Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello!

I would like to report a UI display issue in Firefox for Android, version 153.0.4.

In the tab overview, the bottom bar displays the tracker-blocking information in Russian as “заблокировано 6 трекеров” (“6 trackers blocked”). However, the text does not fit in the available space and partially goes behind the three-dot menu button on the right, so the text is cut off.

I have attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Please check the layout and positioning of the bottom bar elements to ensure that the tracker-blocking text is fully visible and does not overlap with the three-dot button.

Thank you!

I have selected 'Dark/Auto' in my customization settings. I assumed this setting was meant strictly for the Firefox app UI theme, not to automatically force dark mode onto web pages. However, the issue now is that websites are being forcibly rendered in dark mode. I actually appreciate forced dark mode because it renders images and colored text cleanly without messing them up. The real problem is that I can't seem to find any option to turn it off. When I try enabling dark mode using a website's own native toggle, it displays inverted/negative colors, whereas light mode works properly. So my question and issue come down to this: how do I disable the feature that automatically forces dark mode on the websites I browse? (I haven't been able to find this setting anywhere.)

Description: In the mobile version of Firefox, the top browser toolbar containing the address bar does not hide when entering text into a text field. As a result, a significant amount of screen space is taken up, especially when the on-screen keyboard is open.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a page in Firefox on a mobile device. 2. Tap any text field. 3. Open the on-screen keyboard. 4. Start entering text. 5. Observe the top browser toolbar containing the address bar.

Actual result: The browser toolbar with the address bar remains visible while entering text and does not hide.

Expected result: When text input begins and the on-screen keyboard appears, the top browser toolbar should hide to provide more space for the content and text field.

Environment:

- Browser: Firefox for Android - Version: 153.0.4 - Device: Mobile IQOO Z10 - Screen orientation: Portrait

Attachment: A screenshot demonstrating the issue is attached to the report.

Additional information: The issue occurs specifically while entering text: even though the on-screen keyboard is open, the browser's top toolbar remains visible.

I have animations disabled in Android, but Firefox seems to not honour it as of 1-2 days ago. When I close a tab (viewing tabs, swiping left/right on a tab) it now does some slow fade out instead of just being swiped off and disappearing like it used to.

I searched through the settings but can't find a way to disable this behaviour.

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I am experiencing a UI/layout issue with Firefox for Android on my tablet.

Device information:

Device: iQOO Pad 5 Pro Operating system: OriginOS 6 HD Android version: Android 16 Firefox version: 153.0.3 Build: 2016176519

The problem is that the regular Firefox version does not use the proper tablet layout on my device. Instead, Firefox appears to use the smartphone/phone layout, even when the tablet is used in landscape orientation. The interface does not make proper use of the large tablet display and looks like the phone version stretched or displayed on a tablet.

The device itself is configured with a smallest width of 820 dp, so Android should clearly recognize it as a large-screen/tablet device.

Interestingly, Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 works correctly on exactly the same device. Nightly displays the proper tablet-optimized interface and makes appropriate use of the full screen.

Therefore, this appears to be a difference between the current stable Firefox release and Firefox Nightly rather than an OriginOS limitation.

Could you please check whether the tablet UI improvements/fix present in Firefox Nightly 155.0a1 are expected to be included in a future stable Firefox release, or whether there is a way to enable the same tablet layout in Firefox 153.0.3?

I can also provide screenshots showing the difference between Firefox Stable and Firefox Nightly on the same device if needed.

Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone.

Previously, I used [https://letrasdiferentesfnt.com/] to change my font when using an older version of Firefox, but now I can't change my font anymore. What should I do?

When I use Firefox on Samsung DeX, a blank and big box appears under the address bar. This box disappears when I place the address bar on the bottom. Switching back to the top brings the box back. What might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

After the latest update some features like (address/tab bar customisation) are missing or frozen, I cannot now move the address bar to the bottom, which is very annoying and inconvenient. Could you please help me fixing this issue?

A Screenshot is attached.

Firefox will often display itself in light mode when dark mode is active. Rarely the opposite though.

It happens randomly as far as I can tell, but maybe there's a pattern to it somehow, perhaps regarding doze mode?

Would love to know if I'm not the only one, and maybe if there's a way to fix it, or there's a bug report for it already that we can follow for updates.

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.

안드로이드용 Firefox에서 화면 확대/축소 기능을 찾기 어렵고, 글자크기 확대/죽소 기능은 아에 없는 문제가 있습니다.

곧바로 화면 확대/축소 와 글자 크기 변경 가능하게 인터페이스를 개선해 주시고.

화면 확대시에는, 글 입력할 때 갑자기 화면이 더 확대되서 유튜브(Desktop mode) 등에서 동시에 동영상 시청할 시에 큰 장애가 발생합니다.

글 입력할 때 자동으로 더 확대가 안되게 해주세요.

개선 부탁합니다.

I prefer the light mode fire fox browser, as it contrasts with my system's dark mode so I can easily distinguish what I'm looking at. However, Firefox Android's light mode is appearing as black for me. Dark mode works normally, and it's a dark grey. The frustrating thing is yesterday it seemed fine, with light mode being white.

I'm using a IQOO NEO 7 PRO 5G, Android version: 15 and Funtouch OS 15. Firefox Version 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687), GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024 AS: 150.0.1 OS: Android 15 . I was having this problem from the previous version (150.0.0).

I am using Firefox for Android to run YouTube as a Progressive Web App (PWA). As shown in the attached screenshot 1000011880.jpg, there is a persistent red banner at the bottom of the screen displaying "YouTube" and "m.youtube.com". This banner takes up valuable screen real estate, distracts from the content, and ruins the "app-like" experience that PWAs are designed to provide. Request: Is there a setting to disable or auto-hide this bottom security/identity bar? If not, please consider this a formal request/bug report to allow users to hide this UI element once the site identity has been verified, similar to how other mobile browsers handle PWA manifests. I have also attached 1000011881.jpg to show the context of this support request.
