Firefox for Android Support Forum

I raised this issue in my review on the Google App Store and was asked to submit it as a question here. On my phone (Oppo running on ColorOS 13.1), Firefox will stop working a number of times a month. For about 24 hours, aside from Google result pages, nothing will load, and I'll be stuck looking at an empty loading screen. The last time I raised this issue I was told to delete and reinstall the app, which worked in the moment but did nothing to stop the problem occurring again. Aside from waiting for the app to fix itself, nothing I've found works.

While browsing Amazon.com using the past several builds of the Nightly for Android, I get this most annoying bouncing pop-up tip that is a yellowish with black font saying to click on this heart icon to save the product. I have never seen this on any other browser for Android, and never on my Firefox on my laptop or desktop. Is there anyway to get rid of it? I cannot stand this and I have almost thrown my phone because of it many times. I have never thrown a phone before. I cannot explain why, but it pisses me off so very much!

The soft touch(or short touch?) feature on the website doesn't seem to work on Firefox. Compared to chrome, Samsung Internet, Brave, Vivaldi

In other browsers, if you lightly touch a post on a community site, etc., the post will highlight or display a preview image, but Firefox does not show this feature, only displays a system window, such as copying links, when pressed strongly.

This problem seems to be related to the browser's touch function. It's not a long press. It's a matter of short press

Hi

I've already described the issue on the XDA forum, but nothing has been resolved and the problem is still there and I've read about security vulnerabilities in the browser and it could have fallen into this one Party I don't know anymore. but since the version with the ending 17, I don't remember exactly now. It was the first application with a virus, I mean Fennec, downloaded from fdroid. I had the same with google play, now I know that this purple version had nothing for me. Later it went downhill. . Maybe you have an idea, I know that on Reddit someone also complained about the virus. I'm pasting a post from xda, using the phone is a pain terribly. 'Hi XDA

writes with the help of a translator. So I can say something wrong for which I apologize.

I'm having a problem with my phone's security. VirusTootal detects the Trojan for me in applications where the Trojan is not present.

I've tried cleaning my phone.but it doesn't help.

I'm using F-Droid and I'll use this example to tell you what's going on. for some time now I have been updating almost all the new ones that I download zl from there I also download with a Trojan, these applications are clean in other users. And I'm sure they're okay, but not for me. I don't know what's going on, I thought they were false positives but why would I be the only one who has it?

Maybe I'll add pictures, it will explain more. It's just about this one virus, if I go back to an older version I don't have it.

The ones from Google Play have some too. Be it from github or fdroid -It doesn't matter :( Some manage to be clean, but really these are the cases.. Of course, I also downloaded mods. I've always tried to check them through App Manager and VirusTool API. and I might not have checked one either - I don't rule it out

thanks for the reply and tips. health for all' I would like to add that I used this browser because of the add-ons and options.. The photos are just a preview and a fraction of the problem. Nothing helps from resetting, deleting apk by even adb and after updates.

Ive noticed on Firefox mobile, I'm unable to click any post buttons. In particular Ive noticed it when I would tap a button to upload a file (like a photo). While this happened on Facebook and Instagram, it also happens on my friend's personal project site.

This is specific to Firefox on Android. Happens whether or not I toggle Desktop mode.

It simply does nothing when I tap any buttons associated with uploading a file. The button does not visually flash or anything. Nothing at all happens.

Ironically I can't upload an image on this very form because of it, though this button does highlight like I pressed it.

When not in fullscreen, visualViewport updates correctly. However in fullscreen mode visualViewport remains fixed and never changes. Is this a bug? It's creating an issue for my webapp which has a fixed text entry element at the bottom of the fullscreen element. I have to detect the visualviewport changing when the keyboard shows otherwise it is completely obscured. Please assist me.

After searching something and getting result clicking any link starts loading and after loading takes me back to the search page itself, and clicking again (2nd time) takes me to he page I am trying to open.

hello. I am a user who uses Firefox 123 in Android 14.

There is a problem with writing posts based on HTML editors on the site I usually use.

The editor is in the form of Wysiwyg, and if the image is inserted through the editor, it is impossible to continue to enter the text after the element.

Even if I try to touch the right side of the image and keep input from the right side of the image, the cursor(blinking '|') refuse to go back to the image.

Can I solve this problem? If I need About:config settings, I'm willing to use Firefox beta or nightly.

I'm following the instructions to set Firefox nightly as my default browser, but when I go to settings and try to switch the toggle to "set as default browser" instead of doing it, it just opens a new tab with the instruction. I got up to 4 identical tabs before I gave up. I know how to do it, it's just malfunctioning.

In a separate issue, I have had Firefox Beta for about a year on my Kindle Fire, always worked great. Since the latest update, it won't even open. The screen pops up for a second, then immediately closes. I uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue. I installed regular Firefox, no issue. Then I found nightly, installed with no issue (other than the problem listed above).

HELP! My mobile data usage spiked as of June 20th and has continued at unprecedented levels almost every day since. My historic daily usage for the past many years has been around 4 MB and is now 95MB. and busting through my 2GB/month limit. This is ALL due to Firefox! What happened? Something strange happened on June 19th, when my mobile date usage recorded three separate usage figures instead of the single usage figure for all days previously. June 19th showed 2 usage figures and June 30th showed 3.

I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and Samsung Galaxy A42 5G. Neither of these devices has the monospace font Courier New installed. However, when using Chrome, text boxes on websites that use Courier New are displayed in a different monospace font (which I've been unable to identify). On Firefox, they are not. This breaks the appearance of some websites which rely on text being monospaced but don't include "monospace" in their CSS font family.

Image 1: Screenshot of a website that uses Courier New, as it appears on desktop (both Firefox and Chrome). Image 2: A snippet of the CSS used in that website, showing that the font family is "courier new,courier" and does not include "monospace". Image 3: The same website using Chrome on mobile (on both the phone and the tablet). The font is distinctly not Courier New (or Courier), but is still monospaced, salvaging at least that aspect of the text. Image 4: The same website using Firefox on mobile (on both the phone and the tablet). This displays a non-monospaced font.

The obvious fix is to simply install Courier New on the phone and tablet, which I'm working on doing (update: this is much harder than it should be). However, I think Chrome displaying a different monospaced font when the requested monospaced font is unavailable is a good user experience feature, and would like to see it mirrored in Firefox.

The enter apple id flashes (see attached) for 0.1 seconds and it immediately goes to forgot password. That doesnt work well either but if I change the pw, i still cant log in.

Hi Folks: I am a Clinical Counselor who is reinstating his license and intended to use a SAMSUNG tablet as a convenient IT resource. Unfortunately the results are less than stellar so I have reverted to my DELL LATITUDE E4300 running WINDOWS 7 as my dedicated professional IT. If there had ever been issues before, I blew them off, but I am now overwhelmed by what I am running into bringing this beast into the 21st Century. Yes I have YAHOO Mail but can easily let that go if I have to in favor of GOOGLE g-mail. The two single biggest issues are that I am on FF for much time and it continually comes up un-responsive. The other issue is that I have found an incompatible program using Troubleshooting but I am unable to find-out what that incompatibility is.

My intended out-come is simply to have a FF-based system that I can depend on as it seems to me to have always been the least encumbered browser and I am not in need of much of the bells-and-whistles other folks seem to need. It would be a blessing if someone could just point me in the right direction. BTW: On the IT Competency Scale I am about a Four.....:-)
