I own a Samsung Fold 5 phone. I have set the outer display used when the phone is folded to 300dp. The inner unfolded width is set to 601dp.

Up until very recently, when I folded or unfolded my phone, websites would resize. Often switching between layouts made for phones and layouts made for tablets or desktops. This still happens in Chrome. But no longer does in Firefox. Instead the site has the same resolution in both modes, making the text too small to read when folded. This effectively makes Firefox unusable unless I unfold my phone. Please make Firefox respect the resolution I have set for each mode again so I can view websites at a width of 300px in folded mode like I used to.

Note I have the slider for "desktop site" turned off. When I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The slider doesn't activate and the resolution does not change. (But the page does reload.) This used to give me the option of 3 different resolutions for my screen, (300 folded, 601 unfolded, and something like 1024 in desktop mode.) I'm not sure if desktop mode is permanently turned on now, or if the phone is set to permanently use 601 width, but it is definitely not using the 300 width I used to get when folded. The desktop mode slider is to the left and will not change.

I opened site settings and turned off always request desktop site and nohing changed. I am still unable to get the 300 width site I need to be able to use Firefox on a folded phone.

I will have to stop using Mozilla after many years - sad. But I am getting links blocked by stupid error messages about security when the sources are well known and protected. Today it was the Journal of the American Medical Association. I have no time to deal with this nonsense.

I get "unable to connect" on links from a google search. I can manually type the url from the link, and it goes to the site.

This has started recently, no matter what I search for.

I deleted data, in settings, re connected my mozilla account, and it's still happening.

For some reason any bottom toolbar in firefox (youtube is for example) is not completely at the bottom. After tinkering around the settings a bit I found that the Scroll to Hide Toolbar setting when disabled is the exact height of the toolbar offset. I'm not seeing that many solutions to this online that's recent.

Greetings, I installed the Layup Android app in July 2024 then a few weeks later, certain websites have been automatically opening in the default Firefox browser Android app. Here are some examples: 1. GIRLS - Play GIRLS Games at Games.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour&t=BrAr13rruLXgzjC2Mukl3YAWJB0Wrlzxm2g2baIXND2lpbdvmZqzbkDgIqe-4d5ddaHImn52FjbSuzOwuV90jb1r51VR84SlCkByBx6C6bfeWPY_Ca-u2X_WISE7gw3Oe-5wLWrtOkg6dedyMegY0vA-lgQW219QEFCVewKBXx7MeqD7yL6jM4-M0VX6zon2wPoDyyyxa0rJczvf 2. h5.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour 3. 3D - Play 3D Games at Webgame.budgyinfo.com - https://webgame.budgyinfo.com/games?type=3D

I have since uninstalled the Layup app and deleted the browser data, but these sites are still opening in the browser even when my cell is idle. Please advise how to block these domains or another remedy. Greatly appreciated
