‘I need Firefox Browser on my Huawei Tablet. Mozilla keeps showing me links to Google playstore that is restricted for Huwawei devices. How can I get Firefox onto my tablet?’

I am already a long time user of Firefox on this, my PC

I tried the link to the Firefox in the Huawei App store but it is effectively dead with no options to download the browser

Thank you for any suggestions!

When using a mobile phone to access some web pages,I use the background to open the webpage, and it will still ask me. want to open this webpage in the application?Can it be like Google browser?If I choose to open the webpage in the background, don't ask me if I open it in the application.It would be nice to open the webpage directly by default in the background.This frequently asks me to open the application.softwareIt has seriously affected my web browsing experience.

Any time I use Firefox on my Samsung S20 FE Android phone, and bring another app to the foreground or even access another app from the browser (for example, to load an image onto a web page), the browser refreshes and the web page in the foreground resets. This happens even with Battery = Unrestricted set for Firefox. Is there any else I need to do?

Here I use the QR code scan technique to allow login to firefox on Android phone It does not work if I have 2FA enabled

Already logged on to laptop firefox where I goto firefox.com/pair I hit I already have Firefox for mobile -> Continue laptop firefox now shows the QR code

On android I want to login to firefox so I goto Settings -> Sync and save your data I hit Ready to scan

On android it says Confirm paring On laptop firefox it says Enter security code

its not clear which I do first I have tried either next so pages should give guidance here

On android I hit Confirm pairing it says Approval now required

On laptop it says Enter security code so I launch my android authentication app and lookup firefox and enter code into laptop and hit Confirm Yes, approve device it says Device connected ... You are now synching with Firefox on Android

On android it says Unexpected error

Please fix ... above steps probably work if account does not have 2FA active however it fails for us who have enabled 2FA

I have a LAN Controller which I used to use from more than 7 years. Its small server has a http interface, listening on a specific port, offering the possibility of setting the device and control some other devices through it. This controller is also able to send mail messages in case of some defined inputs, it let me see the rooms temperature, I am/was able to start and close the heating system(s) (powering ON/Off some relays) and some more. I used to have a small shortcut icon on my mobile phone and accessed the above mentioned interface almost daily. Now I am not able do do it, anymore. My mobile phone only opens https URLs. I am able to access the controller interface through Windows and I do not on my mobile phone. When try it, the phone displays: "This site can't provide a secure connection mydomain.....ro sent an invalid response ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" Somebody suggested installing of Mozilla Firefox and get use of its HTTPS-Only Mode facility. I installed the application and HTTPS-Only Mode was Off as default. I tried connecting to the mentioned http URL, but nothing has been solved. I proceeded like here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-mode-firefox-android When I try accessing that http URL it displays: "Secure connection failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." The single option is a `Try Again` button. Pressing it determines the same return.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to also make some preliminary settings specifically related to the respective URL? Or something else?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I've been facing a problem in Firefox that has been going on for about 5 years: the multimedia keys on my HyperX alloy Core (membrane) keyboard only work ~33% of the time.

Problem details: - In other browsers (Chrome, Edge) and programs (VLC, Spotify) the keys work perfectly. - The problem occurs specifically in Firefox, regardless of the OS or driver version (I reinstalled Windows, browser, updated drivers). - I've tried the following solutions (without results): - Updating Firefox to the latest version. - Disabling all extensions. - Resetting the browser settings. - Updating HyperX software/drivers.

Additional information: - OS: Windows 11 latest update

- Firefox: Latest version instaled

I keep getting Japanese language on searches. This started while I was in Australia in October. If I'm on WiFi it searches English but on cellular it searches Japanese the tries to translate to English.

I removed and reinstalled, all my settings are set to English. This is the only app doing this. I'm currently not using any VPN either

I have two issues using Mozilla Firefox on both my Android phone and my PC. Running the browser on either device with or without extensions or any security like antivirus running gets the same results. The first issue is that blocking audio and video in site settings rarely works especially on news websites and always on msn.com the videos auto play every single time. This issue has been ongoing for a very long time and I have reported it repeatedly and looked at the Mozilla support pages never finding any results or mention for the problem. People like myself block auto play to help save data usage. The second isssue has to do with search settings and duckduckgo ai assitant. Everytime I close the browser, again on both Android and PC, the search settings reset so that duckduckgo ai assistant is active the next time I open the browser and all of the search settings under the settings button on a search page reset. The only way I could think of to prevent this from happening is to uncheck site settings in the list of options for deleting browser data amd deleteing browser data on quit. This has no effect at all. Firefox has become less and less functional over thw oast couple 9f years and it really feels like Mozilla has no longer any interest in the privacy of it's users or even running a browser who's features actually function. Most of these settings are hidden and they all falsely indicate that a users choice of settings are being respected. I trying to report these issues one last time but I really don't feel that any big company has any respect for their users any longer amd the experience is more than just frustrating it adds greatly to the impression of zero respect for a products users. A fix would do wonders to begin rebuilding the trust of users in pretty much every single product out there as none of them are interested in providing any real support any more. I used to train people to do tech support and these days it is simply non existent.

Every time I open Firefox, since recent update, the keyboard opens on the lower portion of the screen, below my Shortcuts. Additionally, it places a camera icon over the 3 dots (...) so that I can't access my Bookmarks. This is very annoying, because I have to remove the keyboard before I can proceed. How can I permanently prevent the keyboard from intruding on my Home Screen on Android.

I use Firefox app on my samsung and the browser it's great, I'm logged in and in sync w my laptop, all my tabs are kept, but every other day or so when I open the app it's acting like I just installed it, I get some kind of "get started" pop up and my browsers set back to light mode and no wallpaper. It's a minor thing but changing it constantly back to dark mode and setting a wallpaper is getting really annoying. I've included screenshots of how my homepage looked before, what it now keeps resetting to, and that introduction pop up I also keep getting. The app is up to date and I have no other issues, just this increasingly annoying one.

Videos from AcharyaPrashant.org are broken since past week and not playing on firefox Android, I've attached a screenshot of the same. But videos from the same website are playing well on the firefox beta app.

How can I find more details for the tracking protection settings. I'm not sure if the setting is on if it means I'm saving the activity data or if I'm actually blocking the websites from saving my activity. I'm trying to actually buy up a back up extension that shows me all devices connected to my accounts and all the history even the encrypted sites, links, and photos. I need help finding out what someone else is really doing with my account including applying for cards, hiding chats, and using my phone to send emails back n forth that look like spam or links from apps but are hidden accounts
