The firefox app always rotates to landscape mode if I turn my phone. I can find a setting that locks the screen for the phone itself, and it appears to stop other apps from rotating, but firefox doesn't seem to care if I have screenlock set to on and just keeps on rotating.

For many, many years Firefox has been my default browser. Even now, when Mozilla has ruined the Android version I have persisted, but it's got to the point I have to give up. Several weeks ago I visited Paris for six days and now Google in Firefox for Android has decided I'm French. Everything in settings is set to UK English and locale to current, in both Firefox and Google. On my laptop everything is fine, but on my phone all google results (although in the English language) are from France and shopping results in Euros. I have deleted the app, I have cleared the data, I have re-installed multiple times, but nothing has worked. All other browsers work fine, with the correct results from UK and in pound sterling, but in Firefox for Android it's France and Euro's. Is this some mind experiment?

I'm not sure what category this falls under, but Android is missing a critical feature: the save for offline viewing option, also known as the download page for offline viewing. Other Android browsers, such as Chrome and Samsung Internet, have this feature, but Firefox does not for inexplicable reasons. This should have been one of the first features added to the browser when it was released for the OS. It's been over a decade and this hasn't been resolved; what are you paying your programmers for if they can't integrate such a basic and necessary feature that everyone uses and requires? Please listen to the people.

Ok so my Firefox automatically updated and I never has the sync bs enabled so all my bookmarks have gone (thanks Mozilla)

No 7 of my add-ons "aren't yet supported" seems the cheap brown Indian programmers dropped support for these plug-in without which Firefox is rubbish.


Firefox was supposed to be all about user protection and data protection etc, now it seems like I will have to go and download the older previous version of Firefox from some dodgy APK website. The irony, it's expected when you got an Indian at the helm.


Oh and it would appear the "add image" browse button don't work, are the Indians also responsible for this too?

Man everything these Indians touch gets messed up, including Microsoft windows and office.

Bad styling in installed websites (mobile)

On mobile when you install website aka make a shortcut to it on desktop and then open it the notification panel at the top is white for Twitter and that also makes the text unreadable. It would be great to have just one system default color just like in the browser (on my phone it's a gray color but I guess it depends on the theme). Or maybe even allow you to customize it per shortcut.

You can see that in the screen shot the top of the screen is white - that is the notification panel. Looks very wasteful and out of place. Pitch black would honestly be better for dark mode devices.

Mobile Firefox v. (102.1.1 (Build #2015887771), f61b8e3a3+ AC: 102.0.12, 1566dca4ac GV: 102.0-20220620184213 AS: 93.1.0)
