Firefox for Android Community Forum

When doing anything that requires momentarily leaving browser focus, such as hopping to an authentication app or email or text to receive a 2 factor authentication code, the browser will refresh the current page every time I hop back to Firefox.

This usually causes in most cases the code I left to retrieve to become expired as it now wants a new one when the page refreshes. In most cases this also wipes out the entire content of forms that I have taken time filling in. This can happen any time the app loses focus, even if somebody just phones me and I don't even volunterily leave the app.

I go to a website and it tells me that it has emailed me a code. I have to go to another app to bring up my email to get the code. When I go back to Firefox using the recent apps feature, on my phone, Firefox reloads to the previous page and I have to start all over again because you've gotten rid of the page I was on, to put the code in. It's an endless cycle. Since I'm not actually closing Firefox why can't it open onto the page I was just on?

When I try to browse the webpage still not show anything or loading about 30-50 Second before start loading. Sometimes it get freeze not show anything need to re-enter url.

Switching between private browsing mode to normal browsing mode or vice versa results I the header size increasing. Need to close it and reopen for it to go back to normal. Running Android 15 on an Asus Zenfone 10

hi, I have this odd issue lately that when I type something in the browser, search engines in particular, then hit the enter key on the on screen keyboard, and then click inside the same inputfield again that the backspace button switches behavior and no longer affects the text field but deletes the last letter from the word in the auto-correct-suggestion panel diirectly above the keyboard. clicking back into the browsers textbox doesn't help either. I have to press backspace several times until auto-correct stops suggesting new words, (turning off auto suggest doesn't fix it) then focus returns to the inputfield in the browser

I can repro it with multiple keyboard apps (microsoft & heliboard), on different search engine websites but it only happens in Firefox not in chrome nor any other Android app.

I also noticed that when I move the text cursor somewhere with a tap in this input field and then hit backspace, then it will show the context menu (copy, paste, insert...) for less than a second and instantly close it again. Pressing backspace a second time doesn't trigger it again until you move the input cursor with a tap again.

I only use uBlock but disabling it didn't help. Phone: Nothing 3

I have an issues while typing certain phrases for example: 1-while typing "8oh" after typing "h" it autocorrect to "88oho" and place cursor behind last "o" so result looks like "88oh|o" where "|" is the cursor. 2-while typing "34-34W" after typing "W" it autocorrect to "34-334-34W4" and place cursor behind last "4" so result looks like this "34-334-34W|4" where "|" is the cursor. It is occurring everywhere like in search engine Google, while typing comments on YouTube and even in this particular window while typing about this issue. It does not occurre in adres bar. It does not occurred while writing without text prediction. It occurred even autocorrect is disable.

When I switch to another app on my phone for 30-40 seconds, the tab that I had open decides that it should refresh. This is super annoying when trying to fill out a form and the information you get from another appz and the form reloads and all the info is gone

I do not know is this from my os or no, but this is an issue that breaks my experience almost all the time, and I am not the only one experiencing it.

当把Firefox置于后台一段时间，甚至是很少的一段时间后，就需要重新加载页面，这个加载过程很慢，通常需要几秒至几十秒，大多数时候都在十几秒。 这对于一个移动端浏览器来说是严重性能影响，因为很多时候可能只是随手搜索一些东西，打开或加载过慢尤其影响使用感受。 像其他浏览器，比如我正在使用的其他浏览器Edge或X浏览器，基本上可以无论何时点开直接使用。

When I leave FF and open it again after some time I would get a black screen and the app would not show the content on the current page or query a new search for several seconds which gets annoying when doing multitasking

I have a poco X7 pro if that matters

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Rednote 10 pro mobile phone. I have been a longstanding user of Firefox on numerous devices.

However I am having real difficulties on my phone when switching away from the app and returning (for example to check a code for MFA). I have checked battery settings (unrestricted), background autostart (enabled). I've tried locking the app in the recent processes list, in developer settings "don't keep activities" is off and background processes is set to standard limit.

Even with only 1 other app in memory every time I activate another app and return the page reloads and I lose what I was doing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have the most recent update.

Other browsers on my phone such as Chrome do not exhibit this behaviour - when I switch apps and back again the page in the browser is retained.

Is this a known fault with this type of phone? Am I doing something obviously wrong? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
