When I use Firefox on and android TV box and I want to access to a page it keeps re directing me to google.com It started a few updates ago then it stopped with one version and now it does it again. Version of Firefox is 104.2.0 (build #2015902897) it doesn't have about:config and I can't find any solution on the net. I appreciate the help

Firefox for Android 110.0.1

I have created a simple HTML login form (code pasted below). In the past it worked perfectly using Firefox on Android but now when I tap inside the email field the Suggested logins link appears above my keyboard as normal and, when I click on it, a list of suggested logins is presented as normal. If I tap on one of the suggested logins (A URL with ...... underneath representing the password) I am taken back to the login form but the suggested login has not populated the email and password fields which are still empty. So, I have to type or copy and paste the email and password into the fields in order to be able to login.

I have pasted the code below.

<meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Document</title>

Login

<form method="post"> <label for="email-input">Email</label> <input type="email" id="email-input" name="email" required> <label for="password-input">Password</label> <input type="password" id="password-input" name="password" required> <input type="submit" id="submit-input" value="Login" name="submit"> </form>

Hi all.

This happened yesterday 220610 on an Android 9 Nokia 8 using duckduckgo search in the Firefox Android browser.

Short two and three word 'News headlines' showing in address bar on a blank page. The words would fade in to view and disappear every two or three seconds.

It stopped after a few minutes and has not done it since. Has this happened to anyone else or is it just a function I am unaware of? Cheers

Is it normal to see that?@ about:logo ....or see screen shot

i can't don't remember seeing them logo page before but maybe it's new.. just thought I'd bring it up. Same on my other devices too, beta or stable , didn't matter.

Application Basics


Name: Firefox Version: 105.0.2 Build ID: 20221003135607 Distribution ID: User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 11; Mobile; rv:105.0) Gecko/105.0 Firefox/105.0 OS: Linux 30 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 18 09:49:34 UTC 2020


I've seen other references in the about pages which seem to imply i'm using a nightly build in addition to the logo..

I am running Firefox and Duckduckgo on a Samsung Tab A (8.0), model SM-T387V.

Just within the last few weeks there have been blank (white) bars covering part of the search results. This also sometimes appears on a web page.

Screenshot attached.

If I use DuckDuckGo on Chrome it works fine.

What is the problem and how can I fix it? I can't find any support/help on the DuckDuckGo website.

Edit: When I use FireFox with a different search engine it does the same thing. If I use the Chrome browser with DuckDuckgo it works fine.

When tapping in search field of Total Wine website, keyboard appears then disappears before being able to enter anything. So, you're new release for Android is broke right out of the gate. Thanks for not quality checking your new release (cynicism). Haste makes waste. The new release is useless.

On some sites that provides video content player is not expanded to the full screen. So I click the 'Enter full screen' button, video is expanded, but not to the full screen - there is a gray stripe on the left (see the screenshot attached). This gray stripe is an area of the screen where all sorts of icons are normally displayed (notifications, watches, battery, etc). This gray stripe looks bad and annoying.

What can I do to make video full screen on all sites?

Example page where video is expanded to the full screen as expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHts3cLtvNY

Why won't web pages show in dark mode and are still white. So far the only browser I have seen that will also darken a web page is the standard Samsung browser. Love Firefox on my computer but on a tablet the darkening of web pages from the bright white is crucial. How can this be fixed?

Samsung Galaxy S9 plus.

I mistakenly uninstalled Firefox, then reboored and reinstalled it. How do I recover my saved passwords?

I tried going to the Data folder, but there is only 1 folder there, "export messages", for an app that lets me print out or save existing text messages .

Help!!

I recently bought a new phone. I have a total of three. The first two are semi-retired. They have aging operating systems and are no longer updatable. But I use them as wireless extension devices. About two hours ago, I installed and attempted to access Firefox search engine. I didn't remember the password. So I created a new one. That was successful. But then I had to enter a verification code. I did so and now there is a significant delay. This is in my new phone. Operating on Android 13. I'm accessing Firefox on one of my retired phones which are linked via WiFi to my new phone.

So, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?????

I have a total of three devices, all with Firefox. Only one device has a sim card that is registered and subscribed.

So, new phone and FF upgraded, now when I download there is no indication that my file is actually downloading, either on the phone status bar or in FF downloads. Is there somewhere I should be looking to see if a file is "currently" downloading?

Sometimes, Firefox 114.2.0 for Android suddenly stops rendering pages or loading new pages.

  • Try to search: instantly stops loading, completely white tab, address bar content changes to search
  • Try to enter an address directly: doesn’t load, completely white tab, address bar contents stay the same
  • Force quitting and reloading doesn’t change anything
  • Clearing cache doesn’t change anything
  • Clearing data fixes the problem, at the cost of losing all home-screen customization, extensions, and search engine customization, which aren’t synced with the Firefox account

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.
