Firefox for Android Support Forum

Hello, The firefox for android doesn't support Webrtc ,but firefoxbeta app of android supports webrtc.I think 3 years back firefox for android provides webrtc,after many updates the important security feature is disabled making it is a unsecure browser such as google chrome.Now even android opera app supports webrtc.why this happens.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S9/Android 10 Build number: Firefox v 99.1.1 Problem: Using Firefox as default browser, the user is failed to get redirected from webview back to app. SDK Version:

Amplify Android v1.29.0

Code used:

The onSuccess Action of Amplify.Auth.signOut is finishing but the webpage “dismiss” is not being triggered

Function call (image)

Has this issue been seen elsewhere? Is there any configuration that needs to be set to allow callback/redirects?

Before Firefox for Android v100 it was possible to show only pinned sites in the top sites section in the home screen. Now alongside my pinned sites (currently 3) there are 2 rows of 4 sites and 2 pages. All these other sites are pages related to my work, full of test URLs, 500 or 404 pages... and so on. How do I revert it to the old behavior?

Following question asked by petitechisa 7/31/21, 3:24 PM answered but not solved, by jscher2000 - Support Volunteer, then archived.

"Don't like PWA, please bring back 'add to homescreen' bookmarking/shortcut option."

I have the exact same problem as the poster, but only in last month or so. "Shortcut" doesn't open in normal browser (what's a PWA?) and page doesn't have a menu/URL bar, so useless. Normal app either gives "Add to Home Screen" or "Install" option, but both result in PWA (I guess), not a shortcut which opens in app. i. e. menu option irrelevant. Not happy (Just been reading a GitHub stream on the subject - deliberate Mozilla choice! Nobody likes PWA, get rid!!!)

Hi. I have identical problem like this post:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1313779#question-reply

When i download some files jpg, pdf... I have "download error" and only when site requere http. When site works correct on https then no problem. This bug is in all Android Firefox, pc Firefox worls correct.

When I used to open to the homepage, I would only see my pinned sites, but now my browsing history/most visited sites are added next to my pins. It goes away when I delete my history but there's no way to remove it completely (they just keep coming back when I browse again). The help section for this is also incorrect as there is no slider in the settings anymore to turn it off.

Also: when I go to the homepage I can no longer access my tabs/settings? I have to visit a site for these to pop up in the top right corner.

I used to have bookmarks and other sites I've pinned to the home page on firefox android.

Now every page I visit is showing? Not just the site, but every page on that site, every search result. It's just junk pages filling my home page.

I'm hoping this is a bug and not some attempt to decide for me what I want on my home screen. It's really frustrating.

The only way around is to clear history on exit - but history is used - i just dont need every page i see being on my home screen.

(also the language at the bottom doesn't allow me to choose my language - English - ENGLISH. I don't speak US english.)

Before a recent update, I had my xnew tab page" set up the way I wanted it, so it only showed a few pinned bookmarks and nothing else. After the update, my new tab page is now showing items from my history after my pinned bookmarks.

I have the "recently visited" toggle turned off in "customize homepage", but they're still there.

So, how do I get rid of this clutter?

I can get the sync to work on my laptop but when it comes to the Android box, it just keeps spinning [ blue circle ]. It states on the laptop what devices are syncing but I cannot sign in onto the android because it takes me to no page... just spinnnnnnnning! *sighs* Why can't you guys just leave Firefox alone and quit making all these changes. If anyone has a better browser idea, let me know.

Recently (version ~100) sites that I visit are being added automatically to my homepage as shortcuts. I've tried all different options under Settings -> Homepage but no matter what it adds them.

Attached I have a screenshot of my settings. The only two sites that should appear on the homepage are the 'Resnet' and 'WRGA' but whenever I browse it adds the additional sites and I have to keep going back and deleting every single entry one at a time.

This is a new issue for me. I don't have any plugins installed. I have tried clearing FF cache, data, and even reinstalled. I also tried disabling FF sync.

This is a question I found posted a few years back and was hoping there has been an update in the last few year "Why can't I find autofill under settings? I have to manually fill in my information each and every time. I have followed the instructions by going to Settings and then to choose Autofill but there is no Autofill or Lockwise option. Thx"

Everytime I'm typing www adress on my android smartphone it appers on new card. In the end of a day it result many unnecessary open cards. Is there a easy way to solve it?

Hello,

I’m encountering the exact same issue as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1285325

The topic was archived and marked as solved. For me it clearly isn’t. Am I the only one?

Thanks.

I’m using Firefox Daylight 100.1.1.

Version 100 is a battery and data drain, impossible to use! At least: turn off settings bar auto hide so we dont have to close app and delete cache/app data non stop!

Hi all, in Firefox for Android (in the following I will always mean "Firefox for Android" when mentioning "Firefox") 78 it was possible to store login credentials, which were used to authenticate on a web proxy. The web proxy is a "squid" web proxy with enabled user authentication.

With Firefox 91 (I have not determined since which version exactly the behavior was changed, we "jumped" from Firefox 78 to 91) the web proxy asks for the login credentials and the authentication itself is working, but Firefox 78 would prompt the question, whether the user wants to store the credentials. This prompt will not be shown in Firefox 91. Additionally I have tested Firefox 98 and 101, there the prompt will be shown and the credentials will be stored (I can look the credentials up in the Firefox Password Manager), but they will not be "auto-filled" when accessing the web proxy again, after closing the Firefox.

My questions regarding this issue: Does someone know patch notes, where this behavior is mentioned? Does someone know, if this is on any "Mozilla Buglist/Featurelist"? -> before the hint will be given "use the search" -> Does someone know, what the underlying mechanism is, so that I am able to look it up?

Thanks, I appreciate any hint or suggestion (like raising it as bug/feature or possible workarounds).
