A long time ago it was possible to tap and hold on an image while browsing images and just download them. Now I only have the option to "share" or "visit site". It is very frustrating because I know in other browsers it is still possible to do it, it's a mozilla limitation, not a google limitation. I'm tired of having to visit sites to download images, especially since some sites require you to create an account to use them.

So I am trying to download some large files, but the server I am downloading from are extremely slow. My place doesnt have stable internet connection and during my download, almost 100% of the time, it fails. Now there is a "Try again" button that can continue downloading the file in firefox after the connection is back. When I press the button, it resumes the download from where it was, but I noticed that the files are not downloaded correctly. The file size is noticeably smaller than what it should be, and it is non-functional. My phone uses android 11 custom rom (lineage), but the same issue is also present on an older, stock anroid phone I have. This issue has been present for at least half a year and I dont know a solution. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Simple need, directionally challenged. check/get Update

I have seen directions on this site on how to update FireFox but I can never seem to get to the 'about page'. I know it has to be simple, but it really does seem to be missing from Help link. I am pretty be sure this is operator error.

The main reason for this is it that I regularly get notices that my Firefox Browser is out of date/needs updating. I have had the auto update switch turned on, I tried to find the page with it off, most recently.

I've been a fan and user of Firefox a few years now...you all do an awesome job keeping it running stable and fast, Thanks ~BH

Please provide an option to download an apk for firefox browser directly from your website. You claim to value privacy, yet the only "official" way to install the app is through Google play, which I find at the very least simply ridiculous. It is already frustrating to use (and create!) technology in a world dominated by few corporations that ship "passable" software that is deemed acceptable. You have an opportunity to lessen that frustration. I do not wish to use Google Play. Neither am I able to use it without flashing my device. I do not wish to go through extra hoops to install a browser. I understand that you will have to provide multiple apk files for different architectures. An educated user will be able to work through it. An uneducated user may use Google Play or some other third party alternative that ripped the apk from Google Play. Please be reasonable in achieving your stated goals.

So i have the new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, never had a tablet until now. Why is there no tablet mode variant of firefox? I LOVE the use of extensions and it's my primary phone and desktop browser, but all the other browsers, duckduckgo, chrome, samsung internet, brave, and opera have tablet modes with a bookmarks bar, full tabs, and defaults to desktop user-agents most of the time. And even with Firefox being somewhat usable on a tablet, the scaling on it causes a lot of glitches like the address bar doubling over when you go in to type another search/domain while on a website already.

I'm insanely bummed that I can't use my favorite browser that has everything i love on my tablet because they just haven't optimized it in the slightest for the large scale experience.

So I'm currently trying to download and switch my browser on my Motorola phone to Firefox because of the newest Google tracking news, but I'm having problems. Everytime i try to download both Firefox or Firefox Focus itll go all the way to 100%, but then jump back to exactly 37% on both. this is repeated and I've been trying for about 30 minutes to figure this out. I'm hoping it's just Google play [removed] with it but i don't know. help?
