Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have a suggestion and a problem. First, regarding the problem, I use a tablet with a mouse and cannot scroll through tabs using the mouse scroll wheel or tap with the mouse. Second, I have a suggestion regarding the top bar, which I think should be resizable, because on my tablet with a landscape layout, the top bar takes up too much space, especially now that there are browser tabs at the top.

Just got the new update 147.0.1 (Build #2016138271)

Wondering if there is any way to enable opening bookmarks in new tabs without having to menu/long press the link?

I'm pretty sure Firefox made that function by default before this update, and would be nice if they could make that a toggle option rather than wholesale disabling it.

It was actually useful (for me) on mobile. Made it easier to not lose a tab I'm currently on. Now I keep automatically losing the previous open tab with new content, kinda frustrating.

Much thanks for any responses.

EDIT: Nevermind. Update fixed the issue!

As of today, when I drag left or right on the screen in the browser, it tries to switch between next/previous tabs. This happens even if there's a web app I'm using that allows for click-and-drag functionality. I can't find a setting to turn this feature off.

Up until recent versions, I had the option to choose after what duration of inactivity, all open private tabs would close automatically. After the recent update, I can't locate this setting. Moreover, the duration is now not just non customizable, but also random. Sometimes, Firefox closes them in a couple of minutes, sometimes 20, and after more than an hour at other times.

Hello, I have one Android phone with Firefox and many, many tabs open in it. I am going to migrate to another Android and would like to have all those tabs open on the new device. I googled and found Firefox sync. Tried that but on the new device all the tabs are visible in a list of tabs from the other devices but they are not opened ! I would need to go through all of them and then open each (too many to do that manually). Is there any semi-automatic way of having all the tabs from the old device opened (as tabs) on the new device ?

If there is no such way I can alos try low-level solutions i.e.: that requires accessing both phones over USB and copying particular files.

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox (fresh install without extensions), which opens links from an external application (In my case Pepper for the discounts of online shopping) with an additional tab.

Preview in the attachment. Two cards open instead of one. The first tab is additional and empty, the second tab is a valid link.

Is there any way to disable this with the help of flags?

This does not happen in either Edge or Brave

Hello, Maybe it's just me but i feel like i have to spam return on firefox android last update to see the tabs icon. Its kinda annoying for me. I hope its not an intended behaviour. I count 3 press to see the tabs icon after clicking on the research bar. Anyway have a good day. Thanks in advance and happy new year! Quentin

First of all, I hope this is the correct place for this feedback. The release announcement page seems to link here, but I'm not totally sure. If not, could you direct me to the correct location?

After I overcame the initial "hey, I didn't want that changed, put it back" phase, I have to say I really like the new design. Especially the overhang menu (the the vertical dots) is much better.

However, there are a few things, that could be improved, I believe.

1. Make the tabs list respect the URL bar top/bottom setting. That would be great for people like me, who regularly close all taps and usually have only 2-3.

1. The same goes for the tabs within the tabs list (private / synced buttons).

1. The buttons at the bottom of the tabs list (new tab and the vertical dots) feel visually unbalanced.

Thank you, and have a great evening.

PS: please also note that I'm quite confused on what version I'm on now. This page, the browser and the Playstore all say 147, but I have the changes mentioned in the 148 release notes. Is this one of the remote improvements mentioned by the release notes?

Tab management has been changed. Very annoying new UI design.

I can no longer share all tabs with one click.

Please bring back this feature.

Is there a setting to go back to the old behavior?

In which version had this feature?

Where can I download  old version's APKs?

I've been holding on to about 50 inactive tabs for quite awhile now, a couple of them for more than a year. No problems until just a few minutes ago most of them vanished without warning. All at once. What made them disappear, and can I get them back?

No matter what search engine is used, if I click a link or any other buttons (like clicking cast when searching a movie) from the results, it opens the results in a new tab. If I return to the tab with the search results, it creates a new tab and it will do this indefinetly. 1 simple search results in 4+ tabs being made. This is only an issue on mobile and has been an issue for several months. Last week, it resolved itself for 1 search results, then went back to creating a ton of tabs.

I have reset site permissions, deleted site data, enabled "open links in tabs instead of new windows", disabled "shortcut: click and hold link for 1 second".

One way you could help is making a option to split screen two different windows in the same screen simultaneously, that way we can multitask and be more efficient.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

I'm having a problem often, after a search, when I navigate to a result. Within a few seconds, there's a slight delay for processing and I will be back on my page of search results. It just seems like this is happening pretty often all of a sudden.

It seems like there's some reason it wasn't done with the previous page, and it's reloading? It could be a Google script gone awry, for all I know.

Maybe this would be a bug report, but I can't rule out a settings change or accidental touch inputs that cause my browsing problems. This aging phone's speed may be giving it difficulty processing touch input. Maybe the digitizer is being weird and interpreting a touch on the back button. Let me know what you think.

I think it would be more convenient if the list of inactive tabs opened in portions, starting with the newest ones, with an option to open the whole list in case someone needs that. That would allow for better performance and reduce the time spent scrolling to the end of the list
