Firefox for Android Community Forum

It's very frustrating to use Firefox as alternative to Chrome. It should be fast and reliable in browsing, which is fitting issues compared to chromium browsers like Chrome, Brave. Thanks.

Hallo Community,

Seid dem neuesten Update von Android schiebt sich das browserfenster nicht automatisch nach oben. Wenn die tastatur eingeblendet wird. Sprich der chat, also das was ich schreibe, verbirgt sich hinter dem tastaturfeld.

Vor dem Update musste ich das auf vielen websiten nach oben schieben. Um das zu lesen, was ich aktuell tippe. Nun kann ich das nicht mehr hochziehen. Und muss jedesmall die tastatur verbergen, lesen, korrigieren.. weiter tippen :/

Meine versuche, die bisher erfolglos geblieben sind: Firefox app neu installieren. Andere tastatur für android installieren. Neu starten vom smartphone.

Das Smartphone hat kaum apps installiert. Ist also ziemlich blank. In anderen browsern habe ich nicht das problem. Ausschließlich in firefox. Und das auf jeder Homepage mit einem chatfenster.

Firefox ist das aktuellste aus dem playstore. Also frisch. Samsung tastatur Samsung galaxy s 23 ultra. Neuestes betriebssystem (update novemer 2025) Wenige apps installiert, wie krankenkasse oder email.

First of all I have seen comments that say javascript is enabled by default in Firefox. Not on my cell phone, Then there are instructions on how to enable javascript in Firefox, that doesn't work either. Cell phone info: Galaxy S20 FE %G, model SM-G781U. Firefox Version 143,0,4.

I can not use the cell phone bill using their app because it tekks me javsscript is not enabled. Cant use Reddit, etc. Any ideas what is wrong?? Thanks in advance

Hello, I think I must be getting confused because when I clock on a link, my Pixel automatically opens in Chrome, which is not my default browser (Firefox is). How do I tell my phone to open links etc. in Firefox instead of defaulting to Chrome, even though I already have Firefox set as my default browser?

Thanks! Nancy Yuen

Hello Firefox Community,

I'm hoping for some help with a persistent video playback issue on Firefox for Android. I am committed to using Firefox for its privacy and its independent Gecko engine, but this performance bug is a major blocker.

The Problem: When I play videos in Firefox, the playback is very choppy and stutters, appearing as if it's running at a very low frame rate.

Crucial Testing Information:

This issue is specific to certain browsers. I have tested the exact same videos on Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, and Ulaa, and they all play perfectly smoothly. The stuttering issue happens in Firefox (and also in Opera).

This confirms the problem is with how Firefox is rendering video on my device, not a network or hardware limitation.

Troubleshooting Roadblock:

I have already tried all the basic fixes (clearing cache, reinstalling, etc.).

I attempted to follow standard advice to troubleshoot this by accessing about:config to check the status of hardware video decoding. However, access to about:config is completely disabled in the stable version of Firefox for Android. This prevents any advanced user-side troubleshooting for performance issues like this.

My Device Information:

Phone Model: OnePlus Nord 2T

Android Version: Android 14

Firefox Version: 143.0.4

Given that a critical troubleshooting tool is unavailable, I am reporting this directly. This seems to be a hardware acceleration incompatibility issue with my device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
