i eould click a link 192.168.X.X and the admin login page loads

On the android phone it shows nothing, both boxes are blank, but on the desktop the user name is filled in, and a drop down list shows just one password, i select it and login.

So the auto login is only failing on the local network login page, i cant see anything on the android phone except the password link button that takes me to the whole list of passwords, but like i said if i use my thumb to unlock and select the correct password it returns back to login page blank.

Ive just loaded desktop firefox and there is a warning that "connection not secure"

I dont see that warning on my android, so im guessing that the full web address to my network drive is https://192.168.x.x

So im guessing passwords are not available for secured sites?

It might be the WD NAS that has changed something, because i never had this problem on the phone or disktop, it was the phone im using mostly, in fact i can no longer use the phone this way, i gave up typing in usernames and passwords a long time ago.

So right now its quicker to turn on the laptop and access the 4 network drives.

So sorry if my information made you suspect something else. I know nothing about the change WD has done, i do know it use to put up a long code for the address, but thats gone now and in both desktop and android, it hides tge http or https so im never going to know whats going on.

So i was using android, i would select a bookmark to WD network drive and it use to put in all the information, all i did was click the login button .

So that stopped working, if i visit say ebay.co.uk i get automatically logged in, or if im asked then the correct details is already put in the boxes and i just clickogin.

So only my local network drives, and i do remember them updating the firmwear several times, during that time many strange things happend, for example the ip address was changed to a long length mix of numbers and letters, but they fixed that now.

Shame i cant upload a photo, i could link to one on the net?

Can you put this on the end of my last post as a reply? I coukd not find a way of updating

Thanks

Oh i just spotted add images, let me post this first as i dont want to loose it all

I have 3 separate sets of User IDs w. respective PWs email accounts. After I login to 1st ID, say User-1 & PW-1, --> Enter, the Firefox prompts: "Don't Update" ... "Update" options. Let's say I click --> "Update" option and later log off.

Next I login to 2nd ID, say User-2 & PW-2 --> Enter, again I get same two prompts "Don't Update" ... "Update". Then on it gets interesting .... ....

• Case 1:- If I click --> "Don't Update," ... later log off. Next when I try login on using either of IDs, User-1 or User-2, Firefox will auto fill in --> PW-1 ... ... (bcoz I had opted --> "Don't Update").
• Case 2:- Alternatively if I click --> "Update" and later log off. Next when I try login on using either of IDs, User-1 or User-2, Firefox will auto fill --> PW-2 (bcoz now I had opted --> Update" and therefore both IDs got inherited w. PW-2).

The same scenario is enacted if I login to 3rd ID --> User-3. Again depending upon what I click on "Don't Update" / "Update."

Eventually all 3 IDs would inherit just one of the three PWs. This happens whether the Firefox browser is on Mobile or Desktop mode. Lastly on other websites other than att.com login page, I get Save option after entering the PW.

For sometime now I have been unable to access my Bell email on Firefox except if I use private browsing and then it allows me to get to my login and by default allows me to enter my login and password. But if I don't use privacy browsing mode, I cannot get to my email. This is on my android Samsung phone btw. Bell tells me it's a browser issue and that I'm to contact Firefox or switch to Chrome or Edge, but I'd rather do it through Firefox. Can anyone assist as to how I can correct this issue?

Ive come back to firefox for android after a year of using other browser,bbut there is no setting i can find.

1, i visit a login page The page has the username but the password field is blank.

2, i select the link at bottom tbat says passwords.

3, a list pops up, and one of the listed items is to pick a saved password.

4, i pick the saved password, then all the urls are in the background while a thumprint security check is showing.

5, i put my thumb on the screen and now it lets me see all the saved passwords.

6, i select the correct url whos password is the right one.

7, it returns back to the original login page BLANK

It seams to me auto fill is switched on, but its not working, or the thumbnail security is blacking the transfer.

So ive deleted the url and password saved, there was only one, then ive gone to the login page and typed in the username and password, enter. Firefox asks if i wish to save the logon details, i do

But each time i go to the login page the password is blank?

I should add the url is a link to my network drives, so its an ip address like 192.168.x.xx

So ehy is android firefox no longer inserting the details, its the latest version, ive also cleared cache both, and it losds firefox as if its the first time i ran it. I set everything up to what i want, auto login is on.

I sign in with my account and sync brings back my desktop bookmarks saved logins etc.

Still there is only one url saved, ive seen this happen sometimes when thete is 2 saved logins for same url, but right now there is only one saved bookmark, and only one saved user name and password.

Anything i can do, or back to the browser i was using. Ive used the new android fitefox ever since it updated to the new one, most of the time it sat ln my phone unused, so i made sure jt had no update.

Sorry this is long, but ill be told to make sure the suto fill or auto login is on. Ive been through sll its settings.

Thanks

When you clear browsing history why does it only clear the web site and not Cache & Cookies? I used to use Chrome, when you clear browsing history you also have the option to clear cache & cookies. Why doesn't FireFox do this? Also how do you find site ti clear cookies & Cache Thanks

I've been trying to install .xpi files for Firefox on Android 12 with little success. Every file manager I've tried doesn't give me the option to open .xpi files with Firefox and my device isn't rooted so I can't access the full file system.

Are there any articles/suggestions? I've always wanted extensions on mobile but never been able to install.

I was changing my passcode to make it stronger and accidentally hit the button before I was through. I knowthe code had the #'s 6869 in it,but I've tried every combination I can think it might have been, but no luck. Can you please help me. Thanks, Bill Morgan

Hello,

Firefox began to act very slow on my Pixel phone. I have worked on the issue the last two days. I called Norton and ran my Norton scanner several times; I am told my phone is using toouch memory from Norton yet I have no virus. I disabled Google and the phone is better. There is a problem with the Google update that Google is either not acknowledging or does not know how to fix. I re-installed Firefox. Now I can go to the Yahoo.com website. When I click to login into Yahoo mail the webpage crashes and reads that Mozilla cannot open this page. I have never had this problem before. I am able to open the login page using the Chrome browser. I wonder if there is a default security setting from when I re-installed Firefox that I should deselect? I seem to be able to use all other parts of Firefox. I clicked on the button to send Mozilla the crash reports information. Thank you for helping me.

Trying to sync Android firefox app with laptop. Firefox Android app installed. Check. Open android settings, turn on sync. Check. QR code on laptop screen. Check. Touch "scan" button at lower frame of Firefox

    Android app, scan code on laptop. Check.

Error message: "Did you use the system camera? You must pair from within a Firefox app." No, I did not use system camera. Yes, I did activate it from the firefox app/scan button - REPEATEDLY. Somehow, firefox does not recognize it's own activation of my system camera. Please help, I need the bookmarks off my phone and onto laptop. Thank you.
