Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox community! today I got issue that could be bug, when I switch to other tab, search something, and get back to first tab, tab refreshes, like for no reason. (yeah i was doing something and all progress lost😭) Soo is it website issue or browser issue?

I have the new VPN feature disabled, but I cannot remove it from the main menu reachable from the url bar (three dots). Even after turning it off, it stays at the top. Please let me remove it from the shelf. It is very distracting.

Maybe the settings page for it could also have a toggle to show/hide the VPN in edition to enable/disable. I tried the nimbus experiments and debug settings but the opt out does not persist.

In the short term, a secret setting would be appreciated.

Firefox on Android still partially has tab groups enabled when you turn off the setting under Tabs -> Tab Grouping. The setting removes the header element in the tab view, but if you drag and move a tab to rearrange, it still shows the nesting animation over another tab and if you drop the tab it still shows the grouping UI. I don't want tab groups turned on. Is there a way to make sure this bug is resolved/seen?

why does the web page reload when on verification pages when switching apps to get code 9n question on mobile Firefox app which denies ability to prove valid user on every secure site I am required to do verification on?

Hello Firefox Help Forums,

I have been struggling with a persistent issue for months now which is hard to fully describe, but simply put when I go to type in certain text boxes on websites, the input will repeat and cut random parts of the words, making it impossible to type anything coherent.

For example: "Hello world this is a test of typing on firefox" becomes: "HHelHH world this is a test of typing on firefoxello"

Backspacing to try and delete the text feels jittery as the letters take a long time to delete and can cause more garbled text to appear.

I have had this issue on multiple devices: Samsung Galaxy A54 5g, Android 16, Fennec 151.0.0 Google Pixel 6A, Android 17, iceraven-2.45.0 AND Fennec 157.0.0

I can replicate this semi reliably on the following specific sites: nekoweb.org/dashboard/editor/[page] (typing anywhere in the HTML editor) teams.cloud.microsoft (typing in the box to send a message)

If anyone has any idea on how I can fix this I would really appreciate it! Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide to help figure this out.

Hello, so. I just moved from Chrome to Firefox recently. My first move was on my laptop which I enjoyed the experience so I had to try out the mobile version. So far the experience has been pretty okay but I have been coming across occasional crashes and the app is sometimes slow generally. I tried figuring out what's going on by googling how to make the app run faster. I deleted all my mobile extensions but the difference wasn't too visible. I still do experience some last when accessing memory hungry website's like Instagram and Facebook. I know I can just have the apps but I prefer to use the website's (it helps me reduce my doom scroll period). But if I'm being fully honest, I think it's because of my phone in general. My phone is a Samsung A16. The phone on it's own has been generally slow so I think that might be the case but I can't say for sure because the frequency of the app freezes and lack in speed wasn't as common when I was using Chrome. By no way am I saying Chrome is better but I'm just saying that Chrome was faster than Firefox. I'm mostly facing these problems on my phone. Who knows maybe it's my phone still getting used to the app. I really want Firefox to work because it's been a good experience overally plus the added privacy and VPN are a great bonus I never knew I needed till now. Anyways I hope this is just my phone being moody and not the app, I am planning on upgrading the phone soon anyways so I hope that will change. But yeah I just wanted to let you know that this is what I'm experiencing, otherwise everything else has been great. I hope someone can help me out.

Have a great day.

The sign in submission form fails for android Firefox but not andriod chrome at: https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/sign-in

There maybe a sight w3c incompatibility issue but it may also be a java script or dybnaic page rebdering issue specific to Firefox.

The forms submission button remains grey and fails to do anything after the forms have been completed. The auto form completion from the managed passwords all works fine.

I utilize the browser for work, and the ability to have tabs in split screen greatly helps me speed up my workflow.

I sometimes am able to work from home, and all I have as an Android Tablet, and it seems the android version of firefox doesn't have this functionality.

Every time I open the browser (firefox nightly for android) it opens a new homepage and I get two tabs, teo homepages. It should open always on the already opened homepage and not create a new one. The only way I could get this behavior is setting the opening page to homepage after 4 hours of inactivity. However that is still not the desired behavior. If I choose opening page to homepage, it should always open on the tab 1 homepage. Never create a new one if there is already one opened.

I'm trying to use Firefox instead of Google but I'm very confused. Do I have to use Google Play store to get the apps I use. How do I switch all of my apps from Google to Firefox
