प्रिय Mozilla Firefox टीम,

मैं एक Android उपयोगकर्ता हूं जो Firefox ब्राउज़र का उपयोग करता हूं। मैं एक सोशल मीडिया उपयोगकर्ता भी हूं और एक डिजिटल क्रिएटर भी हूं। मैं Firefox ब्राउज़र के साथ अपने सोशल मीडिया और डिजिटल क्रिएशन कार्यों को प्रबंधित करने के लिए Add-on की कमी से निराश हूं।

मैं अनुरोध करता हूं कि आप Android के लिए सोशल मीडिया और डिजिटल क्रिएटर के लिए Add-on विकसित करें। यह Add-on उपयोगकर्ताओं को अपने सोशल मीडिया और डिजिटल क्रिएशन कार्यों को अधिक कुशलता से और आसानी से प्रबंधित करने में मदद करेगा।

यहां कुछ विशिष्ट Add-on हैं जिनकी मैं आवश्यकता महसूस करता हूं:

   सोशल मीडिया प्रबंधन Add-on: यह Add-on उपयोगकर्ताओं को अपने सभी सोशल मीडिया खातों को एक ही स्थान से प्रबंधित करने की अनुमति देगा। इसमें पोस्टिंग, कमेंटिंग, और मैसेजिंग जैसी सुविधाएं शामिल होंगी।
   डिजिटल क्रिएटर टूल्स Add-on: यह Add-on उपयोगकर्ताओं को अपने डिजिटल क्रिएशन कार्यों को प्रबंधित करने के लिए आवश्यक सभी टूल प्रदान करेगा। इसमें वीडियो संपादन, फोटोग्राफी, और वेब डिज़ाइन जैसी सुविधाएं शामिल होंगी।

मैं विश्वास करता हूं कि ये Add-on Android के लिए Firefox ब्राउज़र को और अधिक शक्तिशाली और उपयोगी बनाएंगे। मैं आपसे अनुरोध करता हूं कि इन Add-on पर विचार करें और उन्हें जल्द से जल्द विकसित करें।

धन्यवाद,

When a message box appears in portrait mode, it is centered off the screen as if it isn't scale properly. As a result, you cannot click "accept" or "cancel" without rotating the device to be in landscape mode.

Hi,

I'm looking for a trick to prevent Firefox mobile to force screen orientation to landscape mode when playing a video in fullscreen mode.

This is an old complaint (see this 2018 bug) but at the time there was a key in about:config to change the behavior ("media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation").

Since "media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation" is now useless (according to this bug) I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance if you have any.

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.

This is driving me insane. On mobile data (3,4,5g) Firefox will not open any websites, it just sits with a white page until eventually I get "connection reset". Every other browser on the device works fine though, and Firefox can access sites when on WiFi.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the main app *and* installed focus,beta and nightly versions,all have the same problems. Permissions on mobile data are allowed.

I cannot even get a sensible log or network trace out of the browser as there are no Dev tools.

It sometimes feels like Mozilla are trying their absolute hardest to lose users, I even had had the old "browser uses 12gb of memory for two tabs" problem on desktop the other week.

Specs: Android 13 Pixel 5 with latest version of Firefox installed.

Issue: This problem has existed for months for me.

audio stutters or more so swiftly cuts in and out.

Sometimes the video itself stutters/lags.

Taping the full screen icon puts the app in the background. Upon reopening it, the entire app looks like it's hanging off the side of the screen.

Example attached.

I watch a YouTube video in full screen mode. I turn the phone sideways to fill the screen. When I turn the phone back up right I get a consistent problem. I see half of the full screen. I see the left side of the screen and I can't scroll over to the right side of the screen to change tabs. So I'm stuck. I have updated and reinstalled Firefox several times. Imagine your screen shows half of a full screen. It's always the left half. If I turn my phone back horizontal then I see everything. But when I turn my phone back up right it doesn't leave full screen mode. Instead it shows me half of full screen mode. Thanks for your assistance.

while performing a download, "com.android.phone has stopped" apears, the signal strenght indicator in the upper right restarts(disappears, reappears with the 4G mark, the mark disappears and the indicator works after), after that the phone service and the phone app work normally. the download finishes normally.

using motorola e7 plus, android 10

tried restarting the phone, deleting cash and data of phone app, deleting cash of firefox

it is possible that the issue started happening after I updated firefox but It's possible that it was happening before too.

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.

I have Firefox (Beta) installed on a Samsung S8 Android, and its sole purpose in life is to display a live videostream (live TV program from https://canalcurta.tv.br/viainternet ).

The problem is that the internet link in/from Brazil is "variable", meaning the live stream in Firefox will hang - sometimes for a few seconds, and sometimes "forever".

So I have two questions:

1) Is there a buffer setting for live streaming video. (It does not matter if the stream is 2 minutes late! ;) ) (I don't want to "load entire video before watching", I only want to have a very large buffer for live videos.)

2) Is there a way to make Firefox auto-restart a video stream which has hung more than 1 minute (or whatever)?

Thank you very much! Your help is much appreciated! <3

(This was originally posted in the Android section, but is general, I think.)

I love Firefox. Haven't used ANYTHING else for years

Android 10

I don't use Facebook. When I click on a company's Facebook search result to open in Firefox... It tries to open in another app that can't open it, like a maps app or something like that.

Firefox is set as my choice as browser to open links with.

To be clear, when I click on the search result to open it, I am only given two choices that I can't use and don't want. This seems to only happen with Facebook. It doesn't give Facebook as a choice, which I don't use anyway

Thank you Dr Mark
