(Firefox for Android)

When I switch to reader mode, characters such as é, è, à,... (All *very* common in French) appear as � This problem doesn't affect every page, and when it happens, the reader view first appears normal, but then switches font to a problematic one. The affected pages were reached through the internet archive, could this be what causes the issue ?

Is there a way of changing the font used by reader mode to one able to display these characters?

Some more Debug info: My phone and Firefox are both set to English, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. I use a couple extensions, but the issue persisted when I deactivated them on these pages.

I would like to slow down audio playback. My phone's settings will slow it down in settings, but not when I use a chatbot. I'm not used to hearing anyone talk that fast. No, I rarely listen to radio and don't have a TV. I want a sleep story in a voice that is low, warm and older. I welcome suggestions, please explain like I am 5. Thank you 🖐️

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox (fresh install without extensions), which opens links from an external application (In my case Pepper for the discounts of online shopping) with an additional tab.

Preview in the attachment. Two cards open instead of one. The first tab is additional and empty, the second tab is a valid link.

Is there any way to disable this with the help of flags?

This does not happen in either Edge or Brave

Idk how to fix that problep bc its really bugging me out and i am going crazy

Here are the steps that i do to recreate the error

1. open a new tab
2. search up any website
3. on the same tab search up a diffrent website or click on a link on any link that redirects you on that website
4. literally after like 3 seconds firefox redirects you to the site that you were on before

Please how do i fix this cuz I hate it so much plskdjdiehzuzgzuahzjzvzkuzjzvz

I use the NFC on my phone in order to tap onto a bracelet that gives me a daily scripture. It was working but the past few weeks it either doesn't download, is super slow and only may or may not load the whole thing. Once I uninstall and reinstall the app on my phone it works great. Sometimes it may work a day or even up to 3 days, but lately I'm having to uninstall and reinstall daily. Then I have to customize everything again. It is the same with webpages loading also. I clean the cache regularly and I've checked my internet connection and it's fine. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy A52. This is only happening on the phone and although I can't use the bracelet on my laptop, I don't have any issues with Firefox. Should you need any additional information please let me know.

The primary issue I keep running into is that when I consume media within the browser, say browsing reddit or watching movies, the cache seems to fill up quickly to around about 500mb, and the crap hits the fan. Webpages don't load, error messages show up, tabs stop responding and become unusable, videos become irretrievable or buffer continuously, it sucks. I have it set to clear my cache when I quit from the menu but that doesn't work. So every time the app starts having an aneurysm I go into settings, force quit, and clear the cache. Firefox is the only browser I use, but because of this I'm no longer committed to it, I will happily trade it for something better when it comes along. I expect nothing to change.

For the past few weeks, my Firefox app for android has been asking me to rate it in the app store everytime I open it. I've already rated and reviewed it in 2022, so there's nothing more for me to do. I tried editing my previous review to see if that would help but it hasn't. At first, regardless of which option I hit (whether I'm having a good or bad experience), it did nothing and just let me continue using the app. Recently, it's been bringing me to the app store everytime regardless of with option I hit, which is getting a bit frustrating. Is there anything I can do to get it to stop prompting me to rate it?

• Subject:* Content sharing issue on Firefox for Android

• Description:*

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue while trying to share links or content from Firefox on Android. The shared content sometimes doesn’t open correctly or displays incomplete information.

Could you please guide me on how to fix or improve the content sharing feature? Any settings I need to check or update?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Reverted to nightly due to missing the tabs and the extra steps to go to open windows is just a painful "hassle", so it's more an accessibility thing due to my chronic challenges in whole of my body. I would've stayed with plain Firefox but the tab function was removed from the "super secret" settings menu.. I also have a hit and miss on default functionality in FF nightly and I tried to find a feature request form so I don't have to fill up support requests but unfortunately I got directed here. I also like to note that in the "choose a category" list there's no feature request option or an option I can choose for default usage, app related, function related, name it. I choose Download and save because one thing has todo with the use of an external downloader (1DM+) and a feature that can be found in every browsed called "Copy text of link".

So FF Nightly constantly asking me which downloader to use. Why? It's clear I like to use an external downloader and it's counterproductive to answer that question with every download I want to do. These both questions seem to be feature request so I will write it in a way I know because past customers needed to do it that way.

Both feature request are mend for FireFox Nightly Android edition due to lack of tab support in the default FF edition loads of people usr.

Feature request 1: Select a default external downloader and fix this choice as default. What is the scenario and or use case? In FF and FF Nightly you can enable the use of 3rd party downloaders. After enabling this feature FF asks which downloader to use in the event downloadable content is selected within the browser. In this use case 1DM+ (bought through Google Playstore) is installed and used. This works as expected with a big but.

What do you need or want to have changed and why? Every time I select downloadable content FF Nightly asks me which downloader to use. In this use case it's 1DM+ and the FF internal downloader that get presented as options. I like to use my 3rd party downloader indefinitely, so not the FF internal downloader, for all my downloads thus making the repeating question, which downloader to use, counterproductive and unnecessary. The solution lies in "selection functionality" that holds the external downloader as default without questioning what downloader to use after confirming the default downloader.

Feature request 2: Copy link text. What is the scenario and/or the use case? FF Nightly hasn't got the option, while long pressing the text of the link, to simply copy plain text used for the link. If the linkaddress is www.abcde12345.abc and the link text is "press here to get to abcde12345" it's "press here to ....." I want to copy. Chromebased browsers have this option, even other browser give me this functionality so it seems to be common functionality that's missing in FF.

What do you need or want to have changed and why? I need this functionality to give the downloadable file it's logical name because the linktext involves its logical name and the filename of the downloadable file has a totally different naming convention. I paste the copied link text and for example change the filename that's been given to the file from "Bank_123565_XYZ_20251208_1115.pdf" into "Bankstatement AmaWallCost 20251208.pdf". Link texts are in most cases much more logical than generated filenames. FF let me do lots of things with links, images or any other components on the webpage. I can share it, download it, but simply copy the link text is missing. The solution is to add the functionality called "Copy link text" into the menu that pops up when I long press a component, say a link.

Unfortunately it's pretty hard for me to produce screenshots on Android due to accessibility challenges. Therefore I hope my text and requests are as clear as possible. Maybe there are possibilities but all of my questions and the use of tabs have accessibility reasons. It must be apparent why I choose for FF, extensions, privacy. I came back from Brave browser and hoped FF standard had an option to revert back to tabs on screen and not doing 3 or 4 extra steps to get to a certain webpage I've already opened. It really isn't accessibility friendly, that new webpage collection menu with tabs being in an extra list. Swiping from left to right or vice versa doesn't hurts as much as going to top right, look into a list moving up and down and do this every time I need to switch tabs. It's counterproductive as Ibcan arrange most used tabs next to each other to copy info or whatever. Normally it would take some time for me to feel the unnecessary movements but you can get quite busy while parting from a partner.

If there are possibilities, thanks a million for that. If not and these feature need to be assessed and hopefully implemented, thanks in advance.

Best regards, Marty

I have this new issue, that Firefox needs like 3-4 seconds, before loading a page. It stays blank until then. Why has the Performance decreased so much?

Reinstall didnt help

Good evening I am a developer for Missoula and Firefox I've been doing that for the last 6 7 years I've had my identity stolen and Gator and again a data breach and I'm not getting anywhere trying to get help is there a toll that I can download for Firefox the search and delete my private information

Hello. I would like to manage the signets or my bookmarks on my mobile version (Android) on my smartphone. it's impossible to save any signet on the bookmarks. Impossible to reach the modifying, changing location of a signet, in the bookmarks. Any suggestion ? I thank you for your answer.

YouTube keeps requiring me to sign on every time I access internet for anything. I am not using YouTube.

Was hoping Firefox would stop this nonsense But it doesn't prevent you tube from tracking my surfing.

Maybe you can make a patch to stop this invasion of my use of Internet?

Fingers crossed.

On my copy of Firefox for Android, I have had issues with the "Jump Back In" feature, where the preview image doesn't match the site listed in the description. I think it is that the site is the last one used, but the preview is the site preview from the second-to-last site rather than latest. This is confusing. Clicking the link takes you back to the last site visited correctly, so it looks like the preview is the bit that is wrong. After clicking a few sites back and forth, it sometimes gets the preview to show correctly for a while and show the right site, but it always seems to break again and lag behind on the preview again.

See attached image as an example. Description shows Minute Cryptic websitr being last visited (which is correct), however preview shows a Google Search, even though that was second to last tab visited.

Any thoughts or things I can test?
