YouTube videos on Firefox Android Stable, Beta, and Nighty, experience significant frame drops when viewing "Stats" both on AVC1 and VP9, and on all resolutions. I checked about:config in both Beta and Nightly and HW acceleration was enabled. This was true for a FRESH install as well. I tried this on other devices and the problem persists. Mull, which is a fork of Fennec, plays the same videos without any problems. Other browsers are also fine.

Tested on Samsung S20 One UI 5.1 (Android 13). Tested on Samsung A13 One UI 5.0 (Android 13). Tested Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact (Android 10). Tested on Sony Xperia XZ1 (Android 9).

When using the mobile app on Android, on almost every website there are large blocks of text which I can't see unless I highlight them. In some cases, only the top or bottom half of a line is visible. Zooming in or out in a page randomly changes which lines are hidden, but there are almost always at least one big missing block in view. I have seen a few other posts mentioning problems like this, but because they were all for desktop apps, none of the recommended solutions are possible for me. Disabling add-ons has not had any effect. I've attached two screenshots of this page right now to show what this looks like.

When the "Google Search Fixer" addon is installed and the "Pull to refresh" gesture is enabled, I am not able to freely scroll up on the search results page. After scrolling animation finishes, if I try to scroll up, the browser thinks that I want to refresh the page, therefore the input is sank.

Idk if this it's common knowledge or not, but I couldn't find anything anywhere about this! I accidentally opened a menu that let me change the background of my homepage on Firefox Nightly (Android)

I was just tapping around and a drawer poped up with a bunch of options including some limited edition ones at the bottom

I didn't think to screenshot the drawer but I did pick one I liked the looks of from the preview. I'll include a screenshot of the default homepage grey and the purple gradient I got through the theme drawer

The only other thing I remember is something about "add a splash of color" (it was spelt the American way specifically I remember)

Does anyone know how I can get this menu back? I want to try the different themes and theme my main Firefox app too

Using FF for Android on a pixel 6 on every website when I try to scroll down nothing moves and if I keep sliding down the page refreshes. It thinks I'm at the top. Every single time. I have to scroll down a couple millimeters then it will go up. Scroll down is not an issue. I've seen other users with this issue and I've seen bug reports addressing it so I know it's a real thing.

I've been using Firefox as my primary password manager ever since it became a feature in the browser. Unfortunately I recently had to switch to a different password manager, one that supports family profiles & certain other features that Firefox doesn't. Now when I am about to login to a site using Firefox for Android I keep getting duplicate suggested logins prompts, one from Firefox & one from my new password manager.

I went in to Firefox on my desktop (there doesn't seem to be a way to bulk delete saved logins in Firefox for Android) and deleted all of my saved logins, then synced accordingly & synced on Firefox for Android as well, also being sure to disable all settings under Logins & Passwords in Firefox for Android. Unfortunately "suggest logins" isn't an option you can enable/disable in Firefox for Android presently. However as I'm continuing to use the browser on my phone, it still pops up the suggested logins prompt at the bottom of every login page.

This has grown into quite the annoyance for me, I must admit. Can you please inform me how to permanently disable the suggested logins prompt in Firefox for Android moving forward? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I just discovered that the android phone (Samsung A71) I am currently using was in fact still using Lockwise for Auto Fill.

How do I force this old copy of Lockwise to do a final sync before I uninstall it. I do know that at least some of the passwords stored in it are up to date. At this time, I DO NOT have access to a PC. I DO have access to a more recent android phone (Samsung A53 5G) that DOES NOT have Lockwise installed and is using the most up-to-date version of FireFox for Android.

Also is firefox typed out in lowercase or one of these ways: "Firefox" or "FireFox"? I have a habit of camelcasing some computer terms left over from my days as a UNIX Administrator (AT&T Bell Labs versions and not any BSD versions) and want to know the proper way to type it (from the horse's mouth so to speak).

Regards

To be really homest, I never had this kin of problem in chrome, your youtube video player has too many bugs. The issues I've faced are: 1.Whenever I play a video, it is always choppy which is so frustrating. 2.This happened so many times, when I turn switch into full screen mode the whole app crashes.

Please look into this issue, I like the UI and that is the reason why I'm still using mozrilla on my phone.

I installed the latest Nightly version 116.0a1 today (June 12), and it won't open. The only error message that shows is one asking to clear the browser's history in order to open it. I haven't done that yet. Clearing the cache and restarting the app does not solve the problem.

This is happening on a OnePlus 7T using Android 12 (T-Mobile version).
