Firefox for Android Community Forum

(On android samsung, using mobile browser) When I use fullscreen mode on the mobile Youtube website, the fullscreen breaks the screen rotation mode when i leave the firefox app and bring it back into focus. It will force (if possible) all tabs currently open into horizontal mode, and I have to navigate back to that youtube page, click the fullscreen button, exit fullscreen, then navigate to other tabs to fix it... temporarily. If I leave firefox again and navigate to the same tab that had the bugged video, it will start to force horizontal orientation again. It does not do this all the time, but it does this often enough while I am watching videos.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

I have set my phone to switch between light and dark mode on schedule. Everytime it does so, Firefox doesn't theme refresh correctly. Usually, the search bar will be on the old theme and I'll need to close Firefox as an active app and restart it to refresh correctly. This also means websites looking for theme refresh signals from the browser do not pick it up correctly and thus the browsing experience is visually jarring. This issue has been around for more than a year. Reinstalling Firefox hasn't helped. This is a bug in the browser code and can be reproduced on my Android tablet as well.

I've created a passkey for logging in to Google.

When trying to log in to Google within Firefox on my Pixel 9 phone, I'm automatically taken to the page where I should be prompted to enter my passkey, but no prompt actually appears, so there's no way for me to actually enter my passkey. (See attached screenshot.)

To be clear, I can still tap "Try another way" and log in using other methods, such as via an approval prompt sent to my other devices.

This problem does not happen on my Samsung tablet. When I try to log in to Google within Firefox on my tablet, I'm given the choice to log in via various methods, and if I choose to use a passkey, I *am* given a prompt to enter my passkey.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Firefox (148.0.2) for android (15). I have failed download and can not restart nor delete it - it ignores restart and delete buttons. It's just been sitting here "In progress" for months. How to get rid of it?

Unable to view the subfolders in the bookmarks folder when I add or edit bookmarks:

three vertical dot icon > bookmark page > edit > bookmarks > tap on ">" next to "bookmarks" to view the subfolders

This problem started happening after the latest update.

When I'm watching videos on twitch, ads are still playing even though I have ad blockers on. The blockers will work for about a day, but then the next it just doesn't block any ads anymore.

The browser recognizes Russian on the website as English and automatically translates it into "Russian," but what it actually produces is a jumble of letters that are neither Russian nor English. Essentially, the browser is translating from Russian—which I don't need to translate, since I'm from Russia—into an incomprehensible, non-existent language. And I can't turn off automatic translation of Russian because it's not available. There's a toggle switch: "Never translate English," but that doesn't work for Russian. You can click "Never translate this site" on the website itself, but the problem is that it's for a single website. It means I have to turn off translation and reload the website every time I visit a Russian-language website. This is very inconvenient. I ask you to add an option to disable translation of an entire language, not just English or a specific website.

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

When I navigate through multiple pages on the phone, especially when the connection quality is not very good, the whole app sometimes stop loading anything.

1. Open multiple pages or SPA that would frequently make XHR requests during usage (like X/Twitter) 2. Navigate though those pages, make actions that is definitely going to initiate new http requests 3. Repeat until some contents staying in load progress 4. You'll get blank page if you open new page from now on 5. Killing the process (in app details) would reset this behavior.

Feels like there is a connection or worker thread pool that is running out of available resources.
