Firefox for Android Support Forum

Firefox 63.0.2 Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Tablet Android version 8.0.0 (Oreo)

Hi. I have to abide by court order to retain all my browsing history or face a penalty. I have gone into the Firefox privacy settings & unchecked the box that would have deleted my browsing history when I quit the browser. However this past month I have noticed that Firefox is automatically deleting every subsequent page I visit once I go beyond 100.

Is this a bug or part of the Quantum update to make the browser run more efficiently by caching less memory? It's important that my browsing history is not deleted.

This is on a new Nexus 5 phone. I tried using the supplied Chrome browser and was disappointed to find that clearing the cache (through Chrome or Android settings/apps), did not work. Old visited websites and tabs were still present upon re-starting. I just installed Firefox and it has the same problem. I have no bookmarks stored. Is there a solution to this?

Is there really no way of clearing top sites or removing them altogether from Firefox Android? What is the point of clearing history etc. when the sites remain listed in top sites? What sort of security is that?

On the desktop version of Firefox you have the BASIC privacy tool everyone wonder about

I have browsed various pages of a website and I want to remove all those entries from my browsing history.

Though I DON'T WANT to wipe all my browsing history entries

Why this basic NEEDED feature from such a browser that claims so much about its care about user privacy has been forgotten in the Android version? Or maybe in all the mobile versions

We have company phones, we have relatives, we have friends. So NOT necessarily my phone will be accessed by me myself and I only

This missing feature is a big hole in hole in the privacy flag that Mozilla is flaunting around the world

Hello.. I have this problem on my phone for a long time..Always when i open my mozilla firefox it says that my connection is not secure and someone is trying to imitate page.I try everything..i uninstall and install app, i try to fix problem on my laptop but nothing works. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance Andrea

On certain sites that should be secure, it says 'insecure connection' This has been happening for a month or more.

I tried force stopping my anti malware software to see if it was causing this and it wasn't. I also tried disabling a add on I recently installed and it wasn't causing the problem either. This concerns me because this may compromise my security.

When I start a fresh browsing session using Firefox for Windows, and I go to Amazon's site, I am NOT logged in.

But when I start a fresh browsing session using Firefox Mobile for Android, I find I am already logged in. I have set Firefox to clear data on exit (Settings/Privacy/Clear Private Data/Clear on Exit).

This is a security issue. If I lost my phone, someone could easily order products under my name. Is this is a bug or am I missing some setting?

suspicious website opens automatically in a new tab without permission/prompting. makes my mobile vibrate nonstop & don't have a way to close it except to close firefox. how do i resolve this issue? need reply asap :C

I have a CoolPad which is Android and did not get a Master Password option. I went to their forum and asked them about this and they said there was no MPW option as there is a problem in the android logic and they cannot fix it.

So here in this forum it is stated there IS a MPW option but I still don't see it on my FF on my smart phone. Also, can you sync that same phone with a MPW (if indeed there is a MPW option). Did I somehow download an old FF version or something? It was only a couple months ago I downloaded it.

What am I not doing/seeing?

I accidentally tapped deny when I was trying to share my location with a website, and I can't find a way to change this setting. The instructions at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/geolocation/ seemed like they would help, but there is no 'Page Info' options under the Tools menu.

Using latest Firefox Beta for Android.

Hello,

After upgrading to FF for Android v31.0, I found that I can't change a saved site login username and password. I can enter the new details and login to the site, but these details are not being updated in FF. So the next time I visit that site, I'm shown the old details again.

How do I fix this?

Thanks. :)

Hi,

We like to deploy firefox with some business settings.

Example: - Homepage will be the business homepage - Cleanup private settings by closing firefox. - Root password

Is it possible to change a settings file to preset those settings?

Thanks in advance.
