Prior to the 6/16/25 release, hitting the back button on the three button control on a page with no previous pages would open the home page without closing the current tab. After the update, it closes the tab before opening the home page. This was useful for quickly opening multiple tabs, as well as preventing accidentaly closing a tab. Please revert this change, or make it a setting.

I recently downloaded Firefox on my Android device. It's been fine. However today, there was an issue. I have the settings set on my phone so bookmarks appear on the homepage. However, today, for some reason, the bookmark on the homepage was glitched. I'm not sure why, but I figured I just had to reset it. So I go rid of the bookmark on the homepage, and redid the bookmark. It was working again, but now, the bookmark isn't appearing on the homepage anymore. It's just a blank homepage, even though my settings are still the same. I've turned the settings on and off, reset fire fox, cleared cache, and the bookmark still isn't showing up. Pleas help me.

Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

Hello, I have a reproducible issue on Firefox Beta for Android on my POCO X6 Pro 5G running HyperOS / Android 15.
When tapping mailto: or tel: links in Firefox, nothing happens. No app opens and no chooser dialog is shown.
The same links work correctly in Google Chrome, so the Phone/Dialer and Email apps are properly registered with the system.
This appears to be related to Bug 1988946, but it also affects Android 15 on HyperOS.
---
Steps to reproduce
1. Open Firefox Beta on a POCO/Xiaomi device running HyperOS.
2. Visit any webpage containing a tel: or mailto: link.
3. Tap the link.
---
Actual Result
No action is triggered.
No Intent Resolver popup appears.
No dialer or email app is launched.
---
Expected Result
tel: links should open the default Phone app.
mailto: links should open the user’s email app.
If multiple apps are available, Android should show a chooser dialog.

Device Information
Device: POCO X6 Pro 5G
OS: HyperOS, Android 15
Firefox version: Firefox Beta 146.0b4
Build: #2016126791
GV: 146.0-20251117130030
AS: 146.0.1
Build date: 2025-11-17T13:00:30

What I have already tried
Enabled “Open links in apps” in Firefox
Reset Firefox default preferences
Reset Phone (Dialer) defaults
Granted all special permissions (background activity, pop-ups, etc.)
Tested Firefox Stable and Beta
Cleared app cache/data
Rebooted device
Verified that Chrome opens tel: and mailto: links correctly on the same device
---
Additional notes
In HyperOS settings (“Opening links”), Firefox does not receive supported link types.
The Phone app does not appear in “Opening links”, but it works fine with Chrome.
This suggests a compatibility issue between Firefox’s intent handling and Xiaomi/POCO HyperOS on Android 15.
---
Conclusion
This issue is reproducible 100% of the time and affects basic link handling functionality. I am available to provide logs or run additional tests if needed.
Thank you!

Why are basic features like editing bookmarks not in the app. On chrome you are able to click and hold on a bookmark to select it, then click and hold on it again to move it anywhere you'd like in the folder. Also there is no "move to" option on Firefox which would make sorting much easier, it would be nice to have such a simple feature like this for convenience.

As the title says, I got a problem with Android version of Firefox that sometimes on some webpages it just hangs and doesn't load the page at all. While it's hanging there if i try to open extension settings it doesn't even load that, just opens blank page. Only way around it is to close tab and try again later. Sometimes i can just close tab and on next try it works, sometimes it just doesn't. I've had same issue with PC version of Firefox and it seems to be fixed after disabling HTTPS over DNS. On Android I've tried changing network.trr.mode to 5 but with no luck. Also ive tried disabling extensions and changing some options but whatever I do it just still keeps happening. Btw its a new install after years of not using Firefox, perhaps because of the same issue.

I now have the problem that I am on a large payment page and switch back and forth between FF and another app (to copy payment-relevant data). Unfortunately, FF does a page refresh every time it is brought back to the foreground from the background. And all the data already entered is lost! This is a fairly well-known problem with FF on Android! Chromium manages this better and leaves the memory management to Android. Why can't FF do that? Why can't I switch off this feature? I can't edit any relevant websites with the FF. I have to use Chrome for that! Hooray!
Why does autofill of credit cards and address's not work outside of the US and Canada? Will support ever be implemented? I'm using Firefox on Android.

I just lost several hundred tabs on Firefox mobile right after it updated itself. The most recent tabs show only ten of those tabs, which were all opened and closed today and aren't part of what I need to restore.
How do I get my tabs back? I've seen no 'restore previous session' option. My laptop only shows the few I have open now. What do I do to restore them?

Firefox beta usually works OK but random webpages either take ages to load or even hang indefinitely. Most of the responses I've seen on this subject simply ask for more info re websites, extensions etc but other browsers don't have these problems, so it looks like a core Firefox thing.
