I now have the problem that I am on a large payment page and switch back and forth between FF and another app (to copy payment-relevant data). Unfortunately, FF does a page refresh every time it is brought back to the foreground from the background. And all the data already entered is lost! This is a fairly well-known problem with FF on Android! Chromium manages this better and leaves the memory management to Android. Why can't FF do that? Why can't I switch off this feature? I can't edit any relevant websites with the FF. I have to use Chrome for that! Hooray!

Dear Mozilla Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to provide feedback regarding the data usage of Firefox, Firefox Beta, and Firefox Nightly on my Android device.

I have noticed that a significant amount of data is being consumed by these applications, even when I am not actively using them or have not made any specific changes to their settings. This has raised concerns for me, as I strive to manage my data usage effectively.

I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue and provide any insights or solutions that may help users like myself. Additionally, if there are any settings or features that can help reduce data consumption, I would be grateful for your guidance.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your attention

For many weeks now whenever I go online, I have used Firefox for years and years, from my home page at Google to every website I search the language comes in as Danish. I speak and read only English. Regardless what I have researched, changed, updated, and un-installed the language starts as Danish and forces me to translate to English. Thus is ridiculous! Never have I had this problem until recently and I truly do not appreciate the extra time I must take to translate or perform the functions listed above which lists waste my time and makes me really think about my years of using Firefox. Why is this? Why does it not stay fixed? What does Firefox need to do to correct thus permanently? Why should I remain a customer if Firefox can't or won't fix this problem?

  1. Sometimes I use the browser while the system is in dark mode.
  2. Then I switch system to light mode. FF recognizes it and switches to light mode accordingly.
  3. Then I use it in light mode for a little more.
  4. Then some time passes (maybe a few hours), I don't use FF during that time.
  5. Then, I tap on FF icon, the browser starts, but immediately switches back to dark mode, while the system is still in light mode.
  6. I have to close FF by swiping on it in task switcher, and then tap on the app again.
  7. FF now uses light/dark theme according to system.

Device: Motorola Edge 30 Neo with stock Android 14.

I am using Fennec: 124.1.0 (Build #1241020), 516df33ca9+ GV: 124.0.1-20240326023132 AS: 124.0

I've just happened to learn that Firefox on Android no longer uses a master password to protect passwords. That was a feature that has kept me on Firefox forever.

It is insufficient, dangerous, and insecure to rely on my device PIN. PINs are not long, can be brute forced, and law enforcement can compel discloser.

I am baffled by this choice. If it is how its going to be I have no particular reason to use Firefox and I certainly can't financially support it.
