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'm noticing some inconsistent (and irritating) behavior when tapping the urlbar in Firefox for Android. I have noticed 3 distinct options, either it will highlight the entire url as expected, will only highlight the tail end of the url (after the initial /), or it will not highlight anything.

Is there a setting to configure this behavior?

I downloaded some files while in private browsing. I'm absolutely positive they fully download as I was able to see them in my gallery and set some as a phone wallpaper. After I closed the tab/private mode, all the files were just gone. I do not have the setting to delete on exit enabled.

One file that I chose to delete myself was able to be restored so I was able to see I wasn't going crazy, but all the other ones don't even come up as deleted in Total Commander or anywhere else on my device.

I tried to update Firefox tonight to the latest version and I got a message telling me that it couldn't install the update so I cleared the database and cache and restarted my phone and when that didn't work, I uninstalled the Firefox app and now it says it can't download the app so I'm without Firefox until I can get this fixed.

Experiencing a peculiar issue with the latest version of Firefox for Android where search tabs get duplicated – notably, this problem is exclusive to Firefox and not observed in Firefox Beta. This duplication occurs when searching through the address bar – the first tab is the clicked link, and the second is a duplicate of the search page. Clicking on a link in the second tab leads to further duplications. This problem is more noticeable with Google searches in the search bar, but typing google.com and searching seems to works fine. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that this duplication issue extends to DuckDuckGo and Bing when searching via the address bar. It's a bit complex, as not all search links trigger the duplication, but most do. Any insights or solutions would be appreciated!

Cannot get my phone's default DNS resolver to be used by Firefox. My network has an intranet complete with it's own DNS, which my phone's receives via DHCP. Android 'Private DNS' is turned off. The routing on my network is fine, as evidenced by being able to access my intranet from other mobile browsers on the same device. All add-ons are turned off, as well as 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'HTTPS-Only Mode'. Any explanations, or more importantly, suggestions?

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.

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.

Hello there,

I'm using the browser mainly to watch charts on dexscreener or dextools. As you can see in the attached documents, on opera it behaves as it should. On Mull however, there's nothing you can read. I deleted any kind of addon even tried switching multiple settings in about:config regarding JavaScript .nothing helped. Reinstalled the app,the issue is still there. Any clue what can be done or should I use a different browser for this cause? Will it act the same way for most of the websites with similar requirements? In case it will,I would need to get rid of it. Thanks for the help

I'm trying to go to the URL "http://192.168.31.8:32004". Instead it searches, which of course has no hits. I'm baffled as to why Firefox would search when the address bar contains a valid URL. And no, I'm not hitting the search button. I hitting on-screen keyboard's right arrow, which is my only other choice. I have tried turning off all address bar options in settings with no effect.

The only solution I have found is to use a different browser. Chrome has no problem going to this URL when asked.

Hi, I'm using a Samsung phone which lets you switch screen resolution dynamically (FHD, QHD etc.). It seems that Firefox doesn't respect those resolution changes until you force stop and restart the browser.

Example: set screen res. to FHD then launch Firefox. Everything looks great. After I increase screen res., website text becomes much smaller, as if Firefox rendered the website for the old resolution. After I force stop and relaunch Firefox, everything looks fine again.
