I'm trying to enable javascript on my firefox android mobile device. But when I type the about:config instruction in the address bar, the response firefox gives me is that it can't find that page. Why can't firefox find this page? I need to enable javascript in order to use my trusted Speechify text-to-speech app.

While browsing www.youtube.com, the site is not running smoothly. When I'm scrolling in the YouTube homepage, it's like cutting in the middle. On the other hand when watching YouTube shorts, when scrolling to a new video, it's like jumping and then loading, which seems extremely inconvenient. Overall the YouTube site is not working properly in Firefox mobile (Android 13). Note: I have tried the cookie delete option. Still persistent.

Hi, my browser on my tablet keeps making all tabs stuck in desktop mode with no way to turn it off. It started happening today when it updated to the latest Firefox Android 133. The desktop mode toggle is set to off, and when I click it it still is set to off and it's still in Desktop mode. When I copy the URL to another tab I can turn desktop mode off, but that gets reset to on whenever the browser is killed in the background.

I've tried force closing the app and clearing cache, any help would be appreciated.

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

I used to be able to hold the back button down so I could see a short history for the current tab, and I'm not sure if it was an update or a bug, but does anyone know if it's possible to enable it in about:config? It's really useful when you're trying to go back but a redirect is preventing you.

As the title says, on the NEC LAVIE Tab T11 11QHD2, a tablet device, the UI for tablets does not appear, and instead the UI for smartphones is forcibly displayed. The screen size is 11.2 inches, which is not the size that would allow for a smartphone UI. This is a very frustrating bug, so please fix it.

device NEC LAVIE Tab T11 11QHD2

OS version Android 13

  • We have found a serious bug where the official support site does not work when the set language is Japanese, and when you try to send a request, you are returned to the initial screen, and are sent round in circles forever without ever reaching the request submission screen.

This bug does not occur when the set language is English, but it is a serious bug so please fix this as well.

Original text before machine translation 題名の通り、タブレット端末である、NEC LAVIE Tab T11 11QHD2 で、タブレット向けのUIにならず、強制的にスマホ向けUIになってしまいます。 画面サイズは11.2インチであり、スマホ向けUIになる画面サイズではありません。 非常に困る不具合ですので、修正をお願いいたします。

※公式のサポートサイトが設定言語が日本語だと機能しておらず、リクエストを送信しようとすると、初期画面に戻ってしまい、永遠にリクエスト送信画面にたどり着けないままたらい回しになる深刻な不具合が見つかりました。 この不具合は設定言語が英語だと発生しませんが、深刻な不具合ですのでこちらも修正をお願いします。

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.
