Firefox for Android Support Forum

Websites are fine, but if I open up the address/search bar firefox instantly begins to lag and there is a serious (5 seconds or so) delay between typing and the text appearing.

I have tried disabling search features (search from history, search bookmarks), I have tried disabling add-ons, and I have tried clearing the app cache

Weirdly enough, this problem persists on Firefox Nightly, which I had never downloaded before just now.

Please help.

Hello,

my Firefox on Android running on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 suddenly stopped working after five years. It does not display the content of the web page even though it loads it completely. I can see only blank page. I concluded that the website is fully loaded because on a “blank” page I can tap on any link that is then loaded, but the website still ends up being completely blank.

I tried the following: - clean firefox cahche - reinstall firefox - reboot the phone several times - install other versions of Firefox (nightly, firefox for Android Beta, Quantum)

Nothing helped.

Chrome browser is running normally.

I haven't changed anything from the settings on my mobile phone, nor have I added any new apps. I've had a problem for the last week since, I guess, since the last update was released.

I'm in a bad situation because Firefox is my favorite browser that I use on five devices connected to the cloud.

P.S.

By searching this forum I found that it was some kind of bug in Firefox, but that was more than two years ago and the problem was marked as fixed.

Please help and advice.

Bonjour, J'avais créé un site perso Il y a plusieurs années avec des applets java (pour faire défiler des photos et images sur le site...). Le site en question est très basique et "bricolé " avec les faibles connaissances que j'avais d'Internet à l'époque..... et que j'ai toujours. Site ==> Landeslocation.pagesperso-orange.fr Aujourd'hui, cela ne fonctionne plus .... message affiché = Pour visualiser les animations, votre navigateur doit être compatible avec les scripts Java(tm). Mon navigateur Internet est Firefox sur Android Y a-t-il un remède pour les visualiser à nouveau ? Quelles sont les alternatives.? Je ne suis ni informaticien, ni geek !! Une solution simple sera très appréciée. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Cordialement.

Firefox 68.11 runs on my new Amazon Fire HD just fine, but within a couple of days it gets upgraded to the current version and never runs again. There seems to be no way to prevent the upgrade. The details: The latest android version runs, but any attempt to access the internet. If I could stop the automatic updating, I could run firefox. If I can't stop the automatic update then Firefox self-destructs and I will have to move Chrome. I've been a user since Mosaic and Netscape, and I don't want to be forced to change.

Question inappropriately asked in Foxfire beta. Sorry for the duplicate

Updated an old version of foxfire to the new 83.1.0 (Build #2015776401) version. And now I can't upload any images from my device:

Coolpad 3310A Android 8.1.0

Would upload an image, yet the "Add images (optional)" "Browse" button on here doesn't work.

Is there something I am not understanding here to get it to work?

Have cleared everything and force stopped then restarted.

Browse button does work on new version of Dolphin browser.

In the Nov 20th and Nov 21st Nightly builds, when I enter a URL in the address bar (either by fully typing it and tapping Enter, or by partially typing it and tapping on one of the autocomplete suggestions), the onscreen keyboard remains in place.

The behaviour in previous builds (and in my view the desired behaviour) was that the onscreen keyboard disappeared in order not to take up screen space that the web page could use.

I almost always have to tap multiple times....like 7 or 8 times ... to get a link to open. This happens on almost all sites...google, mozilla.org, my own site. Responses are immediate if I go into FireFox settings and tap around. Also, all other taps are immediate...like mail, calculator, etc. That includes tapping a link in an email. The page will open with one tap but then any links on the page will take many taps.

The phone is a Sony Model G8441 running Android 9. Build number 47.2.A.11.228

good morning, on my new smartphone, NOKIA 5.1 PLUS with android 10 security patch October 2020, I have installed Firefox (as previously on all other smartphones). I'm having a problem with downloading documents from sites (any type of PDF-JPG-ZIP .... etc). The downloads start but then do not download anything (you can see the download arrow at the top of the smartphone). Shortly after he goes wrong. I tried to uninstall and reinstall without solving. You can help me? thanks Federico

When trying to download anything the download apparently begins, since a notification appears on the notification panel, but it just does not properly start. It keeps trying but no progress is shown. After a while a failure message replaces the progress notification.

This isn't a network problem, since I've tried it with different connections. There used to be no problem before.

Anybody else experiencing a similar issue?

When attempting to download a Pdf file on FFA 82.1.1 (Build #2015770923), Browser popup shows file is ready for download

And then.... nothing... As it is shown on my screenshot... The file seems to being downloaded, but not. The folder "Download" stays empty...

With Chrome it works perfectly...

Tried with : https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/content/download/124824/999521/file/30-10-2020-justificatif-de-deplacement-scolaire.pdf?#xtor=AD-326

This issue has been described in this post but not solved. https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/1297466?page=1

Please help me : I'm just a new user of FFA (default navigator) and I'm trying to resist to go back to Chrome!

The latest version of Firefox constantly crashes on my Huawei M3 tablet I am unable to send a crash report because it crashes while retrieving them . I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing the cache.

Like the title says but first some context Since the horrible android browser REDESIGN this has happened, never before, im using the latest version and this has happened with every update since that unneeded and unwanted NEW firefox came out Before i could have up to 60 tabs in normal navigation, and the same amount in private, watch videos and animations at least ten tabs of those on each browsing section, the worst that could happen eas all private tabs would close and that was on rare cases Now it (closing)tends to happen 3 days or so, no matter how many on normal navigation or even private but the recurring thing is, opening videos sometimes work, but sometimes the entire browser crashes and with each crash all normal tabs dissapear as well and since you removed so many options including about:blank and other abouts that j knea how to use to recover pages, now is simply an entire session GONE and this has happenes 3 entire times already, the first time it happened i lost months of browsing i had prior to the dreaded update, they were gone and since, i try to use even less the browser, but is the only one with addon support(same addons i installed firefox years ago on android and guess what, none of them were active when the redesign installed the first time or worked and still the crash happened, so if none of your technicians can provide anything other than the boiler plate reaponse of " please update to the most recent version" (which both already are, firefox and android system) "disable addons" which they were the first crash, and reinstall(which i did when i tried to migrate to opera before i realized i can't install a good adblocker on their android version), then DO NOT BOTHER on answering(also, even webm format as well as many others seem to crash it JUST FINE)

Since I installed Firefox on my android phone, I cannot download anything directly from the browser. Anything I try to download returns with the "Download Failed" message, it being a photo, a .zip file, a pdf file or anything in between.

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Android 7.0. Chrome on the other hand seems to work flawlessly. Firefox is set as the default browser for the device, given all the permissions (storage, camera, microphone, etc) and set to unlimited data usage on both WiFi and mobile data. What is rather peculiar is that my friend's Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x that has firefox installed, downloads any file without error.

Attached are pics showing the issue.
