Firefox for Android Community Forum

With the Last version of Firefox android, i have the possibility to download pdf and when i want to open it with drive reader, it gives an error and stay in Firefox.

Die Synchronisation der Firefox Android App funktioniert nicht mehr zuverlässig. Teilweise tagelange Unterbrechungen, obwohl Einstellungen und Verbindung korrekt sind. Abhilfe schafft nur Neuinstallation und/oder Trennung und Neuanmeldung im Account.

In the 2010s, before bigtech algorythms shadowbanned me to dust (online and offline) firefox was great. But after google's spooks (my half-sister but 1) and Silicon Valley algorythms, left to using Samsung phones and the (Google) android OS, using other than their chrome browser is impossible. Which says that such systems, device brands and forprofit bigtech corps are operating illegally, so need to have all their patents, rights, "permissions" and even rights to profit, revoked.

In my opinion....

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

Firstly I've been a Firefox on android user forever & thanks so much for a fab browser all round. Even if it runs slower, for some reason at times than say Chrome on this phone. Please. Hoping there a setting to disable the below total annoyance, not convenience, for just a few of us it seems from my weeks & weeks of looking up. I'm truly amazed most are fine with it & I'm here finally as fed up with searching the web for already answered

So. I do not want, need nor appreciate the new, "convenience", of when I want to add a new bookmark to a folder, now comes with the little pop-up that shows it will be saved to the last folder a bookmark was saved to.

Sure there's an edit function to click to manually choose the folder from the big drop down bookmarks menu. But. If you're not fast enough, like less than 2 secs, it will auto save to the folder u don't want it in.

Then u easily forget what folder that your new bookmark went to. Again, sure you can immediately go to the filled star on the page site, click that, muck around with editing so it lands in the correct folder.... Or other muck arounds.

But this is all just more clicks, supposed to be saving my time? Perhaps it's great for those in a work situ or with 100s of folders Idk.

I did manage to muck around with "Homepage" settings a some weeks ago to somehow disable that autosave or edit popup, to regain the more simple option of choosing my own folder when hitting the add new bookmark star.

Seemed to work for a while. But then after exiting the browser app on my phone, just one random day open Firefox & it defaulted back to this auto save popup. And although as I said I managed to fix it in settings for homepage, I just can't get it right now or no longer an option. Tired but not stupid old brain ha.

The oddest thing is although I manually update Firefox consistent & regularly, the last 2? versions i slacked off. Now this issue began way after the update of the current version I'm using!

If, & I'm hoping it will be a fix, just getting the latest version gives me the option or fix great. Currently on v133.1 i think. Otherwise, disappointed but will likely stick with Firefox still. Thanks kindly for the help or anything if any, anyone.

I need a default search string in order to add Firefox as a search option. Directions on the app advise how to add a search option, but a default search string is required and I haven't been able to figure out what use. https://firefox.com/search is the best I can guess. Any help for an old man is appreciated.

I have a ton of java malware and DNS redirects on my device and it Im trying to remove it but it seems like the abuser is still has some type of device admin still. What's my best options if I really need my device (android) to function for just a while longer sothat I can replace all of the other bricked and malfunctioning equipment that got wave linked with it? I'm not even totally sure the abuser has gone on because some of the software is still not working properly and some has even changed from the developers intended use. Im frustrated can someone give me advie
