So on my phone i have installed mona sans font via miui themes (seems like its not caused by miui themes)

I'm have tried font manager magisk module before and after knowing that it wont really work on my device, i revert to default font and uninstall it

And for some reason the fonts just look like this... (everything works fine)

Is there anything that can fix this?

Tried method: using another version of firefox [stable,beta(current),nightly] Use revert to roboto fonts on miui themes

Chromium dont have this issue

There is temporary fix for it by using font changer add-ons

I want it to fix without usint any add-ons

Website pop-up sound won't turn off in android

This website, and others like it, have pop-ups in the page that firefox plays a strumed-chord notification sound for: https://dcist.com/story/22/12/12/weekday-events-12-12-2022/

I've gone into site permissions and default blocked audio and video autoplay, blocked notifications, everything is set to ask to allow orblocked. The website does not have exceptions. I've tried blocking all notifications in Firefox settings and in my android app permissions for Firefox. Nothing will stop this obvious trill when popups are triggered.

How do I block this noise?

I am running Firefox on Android 13 pixep 6a

107.2.0 (Build #2015918523), 1490acda7+

AC: 107.0.8, e189e99662 GV: 107.0.1-20221128144904 AS: 94.2.2

DuckDuckGo found a Tracker?

Hello, I apologise if this information is already available somewhere, but I just couldn't find it.

I recently installed the DuckDuckGo app on Android 12 (Samsung One UI 4.1) which has a feature that blocks trackers from other apps.

While using Firefox it seems to have found and blocked a tracker simply called "Adjust" (this is where usually a brand name to whom the tracker belongs would be, e.g. google or amazon). It asks for: Device model, OS compilation number, type of connection, screen pixel density, country, OS version, unique ID, app name, CPU name, cookies, device language, post code, device make/brand, app version, e-mail address, android advertisement ID.

I don't really know what to think about all this, but I wouldn't expect firefox to track me in any way, I've trusted mozilla so far, and am inclined to continue to do so, but I'm confused by this and don't know what to make of it. The DuckDuckGo app doesn't really offer more information, and I might try asking them as well, idk. Googling didn't really help me, so I'll be thankful for any answer.

Hi,

I saved a new login on Firefox Android, but this did not sync to the desktop version. I tried syncing manually on both devices (which kind of defeats the point) and still no avail. The option to sync logins is activated on both devices, so I don't know what the problem is. I have tested this twice (two passwords saved on Android) and on both occasions they didn't sync to the desktop.

I also tested the process the other way around by saving a new login on the desktop and that synced to Android just fine!

Please help.

I recently bit the bullet and am transferring from chrome to firefox. I was able to transfer my hundreds of book marks from chrome into desktop firefox, but I cannot get them on my phone. I saw one user suggest doing a "sync now" to force it, but when I tab "sync now" nothing happens and it continues reading "Last synced: Never" and I am logged into the same accounts on desktop and mobile.

How do I get this to work?

I keep having a problem on when returning to a tab or someone when opening a link the page is simply shown as a black screen. It appears that the page is loaded in the background but literally nothing is displayed on screen.

Refreshing does nothing. Navigating to a different page does nothing (as in the screen is still black, but Firefox goes through the motions of "loading" the page). Searching does the same.

If I close the tan and then immediately hit undo the page will often be displayed.

This has been going on for maybe 2/3 months now and I have updated the application and my phone multiple times; both are up to do.

I can only assume this is a bug at the stage, but if someone has insight into a work around, that would be great.

Example image showing the page being "loaded" but nothing displayed.

There is no option to "SYNC AND SAVE DATA". Your help would be appreciated. Thank you!
