Firefox for Android Community Forum

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

Recently when typing on Firefox on the duckduckgo search engine, anything you type gets doubled, and you cannot backspace. The issue doesn't occur when on Google page, only on ddg. I also tried different keyboard apps and the issue still persists. I went to the same page on Google chrome and the issue does not occur. This just started happening within the last week or so. If it matters/helps, I'm on Samsung s24 ultra.

Hello its been a 2 or 3 months I have been using firefox and always have meet multiple malfunction on the browser, its not that I am saying its bad tho I like the GUI design and the features it have. But this recently update i experiences a malfunction that when I try to type a wrong word autocorrecting is kinda multi hopping like its scrabble some words I try to clear cache it and even clear cache my keyboard but still their. Hope mozilla find this bug immediately

When the screen rotates, many videos freeze and thereafter all videos become unresponsive (and even some elements of the Firefox UI stop responding to taps) until the application is closed and restarted. I have experienced this problem for at least a year now. Reddit is a repeatable example: going to any feed (such as r/popular with videos), playing one, and rotating the screen.

I turned off all battery and CPU optimizations for Firefox, which improves performance on videos somewhat, but does not resolve this issue.

Ever since I got the 150.0, the issue is the following: when I use the AI feature or search something on the internet, the first time everything is OK. If i would search something else or reply to the AI feature, the text appears to be doubled. In example

My name is Dr Tahmeena HazratyOmid. I use Firefox on my Android phone. Recently the browser became slow and YouTube videos do not play smoothly. I tried restarting the phone but the problem is still there. Please help me solve this problem.

This browser is slow in browsing compared to the Chromium engine on low-end Android devices. Also, this browser doesn't have a special YouTube feature to "swipe from the top" (swipe down) to see the video in Portrait Fullscreen mode (one video in fullscreen in portrait mode, not landscape). This removes the video suggestions shown below the main video to maintain high focus on the current video. Brave has this feature; that's why I use the Brave browser to replace YouTube Premium. And I use Firefox with uBlock Origin to remove all ads from Facebook only. So in short, I use Firefox to browse Facebook and I use the Brave browser to watch YouTube. (You might wonder why I don't use Brave to browse Facebook? Brave's built-in ad blocker is weaker than uBlock Origin, which can't remove all Facebook ads even in aggressive mode. That's why I use Firefox for Facebook). But I want everything in Firefox Android. Please focus on popular platforms like Facebook and YouTube, so that people think that we don't need to buy Premium; we can use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension without buying Premium for removing ads.

i am using honor magicpad2 today there is non sync with my keyboard and mozilla.looking for update but none .my keyboard was working well but not i cant see what i wrote .everything comes later.thanks.

Latest version(s) of Firefox on my Android 16 Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra are not happy - go to open a new tab and the entire app freezes - after about 10s I get offered the option of waiting - which does nothing, the same message reappears again 10s later - or closing the app.

Have been trying to find resolution as Firefox is my browser of choice but nothing so far besides reverting to an old build of around 140 and refusing to upgrade.

Please can this be looked at as a priority - reading up I believe a number of Samsung users are experiencing problems with the newer versions all focussed around the tab system.

Version 149. After about one day of use, Firefox on Android intermittently hangs for about five seconds, several times per minute. Attempting to select links during this time are ignored and the selection usually occurs after the hang/delay.

The device is a Pixel 5 with Android 14.

Switching between private browsing mode to normal browsing mode or vice versa results I the header size increasing. Need to close it and reopen for it to go back to normal. Running Android 15 on an Asus Zenfone 10

When doing anything that requires momentarily leaving browser focus, such as hopping to an authentication app or email or text to receive a 2 factor authentication code, the browser will refresh the current page every time I hop back to Firefox.

This usually causes in most cases the code I left to retrieve to become expired as it now wants a new one when the page refreshes. In most cases this also wipes out the entire content of forms that I have taken time filling in. This can happen any time the app loses focus, even if somebody just phones me and I don't even volunterily leave the app.

After March or Febuary I think? Bookmarks become incredably slow. My device is a S20 FE rooted using U.N.1.C.A ROM and using Snapdragon 865 processor. It took roughly 80 seconds or more just to open the main bookmark folder. I also have big bookmark folders but it worked fine on the last update. I came across a Reddit post with similar situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rhe8a5/bookmarks_are_a_lot_slower_to_change_location_on/ This is all I can gather

When I try to browse the webpage still not show anything or loading about 30-50 Second before start loading. Sometimes it get freeze not show anything need to re-enter url.

For the past few years I have encountered a bug on Android (Galaxy s22) that if I am using Google and within Google I open a page, it's fine. But when I click the back arrow it always jumps two pages back, when I click the forward button it is the same (as if Google is not in the short term history), so that I have to search again what I was searching for. This I have reported to the developers with no fix.

I have learned to work around this bug, but past few days the app is more glitchy than ever, so bad that I felt the need to switch to another app. (So far I have not encountered these problems in Nightly.) The app is now switching continuously between pages, between history and browsing in a normal manner is not possible anymore. If I open a website, the app switches to a page I was a few minutes before. After browsing for an hour with many irritations, I almost downloaded Chrome! Luckily I remembered Nightly, which I've used on an android tablet, because the normal app doesn't support a full desktop mode.
