Firefox for Android Community Forum

Thankfully not too often are web site pages that are grossly out-of-format for my Android phone. Mostly everything is tiny. Yes, I can pinch expand or zoom in but then side back and forth scrolling is required to navigate and absorb the page. Not the optimum result. Very annoying.

I have font adjustments but those result in a similar and distroted page.

One web site option when available was a toggle for windows/cell phone that worked pretty good but it's not always provided. That implies the web site design is the formatting adjustment function.

Is the resultant cell phone display formatting a function of the visited web site, browser, phone device, etc or some combination of those entities settings?

I am sure the option to open pixiv links in native app had been there. Now it is gone. Does someone know why it is like this or how to make it work again?

P.S.: The option still exists for youtube for example

I'm not even in California, much less Sacramento.

Google account addresses Not in California! Locations for search results always shows Sacramento.

FireFox search cashed cleared. FireFox app closed. Phone reloaded.

Not yet Firefox reinstalled. Last time done ALL SHORT CUTS & BOOKMARKS LOST! ANOTHER MAJOR HINDERANCE.

And NO, THERE IS NO GOOD FIX FOUND SEARCHING FIREFOX SUPPORT. NOTHING FROM GOOGLE EITHER. ALL THE SIMPLE LOGICAL "SET MY ADDRESSES". NEED REAL FIX

Having Xiaomi Mi10 MIUI 14.0.2.0 Android 13. Installed official Reddit and 4PDA apps. Firefox v.114.2 shows a button "Open in App" in tab menu when visiting reddit.com and 4pda.to. Firefox v.115.2 doesn't show the button.

Already tried to reinstall Firefox and reset system preferenses of "Link opening" for the apps above. After the last action the button is started to show, but tapping it does nothing.

How can I override the default to connect to a website in HTTPS-mode and enforce a HTTP connection for specific websites, like the configuration server on modems/routers?

Where is the Firefox-for-Desktop option in the padlock menu for the Android version, when it says "Connection is not secure", to turn off "HTTPS-Only Mode" temporarily or permanently for that site?

All I have available, is the in this case pointless "Retry" button and the useless info "This connection has timed out". But nothing at all to force a HTTP-Only connection.

The solution can't be, that every time I need to connect to a website that does not support transport encryption, to have to dive deep into FF's settings and globally disable "HTTPS-Only Mode", and once I am done, go back and enable it again.

So, what is the pragmatic solution on mobile Firefox to add and manage such exceptions?

firefox for android beta version 114.0b7 I have chosen never open link in app in settings. But when I open some pages, firefox still pop up to let me choose, even in private browsing. It seems that the website use another way and try to open apps once the web page is opened. Though Firefox prevent it from opening app automatically. But the popup is really annoying. If user choose "never", It should no longer be opened in the app in any case. I notice that edge and duckduckgo can block it completely. Is it possible for firefox by using extensions or about:config? Thanks！

There needs to be an option to close all open tabs when the mobile browser app is closed. It's nonsensical to have tabs reopen when app is restarted. Memory on a phone is precious and shouldn't be consumed in this manner.

I'm trying to disable my history from grouping related terms together, but there isn't an option under the Tabs setting for the version I have. I cannot update Firefox through Google Play so I'm pretty sure I have the latest version (10.0.1). Is there a fix for this?

Hello, I tried allowing a certain site (work related) to use location services on my phone but Firefox blocks it. I tried manually changing it to no avail. Even deleting site data didn't work. How do I fix this? And is there some way to view my permissions for a site without entering it?

I am sick and tired of Microsoft and their statements like, "Windows 7 is no longer supported". Now Google has joined them with same thing. I do NOT see Firefox doing the same thing. Probably because they are NOT tied to the functionality that Microsoft provides. This paradigm has gone on long enough. What can I do to promote Firefox as the premier Browser for all platforms. For example, instead of syncing my contacts and required to use Google on Android devices. How can we get to the point of being able to use Firefox and ditch Google when I buy an Android phone?

I know this is a feature of Android and/or my keyboard (Gboard), but is it possible to prevent putting a space after a period when typing in the address bar? Otherwise I end up with things like "firefox. com" which gets sent to the search engine. Thanks

Is it possible to customize the notification settings for the MB WhatsApp extension on Firefox? I would like to receive notifications for only certain chats or groups.

In this article, it specifically says "Listen to videos in the background If you minimize Firefox while playing video/audio, it will continue to play in the background, so you can multitask on your phone." I am wondering how to disable this on the newest version of firefox nightly mobile/original firefox mobile.

Hello,

I am wondering if Firefox will help users auto opt out of cookies. By this I mean will Firefox implement a feature that the user can turn on in the settings that automatically deleted cookies that are not needed even if they select that they want to opt in or check the cookies that they are opting into and accidentally opt into ones they don't need to. I believe this could be achieved with machine learning that looks at the cookies that are required by websites and the cookies that are more than what are required. Is Mozilla thinking about adding this future or will it in the future? I believe it could change the industry.

After updating the latest version[109.0a1 (Build #2015916747)], when I enter twitter.com in the browser, the browser will automatically jump to the app, I just want to operate on the browser, what should I do

Hi,

Thanks for your great privacy-focused browser.

Could you add the option to disable built-in root CA? It would be helpful for us to minimize the risk of MitM attack and other security or privacy threats.

Not all CAs are trustworthy. Some are mismanaged like DigiNotar while some others are malicious like StartCom which was used to perform MitM to intercept communications to Google. However, it would be too late when such events are discovered unless we provide a way to prevent it.

As I know, there are still some CAs out there pose potential threats to security. Some even have got EV treatment.
