Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi!

Suddenly the entire UI of the browser has changed. I have a big bar at the bottom of the screen taking far too much space with buttons I hardly ever need. And when I do need them I know where to find them. Thus they need not be as available as that (read: constantly in the way). It's not enough that it goes away when I scroll down as it pops up as soon as I scroll up again, along with the address bar.

How do I remove this bottom bar? The older UI was far better and didn't take this much space.

Thanks!

How do I sync bookmarks? The Firefox "Help" says: - "Tap the menu button Tap Sync and save your data."

I can tap the menu button (Three dots at top right of the screen). A menu appears, but there is no "Sync and save your data".

Ever since I switched my search engine to duck duck go I've noticed that from time to time the firefox app deems to freeze up and either it continues or just crashes.

Any kind of video playback is taking so much time and even if it is playing the video playback is not smooth at all. I have disabled all the extensions, deleted the cookies, using the latest version still things are working the same.

I'm trying to follow these steps but I'm having trouble.

In Firefox open "More Tools" -> "Web Developer Tools" Switch to Network panel Choose "Persist Logs"

Go to the desired web page and perform the requests In the same place as step 3, choose "Save All As HAR" Save the file

Links won't respond to touch , scrolling up and down is fine , all other touch functions are fine , just links and tabs etc won't respond

Any help ? Wasn't like this before

browsing history disappeared through no action of mine! (happened just now) Using Firefox on android and my entire browsing history (which was extensive) just disappeared! CAN I get it back? HOW??

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

Please please please don't fill this browser with AI features.

PLEASE.

It's been so lovely coming over from Chrome.

You have a personality and a reputation here. Why do you want to tarmac over it?
