My Samsung Galaxy S5e tablet settings are set to Dark mode and work fine. My Firefox settings are set to Follow Device Mode and work fine when I am in Firefox settings. Why doesn't Google search page in Firefox go to Dark mode? If I turn on Desktop site I can turn Google dark but as long as I am on mobile page there does not seem to be anyway to enable dark mode? Any help?

I tried opening it with the file navigation of "file:///storage/..." but it didn't want to open that way, and when I tried opening the file directly firefox isn't a valid option for opening it like shown in my screenshot. Would anyone have any advice for what I could do, or try again and maybe I messed up with routing the file storage ect? The file opens and works fine in Chrome, I just want to use that as little as posible though.

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.

I had an Amazon tablet stolen from me a couple weeks ago. A few days after it was stolen, I had Amazon lock the tablet, but I know that they had access at least to my Google and Amazon accounts which were logged in on the device.

It only recently occurred to me that all of my passwords are saved in Firefox. Would they have been able to open Firefox and view all of my passwords? Would they have been able to go to websites and after the password auto filled, click show password?

Are all of my passwords compromised? And do I need to start changing all of my passwords?

When entering a login in a other app, which I have saved in Firefox, I will see the "Unlock Firefox" button appear in my keyboard, with an icon for the fingerprint sensor which is my primary screen lock, but clicking it does nothing. Sometimes this corrects itself for a while and at random times comes back. I have found other users in the Help section having this problem but have found no solution or setting that causes it.

Mostly trying to get on website I then see notation to ACTIVATE FIREFOX OR TURN ON Firefox which doesn't tell me how to turn it on, how long 42 months? to keep trying getting nowhere but frustrated

HOW DO I GET FIREFOX TO WORK FOR ME instead of me being in unpaid for indefinite term FOREVER looking thru Firefox list of my saved names and passwords and entering it myself BECAUSE ---- Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that was the whole FIREFOX EXPERIENCE, to keep track of passwords and enter them for me. Reality is every day is a game of KEEP AWAY from me any user benefit

For years, whenever I downloaded a pdf on my phone (Motorola droid), it opened in the Adobe pdf reader app. But around a month ago it stopped doing that. Instead it opens the pdf in its own url in Firefox. This is very frustrating as I cant do much of anything with the pdf there (especially search it). I've looked all over my phone for ways to change the settings back to the way they were before but I can't find anything. I've tried searching the support site but the only answers involve the browser on PC, not phone. Do you know how to make it so downloading a pdf automatically opens it in the Adobe app? Thanks.

Nintendo eshop login issue

Hello, I'm using Firefox on android and windows 10, and with both editions (with addons enabled or even without any activated), I can't make nintendo eshop webpage to show my login account, which is situated in the top right corner of the site. This is the only website that I know that doesn't like Firefox at all and is having problems with it. Sometimes my account appears there, but if I do something else within the site it disappears immediately. I'm logged in to the site and I can see my wishlist, but can't access the account page, because the icon menu doesn't load (see attached picture, top right corner). Because of this, I can't see the prices in my zone once I click on a game and also can't add the game to the wishlist, for this I have to use the console or another browser. Although I'm logged in to the site, because the account page is not loading, the website keeps telling me that I have to login in order to make any purchase. I've tried different methods and none worked. I want to know if there's a fix in making that menu load correctly? Thank you.
