Firefox for Android Community Forum

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

My mothers new phone won't load external links and mine does?

I have way more strict security settings and same extensions. She has 2 and I have 13 extensions but they overlap and are not the issue. When someone sends her a link her Firefox does not convert the link like mine does, she gets a link in format https://share.google/ + string of letters, when she opens it, it's a blank page. When I open the same link it converts it from that to a regular link (https://). I have installed Firefox to at least 3 other people and none have this issue. I don't have this issue on desktop either.

If it makes a difference: Out all the people that have this browser on their phone she's the only one that has a new phone with Android 16 (mine is Android 14). They are both up to date on both software and Firefox updates.

I had about 20 tabs in my "Inactive tabs" on Firefox mobile. Today I wanted to open one of them, but all gone. I can't even found them in "recently closed tabs". This is very upsetting because some of them was very important for me.

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

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?

Until a few days ago, when I shared tabs from my mobile device to my desktop, it opened in a new tab or tabs in the active window on my desktop. Now all of the shared tabs are opening in their own window. Is there a way to adjust this in Settings?

when Google share links are sent to me, they won't open in Firefox. I have to copy and paste the entire uRL and open Chrome in order to view them on my android device. Pixel 9

My phone broke down and I had to send it in, for it to be repaired. As usual for warranty repairs the phone needed a factory reset to be sent in. Before doing that I backed up my session using Firefox sync as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile/backup-recovery-and-sync/backup-data That went fine and I could access the data from my PC.

Now my phone returned, I reinstalled firefox yesterday and immediately after signing in, my backup in Sync was overwritten with a blank session. Is there any way to get the old session back?

Since having my Samsung android "mended" I've lost the Collections.

I save quite a lot of tabs for future reference or just as a keep for ideas, holidays etc.

I've read the 'answers' in a number of forums/Google and so on, but they don't address the problem fully - they all state the obvious: click on this, scroll down to that - we know, that's why we're asking where the devil have they gone?!

I would like very much if *someone* who isn't a bot to answer this please. I'm sure I speak for many of us who are fed up with stock answers. If you don't know, find out. That's your job surely?

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.

I've created a passkey for logging in to Google.

When trying to log in to Google within Firefox on my Pixel 9 phone, I'm automatically taken to the page where I should be prompted to enter my passkey, but no prompt actually appears, so there's no way for me to actually enter my passkey. (See attached screenshot.)

To be clear, I can still tap "Try another way" and log in using other methods, such as via an approval prompt sent to my other devices.

This problem does not happen on my Samsung tablet. When I try to log in to Google within Firefox on my tablet, I'm given the choice to log in via various methods, and if I choose to use a passkey, I *am* given a prompt to enter my passkey.

Any idea what the problem could be?
