Firefox for Android Community Forum

Even though I've never changed my settings aside from the first time I changed them to my preferred settings, for whatever reason, Firefox no longer opens links I tap on in external apps. I changed the settings to do it that way the very first time and it worked fine up until a little while ago. Now, the only way it opens a link in the external app when I tap on it, is if I tap and hold, and then choose that option in the pop-up menu. As I said, in the settings it IS set to open links in external apps, but it doesn't do it anymore.

Early this morning, the Play Store notified me there was an update for Firefox. I went to my Play Store account and downloaded the new update. After the download, I tried opening Firefox by tapping on the icon. Firefox tried to open but immediately closed. This keeps happening, even now. I did get one message from my phone saying "this version of Firefox is not compatible with your phone". Never had any problems like this before.

Every time I bring the app to 0 tabs, the application automatically sends me to the Firefox Nightly for Developers page on the Google Play Store, even after I've checked repeatedly that the application is its most recent version. This began WITH a prompt to update, which I found to be normal, but now it will not cease!

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

When you open firefox private mode, it says leave no trace. Assuring users that whatever happens in their private session, stays in that session, but this is a blatant lie and firefox knows this. Go to any site that has cookies, or user login, or something similar. login into the site. Than simply remove firefox from ram. Now open firefox again, go to private mode, and go to that site. Most of the time, it still remembers the user. This issue has been present for far too long, not addressed, still pushed to the users that it is safe to use. Instead of warning the users, it is promoting them to use it by saying leaves no trace in this new update. This is unacceptable.

Ever since the latest update to Firefox nightly on Android, whenever I try to open the browser I get a pop up asking me if I want to open it with the Play Store or the Samsung store. I went ahead and updated it and it continues to do this every single time I try to open the browser. It continually opens the Play Store as well. This must be some bug as it is happening on both of my devices that I recently updated Firefox nightly, both my phone and my tablet.

Firefox cann't use microphone in my android 5.1 device. But a camera work perfectly (after confirm allow in a pop-up with asking "if you want to share your device’s camera and microphone with that site.") FireFox detect microfone as "default input device" but it doesn"t work. In a special sites that can test a work of the microphone, drop down list of the detected device (in the Firefox) contains only one item "default input device" and microphone doesn't work. In other browsers (Chrome), вesides this "default input device" that drop down also contains other items and microphone work perfectly I need to use microphone in Firefox for web version of a messenger that doesn't support in ohter browsers and apk on this android device

Where is the issue tracker for Firefox Nightly on Android? The last few updates have caused the keyboard to block the bottom part of webpages, making it impossible for me to see what I'm typing.

Bei einigen Web-Seiten oder Apps (ich kann es leider nicht näher spezifizieren) werde ich von dem Anbieter obligatorisch nach Benutzername und Kennwort gefragt, die Firefox kennen und vorblenden sollte. Aber dann erscheint über dem Tastatur-Feld meines Android-Smartphones ein Symbol mit einem Fingerabdruck und dem Label "Firefox entsperren". Wenn ich da draufdrücke, geschieht nichts. Was muss ich tun?

Herzlichen Dank!

How do you disable the "feature" that closes tabs when you swipe over them by accident? It's way to sensitive and ends up closing tabs that I want to be left open all of the time.

Hi,

Firefox android provides no master password/primary password protection so passwords in the Firefox password manager are protected only by your lockscreen swipe(yeah, I thought the same thing you just thought).

I need full protection like on Desktop or I can't sync my passwords to Firefox. However, when temporarily enabling password sync on desktop, for example between two desktop devices it also temporarily enables it on android Firefox that you might have synced as well. The upshot of this for me is that I now have all my passwords on android without wanting them there for the above reasons.

So, how do I remove all passwords on my firefox android, without having to reinstall Firefox on the phone?
