Android 14, One UI 6.0, Samsung S22+

Firefox is using a large amount of battery while idle. You can see my app runs open a lot of the day, but not in use much. It has drained 20 percent of one days battery, and I am watching YouTube videos on another app (Grayjay btw check it out!) and it has used far less battery. If I set Firefox into a sleeping state, the app still drains a lot of battery. When in deep sleep,it stops draining as much power, but then Android keeps auto pushing their own browser to be my primary browser. I'm not sure what to do in this case, as it's too much of a hassle to have links not auto open in Firefox when in deep sleep. This excessive battery drain doesn't make sense, and I was wondering if there was any fix for this. Thanks for taking the time.

Hello, I've been having issues with the Firefox app on my Android ever since the most recent update on 4th of July. Whenever I tap the "tabs" button, the tabs viewer opens as always, but if I try to scroll and browse the tab, or if I try to close any of the visible tabs, the whole app crashes. Because of that, I can only switch between tabs by swiping, but it can be annoying if you're used to using many tabs like myself. I have cleared my cache multiple times and it didn't help. I am not too tech-savvy but is there any way to fix it? Thank you!

Hi, let me describe my problem:

I enabled pull to refresh gesture function and until recently it worked great. But I noticed odd behavior recently: To activate pull to refresh, one should "pull from top", right? But if I just drag from middle to top to just scroll through website, it refreshes as if I pull from top.

This happens only when I moved to new pages. For example, I clicked a post in reddit to open that post >> the post opens, I try to scroll the page to see post comments >> and boom the page refreshes. After that this won't happen in the same page.

I hope to find solution and currently disabled pull to refresh.

Thank you.

Horizontal menu on a web site changed suddenly, no change made to web site

Hello!

A web site I frequent, livebyliving.org, has a menu structure running horizontally across the top of the pages. Each option has a pull-down sub-menu. Yesterday afternoon or evening that menu turned into the three bar menu icon in the upper corner of the pages and the horizontal menu disappeared. When I click the three bar icon the entire menu structure is displayed vertically.

Firefox on my Android tablet was updated November 26. I used the site in question numerous times since that update and the menu was displayed correctly. It displayed correctly yesterday morning, Nov 29. In the evening, when I went to use the site, the menu behavior had changed. I also note the change when using my Android phone. The last Android update for my tablet was February 6, 2023.

I tested with Chrome and Google today and they display the menu correctly so it seems as if something specific to Firefox changed yesterday.

I've attached three screen shots. The first is the correct behavior with the horizontal menu. The second image shows the same page with the changed menu presentation. The third image shows the sub-menu presentation after whatever changed.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

No Login Pop-Up Window on Mobile Site

I'm unsure if this is a Firefox Mobile issue (since the site's login pop-up works just fine on my laptop that I also use FF on), or an issue with the website itself, but I've already emailed the site about it and got no response yet. So, figured I'd try here. Also, I just tried re-enabling Chrome to truly see if this is browser or app related and sadly this works on Chrome's Mobile but not FF's.

On the mobile and desktop version of this site: thingstogetme.com

There's an option to login with Facebook or Apple ID. The Apple ID pop-up works fine, but the Facebook one does not. Again, this is only an issue on Mobile. The Facebook option will turn a darker blue once you tap on it, indicating it's been selected, but nothing will happen. If you tap the page, it'll go back to its regular, un-selected blue.

I've turned off uBlock Origin, switched between mobile and desktop pages, refreshed, nothing works for this problem. Thus this essentially soft-locks me out of this site unless I use my laptop.

I keep getting a message on screen saying "page refuses to load"; I don't know if it's a problem with the search engine or the browser (I have been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine recently). I haven't used Firefox for years now, and have never used it on my own device so I'm still getting to know it.

After the latest update to firefox on android, the Openweb discussion function is missing from at least 3 websites that work on other browsers.

Thedrive.com Twz.com and Newsweek.com

All the above use Openweb discussion function on their websites but firefox does not show them at all.

I checked using Samsung internet browser and the discussions are visible, unlike firefox.

I use ublock extension along with ghostery and privacy badger, but diisabling them or complete removal does not make the discussions visible.

I have deleted the firefox and reinstalled it after the update but the problem persists.

If I want to see the discussions on the thedrive.com or twz.com, I have to use the Samsung internet browser for that.

Could use a fix so I don't have to jump between two browsers.

Hey 👋🏼

I have an issue with the Facebook 'recent post' feed: Only two posts were displayed in the 'recent post' feed and then a spinning loading symbol is at the bottom - then nothing else is loading on my OnePlus 12 and Google Pixel 6, Firefox version 126.0.

In Microsoft Edge it is working, all posts are loaded correctly, so it seems to be a browser issue.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

It's the same problem as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420806

Even though destop site mode in the pull down menu on the right is turned off it's affecting my site like it's turned on. I also can't turn it on to turn it off since it just stays off when I click on it. Also I'm not sure if this helps but everything now opens as a destop site instead of phone site when I open something new.
