I'm having trouble getting firefox to use the rear camera on my phone when scanning qr codes for a web page. The old solution appears to have been to reset Firefox's camera permissions and from there you could change which camera the app would use. However, this feature appears to have been removed as Firefox will now default to my selfie camera, which is very inconvenient. Is there an option I'm not able to see in the app or a work around for this issue? Thanks in advance for the help!

I use the Android beta version of Firefox to open the website as shown in the picture. I've turned on the option Ask me when opening links with external apps in settings. When I clicked the Open APP button in the upper right corner, there was no pop-up window asking me whether to open Quark Browser as expected, but it was downloaded directly. However, when I visit some other websites such as Zhihu, the correct pop-up window appears. What is the problem?

Hey guys! so, for background, I'm using Firefox Beta on a Galaxy tab.

I have this thing when I use the browser in Multi Window and try to highlight a text by tap holding it. the pop-up menu (where you have options such as copy/cut and select, etc.) doesn't really show. this only happens to me on Firefox. what's up with that?

also, tapping a word twice doesn't select it even when I'm not using Multi Window... what's up with that?

All video players on websites will, if viewed in full screen, close the firefox app on my android device. The app gets minimized and can be opened back, but all pages become bugged then and appear in half the page only, links cannot be copied either, the page will only work partially when my phone is held horizontally. This issue happens with or without auto-rotate enabled. The bug most often happens as soon as I set a video on full-screen, but can happen while the video is playing also. I tried disabling all of my add-ons and the bug still persists(I will attach a photo of my addon list). Here is a video of the bug after the app closed and I reopened it.

I've recently bought an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE( as an replacment for my A- seriers). Model: SM- X516B.

However even if this tablets has better hardware( better CPU,RAM,Battery,Screen,etc), but when since the hardware is depending on it's software; the total result will be trash.

But what I can say about Samsungs A- seriers( tablets and smartphones), is that they are trash. It's more of an low budget Nokia phone back in the 1990's. Since neither of this models can/ is capable to multitask ( tabs and apps)

However what's the basic difference an Tab and Smartphone, is basicaly; 1. A bigger screen 2. Larger battery 3. In some cases better hardware,such as the screen,but also better CPU and RAM.

In wich the hardware is just junk,and that the software is also junk( unstable), but also that there are no compatibel apps ( besides the already pre- installed). But the most embaresment is that not even G- maps is compatibel( or neither of other basic Google services). Since I myself had tryed many navigation apps on ny device. I sadly found many of them incompatibel. But also in general terms.

But since this product family of tablets came in 5 different models. 1. S9 with an 11" AMOLED 2. S9+ with an 12.4" AMOLED 3. S9 Ulutra with an 14.6 " AMOLED 4. S9 FE with an 10.9 " LCD screen ( in wich I have) 5. S9 FE+ with an 12.4"LCD Screen ( wich is similar to the regular + model)

However since this models came with some extra features 1. An capacitive touch screen 2. An stylus( or an S- pen).

Since this model came with an stylus( capacitive touch screen), it means that I can use either my stylus or my finger( in wich is an standard today).

But as well since my stylus have some extra features( will not mention all,but it's quite easy to read more about this functions on Samsungs web). But what I can say is that there are not so many functions that are affected( incompatibel); Firefox simply don't understand this comands( ignores them).

Since this models( product family) is capable to multitask, but however it seems that Firefox isn't capable to do so.

However when I have an opend tab( in private mode); for an example a cast from youtube. And meanwhile I also would have another tab opend( just to read something else about an artist). What will happend is that the cast is muting/ pauses. However I can easy resume without start from beginning.

However it works fine with many other casts( mostly from local public service broadcast= radio or tv). For an example for me here in Sweden we have 2 tv casts and 1 radio ( www.svtplay.se, www.urplay.se, www.sr.se). Since the problem is with youtube( and also with similar cast that is casting music online).

Both of this cast can handle multitasking ( not only separare tabs,but aswell also multipel apps). Since I've also have experienced that when I'm entering Full Screen mode( in svtplay), that the app is shutting down( not crashing,but returing to the home menu,with all widgets). But stragly I can manage to resume my cast,but since the web adress is also missing( not physicaly,just an blank adress- field. So if go back in the menu,the web adress is there)

It's also incompatibel ( don't understand), that I also can type with my stylus. Because what's the problem ( lack of compatibility) is that when I would type in a new web- adress. ( in the web- adress field), firefox don't seems to understand this comand. It just ignores this comand,and activates other comands. However normaly the keyboard will show up. But what strange is if I do it the old fashion way( using my finger); the keybowrd is showing up. Then I can type what I will.

It's also annoying that when I copy something( for an example an e- mail adress,a phone nr,a zip code) etc I only can handle one copy at a time( like on normal PC). However it seem that there is an option to handle multipel once.

I have an quite annoying issue when I'm streaming something from SVT Play (www.svtplay.se).

The issue is that when I'm trying to stream anything from this site; I've noticed that the resolution is quite messed up. Insted of having an "normal" resolution ( in wich I have all the basic settings such as full screen,Text ON/ OFF etc), the resolution get a bit odd. In the beginning it's just an small screen ( aprox of an 6x6 cm), but when I'm entering Full Screen; the resolution is all over the place+ that the menu bar is missing.

But also that if I'm entering Full Screen mode; the app is " crashing", or should I say minimizing itself and that I go back to my home screen. But stangly the cast isn't interupting. When I'm trying to enterkng the app,the web- adress is missing( not physicaly but just empty).

What's more strange ( or should I say annoying), is the fact that the cast hasn't any stable resolution. Instead of having an normal resolution( cast), it's rather of an 1,5. But strangly the voice is normal. It's only the picture in wich is out of sync. But strangly if I choose the option of limited bandwith it goes back to normal.

But what's more strange is that I have full connection.

I don't know how this came,but since I'm downloading it from Play store. However since the best way is to download an APK- File( in wich my device is compatibel with). Since I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE ( SM-X516B- series)

Because however on older version it wasn't any problem. It just appear in newer versions.

However when I'm shutting down the app( have activated the option of clear history when close), it sometimes work fine. But in worse scenario I have to reinstall the app.

I have the same issue that users "graccy99" and "Matt" previously described in 2022: any time I navigate to a new page using the address/search bar, the entire page shows up in very faded colors. It goes back to normal if I click in the address bar, then go to all my open tabs, and back into the tab I was just in. However, doing this every time I make a search or navigate to a new website is untenable.

I'm using a Galaxy Tab S7 FE in dark mode. The other users who brought this up were also using Galaxy tablets. Would appreciate any advice, since I don't see any solutions posted from previous times users have brought up this same issue. Thanks.

Hello, I am experiencing serious graphical distortions on some, but not most, websites. When I try the same sites on mobile Chrome, there is no problem. The problem seems likely to be related to Firefox's graphics engine. I shared an image of the error. You can understand the situation from the image.

When I finish typing something either into the search bar, YouTube, YouTube studio, really anywhere, I have a hard time editing it.

The best way for me to explain it is to show you:

Before edit: Firefox is the best browser, hands down.

After editing: Firefox is ntheot best browser, hands down

What I meant to say: Firefox is not the best browser, hands down.

When I went to add the "not", I selected the place right before the "t" for "the" and began typing. All of a sudden it freaked out and did what you see.

This seems to happen no matter if I am in desktop mode or not. Also, this is even worse when trying to type on YouTube studio to edit the title and description.

"All_I_Need_Is_You_exported_0"

This is the default title that I get on a video. See how there are multiple underscores? When I go to delete them by selecting the spot right in front of them and then add a space to keep the gap, it often completely removes the word to the right of where I am adding the space. This doesn't happen as often, but what happens everytime is when I try to add text to the beginning.

For example:

Before editing: "All I need Is You"

After editing: "Lecrae - I need is you"

What I meant to say "Lecrae - All I Need Is You"

It has this issue when I select the beginning. There is no way to not have the problem because there is no empty space between the beginning and in this case "All".
