Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

Why can i not use Prime video in Firefox anymore for Android? Is just doesnt want to load the video, i have turned off any and all adblockers.

Also why on gods green earth have i started to have to double tap the search bar before Firefox responds? I dont have to do it on Chrome, edge, brave, opera, only Firefox what are they doing over here these days?

Sync collections after Android factory reset, have Firefox on desktop that is synced, but the new Android install synced bookmarks but not collections, of which i have many, or did.

I'm sure I've just missed a step, but been reading for 3 weeks now .... any idea's?

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.

Hi Firefox I installed Firefox and I have a problem with transferring passwords from Chrome to Firefox because I don't see the option to export hala to it, how can I do it and do I need the PC version to do it? Best regards, Kacper.

I have the Android version of Firefox

Its only happening with youtube. it zooms into the wrong section of the screen and not the video

Ive tried restarting my phone, making a new tab, reloading the tab, exitting firefox and then going back in and turning off extentions but nothing works.

This just started today

Witam. Kiedy zostanie dodany język norweski w tłumaczeniu stron? Od wielu lat używam Firefox i nie chciał bym zmienić przeglądarki tylko przez brak języka norweskiego🥺

This is a recent problem. I normally watch YouTube while I play games on my phone by splitting the screen. Recently YouTube has been unable to play videos on the smallest window size. This was possible a week ago. I have attached an image of the size at which this occurs. This is a problem large enough that I will no longer be using the browser if it continues. Half and half screen size still works, however it doesn't work for my purpose.

Along with comments no longer loading when using youtube, picture in picture no longer works. Ive already informed you of the comment section and still not fixed. Is there a way to roll back versions of Firefox to a version that isn't broken?

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

For some reason Firefox 108.2.0 wont let me have detailed control over my add-ons including noscript. In addition when I got to "Add-ons" in settings it now shows my add-ons but indicates that they are disabled. When I try to enable them they say "successfully enabled" but on t=revisiting the detail page they show as disabled once more. I believe they are working (at least bitwarden appears to be). The individual control is an essential feature of noscript

Any idea how to change the hideous Firefox icon that some smart people made to not match all all with the Android icon ecosystem and design? Did they fire all designers at Mozilla? When we will see some logic and proper design

Dear all,

Since the last update the on top YouTube videos are not playing anymore. When open YouTube video full screen with browser, then clicking on home button. It opens on top video. But this video is not playing. Could you please fix it? Regards

I have an issue with picture in picture. Every time I'm watching a video in full screen on m.youtube.com and I want it in picture in picture mode, I press the home button, and it pauses the video whilst also going out of Fullscreen mode. This happens on a Google pixel 9 running android 15 with Firefox version 136.0.2 and on a Google pixel 3xl running android 12 with Firefox version 136.0.2. And on a Samsung s21 running android 14 with Firefox version 134.0.2 (I down graded to fix an audio issue) all of these have the same picture in picture problem How do I fix this?
