I love Firefox for Android, but I wish there was an option button for automatically saving shortcuts, which when turned on or off, would not automatically save the shortcuts on the home screen. Please provide such an option.

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.
