Firefox for Android Community Forum

I know I will probably have to live with that (nonsense) new UI. But how to at least disable UI animations, so that the new menu appears immediately when I open it? I have reduced animations enabled in Android settings but firefox doesn't honor it.

I have set my phone to switch between light and dark mode on schedule. Everytime it does so, Firefox doesn't theme refresh correctly. Usually, the search bar will be on the old theme and I'll need to close Firefox as an active app and restart it to refresh correctly. This also means websites looking for theme refresh signals from the browser do not pick it up correctly and thus the browsing experience is visually jarring. This issue has been around for more than a year. Reinstalling Firefox hasn't helped. This is a bug in the browser code and can be reproduced on my Android tablet as well.

Why do you have a leave feedback button in the app but it leads to the question section instead of leaving feedback options. Lastly, why is it so hard to make Firefox display in dark mode across every webpage?

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.

Could you make a shortcut to switch on between "dark mode" and "bright mode" in the mobile app browser + pc desktop browser?

There are enough webpages that don't show correctly in dark mode. It is not convenient to change the dark mode each time in settings!

Thank you

The new UI for the menu is awkward. A list is way easier to read.

I don't like being treated like I'm entering a grocery store that's testing on its guinea pigs.

It would be cool if you guys just allowed for Android UI customization, or at least a standard ESR style UI release.

The new one, with all the bubbles and nice looks, is honestly just hard to read. A list is logical and computer-like... Which just happens to be what Firefox uses to run on! A computer! LOLOLOL

Recently, the android app was changed internally that, ie. settings are no longer accessible through a sidebar menu but from the bottom up (?). Now, the entire tab view has changed - the tiled tab preview shows tabs as way longer tiles (which is incredibly inconvenient) and the layout at the top for accessing normal tabs, private tabs and synced tabs has entirely changed, too. But none of the guides I have found online to disable this change through settings (and secret settings) worked to set this change back. Is there any other way to change it back at all?

Hallo there,

to my dismay my Firefox browser on Android now looks like an ugly Safari clone. Which is nice to have it was an option, but sucks as a permanent thing. Asides from not liking the look it activatly makes my browsing worse. You already are on thin ice with your AI crap ans honestly this might be the final staw. I really want to like you and support you, I really do, but the past few years you've been like that dumb friend that keeps doing the wrong thing despite everyone telling them to not do it. I would really appreciate it if I could choose how my browser looks and not to get a wose UI design because your c people are insecure and want to copy the popular kids homework. I hope you understand otherwise it's been a fun decade plus but you are working on killing yourself.

Best regards A longtime loyal supporter

The new UI makes the tabs too long, blocky, and annoying to use/traverse on mobile, it takes me nearly double the time to scroll through my tabs than it used to. I would really appreciate a way to revert this as it is making my experience unpleasant and I am genuinely considering switching to a new browser because of it.

I'm having a problem where I can't get the old menu UI back. I've done everything I could and turned off what I was supposed to to use the old menu for android but I woke up this morning and everything it back to the new UI. Everything is still turned off to make sure I was using the old menu where everything was to the right of the screen but it still won't come back up the way it's supposed to and now I don't really have a clue what to do?

I have an issue in that, upon pressing the three-dot menu button on mobile, the browser menu is suddenly popping up from the bottom of the screen instead of sliding in from the side like it's supposed to, as well as what used to be a nice and neat list of options now being a cluster of hard-to-make-out icons and buttons. I didn't change anything in the settings to make it do this (I very specifically selected the "top" display option when I first downloaded Firefox months ago and haven't touched it since), and I've already checked reddit to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so, how to return my menu's behavior and appearance to normal (no luck).

I unfortunately have no images of what my menu is supposed to look like as it never occurred to me something like this could happen, but I can at least provide a screenshot of the ugly way it looks now (notice the little bar at the top of it that suggests I'd be able to "drag" it back to its correct placement? Yeah, it doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold my finger on it.) PLEASE tell me what can be done to undo this awful change and return my menu to normal!

I used to constantly use Firefox on my Windows computer, but I no longer use it on my Android tablet. On Windows, I could easily access and click on my bookmarks, which were divided on the left side of the browser. This is missing on Android, and I think it's a major drawback. It made things easier and allowed faster access to the sites saved in my bookmarks. I kindly request that experts bring that ease of use to Android as well. Otherwise, I won't be able to use the Firefox browser anymore.

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

Several days ago when I wanted to open a new bookmark, I would click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and a drop down would appear, very easy to navigate. ,Now after tapping the 3 dots box appears at the bottom of the screen, aside from being new in appearance it doesn't seem to be very intuitive

Hello. It could be cool to be able to personalize the tool on Android, just like the desktop version. Is that in that pipe? Is there a proper way to make suggestion? Sincerely, Maxence.
