Hello! I noticed FireFox Android now reports my real OS version but FireFox Android has auto spoofed the useragent OS version from version 122? The install was via apk through Aurora app store if that makes any difference. I would like to fix this if its an error, if the spoof has been disabled then it will obviously remain. Thanks in advance!

password completion fails for moz-proxy:// on Android

Hi. I use Firefox Nightly and I enabled a secure proxy over TLS using only the built-in features, no addons.

My about:config : network.proxy.type = 2 network.proxy.autoconfigurl = data:text/plain,function FindProxyForURL(u,h){return "HTTPS my-secure-proxy:443";}

When I open any site for the first time it asks for the proxy credentials as expected: The proxy moz-proxy://my-secure-proxy:443 is requesting a username and a password.

After entering the credentials I confirm to save them and as long as the Firefox app is not stopped it works. However, when the app is restarted it asks for the password again with both fields blank and after entering the same credentials it asks me to update the saved credentials.

This only happens on Android. Firefox for Windows with the same proxy settings can autocomplete the moz-proxy:// password.

I think it has something to do with the OS keyring unable to store the passwords for unknown URI schemas.

Is there some workaround for that?

I try to be on top of my digital privacy, and try to enable all privacy related options available, but I just learned that for a number of month, Firefox mobile had been sending each app open to Facebook which they logged in their "Off-Facebook Activity". Attached is a section of that downloaded report.

Why is Firefox doing this, and how can I stop it? Based on the work put in to make the Facebook container, I'd imagine that Firefox is trying to protect user's data, but here it's looking like they're turning around and just sending them that data directly

Prevent invalidated fingerprint from accessing saved logins

Hello,

I have a security suggestion for Firefox for Android.

Android API allows apps to be aware that a new fingerprint was enrolled in the device, preventing potentially unauthorized access to apps (in case of a leaked PIN or device theft). https://developer.android.com/reference/android/security/keystore/KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException

For me, it will be a great security improvement if Firefox could be able to detect new fingerprints enrollment in my device and prevent access to my passwords, maybe asking for my Firefox account password one more time.

Thanks!

«HTTPS Only Mode versus HTTPS Everywhere (Add-on)»

1. ¿Hay que desactivar uno de los dos sistemas de seguridad "HTTPS" en favor del otro para que todo funcione correctamente?

1. ¿Do you have to disable one of the two "HTTPS" security systems in favor of the other for everything to work properly?

2. ¿Pueden coexistir y funcionar al mismo tiempo ambos sistemas de seguridad "HTTPS" sin que se interfieran mutuamente?

2. ¿Can both "HTTPS" security systems coexist and work at the same time without interfering with each other?

Before a recent update, I had my xnew tab page" set up the way I wanted it, so it only showed a few pinned bookmarks and nothing else. After the update, my new tab page is now showing items from my history after my pinned bookmarks.

I have the "recently visited" toggle turned off in "customize homepage", but they're still there.

So, how do I get rid of this clutter?
