The issue is, whether I am searching via the address bar or using the search bar while using google (my main search engine) the app seems to be glitch ingredient when I hit enter. Most of the time now, I be pushed back to the previous page or the page before that and the search terms I entered into either field has been deleted. This is probably not a big deal and a minor inconvenience for some. But for me this is a problem because I have adhd and I have literally forgotten what I was trying to search because I was distracted by the information that shows up because the app pushes me back to a previous page.

At first this started about 2 weeks ago but only happened once or twice. Now, the frequency of this occurring is well over 2/3rds of the time. I explained this in a Google play review but it seems that you just have a standard auto reply there.

I will try a different search engine for the time being but I feel that it's more of an app problem than a search engine problem because if I just search in a new tab with no history, the tab seems to want to go to almost previous page but the search field just deletes what I am searching for and acts as if nothing has been done.

Please fix this issue. Besides being annoying, it's very difficult to keep tract of what i am trying to search for.

Thank you

Firefox Sync not working – Bookmarks from Android not syncing to other devices

I'm an experienced Firefox user who has already tried multiple troubleshooting steps. I need concrete support for this specific problem.

PROBLEM SUMMARY: I have ~1,625 bookmarks on my Android tablet (Device D). These bookmarks are NOT syncing to my other devices (Windows 11 + 2x Android). All other devices remain empty – no bookmarks available.

DEVICE SETUP: - Device A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (new profile "CleanSync") - Device B: Android phone, Firefox - Device C: Android phone, Firefox - Device D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (SOURCE of bookmarks!)

SYNC ACCOUNT: - Email: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Newly created, old accounts deleted) - All 4 devices signed in + Sync enabled - Sync settings: "Bookmarks" CHECKED ✓ on all

WHAT I'VE TRIED: 1. Cleared Firefox cache on all devices (A/B/C/D) 2. Cleared Firefox data on Android B/C 3. Deleted old Sync accounts server-side (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Created new account + added devices sequentially 5. WAITED: 2+ hours → No change

SYMPTOM: - Device D: 1,625 bookmarks LOCAL ✓ - Device A/B/C: 0 bookmarks (completely empty) ✗ - Sync status A/B/C: Shows "Sync enabled" + last sync X min ago - → But bookmarks NOT arriving

SUSPECTED CAUSE: Bookmarks from Device D not uploading to Mozilla server → other devices can't sync

LOGS AVAILABLE: - Device A: `about:sync-log` (can provide screenshots) - All devices: Sync settings screenshots

TWO QUESTIONS: 1. Diagnosis: What can I test to debug why bookmarks from Android D are not syncing? (Please NO FAQ links – I need individual instructions for this specific problem.)

2. Fallback option: Is there a way to backup/export the 1,625 bookmarks from Android D WITHOUT Sync (file, SQL export, cloud backup)? I could then manually import to other devices.

Thanx so much in advance! 🙏

Ich bin langjähriger Firefox-Nutzer und habe bereits mehrere Troubleshooting-Schritte durchgeführt. Trotzdem benötige ich konkrete Unterstützung für dieses spezifische Problem.

PROBLEM KURZ: Ich habe ~1.625 Lesezeichen auf meinem Android-Tablet (Gerät D). Diese Lesezeichen syncen NICHT zu meinen anderen Geräten (Windows 11 + 2x Android). Alle anderen Geräte bleiben leer – keine Lesezeichen vorhanden.

GERÄTE-SETUP: - Gerät A: Huawei Notebook, Windows 11, Firefox (neues Profil „CleanSync") - Gerät B: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät C: Android-Handy, Firefox - Gerät D: Samsung Tablet SM-X200, Android 14, Firefox (QUELLE der Lesezeichen!)

SYNC-KONTO: - E-Mail: deviation@nickname.berlin.de (Neu erstellt, alte Kontos gelöscht) - Alle 4 Geräte angemeldet + Sync aktiviert - Sync-Einstellungen: „Lesezeichen" ist überall CHECKED ✓

WAS ICH SCHON VERSUCHT HABE: 1. Firefox-Cache auf allen Geräten gelöscht (A/B/C/D) 2. Firefox-Daten auf Android B/C geleert 3. Alte Sync-Kontos server-seitig gelöscht (via accounts.firefox.com) 4. Neues Konto erstellt + sukzessiv alle Geräte angemeldet 5. WARTEN: 2+ Stunden gewartet → Keine Änderung

SYMPTOM: - Gerät D: 1.625 Lesezeichen LOKAL sichtbar ✓ - Gerät A/B/C: 0 Lesezeichen (komplett leer) ✗ - Sync-Status A/B/C: Zeigt „Sync enabled" + letzte Sync vor X Min - → Aber Lesezeichen kommen NICHT an

VERMUTUNG: Lesezeichen von Gerät D laden NICHT auf Mozilla-Server → andere Geräte können nicht syncen

LOGS VERFÜGBAR: - Gerät A: `about:sync-log` (kann Screenshots bereitstellen) - Alle Geräte: Sync-Einstellungen-Screenshots

ZWEI FRAGEN: 1. Diagnose: Was kann ich konkret testen, um zu debuggen, warum Lesezeichen von Android D nicht syncen? (Bitte KEINE Verweise auf FAQ – ich benötige individuelle Anweisungen für dieses spezifische Problem.)

2. Fallback-Option: Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die 1.625 Lesezeichen von Android D OHNE Sync zu sichern/exportieren (z. B. Datei, SQL-Export, Cloud-Backup)? Ich könnte sie dann manuell auf die anderen Geräte importieren.

Danke im Voraus! 🙏

I'm unable to share a link to a webpage via WhatsApp.

Triple dots > Share > select WhatsApp Receive error "Can't send empty message"

Copying to clipboard does work. Sharing with other apps (e.g., Bluesky or Element) does work.

I rely on Firefox's auto-fill functionality, so turning it off is not an option for me. Frequently, on secure sites where I am registering or making a purchase, and after I have already filled the form data saved, the fill form banner at the bottom of page remains, blocking the form 'Submit', 'Continue', 'Next', etc. It doesn't happen all the time, so assume this has to do with how the form-fill control interacts with page coding. Is there a workaround for this that does not involve turning auto-fill off?

I downloaded Firefox on my android because I wanted to use Character.AI the same way with the Chatbot Manager extension just as I could do on my PC, the C.AI website works, but all the site elements are not sized/positioned as they are supposed to, as I have seen on chrome. Please try to fix it as soon as possible.


And also, could you confirm if my Chatbot Manager which operates as another page in my browser control C.AI which is another separate page? If not, please try to implement that too.

Hello, I'd really like to see the character input appear when I hold down the period key instead of entering a domain. This is what usually happens in the normal search bar. This is very inconvenient.

Moreover, this is not a problem with Android 13 or Google Keyboard, but rather a feature of the browser.

I kindly ask the developers to add the ability to change this so that it would be convenient to use the search directly from the address bar.
