Firefox for Android Community Forum

Since version 134 of Firefox Android has been out, it crashes EVERY TIME when I try ot use the "back" gesture on my Xiaomi 14(i.e. swiping from right or left side of the screen) I tried Firefox 134, Iceraven 2.27 (also based on the same Gecko) - they act the same. In the same time I also have Waterfox, based in the previous version of Firefox 133, and it responds properly. I guess it is related to the latest version only. Here's the crash log:

I found that everytime the web request a permission, like location, microphone. I click 'allow' button, but it's never work.

But when I click 'dont' allow' button, it's work.

Maybe it's a bug? Please help me check it.

My Firefox for Android is not syncing. I click the sync button and nothing happens, it just says the last sync was 7 hours ago. Is this normal? If there are other related articles, I apologize

When filling out an online form I sometimes need to switch to another app to get info. E.g. to find my bank account number.

However when I return back to Firefox the form often clears it even disappears and Firefox takes me to back to the previous page meaning I have to start again.

This is annoying if I only need one piece of info as I can cut and paste it but if I need two it makes it impossible to complete the form

Is there a setting I need to change?

I just discovered a bunch of installed extensions in the list I don't recognize, including several I definitely would not be interested in.

Is this the way Firefox android works?

I for some reason cannot login into my TikTok account using my Samsung S24 Ultra Cell Phone it says I'm logging in using a Motorola G Stylus. Where can I find the cookies on the Firefox app to remove the cookies on my phone? Just for your information I have no problem logging in on my tablets or laptop. I have contacted TikTok numerous times and they are no help so I thought maybe if I removed the cookies on my phone it might work. Thank You James Lapery *Email removed for privacy*

Android version: 14 One UI version: 6.1 Firefox version: 136.0.2 (also in screenshot) Example link where error is occuring: https://www.npr.org/2025/03/07/nx-s1-5320798/walgreens-private-equity-acquisition

When searching on webpages, the image will look blank with a red box outline, or will have the image and the box outline. This happens whether or not the image is an interactive element. Even after refreshing the page the problem persists. In private or regular windows it happens. After tapping on the red box, the image will load, and usually stays loaded if I leave the page and then come back.

A screenshot is below of what the boxes/images typically look like Attached screenshots

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

Hi, for a while now, Firefox (I have the latest version) hasn't been loading many pages and the "Address not found" message appears. Some pages do load all the time (X.com). I'm using Android 14.

I've cleared the cache and cookies, restarted the phone and the app, and removed privacy settings (Tracking Protection, etc.), but it's not working. Chrome loads without problems, and the rest of the apps load the internet without issue. Can you help me with this problem, please?

Thank you.

Recently switched from a cheap Samsung phone (a15) that did not have this issue, but on my brand new Pixel 9 the address bar almost never responds immediately; I have to mash it for a solid 10+ seconds until it finally allows me to highlight text or type something. Is there a fix for this of some sort?

A cursory google search only pulled up a single reddit thread from about three months ago of someone describing a similar issue but no resolution was given, just a couple commenters chiming in to say they have also experienced this - all Pixel users.

My default search engine is startpage, but I have to type something in and have the search fail, then it takes me to the startpage home so that I can actually search.

My English level is not very good. I use translation software. Please forgive my language mistakes. When restoring from the background, all web pages will be reloaded. When restoring from the background, any web page with the label < header class > will cause the page to jump at the beginning and end of < header class >.

If I browse to http://hackgreensdr.org:8901/m.html The mobile version of the venerable Hack Green WebSDR. I cannot get any sound. This is the whole purpose of this! Note this is a insecure HTTP Not HTTPS website. Need to allow HTML5 I am very surprised there are not lots of request for this.

As above, tablet freezes since latest update, by either Firefox or yahoo. Then I have to open up Chrome, go to same yahoo site to view the stuff I used to watch on Firefox. I'm a stock market trader, a glitch, freeze like this can cost me thousands, so Firefox is now unreliable for trading, where Chrome works. If this will load for you, is what I use, and then klik on one of the stock symbols should take you to a chart. Thanks for an otherwise really great platform, hate Chrome . Seasons Best

I have updated to the latest Firefox version for the Android app, using Samsung Galaxy S20. When viewing YouTube in mobile view (desktop view works though) through the browser, the comment section seem to be invisible and not showing. I have tried fresh reinstalling, and toggled all the settings, but I can't seem to get it to work on Firefox. Other browsers like chrome works just fine. Is this a bug?
