Firefox for Android Community Forum

Ever since a recent update the Firefox app for android has had issues with text input for me. It's only Firefox, nothing else on my device has this issue, and it makes inputting text a huge hassle.

It often seems like the cursor randomly will move into a word even if it shouldn't, or it will trigger an auto-complete partway through typing a word (despite me having this disabled). It especially seems to happen if I go back to correct a word that had a typo or if I'm typing something with a hyphen, so "level-headed" will become something like "level-level-head-lehvel", as if it's repeatedly trying to autocomplete from different parts in the word.

This seems most notable if I access sites that I have saved to my homescreen for easy access (such as Tumblr, since I don't use the app), but seems to happen at random in general.

It makes text input pretty frustrating, which is a probem since that's a primary thing I do online.

Hello.

My problem is exactly what the title says. After I clear my history, Firefox still suggests me websites (not in my bookmarks). In the settings, when "search browsing history" is enabled, I get suggested some websites I used in the past even after clearing all time history. If I disable "search browsing history", then only the websites are not suggested. I already cleared everything like site data and cookies, all time browsing history etc.

I've attached 2 Screenshots: First screenshot is of the "search browsing history" setting. Second screenshot is of the search suggestion. There are 2 markings which mean: 1. (Main Problem) The suggested website by Firefox, which shouldn't appear after history cleanup. (It doesn't appear when the setting is off.) 2. This suggested website is different and in my bookmarks and is not a problem. (I am only mentioning it because I know the concerning website is not in my bookmarks.)

I use same sync account for Windows and Android and I don't have this problem on Windows. What should I do? Thank you for your time.

For android tool bar there is a customized shortcut menu to use as e. G. new tab, translate etc... Can add extensions to this menu? It's annoying to keeping going to menu to activate extensions

I changed my password, and now when I try to sign-in to my account on the Android app, I keep getting unexpected error message with both password sign-in and qr sign-in.

I believe someone has access to my phone thru Google account and sees changes of passwords. Can I use Mozilla browser to change Google password here without seeing Google password changes

Thank you

Firefox is my Standard Browser and worked fine until today. Now I'm forced to choose between Chrome and Samsung when I User a link from an Email. The link doesn' t work until I change my standard to einher one of them. Hier can I set Firefox as a standard to open links? In the settings Firefox ist the standard browser.

Trashed phone, upon restore, all home screen and all Firefox bookmarks gone, can't recover shortcuts on home screen

Samsung says "app does not allow backups"

I can't get into Google Play to access the app, unless I want to do facial recognition or other stuff. I can't see Fennec on the Mozilla website. I just want to start using it as soon as possible. Currently on Brave and now I understand Chrome controls that.

Thank you.

i am currently combining through my password manager as i stated to notice entries for "idownloadfast" "hideme" and "lockwiperandroid" and found an entry that seems to be for a Firefox extension? "moz-extension://336ba9e4-ebe5-4f93-a935-0e41204e5a33" when i open it i get code that looks suspicious, and i don't see anything that says what the extension is. but it has my email and a password saved in the entry. i can copy pase the code, if it isn't against policy. i already know whatever is going on with my devices security its not limited to a single account or service. but any information would be appreciated. i change my passwords, check connections, and keep two step authentication on for everything.
