Firefox for Android Community Forum

Are there any plans to provide native screen mirroring or casting in FF for Android? Alternately, to re-enable about:config, which once contained this option (as well as many other very handy settings). There appears to be no relevant extension available so I am forced to use the glitchy, unreliable and utterly untrustworthy Google Home.

I find it extremely annoying that on the Desktop all URLs I open are on the same tab unless I request otherwise but on Android all URLs I open from Home open in a new tab which can result in a huge number of tabs being open. When are the developers going to provide an option to open new URLs on the same Tab unless I request otherwise. On a device like a phone with limited memory this makes no sense, my wife often ends up with so many tabs open her phone crashes. I know there is a setting to close on exit but on Android that only works if you select exit which my wife often forgets so she ends up with 30 open tabs!

A facility to circumvent this is long overdue.

I was using Firefox Stable, but whenever I browsed web pages outside, I changed to Nightly due to excessive packet usage caused by prefetching, and turned off all settings regarding auto-connect in about:config. One thing that is questionable is that unlike Stable, it does not properly support 120Hz refresh rate.

It seemed to stutter whenever I scrolled through web pages, so I changed the settings related to refresh rate in about:config, but nothing changed. (Instead, the UFO Test shows up to 90-100FPS.)

The file download percentage is displayed incorrectly. The indicator does not fill up, it only moves to +0 and -0. If we roughly divide the indicator into 100 parts, its fill percentage is no more than 10 units.

I'd been trying to download 2 large files from Icann and kept getting premature completion with Firefox. It would be showing ##MB of 356MB downloaded for a few seconds and then out of the blues it just says completed. As you can see in the shared video, I've tried this several times.

I thought that maybe one of the Firefox addons was causing the issue so I tried Troubleshoot Mode but that resulted in the same behavior.

I then went into Firefox Profile Manager and created a new profile. But that too had the same behavior - 🤔!

So I then tried Chromium. It completed the download successfully and the file passed gunzip test.

So, why is Firefox, even with a new profile, failing to complete a download?

Hi,

Recently I noticed my context menu has changed, before I would have the option for define (as in dictionary definition) but now I have search Amazon. This is pretty annoying and I'd like to know if it's possible to change it back?

I'm running Android 15 with Firefox 136.0.2 (Build #2016079799).

Thanks in advance for any help!

You know, for android, people can still choose the 3 button plan, which are background, home and return.

So, previously, If I long press return, firefox would push up a list of history pages of the current tab page, I can select to go back to any one.

But recently I found this function have disappeared. Is this function canceled, or just a bug and there's way to fix it?

Greetings, I am using Firefox as my default browser on an Android phone. What has been happening is, when I click on a link to go to another tab/webpage, Firefox only gives me a blank page. I have repeated the process several times and it has happened with more than one site/hyperlink. I try clicking the refresh and still nothing happens. Also, before anyone asks, I have cleaned/cleared my cache and restarted my phone. The app is the latest version. How I know it's Firefox is, I have opened the same link using Chrome and I get the page I'm looking for. I don't know if there is a setting I need to make, but this doesn't happen all the time, it just happens enough to be a real pain.

Why is it so difficult to navigate to ask a question? I'm trying to sync Firefox on my iPhone and my laptop.

From the firefox menu on my iphone: I'm trying to enter my Mozilla password to connect the sync, but nothing is happening. I enter my Mozilla password. I hit the sign in box. It turns a lighter shade of blue and nothing happens from that point on. What am I doing wrong?

phone: iOS 18.3.1 Firefox browser on laptop: 136.0 I'm assuming that firefox on iphone is updated?

After the last update, your browser is lagging on youtube web, every time I press a button, it takes 5 seconds for the button to respond. Will Firefox bring fix solution for this ?

Hello,I love Firefox,I'm an older person so I get confused on permissions. I'm trying to find out what permissions Google needs for my Firefox browser to work properly,so I may have privacy an security.

I'm experiencing the following bug:

When I click a search result, the search result page (as in, the Google page listing search results) is not saved in my history. When I click the back button, I'm taken back to the page I was on before entering the search query. I should note, not all search result pages are removed from my history. When I navigate away from a search result page by entering a URL in the address bar or querying another search, the initial search remains in my history. The issue only seems to appear when I select a search result. Then the search result page is removed from history.
