How do I save my settings when I change them? I really do not like the dark theme but when I try to change it to the light theme it does not seem to recognize my choice when I open Firefox the next time. I also don't like that fact that Firefox does not open on my homepage like it used to. How can I revert to the Firefox I had before it was apparently updated?

The long-press back button no longer summons the tab's history on my Android phone or my Galaxy tab. Mozilla appears to have disabled this feature quite recently. I'm referring to the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner that you hit quickly to go back once. It was quite useful to do a long press on the arrow and have the history of the tab pop up in a list. You could then pick any page on the list and go directly back, skipping over all the other pages.

Please reinstate this useful feature?

When filling out an online form I sometimes need to switch to another app to get info. E.g. to find my bank account number.

However when I return back to Firefox the form often clears it even disappears and Firefox takes me to back to the previous page meaning I have to start again.

This is annoying if I only need one piece of info as I can cut and paste it but if I need two it makes it impossible to complete the form

Is there a setting I need to change?

We just got a mew desktop and I want to sync by android phone Firefox to the desktop so I can retain my bookmarks, passwords, and tabs. I have synced between my phone and my old desktop with no problem. But now when I try to sync my phone to the desktop, all my sync options are greyed out and it won't let me select anything?

Good team, user,

not sure if it's actually a firefox issue. Using it on a huawei table with harmonyOS gives a portray view in landscape modus and no fullscreen avaliable.

Imagination attached.

Appreciation for hints, and may it at least have helped as a "feed-forward".

Firefox for Android, Samsung Galaxy phone

When playing YouTube videos the time remaining counter that's supposed to appear in the lower left corner when you tap on the screen isn't showing. Tapping on the screen only shows the progress bar.

The counter functions in chrome, DuckDuckGo and opera.

Hello all. I am experiencing 2 problems with sync. First is the older issue. I have new phone, an S24, with a similar problem that the old phone had. It is showing up under devices, unlike the old phone, an A71, but, it isn't syncing with my other 2 devices, just like the old phone. The newer issue is, while I was trying to fix the sync issue, I lost all of my tabs {for my S24}. My history & bookmarks are there, but not the tabs.

My other 2 devices are synced with each other, for quite a while now. They are: a Galaxy Tab 7 & an HP windows 11. They stay at home. My phone goes with me. I have tried a whole list of steps; this list is not in order:

  • restarted all 3 devices.
  • closed all tabs on S24.
  • updates are on auto; Firefox just updated on all 3.
  • checked all settings for S24. The other 2 devices are fine here.
  • closed/reopened app on S24.
  • signed out/back in on app on S24.
  • uninstalled/reinstalled on S24, after I deleted the cache, not data.
  • then I had trouble signing back in, finally, it worked.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The S24 does not show up at all on The Tab 7, but it does, without the name, on the laptop. It also shows up under Firefox's list. All 3 are using the same wifi/network, the same internet security, the same password manager, & the same vpn, which has the same dedicated vpn. I admit to having a separate issue with the dedicated, which is affecting the laptop & S24. Idk if this has anything to do with anything.

Thank you for any help, I don't know what to do.

Since version 134 of Firefox Android has been out, it crashes EVERY TIME when I try ot use the "back" gesture on my Xiaomi 14(i.e. swiping from right or left side of the screen) I tried Firefox 134, Iceraven 2.27 (also based on the same Gecko) - they act the same. In the same time I also have Waterfox, based in the previous version of Firefox 133, and it responds properly. I guess it is related to the latest version only. Here's the crash log:

Hello everyone,

Previously, it was possible to configure Firefox so it would stay in the background while opening tabs from links activated in other apps. Thus, said apps would stay in the foreground until Firefox is called to the front.

The desired result was achieved by editing the setting `browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground` in "about:config", which is no longer available.

If such a configuration is yet possible, how is it achieved?

Thank you.

As above, tablet freezes since latest update, by either Firefox or yahoo. Then I have to open up Chrome, go to same yahoo site to view the stuff I used to watch on Firefox. I'm a stock market trader, a glitch, freeze like this can cost me thousands, so Firefox is now unreliable for trading, where Chrome works. If this will load for you, is what I use, and then klik on one of the stock symbols should take you to a chart. Thanks for an otherwise really great platform, hate Chrome . Seasons Best
