Firefox for Android Support Forum

In Firefox my theme is followed after the system theme, but there is a problem. My system theme automatically switches between day/night and after such switch I open Firefox app, it has broken colors everywhere, until I close the app and reopen it again.

Sometimes, when I type a search query or a page address and hit enter, nothing happens, the keyboard is closed and nothing more happens - a blank page - no loading or anything (the same applies when you try to type a page URL).

I use the latest Firefox (124) on Sony Xperia 5IV.

I could attach a video but unfortunately only images are supported.

I encountered page refresh problem everytime. today i was paying bill on firfox and i was redirected to UPI app to complete payment, but when i came back to firefox page, it refreshed and whole progress and payment stuck. please resolve this issue soon.

All video players on websites will, if viewed in full screen, close the firefox app on my android device. The app gets minimized and can be opened back, but all pages become bugged then and appear in half the page only, links cannot be copied either, the page will only work partially when my phone is held horizontally. This issue happens with or without auto-rotate enabled. The bug most often happens as soon as I set a video on full-screen, but can happen while the video is playing also. I tried disabling all of my add-ons and the bug still persists(I will attach a photo of my addon list). Here is a video of the bug after the app closed and I reopened it.

Dear team, 1) thanks for your work! 2) I can observe a quite important problem which could make me uninstall the app. Mozilla is now draining much power, even while not using it (e.g. at night where I can monitor the problem). I can observe that since I switched to a pixel 8 phone. (Which has itself a poor living battery). The phone can hardly survive a day and a night without being charged. And when charged on everything. It can loose up to 30% battery until the morning. Another phone could be 5%. What really strange is android show me that during that period of time Mozilla was responsible for 90% of this leakage. I had sync enabled.(Tabs, history and bookmarks) I removed it, but the leaked percentage of Mozilla at night stays around 70%.

Steps: - create an iframe without src - create click event listener on any other element - set iframe src to on click to some url that supports "go to application" e.g. YouTube embed url

Expected: Iframe shows youtube video on element click

Actual: Firefox asks to open a new tab or open an app, and never shows this in iframe

Fix for developers: Recreate the iframe with the src

It only works on ff android, we spent literally hours to catch this bug

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

When a private tab is opened, it lets me know in the silent notifications on my phone with the "swipe or tap to close" the tab/s. However, once I close the private tab that notification remains. When I click or swipe the notification it goes for a second and comes back despite not having a private tab open. Even with normal tabs open it does the same thing. Force stopping the app gets rid of it but the second a private tab is opened it returns.

I understand I can just turn off that notification but it's useful to have. Was just wondering if there is a fix or setting anyone knows of or how I can report this to Mozilla?

Thank you

Hi, I have a problem with my firefox app. Everytime I play or skip a port of a video, it plays stuttering and return normal only If I rewind some second (if I pause it nothing change). Anyone knows why? Is there some way to solve this problem? I have deleted every data, cookies etc, every add-on and reinstalled the app but nothing changed. I also formatted every setting of my device but same result. Oh, also, this problem don't happen with other apps like gallery or chrome video (I hope bitrate doesn't cause problems).) .

I keep trying Firefox browser once in a while for many reasons such a giving it a try to see the improvements, to give it a chance to become my daily driving browser but small niggles such as below doesn't give confidence to make it a default browser.

In website gsmarena.com on mobile Firefox browser when you type in search field, while website tried to dynamically show all matching phone models to a letter that you just typed, browser and keyboard just starts to lag and freeze before it can accept any further input of letter typing. Don't have this issue with other browsers.

In Android settings I change timezone to Kazakhstan/Almaty (GMT+5). Time now is 16:47. When in Firefox, in JS I create new Date() object, it return time 17:46 GMT+6.

I am having troubles playing back mp3s of a podcast. It's not happening on every episode, only certain ones. A link to one where it's happening: http://372pages.com/episode-5-several-discreet-openings

I know that the episode is only about 2 hours long but when I try to play the episode, it shows as 6:06:55. The playback also acts oddly, jumping around if you ff/rewind or even pause.

If I try it in Chrome or Edge it shows as 2:09:21

Any info or help would be appreciated!

Videos will immediately start playing upon loading a page, even with Firefox set to 'block audio and video'. This happens on YouTube and Reddit.

Autoplay blocking only works if the page is opened in a new tab.

Hello,

I'm facing a severe battery drain issue that occurs with all of the current Firefox versions for Android (Stable, Beta, Nightly). I have noticed that the problem mainly arises when I have played any type of video through the browser, such as a YouTube video or any auto-playing html video through a website. And I don't mean that the battery drain occurs WHILE I have the browser open, I mean in the background, after I have exited Firefox. I have also installed GSAM battery monitor with the necessary ADB battery stats permission given, and it seems that the "Video On" wakelock is always on with Firefox. It's like that the thread that plays the video has not stopped, even if I have force closed Firefox, and killed the video tab. For example, I'm attaching two screenshots from the battery monitor, where I have previously opened Firefox and played a video for like 15 seconds (see the "Audion On"), then immediately closed all the tabs and force closed the application. As you can see, the "Video On" has not stopped, like the "Audio On" wakelock, and continues to count (35 minutes). This may go on forever, such as if I leave the phone at night, I'll wake up the next day with Firefox video wakelock displaying something like 15 hours of playback (something that of course, is not true). The only way to stop the drain, is to restart the phone and not open Firefox.

Though, the issue may not even be related with video playback. I have read in the forums (like here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1432706) that other people are facing this issue as well, and worked around it by not using Firefox as the default browser. I have not tried it but, even if it works, this is not at all convenient. Other posts on reddit that verify the same issue I am having: https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/18xh7w3/why_is_firefox_using_all_this_battery_i_havent/ https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/18zlow0/since_android_14_video_seems_to_be_the_top/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/174d13d/firefox_excessive_battery_usage_on_android/

I do not wish to switch to chromium based browsers. Please take a look at the issue and let me know. Thanks a lot.
