Firefox for Android Support Forum

I have been using the "install as app" feature in Firefox for Android for years. It is a great feature for appifying services that don't have a dedicated app and for getting around poorly implemented stand alone apps. Last night I tried to delete a redundant "app" icon from a web page that I made a shortcut for in Firefox. Apparently removing the shortcut icon via the normal Android UI also completely removed Firefox and all my other app shortcuts that I made in Firefox before. Please fix this bug ASAP if you are able, I understand it also may be an Android thing you can't fix. I have not recreated the bug because it is very annoying to have to reinstall and reconfigure Firefox.

Good luck!

Firefox mobile sometimes zooms in without able to zoom out on all sites. Seems to only happen whenever the samsung app store updates it. for context, i downloaded firefox through google play store but the samsung store for some reason updates the app every now and then. It happened twice so far, and reinstalling it on the play store seems to fix it

For the love of God and all that is holy, make me not pissed off. I have a red star over my Firefox browser icon, yet when I go into it, it does not direct me to what needs addressing. The red star will not go away. Fix your shit. You've also pissed me off further, for the fact that I have to resort to swearing.

Videos will immediately start playing upon loading a page, even with Firefox set to 'block audio and video'. This happens on YouTube and Reddit.

Autoplay blocking only works if the page is opened in a new tab.

Recently, I'm having an issue where the browser page freezes when loading any site showing a blank screen or sometimes when it does load, nothing is interactable in the page meaning it still froze but the app itself still works and can be interacted.

The only way to un-freeze the browser page is to back out of the app without exiting it to device home and open the app again. This needs to be repeated when changing tabs as well.

Firefox has been a great browser on my new S22 however I have noticed recently that it has been dropping my battery percentage extremely fast, and I notice its lower almost every minute I check. This is confirmed in the battery settings menu where it shows an abnormally high amount of usage, when I mainly use Firefox for general browsing and close background tabs.

I open Gmail links and Firefox opens then in a floating window in android tablet. How to fix this? This is really annoying. I've tried unchecking the Gmail open links in Gmail to speed up browsing setting but that didn't work. Firefox is my default browser . I'm on news Lenovo tablet. I installed Firefox and from Day one I have this problem even before changing any Firefox settings. When I change default browser to Google Chrome it works fine . Also on my Samsung phone the Gmail links open fine in Firefox. I'm only having this problem on my tablet. Can anyone please help?

video on websites dont play very smoothly. they are always choppy, and look like they are playing on a really low frame rate. the same os true for youtube, instagram where it is very laggy when any video is played. ps. im on android, cant seem to open about:config area

Firefox android RAM memory usage gets sometimes high. I have no addons and only view tabs. Max RAM usage rises to 2 GB and my phone freezes. Opera always runs smoothly with no problems.

Im using Firefox for Android 122.1.0 (Build #2016001831), 0d66540568+ GV: 122.0.1-20240205133611 AS: 122.0.1

When I browse outlook mail on compose, suddenly it appear very lagging, I not got a chance to write a letter or alphabet, very slowly to type and almos5 hang and consume much memory. This always happen. On other website or open inbox on outlooj mail still fine, but when you in compose page, you experience lagging, even you didnt do anything. Can you fix this?

HTML5 video is becoming very choppy as soon as audio is enabled. The playback is fine before that. Tested across multiple websites.

It was recorded on the beta version but confirmed in both versions.

I have reinstalled the app and cleared the cache/data.

Tab/Page randomly goes blank when opening firefox from recent apps. Page is just black screen, can't be refreshed, also address bar does not works while that tab is focused (clicking enter simply does nothing, it's still only blank page). Only way to fix is close that page and open it again from new tab, of course content on that page is lost.

I see the very noticeable Android navigation bar blink while opening a keyboard from the Firefox address bar. Unfortunately, this bug persist in the Stable, Beta and Nightly Firefox versions both on my Nothing Phone and Pixel 7 Pro.

Firefox is the only app with such behavior on these devices.

Have this issue where when I click on a link for Amazon, it doesn't open the App, but keeps trying and opening new referral link tabs infinitely.

For some reason Firefox doesn't let me run an automatic bug report for submission so in this case, I clicked on a link on a website, which opened a tab with this URL (after report). But then it doesn't open the app, and just keeps opening more and more of the same tab. I stopped it after a hundred tabs opened.

When I use the back button, odds are that it goes back twice instead of just once in my history. This is especially problematic for websites like Reddit, where each discussion is a new page - but two pages ago isn't the reddit website at all!

Firefox for Android has issues playing back YouTube video through my car stereo and some other types of speakers. Specifically, it works fine with my headphones but not through my car.

Chrome, YouTube app, and other browsers don't have this issue and my car is fine otherwise. I've had this issue on 3 different phones from 2 different manufacturers on multiple versions of Firefox for years and the issue comes and goes with updates but it has been an issue for the past few months now, so I know it's Firefox and not Android or my phones.

I have an issue with my keyboard not showing up when I try to type in search bars specifically when the sites are saved as app shortcuts. The keyboard works fine when the sites are tabs within the firefox app but once I save sites as a shortcut and open through the shortcut, the keyboard will appear for a split second and disappear right away.
