Firefox for Android Support Forum

Hi, I'm running ... Firefox 120.0? On a US Samsung Galaxy S22 running Android 14 and One UI 6.0.

Korean characters used to display in a uniform font but after a recent phone update, I now get different fonts (with greatly decreased readability). I can't find any font options in the Firefox app and the only thing language-related is what language Firefox menus are in. I also can't find any relevant font options in the phone settings either - can someone help?

I have a problem with the app. I use it for a good amount of time and then the next day all of my newly open tabs disappeared. Also the tabs I have left is not updated to the latest page. For example was reading a comic Chapter 17 then next day back to Chapter 10

My Android Firefox consums 53% of the battery. See Screenshot. It was not in use. Standard browser is Firefox klar. There are no addons installed. The app was removed and newly installed several times. How can I fix the problem?

Hello,

I am getting a frequent freeze in the Android app and then shortly after a crash. Info: - happens on FF, FF Beta, and FF Nightly,and reinstall/phone reset didn't fix. - Samsung Galaxy SM-G965U running Android 10. - every error starts with java.lang.OutofMemoryError. - it never happens just on startup, just on auto fill, or some of the similar crash reports I've seen around here. - it does appear to be site-specific, but sometimes the site works and sometimes it does not: if I close the last tab after a crash, it will usually work for awhile. - Sync and disabling Add-ons doesnt fix it, although perhaps its worse with uBlock Origin enabled (not conclusively)

Thanks for any suggestions.

This forum website sometimes just gets stuck and doesn't want to load, and Firefox won't even throw the timeout error. This issue cannot be consistently replicated.

I tested this in another browser called Google Chrome, and the issue is not present there.

I have a Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G running Android 13.

This is a new issue that just started occuring this month Nov/2023. Firefox for Android has suddenly developed an issue where instead of saving to the download folder and renaming the file with (1), (2), etc. It will save to a random folder and overwrite an existing file with the same name.

Noticed occuring on ebay images because they have the same naming structure.

Hi there, I recently downgraded Firefox on my Android (5.1.1), as the new versions of the app became to get heavy.

I have logged in with my Account and am now trying to get the bookmarks synced. I have no Desktop right now to pair. The bookmarks and the Account are only available on my iPad, where FF is logged in and has the bookmarks synced.

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for any help and regards, Dan

Whenever I have Firefox for Android set as the default browser, the app causes lots of battery drain for no reason. I have not found any reason for this or any way to stop this, other than to not set FF as the default browser. Does anyone have any insight into this problem? This has been going on for many months now, on different devices. My current device is the Pixel 8 Pro. The screenshot shows exactly what I mean and the majority of this battery drain happened overnight when the phone was not being used.

On November 22nd, 2023, when the application got its last update, everytime I open a new tab it stops loading the website half-way. And it blocks every other tab I have saved for later from loading again. It works after I erase cache 5 or 6 times. I had no problems like this one in the past.

So, I was redirected here after posting a review of the Firefox app on the play store. This is honestly quite embarrassing for me, especially if it's because my problem is actually a simple mistake, but I assume it'll be worth it if I can get some help here. So not very long after I downloaded Firefox, I noticed that after some time (I can't actually pinpoint an exact time, unfortunately.), my private tabs will close, and I'll only have one that is not on any of the websites that I was on. I figured this was because my tab settings, but I checked multiple times, and I have the close tabs setting set to "never." (Close manually.) Is this an issue on my part, or is there potentially something wrong with the application or my phone? I apologize if this is a bit ridiculous, but I was also wondering how Firefox will notify me if I accidentally tap/click on a dangerous/suspicious link or website, do I get a visible warning on my screen? Or do I have to check to see if the connection is secure? (I use Google with Firefox.) If this was something I could've just looked up, then again, I apologize.

On the mobile app for Android (Google Pixel 2 XL, Android version 11), there's this really annoying issue where tabs are constantly duplicated. Normally, it's when I search something on Google (through Firefox). It pulls up the search results, of course. But when I hit a link, here's what happens: the tab is redirected as it should be, but simultaneously another tab is opened, which is a duplicate of the original tab (the one with the search results), and Firefox switches to view that tab, tab 2. So I have to go back to tab 1 to see whatever, and usually I then close tab 2. After this, once I've been hit a few links on a single tab, caused that tab to redirect a few times, it stops doing this. I've also noticed a similar issue, specifically with Google images in Firefox. Sometimes, when I open a picture to view it, every time I go to the tab with the picture, it opens a tab of the Google images page (before I selected a picture). This will happen endlessly sometimes, every time I open the tab to view the picture, meaning I never actually get to see the picture.

"Can you provide guidance on how to optimize my search experience in Mozilla Firefox? I'm looking for tips and settings adjustments to enhance my search efficiency and accuracy. Thank you!"

Since there is a workaround, perhaps we could be told if the issue is related to using an older Android version. (phone doesn't support newer versions). That would prevent myself and others from updating Firefox. For all of you working on Firefox (thank you!) but there is no reason to ensure it works with all versions of Android!

one plus 6t android version 11 Firefox version 120.0.0 (no add-ons)

After upgrading Firefox 118 to 120, reading mode has various issues. Sometimes the webpage looks the same (white background, small text). Sometimes an error is presented. Here is one example.

Link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-install-firefox-windows Result: Cannot Complete Request (Additional information about this problem or error is currently unavailable) Work around: Copy link, Open DuckDuckGo.com, paste the link and then go to the webpage.

Interestingly, when using the paste & go workaround, some pages open in Reading Mode by default. (Dark background, white text, larger font) with the reading mode icon in blue. Selecting the reading mode button does exit reading mode.

The other, rarer, issue, is that reading mode appears the same as non-reading mode. Workaround works.
