Firefox (Android) 134.0 (Build #2016064983), hg-b8005f63d9eb+ GV: 134.0-20241230151726 AS: 134.0

This is 3 time I have lost almost half of my apps while using Firefox. I just lost Firefox and alot of apps and don't understand how this can keep happening? I don't know which one's I lost or how to get them back? Very important to get those back. I pay my bills with some of them. Please help. I had to ad Firefox back to even do this

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.

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?

For the last few days when I am on the web using Firefox, my android screen is displaying large print - like it is zoomed in. There is no way to fix this. Assuming this is a result of your last fix/update. This needs to be addressed. This is not an issue with any other browser

I bought a new android (Samsung) tablet. I want to sync all the tabs I have on my Windows PC to the tablet. I am not tech savvy.. further, why can't the Firefox page that shows all my saved tabs and bookmarks look the same on my tablet? sheesh...

I will have to stop using Mozilla after many years - sad. But I am getting links blocked by stupid error messages about security when the sources are well known and protected. Today it was the Journal of the American Medical Association. I have no time to deal with this nonsense.

When I try to open firefox on my android phone, it just closes and gives me an error message which I have attached a screen shot of.

I do not know if this is related but this happened after I scanned a qr code and tried to open it.

I have un-installed and reinstalled the app and turned my phone off then on again after reinstalling but this did not help.

Pls can you help?

Please tweak your browser. give as much performance as any other browser available in the market. It loads some web pages slower than a snail. According to the test I have conducted on browserbench.org, firefox has performed below avarage. Please I request you to tweak your browser, I am a loyal firefox user since 2010 but the recent updates has been so garbage that I had to switch in edge browser as my daily internet needs.

What does this mean and how do I fix it? Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Thank you, John Dunigan

Entering any text on Reddit or most forums using Firefox Nightly for Android forces indenting and carriage returns to be deleted. Even as I'm typing the text will jump randomly to condense into a single paragraph and add multiple spaces to indent the paragraph.

Samsung S24U, I saw the same behavior on my S22U as well, so it isn't a cache/cookies thing. I do not experience the issue with regular Firefox for Android.

How can I POST A QUESTION?

Probably i wont be able to post this so i might as well go stand in the STOOPID LINE.

I am not the most technical savvy person. I have Malwarebytes on both my laptop and cell phone.

My phone had Verizon Message+ until they stopped supporting it a few weeks ago. They suggested I use Google messenger which I downloaded. I am finding many things that it does not do which I use all the time. It does not have a way to broadcast a message to multiple people. It does not have the ability to copy a message you sent to one person so you can send it to another. I use those quite often to keep in touch with family in other states.

Does Mozilla have a text message app for an android phone?

Thank you so much

This has been going on for at least several weeks. SF Chron support escalated the issue to their tech dept (not on site), which claimed that the problem is FF, not them.

Im attempting to verify ID.me. I followed instructions from ID.me, which sent a text to my phone, I took pictures of my Drivers License, but im having a problem with sending the pictures to this laptop.' Can anyone explain or walk me thru this process?
