Firefox for Android Support Forum

I'm developing a PWA, that I can install on Chrome, but on Firefox, the button just do nothing I also tried with Twitter website: same problem

108.2.0 (Build #2015925643), 78718ba91+ AC: 108.2.0, 9174b4e74f GV: 108.0.2-20230104165113 AS: 95.0.1

I know nobody except developers know this button and what is a PWA but... it's not gonna change if we can't educate users with low friction flows

Can you reproduce this problem ?

Whatever the website I visit maybe be, the full website URL is never shown. For example when I visit Facebook it shows "m.facebook.com" instead of "https://m.facebook.com". This also happens for websites using "http://" instead of "https://". I know that in the PC version of Firefox this can be fixed by changing the "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" setting in the "about:config" page so that the URL will be completely shown whatever the website may be. I have tried this in Firefox for Android though, but it doesn't work. The "about:config" page just displays a blank white page instead of any settings. Is there any way for me to fix this? P.S.: I use Firefox for Android on my tablet. I don't know what is the case for phones.

'I like using firefox, however, I have spent a lot of time trying to increase the scrollbar width and nothing seems to work for me.....am very frustrated over this and although I don't want too...just about ready to change to using Chrome as my browser if I can't get it to work....HELP.

Hi,

There is a few bugs:

1. Every time I tap the back button, the page disappears but stays in open tabs.

2. There is no option to move pinned sites and create folders there.

3. Recently opened pages appear next to the pinned pages, even though it is turned off in the settings.

regards Thomas

Recently when watching a video, or just viewing a web feed, and turning my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to landscape view, a white screen appears and can not see anything else.

issue information: Title: The preview of the scanning interface appears stretched when entering Firefox in landscape mode Package name: org.mozilla.firefox Build number/version: 109.2.0 Device, Model, Android ,OS: OPPO (New Tablet, unreleased), Android 13.0, OS 13.1 (Huawei mate11 & Samsung S8 also have this problem) Recurrence rate: 10/10 Expected impact: All Android Tablet users will be affected.

Steps to reproduce: 【Prerequisite】Download the latest version of Firefox from the Google Play Store 【Operation steps】 1. Enter Firefox app in landscape mode 2. Click Scan from the upper right side of the input box 3. Observe the issue

Actual Result:The preview of the scanning interface appears stretched. Expected result:The preview of the scanning interface should display normally without stretched.

Analysis from our engineers: The problem will appear in landscape mode, and the app needs to correctly obtain the current orientation of the system and configure a suitable resolution. Physical size:2000x2800 Physical density:400

This is a problem I've been having on and off for a while now. It seems to only happen on specific web sites, and only in Firefox (I use the Beta browser). On some sites the issue seems intermittent, while on others it's there every time. The issue is this: it seems that my keyboard (SwiftKey) fails to correctly recognize text input fields as such. Some times this leads to text input being doubled, as the autocorrect system fails to remove the direct input to replace it with the corrected word. Typically it means every word is capitalized, as every word is seen by the keyboard as the first word in a field. Some times the keyboard doesn't open at all. Erasing text is often either entirely impossible or extremely slow, as is navigating already input text.

Ive tried clearing both browser and keyboard caches with no change. Visiting the same sites in Chrome has everything work as intended.

If I scroll down this site. If my scroll isn't straight down. It will auto scroll to the top of the page

This makes it very difficult to read page.

Looking forward to your reply.

How do I hack Firefox Mobile to set the "Desktop Site" switch to automatically always be on? I would then turn it off manually for those few sites that I want to view the mobile version of?

I'll understand if this is a longshot. However, I need to ask.

I have tried the new user interface that Mozilla put out about two years ago. I tried it when it first updated and I tried it again last year to be sure. And I'm sorry, but I hate it. I hate it so much. It's unwieldy, I don't like the way the tabs are presented, I don't like how New Tab works and most of all I hate that my bookmarks aren't the first thing I see when I open a new tab. I've been using I think Firefox 69 or 79 ever since.

But using an out of date browser obviously has issues. Pictures aren't loading, some webpages aren't loading, including ones I need for school, and recently my adblock stopped being able to block everything.

Which brings me to my question. Is there some way I can update Firefox to the new browser without using the new UI? An add-on, a setting I can change? If it's complicated, I can do it with a decent step by step. Even if you can help me find the right phrase to google to get a how to would be great.

Thank you in advance, and I hope you have a lovely day

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

Why don't you bring the scroll down to refresh page feature to your android app? I mean how hard can it be? it's the only reason I am not using your app. You already have it in the nightly app... It's so annoying to go settings and hitting refresh every time.

Guys, this is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to implement such a basic and simple feature into the stable version of FF mobile?!

I'm forced to use FF Nightly with its annoying daily updates, just so I can have the pull to refresh feature available.

People shouldn't be forced to download and use a test build of an app just to use a BASIC feature which should have been finished and available from day one.

Get your sh*t together please and add this to the stable FF mobile release already. PLEASE!

It doesn't need more "testing". You're not launching a moon rocket. It works fine. Add it to the stable release.

Yours, Frustrated and loyal FF user.

Dear support team,

I am experiencing a problem with one specific website, zerohedge.com. Whenever I use the back button to return from an article to the home page, the page appears completely blank, and I am forced to refresh it every time. This is happening on the Android version of Firefox, version 111.1.1 (Build #2015941331) with NoScript and PrivacyBadger add-ons installed.

I have not made any changes to the settings, and this problem has only started occurring about a week ago. I have never observed this behavior before.

Before recent firefox updates, youtube videos were automatically rotated in full screen mode. But now youtube videos are not auto-rotated in full screen mode. I've just wondered if you could solve this problem. Thank you.

cf. I'm using "video background play fix" add-on.
