If I visit a website that supports OpenSearch, how do I add it as a search engine?

The article Use gestures in Firefox for Android says I can long tap on a Web Address to add a site as a search engine: however on Android 10 this only gives me the standard "Open", "Cut", "Copy", "Paste", "Share", and "Read aloud".

Manage my default search engines in Firefox for Android has a section on adding a search engine, but it is cumbersome (manually adding the URL and "%s" for the query string). Plus it then lacks useful features of the OpenSearch standard, e.g. displaying an icon.

When the "Google Search Fixer" addon is installed and the "Pull to refresh" gesture is enabled, I am not able to freely scroll up on the search results page. After scrolling animation finishes, if I try to scroll up, the browser thinks that I want to refresh the page, therefore the input is sank.

I love the way I can customize my Firefox on my Linux desktop. Not so much on my Android phone.

F.ex. I never use the home button, but open new tabs all the time. Would be nice if I could replace the home button with one that opens a new tab

Hi, This is more of a feature request than a question. I know, that the nav bar of Android Firefox auto-hides, as soon I scroll on a website. But what about non-scroll sites or fullscreen sites? On those I have a perma-nav-bar, impossible to hide and impossible to use the full screen. I always need to use a different browser specially just for that. Thats super annoiyng.

Is there any chance, to get a solution for that?

We need support added into the firefox mobile addon ecosystem for adding new permissions from and for our addons. Currently my issue is that MAL-Sync cannot add new permissions for the new websites and ones with changed domains which in my case happens to be the latter. I already tried uninstalling the addon and reinstalling it but to no avail. The add permissions button in the addon also does not work because the support for it in Firefox mobile does not exist like it does on the desktop counterpart. I am on Firefox beta currently. On the desktop when clicking the add button a little bubble would pop up asking to add permissions for mal-sync for whatever sites had support added. Please add in this functionality.

Hello Everyone and thanks for helping.

I recently migrated from Brave to Firefox and noticed that whenever I try to use the android back button it brings me back to the home screen instead of to the last page I was at. Is there any way to make it just go back a page instead of to the home screen?

Thanks!
