Hi there, Firefox on Android is unable to show a progress on files that is currently being downloaded. It does, show notification, and I can pause and cancel it from there, but the details are unknown, the progress bar doesn't tell how much bytes has been downloaded and when i press pause and resume, the state is horribly unknown, the progress becomes 0%, etc. What I want is that Downloads menu in three-dots menu must show this too, not only the files that has been downloaded.

ON MY PHONE. I play a game on web3. For years it worked, now it does not respond. It shows the sign on screen and saved pw, BUT will not accept or function past that point. I have cleaned history, but nothing. I still play on my computer. But no longer on my phone. Sync was done. It used to work, that is what gets me.

Howdy folks, hope all is well your way...

When I download a file, a notification pops up when the download is complete. I find this quite annoying, especially when downloading file in a bit of rapid succession.

Is there some way to turn this off on FF mobile?

I tried... about:config > browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel on the nightly build, but after having created the option, it doesn't seem to work.

I would be forever indebted to any suggestions y'all can provide.

Thanks.

I use Firefox Android (newest version) on my OnePlus 8 Pro (Android updated to the newest version).

Usually when I browse the net, I tap the URL bar whenever I wanna head to another website on another domain (for example from google.com to youtube.com). I don't like to close the tab and open a new one as that's slower. I could tap the URL bar and immediately typ the new URL on my touch keyboard as the current URL would be already selected so typing the first characters of the domain name (for example 'you' for youtube.com) would replace the whole URL and autofill would then suggest the full URL so I could press Enter on my keyboard afterwards.

Some behaviour changed some versions ago. Now I can do that most of the time but *sometimes* tapping the URL bar does not select the whole URL. Instead, autofill will suggest a sub URL of the page I'm currently on and typing on my keyboard will only replace the additional part of the URL autofill suggests. If I wanna leave the website and go to a completely new one, I will have to manually delete the whole URL and start typing afterwards.

---

Look at the two images I've uploaded: Image "A" directly shows how it looks after I've tapped on the URL bar: I'm on URL "https://ytforum.de/f" which is a German board about youtube. Autofill suggests I could browse to "https://ytforum.de/f/unread-thread-list", which is their URL to display all unread topics of the board. As you can see, there's two different colors for the highlight of the selection. The left part which is the URL I'm currently on is highlighted with a grey color (red 1) while the new part suggested from autofill ("unread-thread-list", blue 2) is highlighted with a purle-ish color.

When I type "youtube" on my keyboard, I would now expect the whole URL to be replaced with youtube and autofill to suggest youtube.com, which is how it worked some versions ago. However, the first letter ("y") will cause the purple selection (blue 2) to be deleted while the letters afterwards ("outube") will be added to the already existing URL I'm currently on (red 1).

The result can be seen in image "B": the URL after typing "youtube" is now "https://ytforum.de/f/outube" which is not what I would ever expect and also it's not the site I want to go to. Please pay attentio to the "y" of "youtube" not being in the URL as this key acted like a delete press, only deleting the suggestion.

How can I make the URL bar to consistently ALWAYS select the whole URL on firefox android?

---

I also want to point out that this bug apparently only occures when you're on a sub path of a URL. For example this behaviour does NOT occur when I am only on "https://ytforum.de". It only occurs when I am on "https://ytforum.de/f" and it also only occurs on other sites when I'mn NOT on the top level of the domain. I also don't wish to turn off autofill completely. It's a very useful tool I use all the time to navigate to pages faster, I don't wanna miss it.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hello, I believe that my Firefox android browser updated to version 113 on May 19, 2023. Up until that point, I had no issues with getting notifications sent to my device from the web version of YouTube accessed through Firefox. I could refresh the page and leave the Firefox app and still receive notifications. Ever since the update, every time the YouTube page is reloaded (which also happens when you leave the app) the Desktop Notifications toggle in the YouTube desktop mode settings switches to off. I can switch this toggle back on, the page is refreshed, and this toggle (and only this toggle) automatically switches to off. This happens every time and I am no longer receiving notificationsto my device. The YouTube app for Android is not involved in this, as I use Firefox to access the web version YouTube as an alternative. Please provide information that can help resolve this issue and/or please make a note of this issue so it can be resolved in the future. Thank you so much.
