Firefox for Android Support Forum

Hi Alls, I downloaded CamScanner old version with Fire Fox for Android when the download was almost complete, I got a message saying that this app cannot be installed, why am I getting this error message? I tried to download it many times but couldn't, help me !! Here is the link where I downloaded the latest version CamScanner from a third party http://example.com

Most mobile sites are of a lower quality than their desktop counterparts. Less features and constant requests to download unnecessary apps are annoying and waste screen space. How do I force the Firefox app to only open desktop sites?

Because when I do the toggle bar it only works for one tab and when I open links to new tabs, it switches them back to the mobile version. Which for some sites that prevents me from being able to read or access things because the mobile version switches to a page that is just a prompt to download the app and clicking the desktop toggle doesn't bring me back to the page I wanted.

I saw there used to be an addon that would have been useful. It's dead now. Is there any useful replacement add on? Any convenient workarounds?

Mozila VPN on Android sometimes appear to automatically turn itself off.

The explanation could be in your settings on Android: Go to settings, - select Apps, - - choose Mozilla VPN in the list, - - - go to Battery and select background Use,

go back to Mozilla VPN in the list, - - - go to Mobile Data, - - - - turn On "Allow Background Data Usage" - - - - turn On "Allow App while Data saver is On"

now your VPN shouldn't turn off any longer.

When restarting your phone the explanation why the Mozilla VPN is OFF is that to keep your security, the app requires re-authenticating with their servers (new encryption key).

Whenever you update Firefox you're lead to a website that lists the changes. It also says you value feedback and recommendations. Yet I've found no way to give feedback, whether in the Android app, the desktop app nor on mozilla.org. I don't seem to be the only one judging by searching support.mozilla.org. Why don't you guys include a standardized way of giving feedback?

I find no option to add addresses when I click Firefox menu bars on top right of my screen. Setting provides no options, there is no preferences header, so I can't proceed.

I'm using Firefox 93 on Macbook air and Firefox 93.2 on Android 11 (Samsung S10). I’ve synced all passwords and logins and can view them on both devices. ‘Autofill in Firefox’ and ‘Autofill in other apps’ are both on. But, when logging in to apps on the Samsung, autofill doesn’t work. Even if I fill in my email address, there is no password suggestion. Instead, a small dropdown message appears: ‘unlock Firefox’. It isn’t active, and doesn’t open anything when I tap on it. Result: I have to go looking for the passwords and fill them in manually. I hope there’s a solution. Thanks for your help

In Android when opening any links from any App, they open in the App. There is an option to disable in-app links in some apps but not in all and it is lengthy to do it one by one. In chromium browsers we can disable them with this option called custom pages (might be called little bit different) where if it is turned off, the apps will open links in browser fully no matter their settings.

Is there a way like this in Firefox? The option called Open Links in Apps does not seem to be working as I have it turned off but it still lets Apps open links in themselves.

i try to login on bahn.de. they redesigned the login-procedure recently. and with the new login it crashes the Firefox tab reproducible on my phone. i get the `Firefox can't load that page` message. on of the crash reports can be found at https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/d3962d01-f863-4f6c-908d-3d4af0211103

i have cleaned up with `Privacy and Security` - `Delete browsing data` (all options set) and also did clean the cash for the firefox app from the system settings.

the url is (i removed the nonce and state values) https://accounts.bahn.de/auth/realms/db/protocol/openid-connect/auth?cancel_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffahrkarten.bahn.de%2Fprivatkunde%2Flogin%2Fidmredirect.post%3Flang%3Dde%26country%3DDEU%26scope%3DCANCEL&showRegisterWithBahnCard=true&kc_locale=de&showSoftLogin=true&scope=openid&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffahrkarten.bahn.de%2Fprivatkunde%2Flogin%2Fidmredirect.post%3Flang%3Dde%26country%3DDEU%26scope%3DRETURN&state=0&showReloginMessage=false&nonce=0&client_id=fe_esuite

the original url was 551 characters long.

my first impression was that the url may be to long.. i tried to shorten it - https://accounts.bahn.de/auth/realms/db/protocol/openid-connect/auth?cancel_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fbahn.de&kc_locale=de&showSoftLogin=true&scope=openid&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffahrkarten.bahn.de&state=0&nonce=0&client_id=fe_esuite (247 characters) this one worked in the desktop browser but also crashes in firefox android. the crash happens latest when i click on the `Angemeldet bleiben` checkbox. on a next try it happened shortly after the loading without user interaction.

Firefox Version: ``` 93.2.0 (Build #2015839745) AC: 93.0.12, e39f5dba3f GV: 93.0-20210927210923 AS: 82.1.0 ```

OS ``` Android 7.1.2 LineageOS 14.1 ``` and yes - i know this is a very outdated OS version...

the main problem is that this login is needed to authenticate in the *db navigator app*.

with some workarounds i managed to do a successful login in the app:

• switch system default browser to the *stock browser* app
• click login button in *db navigator app*
• stock browser opens with login page
• fill in & click login
• stock browser does not know how to handle returned url (example below)
• copy returned url to clipboard
• open firefox
• past url
• open menu and click on *open in app*
• *db navigator app* launches and accepts the login
• i am happy again ;-)

hopefully this is only the case for such old OS versions and this way does not effect anyone else...

are there any other things i can do for better fix the issue in the first place?

Recently my Google pixel phone got the Android 12 update. Since then I'm having issues with Firefox loading websites like Walmart, Sams club, Lowes. It seems to be serving the desktop versions and it is hard to navigate. The toggle switch for "Desktop Site" is off, so not sure why it is showing the desktop site. The attached images show how Walmart site shows in Chrome and Firefox. My firefox version is 94.1.2. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I created my own Add-On, and set checkmarks for "Desktop" and "Mobile" add-on. I am able to install it on FF on Android - Smartphone version 94.1.2 (Galaxy S8). I am UNABLE to install it on FF on Android - Tablet version 94.1.2 (Huawei Mediapad).

How can I install my Add-On "FROM FILE" (.xpi) on my Tablet? Thanks for your help to get this done.

"Autofill in other Apps" selection never appears in the menu for the above set up but does appear in an Android 8.1 version with the same Firefox version of 94.1.2.

The 7.0 Android version never offers a valid saved login for external apps.

The 8.1 Android version will pop up a text box below the User ID entry that says "Unlock Firefox" but selecting the text box does nothing. The same text box also appears below the password box after manually entering the User ID and selecting CONTINUE to get to the Password entry box (but only in 8.1) If you Long Press the User ID or Password box in 8.1 it offers a Paste selection but it's not a UID or Password, just the last Cut item.

In Android 10.0 Long Press on the UID or Password box will bring up an "Autofill" box but it does nothing and does not offer a UID or Password anywhere for external apps.

Something is clearly broken in External App password from Firefox for Android. All the available settings are as they should be set. The Password fill works as it should from the Web Page of the same App entity, say Amazon for example.

So.....whose problem is this?
