Firefox for Android Support Forum

I am hitting a brick wall.

I have a house guest (my housemate's girlfriend) that I want her to only use the Guest SSID on my Linksys Model EA6900 router for her Android phone. The guest SSID uses port 10080.

I have been able to configure FireFox (for PC) on my laptop (as trial) to allow port 10080 as access for Guest SSID using "about:config" and it works. My problem is finding a browser for Android that will allow me to reconfigure it to allow port 10080 for her to use.

I was informed that possibly "FireFox Nightly" may allow this configuration. Attempting to configure FireFox on an Android using "about:config" does not work.

Will FireFox Nightly allow me to configure it to use port 10080 so she can access the guest SSID? If so what is the configuration instructions and where do I download Firefox Nightly.

If I am able to reconfigure FireFox Nightly to allow port 10080 for the guest SSID I assume that she will not have access to any other devices on the main/home SSID which is my main concern.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've noticed that starting yesterday that Firefox for Android times out whenever I try to access any website with it. I've only been able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling it but after I connect with Firefox Sync it fails to be able to connect to any site and everything times out.

I'm not sure what is causing this, I don't see any add-ons enabled under Firefox but perhaps Firefox Sync is automatically enabling something that is breaking the browser. Any further trouble shooting steps to diagnose would be welcome. I'm having an existential crisis using Chrome.

Update: I can confirm this happens w/o logging into Sync. For some reason Firefox for Android just starts giving The connection has timed out after being installed for a period of time. I'm running Android version 11 and have ample ram and storage space on the phone.

How do I clear the cache? Online sources and Mozilla articles say to go into Settings and select "clear private data" but there is no "clear private data" option in settings.

I'm using the latest version of Mozilla browser for Android.

Hi,

Where can I find up-to-date information about WebExtension development for Firefox for Android?

If I go to pages like https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/developing-extensions-for-firefox-for-android/ or https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/differences-between-desktop-and-android-extensions/ I am getting info that is veeery old and with a bunch of warnings.

So my questions are: 1) What sort of environment should I set up to develop and debug extensions? 2) More importantly: where can I find a full documentation of APIs that I can use in my extension in the latest version of FF for Android. 3) Where can I expect to find timely support if I run into problems developing an extension?

Thanks.

The app successfully autofills user names and passwords but if I am registering for something or need to insert a delivery address I have to do it manually.

Is there a way to enable this it to automatically fill in addresses?

So I am trying to download some large files, but the server I am downloading from are extremely slow. My place doesnt have stable internet connection and during my download, almost 100% of the time, it fails. Now there is a "Try again" button that can continue downloading the file in firefox after the connection is back. When I press the button, it resumes the download from where it was, but I noticed that the files are not downloaded correctly. The file size is noticeably smaller than what it should be, and it is non-functional. My phone uses android 11 custom rom (lineage), but the same issue is also present on an older, stock anroid phone I have. This issue has been present for at least half a year and I dont know a solution. Can anyone suggest a solution?

When I used to open to the homepage, I would only see my pinned sites, but now my browsing history/most visited sites are added next to my pins. It goes away when I delete my history but there's no way to remove it completely (they just keep coming back when I browse again). The help section for this is also incorrect as there is no slider in the settings anymore to turn it off.

Also: when I go to the homepage I can no longer access my tabs/settings? I have to visit a site for these to pop up in the top right corner.

Recently (version ~100) sites that I visit are being added automatically to my homepage as shortcuts. I've tried all different options under Settings -> Homepage but no matter what it adds them.

Attached I have a screenshot of my settings. The only two sites that should appear on the homepage are the 'Resnet' and 'WRGA' but whenever I browse it adds the additional sites and I have to keep going back and deleting every single entry one at a time.

This is a new issue for me. I don't have any plugins installed. I have tried clearing FF cache, data, and even reinstalled. I also tried disabling FF sync.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S9/Android 10 Build number: Firefox v 99.1.1 Problem: Using Firefox as default browser, the user is failed to get redirected from webview back to app. SDK Version:

Amplify Android v1.29.0

Code used:

The onSuccess Action of Amplify.Auth.signOut is finishing but the webpage “dismiss” is not being triggered

Function call (image)

Has this issue been seen elsewhere? Is there any configuration that needs to be set to allow callback/redirects?

I can get the sync to work on my laptop but when it comes to the Android box, it just keeps spinning [ blue circle ]. It states on the laptop what devices are syncing but I cannot sign in onto the android because it takes me to no page... just spinnnnnnnning! *sighs* Why can't you guys just leave Firefox alone and quit making all these changes. If anyone has a better browser idea, let me know.
