I am trying to switch to Firefox but I'm having a lot of trouble on my Android phone. I have the AdGuard app already installed on my phone and it seems to be the source of the problem. Every link I click on that opens in the browser is blocked when AdGuard is enabled. It's only if I disable AdGuard do the links open.

I have attached a couple screenshots of what I see when I can't open a link. I have no intention of disabling AdGuard just to use Firefox, as I don't have this issue with any other browser I have, including Brave and DuckDuckGo.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've noticed in browsing history that a lot of tabs are private. I don't use or want private browsing, can I disable it?

I'm not sure but I think that the private tabs were opened by Google Assistant and/or Gemini (if that makes a difference).

I've looked at multiple articles at the links below, and I've tried to implement what they say, but nothing works. All I want to do is enable push notifications for a website/web app on Android so that I can use the app similar to a mobile app. It seems like this is possible with Firefox, but how do I do it?

For reference, I'm using: Android 16 Firefox 140 Pixel 9 Pro

I hope Mozilla does not add another icon next to the address bar, otherwise it may not be possible to select the address... Do you know a way to edit these icons so they get out of the way? I would't mind disabling translation (not used) or share (accessible via main menu) and the spacing on the icons could use some work too

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

How to Keep Private Tabs in Android After Closing the App?

Issue Description: I'm encountering a privacy tab setting issue with the Firefox app on my Android phone. When I close the Firefox app, all private tabs are automatically cleared and not retained. However, when I previously used Firefox on an iPhone (iOS 11), private tabs remained open after relaunching the app.

Specific Questions:

1.Is there a setting in the Android version of Firefox to retain private tabs after closing the app?

2.Is this behavior due to Android's restrictions or Firefox's default configuration?

3.If no direct setting exists, are there workarounds (e.g., extensions or specific versions) to achieve this?


My mobile phone is: Nothing Phone (3a) Pro Android 15

Any advice from users with similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

70% of the time I try downloading something it goes one of three ways, either it completes the download and somehow the file isn't downloaded or shows in my recents. The second way is that it stops mid download and deletes the file. Or the third way which downloads part of the file (or most of it) and just stops the download, keeping the part file and I have to re-download it from the beginning. I waste my data constantly because of these issues, especially being as I don't have wifi where I am located, its important I don't waste my data, time, effort, money, and battery life for nothing in return.
