One of the Windows 10 devices shows as ASUSLaptop but the other 2 windows 10 devices' names on the android device are blank They shoulld say something like DESKTOP-ABCDE1 AND DESKTOP-UVWXY9 as those are their names. When sending a tab from any of the desktop devices ALL device names are shown complete. Sync is current. Admittedly, I have not logged out of firefox in a day or so but "things" do seem to be working otherwise.

I've had problems with Firefox automatically closing any context menus I try to open, including tapping and holding something to right click or tapping on a drop-down menu to open the list. Often they close almost immediately, making it impossible for me to use them, and this has been very frustrating.

I upgraded to Android 10 this morning.
Now, the bug with the Firefox playing notification won't ever go away, even after removing Firefox from memory.
Before on 9, the notification would show after navigating away from a webpage with media on it, but closing Firefox completely and swiping it out of memory made the notification go away. This is not the case any longer.

Dear Support Team:
My security and Privacy settings are all checked for clearance when I prompt the browser to. My home page is set to default Firefox. Many apps have restrictions in system apps and application apps. Firefox has access maximum access except for location, because I want to help you detect bugs and improve as it is in the interest of all users for me to permit Firefox to do this.
In addition, all my bookmarks are mysteriously removed, often when the data deletion is prevented as stated above.
I need not mention this but I must. Intrusions into my phone are persistent by parties who havea vested interest in preventing me from divulging the thought crimes that they visit upon me.
I use a free VPN (Thunder), often with the German or Netherlands servers.
What more can I do to protect my privacy?
I am not a criminal nor terrorist. I have no criminal record.
Thank you in advance. PL

I use desktop youtube to listen to the music on android for not having to have the focus on the firefox app while its playing. But as i pinch or scroll on the page, i get clicks registered 95% of the time, which immediately loads the page (or song) underneath the registered click, cutting the video i was just watching (or listening). Can this get fixed somehow?
Samsung J5 Pro Oreo 8.1 Firefox Copy & paste broken on (eg) smh.com.au

Using current FF on both a J1mini on android 5.1.1 and the J5 Pro on 8.1, all up to date.
Previously marking text brought up a menu on top line; copy / select all / paste etc. This worked everywhere. Still does on the J1mini.
On Oreo instead it brings up a floating box (copy chit paste share select all), but this doesn't work on my favourite news site on the comments section - I can neither copy useful postings nor paste text written elsewhere (e.g. a text editor) as my own posting.
This makes Firefox, long my favourite browser, useless for one of my main daily activities.
In this mode, you can select text ok, but when you do there's no way to cut or copy or paste; that popup menu simply fails to appear. Very frustratingl
The ForceCopy add-on makes no difference.
If you need an example, try
... ah no, I can't even paste an example url here now :(
You can try https://smh.com.au and look for an article with comments. At the top of comments section it works but once you zcroll down a page or further, you can't copy selected text, nor paste a reply.
Hopefully this is not only happening to me.

Hi
I've been having problems with my Firefox app for a few weeks now, I'm hoping you could help me out.
It always worked perfectly fine, but recently for some reason it's not behaving correctly.
The major issue is the touchscreen. When I click on a particular line for example it selects a line from much higher up the page, totally unrelated to what I'm trying to select.
I don't know if this happened due to a recent update or not, I can't remember sorry. I've removed and reinstalled the app, no difference. I've also today just updated the app again, same problem still.
There are no other issues with my phone, its a Sony Experia Z5 Compact and it's in perfect working order. I had been using the app like that for more than a year, maybe even 2 years until this sudden problem.
Also, I have another phone, a Wileyfox Swift, and the Firefox app works perfectly fine on that unit.
Can you advise me of a solution to this please ?
Thanks for your time.
