Ticking "automatic font sizing" checkbox under "accessibility" often breaks websites.

In a lot of cases, pages are a bit zoomed-in initially, when you open it. You can often manually zoom-out to fix that.

Often pages are clipped on right edge. It's not possible to zoom out.

Sometimes website popups completely break the website. For example privacy policy popups. Sometimes it's not possible to dismiss them at all. Dismiss buttons can get moved outside of the website, so you are basically stuck.

Hello, I enjoy using Firefox for Android and prefer it over Chrome but in recent months I have noticed one major drawback: the new handwriting to text feature on tablets is not working in Firefox contrary to most other browsers like Chrome. Android has had this feature for some time now and I wonder if Firefox will implement handwriting to text for interacting with websites as it is a very natural and satisfying way to browse. Sincerely, Maurice

I'm missing the pop-up control on the android version, it simply not there? Problem is, in DK wee have a id approval function called mitId (my ID) I'll typically pop up as result of a payment of larger amounts, therefore the block exception is mandatory for that site. But the control is missing in android  ! I just got a payment rejected due to the bank couldn't verify my identity, I had to reenter Amazon in Chrome to finish the payment, rather silly ! Are there any way to bypass the missing?

I truly enjoy using Firefox for mobile and I am trying to make it by default browser but I have such a horrible time with the pitch to zoo. I am visually impaired so the pins to zoom is a must-have for me, there are so many sites that I use this and the page jumps and never stays in place especially on YouTube. I feel that I have adjusted all the settings recommended to me inside Firefox in addition to changing configurations like the AKA settings to false or to true which I always I don't want to have to go back to Chrome so is there anything you can recommend or do for me all help is truly appreciated thank yourecommended but nothing has seen to help. Even as I type this up I lost my place and pinch to zoom to find it and the page jumped to the top several times any help to resolve this would be so much appreciated thank you very much. One last thing I do keep everything in desktop mode because it's easier for me to see not sure if that matters.

Now, after the latest update (October 18 – 144.0 (Build #2016119303)), keyboard isn't "detected" by pages. So when KB is open, can't scroll to the bottom of the page. Or similarly, pages which have a message box at the bottom, KB overlays that box and everything below it. Quick test shows that only the New Tab screen and URL bar know about the keyboard status.

Tested on different browsers with different phones. Firefox for Android overlays keyboards on top of the webpage instead of resizing the viewport. This partially blocks the view of responsive webpages and most times blocks the view of text input boxes while typing.

Image attached shows how the keyboard is overlaid on top of the end of the footer of the Mozilla website. Last image shows a Chrome screenshot for comparison.

Hallo Community,

Seid dem neuesten Update von Android schiebt sich das browserfenster nicht automatisch nach oben. Wenn die tastatur eingeblendet wird. Sprich der chat, also das was ich schreibe, verbirgt sich hinter dem tastaturfeld.

Vor dem Update musste ich das auf vielen websiten nach oben schieben. Um das zu lesen, was ich aktuell tippe. Nun kann ich das nicht mehr hochziehen. Und muss jedesmall die tastatur verbergen, lesen, korrigieren.. weiter tippen :/

Meine versuche, die bisher erfolglos geblieben sind: Firefox app neu installieren. Andere tastatur für android installieren. Neu starten vom smartphone.

Das Smartphone hat kaum apps installiert. Ist also ziemlich blank. In anderen browsern habe ich nicht das problem. Ausschließlich in firefox. Und das auf jeder Homepage mit einem chatfenster.

Firefox ist das aktuellste aus dem playstore. Also frisch. Samsung tastatur Samsung galaxy s 23 ultra. Neuestes betriebssystem (update novemer 2025) Wenige apps installiert, wie krankenkasse oder email.

New version 144.0 just arrived and a bad surprise for me. I'm often using the shortcuts in the start page, but these are limited now to the first 8 icons and can not be scrolled. To see the others I need to click on Show All. This seems to me as a very bad update Up through Firefox Android 143 Shortcuts on the new tab page could be quickly side-scrolled, but that appears to be removed in 144, which I find significantly more clumsy. Please restore the prior behavior, at least and I hope it will be corrected Thank you. and copy and paste is broken on android mobile (Sorry I had to blur sole of my pint shortcuts)

So now home screen icons are circles.

Can you please not? At least allow me to set my own style for home screen. I always prefer rectangular shapes on my device, they make everything more recognizable and easier for my autistic brain to navigate. I'm sick and tired of everything becoming soft and rounded nowadays.
