Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have an s25 Ultra and everyrhing was working fine with firefox but within the span of an hour, I would do a search and any search engine I was use (I usually use Duck Duck Go) would make the font very small rather than use the Automatic font sizing option. It seems to have turned off on its own even when showing as active. What could be causing this and how to make the text fit to screen again?

Like most crossword sites, only the active word is supposed to be highlighted. Starting late on 11/19, the highlighting has gone haywire. I have attached an image.

Maybe it deselects when the focus shifts, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it shows which square is active, maybe it doesn't. Eventually, I back up a page and then return, which clears the highlighting but not the words.

I've tried actually quitting Firefox and restarting, but it didn't help.

Thank you for any help!

Hi there,

Firefox desktop and Fennec Android are syncing everything perfectly, including tabs from Fennec in Firefeox, except for when I try to view tabs from Firefox in Fennec I get the message: "You don't have any tabs open in Fennec on your other devices".

I have tried to figure out what's causing this and have searched for answers but I can't figure it out. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please. Appologoes if this is something obvious I've just missed.

Many thanks,

Have be3n hav8ng this problem for at least a week, on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 with Android 14 (One UI). About 20cto 30 seconds after launch, the browser abruptly closes back to the home screen. Have tried resetting the tablet, clearing some old apps out, etc., but thr problem persists.

I have dumped the latest Mozilla Crash Report from my browser. Apparently, there is an issue with memory:

Can SOMEONE help me figure this out, what should I do, etc.? I am going crazy fighting this..

I'm using Firefox 145.0.2. Every time I try to get directions from google maps, it asks me if I want to open it in the app. When I say no, it tries anyway and fails.

I don't have the maps app installed. I've set Firefox as my default browser, set open links in apps to never, and cleared the default behavior for the Google maps app. (I don't know why an app I don't have has a default behavior.)

Is there anything else I should try?

I’m using a decent mid-range phone, and I usually keep only two apps in the recent apps list and a single tab open in Firefox. But every time I switch from Firefox to another app... like the gallery or file manager to upload a file or attach a PDF... the Firefox tab reloads when I come back. This completely resets whatever I was doing on the site, which is extremely frustrating.

The browser feels too memory-hungry and poorly optimized, even when I’m using just one tab. At this point, I’m honestly considering uninstalling Firefox and switching to a different browser, even though I’ve been using Firefox as my default on both Windows and Android for years. I really don’t like the Chromium-based alternatives, but it feels like my hands are tied.

Greetings,

In the current version of Firefox, I spotted an issue. I'm inclined to believe it's related to Firefox, as I did not encounter it in other apps/browsers. Whenever I try to edit the text in the address bar, I cannot scroll from side to side. I can only edit within the length of the bar itself.

My device is the OnePlus 12, running android 16 and the latest version of Firefox as of writing.

On a side note, did the developers remove the "select all tabs" feature?

Thanks in advance.
