Firefox for Android Community Forum

Every since the new Android version came out in mid January, it's been annoying to browse.

Sometimes it takes several seconds to open, close, or switch tabs.

Overall it feels sluggish to scroll and view pages.

Using latest version 147.0.4.

Hi, I ve got notified of new update for Firefox, "Read aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader has an update". Does it just add AI voices to T2S in Reeder Mode? I want to know because I have personal dislike for newer AI LLM voices and use of AI in general.

Thank you and best regards

How do I revert the update that was forced onto my that changed the window where I view tabs of different pages? It has completely changed and it's frustrating and I do not understand it. I wanted to go back to the style it was. I am not very versed in technology and changes like this make things unusable for me.

A "dead" vertical space appears at the bottom of the viewport, pushing site navigation and sticky banners (like "Get started") upward. This occurs globally across different websites, not just one.

Last night my bookmarks didnt work suddenly. I tried a lot with no results. While typing internet works. I uninstalled it and installed it again. This morning i realised that most of my boomark have gone. Really headache as i have too many important website.

Heya, I'm having trouble getting my microphone to work in Firefox on android. I'm using a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Android 16, One UI 8) and tried both the regular version of Firefox and Nightly, the latter being my regular one, 'cause the UI is just better on a tablet. The regular one was a fresh install, so the issue shouldn't be corrupt cache or anything like that. I've given the app the Microphone permission in the android settings, it also asks for microphone permissions when using any site that requests it, but when I check site-specific permissions via the lil shield icon, there's no microphone. It's like Firefox thinks I have no mic at all. Not the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed bluetooth headset I'm using, nor the tab's own. When disconnecting the headset, it still won't find the tab's own mic. Any other app works just fine, though, and webcam also works. I tried a few matrix clients, discord web, some webrtc and mic test sites... Seems to be Firefox, not specific sites nor android in general.

Anyone got any clue what might be going on there?

After much searching and guesswork, I've finally worked out that the "cross in a box" icon on the Firefox android search bar is to allow qr codes to be scanned. Maybe you could add a tool-tip for these more obscure icons?

Using FF for android, 148.0.1. How can I return from any page directly to the home page so I can see my collections and choose another site? The home button seems to be gone.

I have a Mozilla Firefox login with hundreds of bookmarks, I've been saving for years. With the recent update, I was logged out. I tried to log back in with my saved password and email. The information I have is correct. The problem lies in the fact that I created that login & pass with a University email. After graduating,the ending of the email address was changed to @alumni.edu sort of thing. So now it's trying to send me a security code to login and I cannot receive it because of this change to the email address, thus I cannot get logged back into my firefox to retrieve my bookmarks. Please help.

Hello !

Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

This is a problem with Firefox for Android security policies. Because everything works as expected

• in Firefox Desktop Linux
• Chrome for Android
• pasting text instead of an image in Firefox for Android.

I'm trying to paste images in my own web app, in my own Android phone.

• I get the "onpaste" event and clipboardData field as described in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/paste_event.
• HOWEVER ONLY in Firefox for Android, and only when I paste an image, both the "items" and "files" lists in the clipboardData field are empty, with length=0.
• The app is served from an httpS site with a certificate Firefox for Android recognizes as valid.

I didn't find any way to enable clipboard access from the Settings UI for my own site.

It would be sad if Firefox ends up pushing users to Chrome because building our own apps gets more difficult in Firefox than Google's walled garden :'(

Moin. Copy fast URL ?? Tapping address bar marks all of the www by default. OK. But only long pressing calls the context menu for copying etc. This is not very useable for me. Too often the marked range changes or gets unmarked.

What about a default context dropout menue by marked text? like in Brave etc.
