Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.

Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

Re-enable "Settings" and "Quit" in︙menu using about:config?

I updated and now "Settings" & "Quit" aren't in the ︙menu. They're hidden and I have to swipe up a second time to see them. This interferes with my workflow, as I use "Quit" dozens of times a day and it used to be effortlessly accessible via a single finger flick.

How do disable this hiding of "Setting" and "Quit"? Is there an about:config option I can toggle?

I am using Iceraven-2.23.1 (Build #2016045162), which is based on Firefox for Android and allows all users to use about:config

(If there is no about:config to disable it, let me know the last version before this was changed, and I'll use that instead.)

Could we add an auto-close tab option for Android?

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I have encountered several issues while using Firefox, particularly with tab synchronization between devices and general performance when switching profiles. It seems that tabs do not sync reliably, and there are significant slowdowns when managing profiles on my Android device.

I would appreciate it if you could guide me towards the best way to resolve these issues, or let me know if there is a workaround available. I am an avid Firefox user and would love to see these issues resolved.

Thank you for your help and support.

Best regards Tibor

Starting yesterday my phone apparently self enabled Caller ID to display Caller as unknown.

Is this a case of infiltration.

Also when I type on the keyboard letters don't seem to sync with the key I typed, please your assistance will be highly appreciated and remove the grief. Typing is rather slow you might type a specific key, yet the letters are spaced involuntarily

Greetings. I bought a new phone and downloaded the latest version of FF for Android. I use Private Browsing mode on both phines. This new version has the Search Suggestions from Boommarks and I don't like it. It's too distracting for me. My question: How do I turn it off? Thank you.
