Whenever i switch to other apps even for short period of time Firefox seems to reload or scroll up to top of the pages even though i have plenty of free ram and FF is excluded from battery saver.

Is it how FF works for everyone or is there some settings to make it keep tabs state intact when you put FF to background? Miui 14 Latest FF

Just updated to latest version of Firefox for Android (ver 113). When I try to watch a YouTube video in full screen, the app suddenly closes, as if I pressed the home button (note: I say "close" rather than "crash" because when I reopen it, all the pages are still loaded). This doesn't happen every time, but it is annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Dear support team,

I am experiencing a problem with one specific website, zerohedge.com. Whenever I use the back button to return from an article to the home page, the page appears completely blank, and I am forced to refresh it every time. This is happening on the Android version of Firefox, version 111.1.1 (Build #2015941331) with NoScript and PrivacyBadger add-ons installed.

I have not made any changes to the settings, and this problem has only started occurring about a week ago. I have never observed this behavior before.

Whenever I start Firefox Android and go to a YouTube video. Autoplay is enabled by default. I always have to hit the disable autoplay to turn it off. Autoplay set to block audio and video by default in the site permissions. I tried installing the "YouTube high definition" addon which is supposed to allow you to pause autoplay but that doesn't work either. This occurs on both my phone and tablet.

Any suggestions?

All sorts of video on my Firefox Android is unable to play, as in they load indefinitely, only show the initial frame and never play. Nothing happens when I tap the play button. The progress bar on videos does move, so it's likely not a connection issue. It's not only on YouTube, any video and stream on any website has the same issue. I have enabled autoplay, deleted cookies, disabled add-ons but nothing helps.

In the last couple of days I noticed that if I open Firefox on my Android phone and let's say open up a couple of new tabs, leave them there and close the app the next time I open up the app randomly some of the newly opened tabs disappear (they are there in the history as visited but the tab isn't open). Also in if I let's say use a tab that already have been open and use it to browse some website when I reopen the app the webpage loaded sometimes doesn't load the last visited site but one that was visited before that one (but still the actual site is in the history). For example let's say I open a tab and I go to site 1, then site 2, then site 3, close and reopen the app the tab I last used could randomly either be missing, instead of site 3 actually load site 1/2 or with equal chance actual work and load site 3 where I left off.

This is a person using a Samsung Fold 2 mobile phone. When using Firefox Android, there are times when the keyboard stops working. In that case, it usually works fine when I close firefox and then open it again. It's hard to turn it on and off every time. I don't know why, but it seems to happen often when I press the search bar to search in the Google search bar. If the Android keyboard appears slower than usual when you press the search bar, it becomes 100% dead and no chatting occurs even if you press it. When it is stuck, nothing is typed in the same way even if you press a new tab in Firefox and try to write on another page. This is a symptom that has been going on for more than a year already, and since a certain patch, the same symptoms have continued to appear, but they are still not fixed. Other browsers don't seem to have this symptom, so I'm posting a question like this to see if there's a solution to Firefox's problem.

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android. On certain websites (e.g., Yahoo News, Calscape.org, Google search results--with Goggle Search Fixer add-on enabled), I can scroll down the page without issue, but scrolling slowly back up toward the top of the page with downward drags of my finger is only responsive half of the time. That is, I can only scroll back up with every-other downward swipe/drag of my finger. This odd behavior does not happen with other mobile browsers (I'm on Android 13 and using a Galaxy A53 5G). Any suggestions?

When I click on “see more’’ in comments section of an online post, the post does not expand. But when I click on ‘’reply’’ or ‘’Show more replies’’, the online post expands. See uploaded image. Note that when I use the desktop site version of the Firefox, the problem does not exist.

Is this an issue within Firefox? Could you share your fix? Thank you….
