On certain websites, if i click on a link in the middle of a page (say I scrolled down some then clicked on a link), when i click on the back button, instead of going back to where i was on the page, it goes back to the top of the page, and i have to scroll back down to where i was. Very frustrating.

Thanks for your help!

I'm having trouble getting firefox to use the rear camera on my phone when scanning qr codes for a web page. The old solution appears to have been to reset Firefox's camera permissions and from there you could change which camera the app would use. However, this feature appears to have been removed as Firefox will now default to my selfie camera, which is very inconvenient. Is there an option I'm not able to see in the app or a work around for this issue? Thanks in advance for the help!

I've recently bought an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE( as an replacment for my A- seriers). Model: SM- X516B.

However even if this tablets has better hardware( better CPU,RAM,Battery,Screen,etc), but when since the hardware is depending on it's software; the total result will be trash.

But what I can say about Samsungs A- seriers( tablets and smartphones), is that they are trash. It's more of an low budget Nokia phone back in the 1990's. Since neither of this models can/ is capable to multitask ( tabs and apps)

However what's the basic difference an Tab and Smartphone, is basicaly; 1. A bigger screen 2. Larger battery 3. In some cases better hardware,such as the screen,but also better CPU and RAM.

In wich the hardware is just junk,and that the software is also junk( unstable), but also that there are no compatibel apps ( besides the already pre- installed). But the most embaresment is that not even G- maps is compatibel( or neither of other basic Google services). Since I myself had tryed many navigation apps on ny device. I sadly found many of them incompatibel. But also in general terms.

But since this product family of tablets came in 5 different models. 1. S9 with an 11" AMOLED 2. S9+ with an 12.4" AMOLED 3. S9 Ulutra with an 14.6 " AMOLED 4. S9 FE with an 10.9 " LCD screen ( in wich I have) 5. S9 FE+ with an 12.4"LCD Screen ( wich is similar to the regular + model)

However since this models came with some extra features 1. An capacitive touch screen 2. An stylus( or an S- pen).

Since this model came with an stylus( capacitive touch screen), it means that I can use either my stylus or my finger( in wich is an standard today).

But as well since my stylus have some extra features( will not mention all,but it's quite easy to read more about this functions on Samsungs web). But what I can say is that there are not so many functions that are affected( incompatibel); Firefox simply don't understand this comands( ignores them).

Since this models( product family) is capable to multitask, but however it seems that Firefox isn't capable to do so.

However when I have an opend tab( in private mode); for an example a cast from youtube. And meanwhile I also would have another tab opend( just to read something else about an artist). What will happend is that the cast is muting/ pauses. However I can easy resume without start from beginning.

However it works fine with many other casts( mostly from local public service broadcast= radio or tv). For an example for me here in Sweden we have 2 tv casts and 1 radio ( www.svtplay.se, www.urplay.se, www.sr.se). Since the problem is with youtube( and also with similar cast that is casting music online).

Both of this cast can handle multitasking ( not only separare tabs,but aswell also multipel apps). Since I've also have experienced that when I'm entering Full Screen mode( in svtplay), that the app is shutting down( not crashing,but returing to the home menu,with all widgets). But stragly I can manage to resume my cast,but since the web adress is also missing( not physicaly,just an blank adress- field. So if go back in the menu,the web adress is there)

It's also incompatibel ( don't understand), that I also can type with my stylus. Because what's the problem ( lack of compatibility) is that when I would type in a new web- adress. ( in the web- adress field), firefox don't seems to understand this comand. It just ignores this comand,and activates other comands. However normaly the keyboard will show up. But what strange is if I do it the old fashion way( using my finger); the keybowrd is showing up. Then I can type what I will.

It's also annoying that when I copy something( for an example an e- mail adress,a phone nr,a zip code) etc I only can handle one copy at a time( like on normal PC). However it seem that there is an option to handle multipel once.

More recently the address bar at the top of firefox mobile covers the top of a web page. But it doesn't always do it and it doesn't seem to be limited to certain sites as I've just had it happen on a site which was fine earlier on in the week. This is especially a pain on sites such as the BBC where there are menus at the top that you need to navigate the site. It's even happened on Amazon.

It's so annoying that you ask for my password when I'm already logged in obviously. I'm on the same phone the same internet at the same address you should know by now it's me. And then nobody remembers the password even though they said they remembered it and I don't remember it. And it says if I reset my password I'm going to lose all the bookmarks and all of my logins. What the heck? Why isn't there always option just to login with my Google account? It does sometimes but not always.
