Firefox for Android Community Forum

As the title says, I got a problem with Android version of Firefox that sometimes on some webpages it just hangs and doesn't load the page at all. While it's hanging there if i try to open extension settings it doesn't even load that, just opens blank page. Only way around it is to close tab and try again later. Sometimes i can just close tab and on next try it works, sometimes it just doesn't. I've had same issue with PC version of Firefox and it seems to be fixed after disabling HTTPS over DNS. On Android I've tried changing network.trr.mode to 5 but with no luck. Also ive tried disabling extensions and changing some options but whatever I do it just still keeps happening. Btw its a new install after years of not using Firefox, perhaps because of the same issue.

The browser itself works in 120 Hz, but if you open any page, the phone switches to 60 hz. However, if you open, for example, the keyboard, 120 Hz is enabled again. This makes using Firefox uncomfortable. I have attached screenshots that show my problem.

I'm using Firefox Nightly 130.0a1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. When I open a video in fullscreen and it rotates to landscape, there is a large gap between the video and the edge of the screen. Interestingly, this gap is affected by the setting "Customize -> Address bar location" - If the address bar is set to appear on top the gap is on top, and if the address bar is set to appear on bottom the gap is on the bottom. I've included screenshots from both settings. This happens on both YouTube and Dailymotion, so it is a browser issue and not a site issue.

When I fill out and submit a form on Firefox for Android, the data doesn't appear as suggestions the next time I fill out the form. However, it works well on the desktop version, where I get suggestions like my first name.

Hello, I've been having issues with the Firefox app on my Android ever since the most recent update on 4th of July. Whenever I tap the "tabs" button, the tabs viewer opens as always, but if I try to scroll and browse the tab, or if I try to close any of the visible tabs, the whole app crashes. Because of that, I can only switch between tabs by swiping, but it can be annoying if you're used to using many tabs like myself. I have cleared my cache multiple times and it didn't help. I am not too tech-savvy but is there any way to fix it? Thank you!

i really need to PERMANENTLY DISABLE the infernal, default auto-refresh session on return to already opened tab. tyranny of the default on Android.

if/when i want to refresh that session, i'll do so MANUALLY.

i want this, not only in alpha, but beta & standard, too. so, it just can't be buried in about:config, which is nanny-state removed from standard. it must be exposed in UI Settings.

i'm not the first or only to request this.

Hello,

I'm not able to upload files to certain websites using Firefox on Android.

When selecting a file for the phone's file manager, the file upload simply not starting.

However, Firefox on iOS doesn't have that issue.

Firefox version used is the latest one and it is the one from Google Play.

Tried another browser and it works great.

I have disabled navigation toolbar as soon as it was turned on, as it wastes a significant amount of screen height to expose controls I need rarely enough I prefer them in the menu. Suddenly, pull to refresh has stopped working, unless I go and turn navigation toolbar back on in secret settings, which is frustrating, as I need it more without navigation toolbar and might in theory need it less if I was inclined to use navigation toolbar. Screenshots of corresponding settings pages, but I can't show a gesture not working in a screenshot.

Can anyone please let me know how to navigate to astro.com again? Suddenly, since Monday, Android Firefox has been unable to find/load it; it's never happened before in my experience.

I can't sign in to my GTB accounts with my password. The error message has always been like this:"connection is insecur" What can I do to allow me have the benefits of accessing my GTB accounts.

Hi. For the past few months I have been unable to play any samples from the Audible website in Firefox on my android phone. When I click the word "Sample" Audible opens up a new tab with their Web player and I always get an error message that is just a rectangular box with an exclamation mark inside a triangle on the left side of the box. (Screenshot attached.) There are no words inside the box and the only option is to close the tab. Since there is no actual message I'm not sure what the problem is.

Here's a link to the page visible in the screenshot: https://www.audible.co.uk/webplayer?asin=1445081911&contentDeliveryType=Unknown&isSample=true&ref_=a_pd_jpp_cloudplayer_1445081911&overrideLph=false&initialCPLaunch=true

Playing samples used to work fine when you could play them within their web page before Audible changed its system. I seem to be able to play samples on Audible's Web player in Chrome, but would prefer to keep Firefox as my default browser. I have tried deleting all history, cookies and cache; closing and reopening Firefox; turning phone off and starting again after an hour. I've also tried enabling autoplay, but that made no difference. I was thinking that the issue may be with my other settings within Firefox, but I can't tell. Any help you can provide would be great. Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

(I'm in the UK. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I don't see a UK specific forum. Thanks.)

For many weeks now whenever I go online, I have used Firefox for years and years, from my home page at Google to every website I search the language comes in as Danish. I speak and read only English. Regardless what I have researched, changed, updated, and un-installed the language starts as Danish and forces me to translate to English. Thus is ridiculous! Never have I had this problem until recently and I truly do not appreciate the extra time I must take to translate or perform the functions listed above which lists waste my time and makes me really think about my years of using Firefox. Why is this? Why does it not stay fixed? What does Firefox need to do to correct thus permanently? Why should I remain a customer if Firefox can't or won't fix this problem?
