Firefox for Android Community Forum

Ive used text to speach on Android long before AI. Why am I now forced to keep AI features enabled or otherwise lose the standard option and conveince of my phones basic feature?

From time to time, when while playing YouTube Premium videos in Firefox on my Android Galaxy S26 (same was on S24 before for years) I connect the phone to Android Auto of my Ford Mustang 2024 with USB cable, the playback stops. After that I still can browse the web, but can not play any video until I twice in a row kill and restart the Firefox (loosing all private pages, etc). Disconnect/reconnect of the cable does not help. There are no any errors reported when it happen. It looks as some connectivity or YouTube problem, except the moment I restart Firefox twice everything goes back to normal. Since during that connection the audio is getting redirected to the car speakers, I suspect the problem may be audio-related, but I have no specific evidences. Also since car's multimedia is usually still booting at the time, it takes Android Auto several seconds to start, and I guess some random delays and/or transient errors might happen during that period, that I guess may be not handled properly by Firefox, making it leak some critical resources.

Sometimes (extremely rare) I experience similar video hangs just when switching between YouTube videos without any connectivity changes, but that may be some different issue.

when turning "show voice search" to off the voice search button is still present and usable on the new tab screen.

i also have the AI control for voice search off and yet it still functions

is there a way to remove it from this screen as well?

When I use Firefox on Samsung DeX, a blank and big box appears under the address bar. This box disappears when I place the address bar on the bottom. Switching back to the top brings the box back. What might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't intentionally do anything to either Firefox or bitwarden but, today, the bitwarden extension suddenly no longer works. I got an error saying that I must use Firefox for Android which is, of course, what I'm using. Wifi? But, I can't get back to that screen to take a screenshot.

Google Lens type camera in mobile and pc search engines and browsers. I got on my Android phone Firefox browser shortcut and Google's, Googles's has a camera next to the mic than when you click it it gives 2 options to take and analyze, search photo, or use for same reason a photo from gallery. Will Firefox ad this type of feature on mobile and pc? And the magnifying glass is ai search.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.

When accessing only specific web pages, the screen freezes during loading. Backing, refresh, etc., are not working at all. The only way is to close the tab. I'm curious about the solution.

I love firefox mobile, however there is one element that drives me absolutely crazy while using it. I want to use the Homepage Shortcuts feature because I like the idea of pinning my most frequently used sites for easy access when I launch a new tab. HOWEVER the shortcuts screen decides that its a great idea to just list every website I have browsed on it. This is completely abysmal and clutters it up. It makes me shut this feature off completely and just use a black empty screen as my new tab page. Turning off the recently visited toggle makes ZERO difference. Please for the love of God fix this awful design decision and put the power of our homepage and new tab page back into the hands of the users. The sponsored ad thing was bad enough but maybe if people had more control of every aspect of what they get to see they might actually use the Homepage Shortcuts instead of disabling it entirely.

I prefer the light mode fire fox browser, as it contrasts with my system's dark mode so I can easily distinguish what I'm looking at. However, Firefox Android's light mode is appearing as black for me. Dark mode works normally, and it's a dark grey. The frustrating thing is yesterday it seemed fine, with light mode being white.
