Firefox for Android Support Forum

Hello, before the update, I had a script working in the greasemonkey add-on, but after the update, this add-on is not available. I really need the information from that script, because it is not saved anywhere else, but I can't view it in the browser.

First and foremost I am trying to find the homepage. I have read articles on how to set the homepage but the images don't look like my Android app. I will attach screenshots I have my settings and nowhere does it say anything about home. Any ideas of how to set a homepage so that I will have one place to go to when I first start when I open Firefox that would be awesome cuz right now I don't like the way it set up. it takes me to my account page and I can't do anything.

My next question is tabs. I don't see anything about opening a new tab or setting a new tab so any information on that would be most appreciative.

Thanks for anyone who will assist.

Hey I think version 69 still had the 'Recently closed tabs' view, but I cant find it on version 81. I already searched this site and also googled it.

I closed a tab accidentaly that i opened some time ago. So searching through my history won't do it since it was an article of a site where i opened and read like 20 articles, I also cant remember the name of it.

I guess it was removed in favour of a more simplistic UI? If so I would really like the devs to consider adding that back in, I know that there is an option for reopening the tab right after closing it, but it is possible to miss it or your device just bugging/slowing down on you when you do this. This happened a few times to me.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there, Firefox team. I've been going through the Play Store checking the reviews of the new firefox (android) browser updates. And the people are mad I know, lol. As for me, I've loved the update. I know you guys are at it 100% for making it best for everyone, I just felt like sending this note to the whole team in the middle of all the mad and angry support questions you guys must be getting to make you feel you're not alone and a good percentage of people are finding the new update 5 stars worthy. :)

I hope this message reaches the team. Also, a note to the reader - Don't be selfish, share the note with the whole team. YOU DO YOU, MOZ TEAM! 5 STARS TO ALL OF YOU!

If I set the Menu + Desktop Site toggle, then select a bookmark, the Desktop Site toggle is ignored, and reset.

This makes it impossible to load a bookmark targeted for a desktop site.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this oversight.

What does "1 has this problem / 1 person has this problem" mean anything? I've been seeing it, appeared at some of my questions & my one reply; Please let me know.

I don't know if this is an issue being encountered by anyone else, but few days ago all of a sudden twitter.com stopped opening on Firefox for Android. I trying disabling all my add-ons and turning of protection as well, nothing.

The windows browser is having no issues at all. But for some reason the android just won't open twitter. Everytime I try I get the error: "Cannot Complete Request

Additional information about this problem or error is currently unavailable."

Tried on a different network and a different mobile browser, all seems to be working. Any ideas?

Yesterday I tried downloading a document but it failed to do so. Since then, the 'Download failed' message keeps popping up as a warning in Android. I can't acknowledge it by clicking on the message, but I can swipe it away until it comes back within about 2-30 minutes. The message seems to appear only when Firefox is not running in the foreground. There are no tabs open and this download is not available in the Downloads list. I can't clear the downloads list by the way, which is weird.

I already forced a shutdown of the app and cleared the cache. I haven't tried to clear all data as I don't want to set up the app all over again. I'm sure that works but that's not the solution for this.

I'm not sure why Firefox still bothers to call tabs, "tabs". A tab was originally called that because of its similarity to a filing cabinet's physical tabs where you can see the tab markers and use your thumb to quickly select one. As far as I can see Firefox for Android no longer has tabs. There's no tab bar (and even the URL bar is auto-hidden) and to see the 'tabs' you have to drag down, then select a button and then flip your brain from expecting to see a horizontal row of tabs to a vertical list of them. Similarly, to create a new tab used to involve taping on a plus sign in the same place, right next to the other tabs in the bar. Now, to make a new one you have to redirect your attention from the top of the screen (where tabs have always beenl to a plus sign down the bottom. This smacks of just changing things for the hell of it.

So.... The big ask..... is there any way to get back to the system and layout I'm used to and that I still use without a moment's though when I use Chrome? (Which I'd still rather not do all the time...). I'd like my tabs back please.

There are options in settings menu that is talked about in the community but I can't seem to find them. Use Web Apps in firefox for android but what the support page reads I don't have that option to do so or I just can't find it. Please help. I've attached a screenshot of firefox for android settings menu to better help you understand what I'm asking. Thank you, SMB

Hello, recently I've saw that the add-on google search fixer is on the recommended list for android but it's not available in the add-on manager for us to install it. Will this change with a newer version of an android release or is it a mistake?

Where is youtube backround play addon,or any video website backround player addon...you can not multitask,do nothing...annoying...whats the latest version who supports the video backround playback?.... you ppl.. claim is a free browser... not anymore... money talks...shame ive use it for decades....

I want to remove or set my home screen to something else other than the Firefox default.

I've managed to remove everything from the default home screen, which is a start. But I don't want a home screen at all.

Ideally, Firefox would just resume as it was the previous time it opened. That's how it worked until a recent update.
