That's all there is Dennis

Hi,

Ever since I had to reset my phone's settings to troubleshoot another app, Firefox keeps dumping all of the thumbnails for my tabs seemingly every day now, even if I keep it open and give it unrestricted battery access.

This did not used to happen and is exceedingly frustrating.

I am a Samsung Galsfy a22. See attached image for my software details

As a note, I know this may sound hostile, but 'keep less tabs open' is not a welcome or helpful answer. When I tried to search this, that was the only 'answer' I saw given to some other user who had this issue years ago. As I said, this only happened after my settings got messed up, so I know something is off, as it used to work fine

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I recently encountered an issue where Firefox stopped working properly, so I uninstalled and then reinstalled the browser. After reinstalling, I logged back into my Firefox account, but none of my data (such as bookmarks, saved passwords, history, etc.) has been restored.

It seems like my account is behaving like a brand new one

It seems like my account isn't syncing properly. Could you please help me recover my previous data?

I have a Google Pixel 8a, 2025, and of course Google wants me to use all their products. I want to make Firefox my default search engine. But it's not a choice, rather you have to manually enter the information for Firefox and they require an URL to register Firefox to the phone and be used as the default Browser. But Firefox doesn't have any URL that I can find to use, even on the Mozilla Support forum . Can anyone give me direction on what to put in to make Firefox my primary browser? Thanks! Jim

Unlike Brave, Vivaldi or Chrome, Firefox will consistently reload pages when switching between apps. Filling up forms is a nightmare! This issue exists at least for the last 9 years and hasn't been solved. I have plenty RAM and Cache can be increased 10 fold, I don't care. Use what is available, just stop reloading my forms!

Even in Beta, Unload.on.low.memory and browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand I had to add manually (they probably do nothing anyway)

Best way I found is to use Firefox in a floating window (apparently there are plenty resources for that) while copy-pasting what I need.

I honestly don't have any other complain about this work of art, but recently I installed Brave and Vivaldi and after some testing I will switch to one of them, I can't take it anymore.

I have an quite annoying( disturbing) issue related to your browser. The problem is that Firefox is stuck into Desktop mode.

Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9Fe ( SM-X516BEE). However I've never experienced it on previous versions ( below 120-30 something). My pervious version is: 138.0.2

Not only that all of my serach results are the same as on PC( since Android is LINUX based), bus also that many pages are opened as if they were on PC. But as well that the graphics is completly wierd.

However I have already Deactivated Desctop mode- but however it's still stuck in Desktop mode.

So my vonclution is that Samsung devices( Tablets) make it easy for itself and make it equal to LINUX/ UBUTNU.

So it also sems that all versions published on Google Play= to Desktop( PC/ LINUX). So please get rid of this annoying stuff and publish an regular mobile version.

Hi man, what have you done to firefox, have you lost your minds. Why did you remove the ability to share many at once tabs to clipboard - this was a very good functionality and now you've messed it up? Man, I don't like synchronization, and this option was awesome for me. Bring it back, dude.
