I have 'synced' my old phone. Now I have new phone with a Firefox that I used for setup, which has a few open tabs and maybe a couple b9kmarks. I want to 'restore' everything fromthe old Firefox to the new. What happens if I 'sync'?

My guess is 'sync'ing the new firefox merely backs up its current state...

Performance Challenges with IRONFOX Browser: Seeking Solutions?

I’ve been using the IRONFOX browser, which is the successor to Mull Browser. While I appreciate its privacy-focused design and open-source philosophy, I’ve encountered performance issues. The browser is significantly slower compared to Chromium-based alternatives. Website loading times are extremely long, and overall responsiveness feels sluggish.

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced similar issues with IRONFOX. Are there any solutions or optimizations that could improve its performance? I want to stick to privacy-focused tools, but the speed difference is making it challenging to use as my primary browser.

Maybe my phone gas issues but I have been using Mozilla for so long, I have acquired many bookmarks. I can't save anymore because mu list is so long & tiresome. It nees a drop-down tab to better organize. Might I also suggest a way to alert owners that there is a page they haven't seen in a long time. Also an organizer that is automated.

Exhausted looking at my list.

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks

Previously, picture in picture worked as intended, with hitting the home button playing my videos no problem. Now, at least on YouTube, it displays the box where the video should be playing but instead of playing, it just shows the top of the web page. The video does not play, it remains paused no matter what you do. It doesn't seem to affect every website, as I tested it with the iMDB video player and that worked without a hitch. It makes YouTube unusable in picture in picture. This started a few days ago, and no matter what I try, I have been unable to resolve it. I've included an image of what the issue looks like over a game, but it looks like that no matter which app you're in.

Always automatically refresh the page

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

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.

I simply cannot open the file location and have absolutely no clue where it is located. Idk why it's not on download folder sorted by date, all it prompt me to do is open the pdf with whatever pdf viewer and there are absolute no other way to know the path, thus impossible to import it later on my Dropbox app
