Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi. No matter what I do, Firefox will not work with MSN. I have spent days following all sorts of on line advice. Links to news stories will not open at all. I have reset router, reinstalled firefox and done loads of other actions. Other browsers work fine. Any advice before I ditch FF? Thanks

Good day,

I noticed that the "recently closed tabs" hustory remains available even after quitting firefox, when quitting should erase history.

This is counterintuitive. I would like quitting to clear also the recently closed tabs.

Would you like to consider this for the next version update?

Thank you for your work. I appreciate what you do a lot!

Best regards

Im experiencing browsing issues visiting pages with dynamic content in the latest versions of Firefox. Im seeing similar behavior in Firefox desktop and the Firefox Android app. Both apps are running the latest version.

Here is an example page: https://www.vox.com/21523212/crossword-puzzles-free-daily-printable

When I go to this site, I see the text content, but the list of puzzles that comprises the main page of the page is just blank. Same behavior on desktop and mobile. (See first screenshot)

If I use Chrome (desktop or mobile) or Safari (desktop), the page shows up normally with a list of puzzles. (second screenshot from Chrome desktop).

This is happening across a few sites I visit. Most seem to have some kind of dynamic content loading (like the list of puzzles on this page). This seemed to start this past weekend and I first thought it might be related to the AWS issues, but it's not resolved and it seems specific to FF.

Thanks.

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

Since last week, virtually anywhere i go using Firefox Android I get the attached cloud flare test for that site. I use a VPN but turning it off doesn't fix it. I have cleared the cache, reinstalled the browser, and the problem persists. Curiously, if I log out and use Firefox without logging in, it stops. Chrome, Brave and Edge don't do this. Thanks, Mike

With the last release,the saved shortcuts will no longer scroll left to right. Now, the only way to see the second page of shortcuts is to click see all. Please help me with that.

Please add an option to set a default language to translate into. I often have to translate Japanese webpages, and each time I need to scroll through the list of "Translate to" languages to find English.

Hi, When I go to a specific website, my password is being auto filled to the page's search bar. I have created an Autofill exception for this site, and it still happens. To stop it, I have to disable password Autofill on entirely. I probably don't need to say this is a security issue. Every time I visit this site my password is being sent to their servers as a search query. I'm using Firefox Android. Please help

On some websites Firefox blocks entry of texts in text fields manifested in 2 ways: keyboard in Android pops but no text is entered when typing, or no keyboard pops. The tried refreshing pages, switching to desktop mode, clearing browsing data nothing works. Attempting to report this to a site:https://ambientweather.net. Ultimately I had to download and install a different browser to access the site. I was already logged into the site and other field changes were correctly implemented. On pages with 2 search fields, one site-wide and one in my search context, both fields failed When switching to desktop version, I noticed a typical cookie notice which I hoped was taking the focus away from the other fields but closing that notice did not resolve the problem.

While I assume a design implementation error by sites, this may be related to the ongoing memory conflicts one experiences when doing multiple searches on heavy video sites. As with the old Firefox Android, Firefox slows down and can't seem to dump all it's cache, apparently, to handle more input. in those cases a dump of most browsing data generally clears the problem, but didn't help here. I suspect an underlying Firefox cause because I've seen this over several random sites but with no clear pattern. I just revisited the site above and it works as designed now.

Consider this the equivalent to trying to use a PC without a keyboard, it's really a catastrophic fail.

Hi developers, I'm running Firefox on an Android tablet and ran into an issue. When I enable the desktop version of the browser, accessing websites (like searching on Baidu) fails to load the desktop version. I compared Edge browser with Firefox and found through website UserAgent detection that when Edge runs desktop websites, it switches UserAgent to Linux, while Firefox maintains Android UserAgent for desktop sites. This causes some websites to ignore network requests and load mobile versions. To resolve this, we need to disable and re-enable desktop website access first, which may allow the site to respond to desktop requests.

Can I adjust the settings to switch to the desktop version of the website? I don't want to switch to another browser.
