Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have your mobile app on my Android phone. I'd love to know is there any way to get rid of Google and just use your app for roaming and wifi and setting's. I never feel secure with Google, I've been ripped off by putting my bank card saved by Google. I'd be willing to pay to get the security I desire

I used to use something like file:/// to get the root dir listing. I could then go to subdirs and read files. It appears that Firefox now only accesses files it downloads and it won't download HTML files. Is it possible to do the old actions?

On Android, we cannot enter data URLs in the address bar. (For example data:,String1 ) We are redirected to the Google search result. However, we can use data URLs from bookmarks. On iOS, Firefox rejects any data URL even from bookmarks. At the same time, Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS don't have any issue with data URL. Why does mobile Firefox handle data URLs differently than the desktop version? Is it a bug?

When I select a text from any website there is no option to search privately (unless you're already in private mode). Having Firefox Focus installed makes the option appear but it opens the link there aka in a different app, it would be a lot better if you need have to install another app and yes I know i can just do it manually by copying the text, switch to private mode, pasting and then finally searching. It would save you 3 taps. (The images are with the Firefox Focus app uninstalled, I can provide more with it being installed and how it works.)

I have this as a statement in my Playstore review, and Mozilla asked me to put it here as a question! But it really is NOT a question and they should have requested it as feedback instead. But I'll expand on it a bit here anyway. The problem involves keeping tabs open all the time. They should not lose their qualities but they do when you leave and then return latet to such a tab when it comes to Desktop Site selection. The flag still shows it as enabled but in actuality when you examine the page itself you find that it no longer behaves like it, and it won't even let you disable and then re-enable it to fix it! It just ignores your presses at that point! It's definitely a bug and it wasn't there earlier at some point although I'm not sure when it stopped working and might have even been with different Android versions being that I had only recently started using it on Android 11. But at some point in earlier Android versions it definitely had worked and the tabs we're also rearrangeable back then as well. The bottom line is that the problem isn't hard to reproduce...it's there CONSTANTLY and you just need to keep your tabs open all the time and try keeping them as desktop selected for them while working on other apps so that it temporarily dies in the background and then returning back and then you'll see right away that it has this problem.  :)

I read on the mozilla site that you can help by translating the help articles ya'll have available. I decide to try it and click on a link to go translate articles. It asks me to sign in, so I do that.

Then it tells me I can help millions of people by translating help documentation to my language. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/get-involved/l10n) Below that it says "How it works" and there are three steps. The first one is to Sign up as a volunteer. But there is no button to sign up as a volunteer. If I open the hamburger menu, the third option is Volunteer. If I scroll down there's an option to translate help to your languages. But clicking on it brings me back to the page that tells me I should sign up as a volunteer, but which also doesn't provide me with a way of doing so.

What am I missing?

Hello, I'm a user from Iran. To day I was browsing, suddenly I got a message from Firefox. It says I won a gift. But here in Iran we are blocked. Iran regime has blocked the internet these days because of #Mahsa-Amini death. When I pushed the bottom to receive my gift it said we can't find your IP address. I can use Firefox, social media & etc.. by VPN. Please guide me, what should I do???

I've been using Firefox as my primary password manager ever since it became a feature in the browser. Unfortunately I recently had to switch to a different password manager, one that supports family profiles & certain other features that Firefox doesn't. Now when I am about to login to a site using Firefox for Android I keep getting duplicate suggested logins prompts, one from Firefox & one from my new password manager.

I went in to Firefox on my desktop (there doesn't seem to be a way to bulk delete saved logins in Firefox for Android) and deleted all of my saved logins, then synced accordingly & synced on Firefox for Android as well, also being sure to disable all settings under Logins & Passwords in Firefox for Android. Unfortunately "suggest logins" isn't an option you can enable/disable in Firefox for Android presently. However as I'm continuing to use the browser on my phone, it still pops up the suggested logins prompt at the bottom of every login page.

This has grown into quite the annoyance for me, I must admit. Can you please inform me how to permanently disable the suggested logins prompt in Firefox for Android moving forward? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Apparently, you cannot. I need to print from Firefox android, but it seems to be just about impossible. So I've given up, I've tried too hard too many times. I'm going to use chrome, which makes me sick. As much as I don't want to use chrome, I can easily print from it. And can't do that in Firefox! Why is that? Why the hell does Firefox think people don't need to print?

I'm a 54yr old man, and if I want to search for porn, I should be able to. Your browser doesn't have good results with porn searches. Why is that? Nothing but unrelated crap in images and videos tabs and the sites it offers in "all" tab list are minimal and most of the time unrelated to search criteria. It's as if it thinks I'm some child that needs a net nanny. Come on guys!

why doesn't ff put a date on their articles? dates and times are important, esp in the online world.....
