Wrong language somehow. I was checking out the language settings & accidentally checked a box next to a language that I do not know. Immediately, I tried to change it back to English (U.K. version) but was unsuccessful & now I don't know what to do. I can't even guess correctly which one of the settings is the one for languages, because of course it is in a language of which I have no knowledge. Please, if someone can help? That is my most immediate problem - once that is sorted, I will need help restoring the browser with over 250 Collections on it, that just disappeared off my phone the other while I was doing some "housecleaning". Thanks, A long time fan of Mozilla, going back to the Netscape days. Sean Egan

Sometimes notifications received on Android Firefox about the tabs sent from a desktop Firefox using "Send tab" function don't do anything when tapped.

If the Firefox is open then tapping brings it to the front. If not, Firefox is started with the previously opened tabs but the page that was sent from another device is not opened. The URL is clearly visible in the notification but it is ignored. I have to type it in manually.

This only happens occasionally, most of the time the notifications work as expected but when they don't it's a major frustration because there's no way to retrieve the URLs.

two-factor authentication and samsung

Good morning - I wanted to set up two-factor authentication with your browser for security reasons. A code comes up that one uses with one's phone. I connected with it, but I couldn't finish setting up the 2FA. Here's the problem: My Samsung Note 20 Ultra has fingerprint scanning on the screen. Since I bought it, I tried using the fingerprint feature, but it is a beast to get my prints scanned and then it can hardly ever scan my print successfully. So I gave up using fingerprints altogether. So I scan your code, and it wants me to do the whole fingerprinting thing with my phone in order to set it up. It doesn't give me the option to use the security that I did choose to use with my phone. Please advise how I can get 2FA without doing all of this. Thanks. Ritva

Hello! I've got a problem with installing website's PWA on my phone through the Install option in the 3 dots menu.

The website I'm talking about is 9anime.to and it worked fine on Brave, but when I switched back to Firefox, it just does not work for some reason. It also does not make an app icon or whatever it was supposed to do.

I'll provide the google drive link for the video how it looks on my end.

I also included in the uploaded images, the Firefox version and as well my phone's version.

I've downloaded a calendar file 4 times from a website. I've checked all of my 2 download folders with internet and SD card. Not there. I 4 notifications listed next to the Firefox shortcut. Where the hell did Firefox send the files and how do I deal with the notifications. Not listed when I go into the settings. Beyond frustrating. Shouldn't be this hard. Urgh.

ON MY PHONE. I play a game on web3. For years it worked, now it does not respond. It shows the sign on screen and saved pw, BUT will not accept or function past that point. I have cleaned history, but nothing. I still play on my computer. But no longer on my phone. Sync was done. It used to work, that is what gets me.
