Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi There has been a change in the settings of Firefox on my android smartphone. Now it is in Arabic and I have no idea where I can modify this. Thanks for your help

Recently switched from a cheap Samsung phone (a15) that did not have this issue, but on my brand new Pixel 9 the address bar almost never responds immediately; I have to mash it for a solid 10+ seconds until it finally allows me to highlight text or type something. Is there a fix for this of some sort?

A cursory google search only pulled up a single reddit thread from about three months ago of someone describing a similar issue but no resolution was given, just a couple commenters chiming in to say they have also experienced this - all Pixel users.

I hope to use the international version of Firefox browser, which can provide me with an offline language pack for Chinese when using automatic translation. Currently, Chinese translation is not supported, and there is no Chinese language pack available among the offline language packs that can be added.

I just searched for a pdf editor on my android phone and it came up with pdf editor instructions....but none of the options appear on my Firefox on android... Why not please?

Recently (a couple of months ago) a "standard" feature shared between Desktop and Mobile suddenly stopped working on my Android, and this cripples the use of many "secure" websites.

We could click-and-hold, long-press, call-it-whatever, the Back button and instead of trying to go back one page Firefox would show a screenful of pages, like clicking the drop-down next to Back on the desktop version. I could click on the bottom link, then immediately hold again and go back another half screen, and in two clicks go back probably 70 pages.

Why has this essential functionality been removed? How do we get it back? Can I roll back to a specific browser version just before it was removed?

This function is so core to my effective use of Firefox that I would choose it over any notional "security" or "stability" enhancements from having a later version.

Examples of why this is *not* a trivial problem--

On a banking or government logged in site, going back several pages (say, to before the login pages) is critical to continue reading the information you were reading when your session timed out (when the alternative is either try to click Back quickly several times but end up at the login page again, or spend half an hour following the obscure links to try to remember how you found the information in the first place).

On a shopping site, having gone to the checkout and emptied your basket, if you need to go back and place a second order for things you've just been looking at but did put in your basket, it is critical to be able to go Back multiple pages to skip over the payment security screens, otherwise most shopping sites either hijack the Back button or get terribly confused whether you want to pay again or why it can't display the contents of your empty basket.

On Google Translate, it's essential to be able to do this to flip back to previous translation attempts, because when you type text at the keypad the silly webpage takes every keypress as a new webpage in the stack, so you often have to go back 100 times just to get the previous successfully translated sentence.

I can't open my Old Gmail because I lost my phone and also my phone number so I can't open it and recover because need the OTP verification.

Please help me what can I do to recover my Google account.

I recently encountered an issue where Firefox stopped working properly, so I uninstalled and then reinstalled the browser. After reinstalling, I logged back into my Firefox account, but none of my data (such as bookmarks, saved passwords, history, etc.) has been restored.

It seems like my account is behaving like a brand new one

It seems like my account isn't syncing properly. Could you please help me recover my previous data?

While in chrome browser (android) when i type something in the address bar like "shah" it gives me suggestions "Shahrukh Khan" also brief intro "Indian actor and producer" as well as associated brief image or when i type "interst" it gives an suggestion "interstellar" 2014 movie as well as a brief image. But this feature is missing in Firefox android. When i type "shah" it just gives suggestion "Shahrukh Khan" as a plain text, i tried multiple search engines but this remains same. This feature is also present in browsers other than chrome, like lemur, kiwi browser, opera etc. How can i get the same chrome functionality in Firefox, or is there an extension that can do it. This is the sole reason that's preventing me to switch my ecosystem to Firefox completely.

In latest version of firefox for android, 138.0.4 (Build #2016091471), when i touch the bookmarks menu an image flashes up too fast to see. I videoed the screen,slowed down replay and found the image is of a folder with a fox inside and the words "no bookmarks yet" which makes no sense as i have hundreds of bookmarks. Its irritating, how do i stop it?

Hi,

The substack pages don't work (cannot like, see my posts, etc). Cannot subscribe to publications. Sometimes a prompt to enable Javascript appears but I couldn't find how to do it.

Thanks

I use Firefox Sync to see my desktop bookmarks on mobile (android) - the latest android update force-sorts all bookmarks alphabetically or time-wise, with no option to leave them in desktop order.

It is now very hard to find what I want in my painstakingly arranged bazillion bookmarks and folders and subfolders and so on...

Please restore the ability on mobile to leave the sort as it is on desktop. At least for the "desktop bookmarks" folder.

Thanks!
