Firefox for Android Community Forum

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.

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.

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

KR CJAB

I was attempting to use the Pinetools.com photo editing site on Firefox for Android, and it sent Firefox into a crash loop - I had to uninstall and reinstall. I was able to replicate this one more time. Here's exactly how it went down:

• went to https://pinetools.com/add-noise-image
• uploaded and filtered the photo
• "right"/long-clicked it to open the edit in a new tab, which immediately sent Firefox into a crash loop
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox when it became clear that closing the app wasn't solving the problem
• replicated the above steps, to the same result
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox again.

I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and reinstalled them both times - is there any chance I could have put my device/info at risk?

Web pages keep refreshing when I go to scroll down (ie move towards the bottom of the page). It's gotten worse (more sensitive) since the update. It usually only happens right after a page has finished loading. I'm definitely not pulling down. I like having the pull down to refresh feature but this is happening nearly every time. Thank you

I am a regular Firefox user and I really appreciate the security and privacy features you provide. I would like to request a new feature that would make password management even more convenient: the ability to import saved passwords from other browsers or from a password file (for example, a CSV or JSON export) directly into Firefox.

At the moment, when switching from another browser or setting up a new device, I have to either manually enter each password or rely on third‑party tools, which can be time‑consuming and less secure. If Firefox allowed importing passwords from common formats, it would greatly improve the user experience and make it easier to move to Firefox without losing existing login data.

I understand that this must be done with strong security checks, such as requiring the user to confirm each imported login and ensuring that the process is encrypted and safe. If this feature is not planned yet, I kindly ask you to consider it for a future release.

Thank you for your hard work and for listening to user feedback.

Links won't respond to touch , scrolling up and down is fine , all other touch functions are fine , just links and tabs etc won't respond

Any help ? Wasn't like this before

The newest update now has numbers next to my bookmark folders telling me how many bookmarks I have. I don't need nor want this info. How do I disable this setting?

I hate more clutter with updates.

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.
