Firefox for Android Community Forum

My phone ran out of battery and turned off. When I turned it back on, All my open tabs in firefox were gone. However, everything else such as my browsing history bookmarks and even the "Recently Closed Tabs" section remained the same . And the missing tabs do not appear in the "Recently Closed Tabs" list either. I think it might be a but or something like that.

You know, for android, people can still choose the 3 button plan, which are background, home and return.

So, previously, If I long press return, firefox would push up a list of history pages of the current tab page, I can select to go back to any one.

But recently I found this function have disappeared. Is this function canceled, or just a bug and there's way to fix it?

Hello.

This most recent update of the Firefox app for Android has suddenly made it so that all of my bookmarks and bookmark folders are out of order. The desktop version does not have this same problem, and syncing between the desktop and mobile accounts does not seem to fix anything.

Another issue I noticed with regards to bookmarks on mobile is that where once I could pull down while in the bookmarks tab to 'refresh' the sync, this feature suddenly does not work either.

I have done 4 total clean re-installs of the app and signed back into my account each time. The app then works as normal, with no bookmarks/sync/refresh issues. Within the next day, however, the app restarts itself and the bookmarks are scrambled again with no sync refresh operating.

I have tooled around the support forums and seen that at least since Ver. 133 other people have had this same issue. The support forums are really not user intuitive and I do not know where to go to have an actual conversation with the developers instead of hoping someone responds to a thread if they feel like it.

I really enjoy using Firefox as my default browser, and have never had this issue before on mobile after any app update until now. If the developers could please take the time to look into this request and work out a solution that doesn't include re-installing the mobile app every other day, I and many others would be very appreciative.

I notice that firefox android 136.1 is consumed more battery than the other famous browser like edge, chome, brave in Android 14. I request developer to make firefox android battery efficient. Thank you..!!

The last update has broken the functionality of the comments section on YouTube. The comment section no longer loads. Also Firefox now sucksass as you are using people's data for profit. Might as well be owned by Google at this point.

I got a Galaxy s25u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from my s24u.Firefox and all it's bookmarks history and passwords have synched but my open and inactive tabs have not transfered. 2 years ago I used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from a xiaomi mi10 pro to a Galaxy s23u and firefox open and inactive tabs were transfered. Last year I got a Galaxy s24u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from the s23u to the s24u. Again all my inactive and open tabs I'm firefox were transferred. I can still see inactive tabs from 2 years ago that I opened on my s23u on my s24u but I cannot see those same tabs on my s25u. Also if I sync I can see the tabs in synced tabs but after an hour synched tabs is empty. I've had my Galaxy s25u for 6 weeks and I need to sell my s24u but I cannot because I do not want to loose all my tabs. This is costing me a lot of time and money. I also recently closed firefox on my pc (using a different firefox account to my android device) behind the main window was another open window which I then closed. This means that the entire 200 tab session is lost as firefox only has one restore point that overwrites immediately, "restore previous session" no longer exists and tab the tab session manager add on has not worked for 4 years. Mozilla is not my favourite company at the moment.

Hello Mozilla Firefox Support team, i need help on Private Realy Mask Email block. I need to Cheak blocked All Email. Please let me know where i can find all block Email Thanks

Firefox is a great Android browser but the desktop mode is unreliable and needs urgent improvement. Unlke other browsers, Firefox often forgets my desktop mode preference for sites. l enable it, but when I close and reopen the browser, it frequently reverts to mobile view. This inconsistent behavior disrupts my workflow. A consistent desktop mode is crucial; please prioritize fixing this.

For instance, I frequently use Google Sheets in desktop mode on Firefox for Android, as it provides a much better user experience. I have bookmarked the Google Sheets URL for easy access. However, every time I completely close the Firefox browser and then reopen Firefox and revisit the bookmarked Google Sheets page, the desktop mode setting is automatically disabled. I then have to manually re-enable desktop mode. Even after doing so, simply refreshing the page does not restore the previous working state. I must open the link in a new tab and re-enable desktop mode to get it to function correctly again. This issue consistently repeats every time I close and reopen the browser. It's important to note that this problem is unique to Mozilla Firefox on Android; it does not occur in other browsers like Chrome or Samsung Internet. I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate and fix this issue."

Hi everyone,

unfortunately the device "Xiaomi" ... is the one that by accident I clicked close tabs (I have a neuromuscular disease) and the all dissappeared. This Xiaomi I was bookmarking all my open tabs and inactive tabs, to move them all to the new device. Unfortunately they disappeared. everything. I switched off internet connection immediately, because syncing Because syncing to other devices is always with tabs.... and this way, I always moved the synced tabs from an android phone to Desktops, opened them there all and bookmarked.

Now last time I synced desktop (Lenovo) was one year ago. I tried on a new one with another Redmi phone, but I can't see yhe Xiaomi one, only to this new one...S 15449.

The thing is I see the bookmarks from this one to my Xiaomi, and this Redmi was synced to my Xiaomi, where it says it has the information before the accident (the Xiaomi is offline now) but it's not showing in the tabs region "see other devices" only the new S 15449.

I add some pictures. Shouldn't this device seeing the Xiaomi as it was before? I hope you could help me please 🙏🏻🥺. It was over 100 Tabs they're re very important to me. On the third photo I even can see them "opened" but how to see them here, besides what pops in my head there were there.

Best wishes, Margarita

Hi I can't find any way to turn off/on headers and footers in FF for Android (or FF Beta or FF Nightly). I thought it might be possible via about:config but I can't access that either. Any suggestions? Regards Charlie

I keep getting constant, threatening & scary messages that I have damaging Virus's et al, that will leave my debides virtually incapacitated & unusable! I do NOT download their "Bad Virus eliminators" & don't intend to! Do you have a way to check & see if my Android is near melting into a button, or worse? I have been using FireFox, then Mozilla Firefox since it was born! I pray God's Blessings over ALL of you, and thank God for you! You are THE BEST! Anna Louise ( Luci ) Wheeler Tomlin. PS: Obviously, those sending these alerts are unaware that I lost all my devices in Hurricane Helene, in Swannanoa, NC that destroyed my home and it's contents last September 27, 2024. I only have two left, but my phone & iPad is vital! Thank you very much! My Cell number: [edited phone# from public community support forum]

For a few weeks now I have been tracking down a problem with my Firefox. After using it for lets say an hour suddenly all website refuse to load ending with connection timed out message. Internet is definitely working other browsers and apps work just fine. When I close the FF and reopen it the behavior persists. Even when launching it in Troubleshooting mode the issue is the same. The only way I can get the browser working normally again is by restarting the pc (win10). This issue reappeared multiple times now almost every single day. Unfortunately I do not know how to replicate it at all because to me it appears quite random when its going to stop working. When looking at the console NetworkError: Network request failed shows up when website gives up loading. Besides other things indicating no internet connection. Any suggestion ideas how to track down what is happening when this issue pops up again?
