Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi,

My bookmarks in Firefox Android are not sorted as they are with my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows. The problem started about 4 to 8 weeks ago.

What needs to happen to have Firefox Android sort my bookmarks the same way as my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows, please?

Thanks, Stephen

bold text I recently reinstalled Firefox on my Android tablet to fix an unrelated problem. I can now find no way to set a web page as my home page. Can I still do so? Why is it so hard to find if I can?

I find it extremely annoying that on the Desktop all URLs I open are on the same tab unless I request otherwise but on Android all URLs I open from Home open in a new tab which can result in a huge number of tabs being open. When are the developers going to provide an option to open new URLs on the same Tab unless I request otherwise. On a device like a phone with limited memory this makes no sense, my wife often ends up with so many tabs open her phone crashes. I know there is a setting to close on exit but on Android that only works if you select exit which my wife often forgets so she ends up with 30 open tabs!

A facility to circumvent this is long overdue.

Are there any plans to provide native screen mirroring or casting in FF for Android? Alternately, to re-enable about:config, which once contained this option (as well as many other very handy settings). There appears to be no relevant extension available so I am forced to use the glitchy, unreliable and utterly untrustworthy Google Home.

I just searched for a pdf editor on my android phone and it came up with pdf editor instructions....but none of the options appear on my Firefox on android... Why not please?

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks

Firefox for Android is my favorite, but its download manager is not that special, sometimes a file gets downloaded, but mostly the big files fail and do not get downloaded at all, I request you to make the firefox download manager even better like the download manager of Brave and Chrome browser.

Hello support team,

I am regularly using private tab, but after using private tab, not showing, "close private tabs" in the notification bar.

And at the time of uploading video to youtube studio, suddenly slow down uploading speed.

Please help me in this issue.

Thanks & regards, Kunal

Any idea how to change the hideous Firefox icon that some smart people made to not match all all with the Android icon ecosystem and design? Did they fire all designers at Mozilla? When we will see some logic and proper design

I have thousands of bookmarks. What the hell is wrong with allowing sorting by

(1) date create, (2) date changed (3) AND by name?

I always sort by name. File folders, bookmarks.

By creation date on pixtures.

This is a no brainer. Your bookmarks are not usable. Especially if i dont recall the name. The synced folder names get me to the right subject, scanning the folder contents reviels the targetted link.

Common children, do it right or dont do it.

I have firefox on a Windows 10 laptop plus two android phones and two android tablets. The Bookmarks on the laptop, both tablets and one phone are shown in alphabetic order. The Bookmarks on one phone are in random order. How can I make these Bookmarks list in alphabetic order? I have read that I cannot simply reorder the bookmarks, so I probably need to delete the bookmarks, ON THIS PHONE ONLY and definitely not on my other devices. Then would "Sync” import the Bookmarks from "the cloud"? Or would "Sync" export the now-empty "Bookmarks" folder from this phone to the cloud?

I need to adjust settings in about:config but it just loads a blank page. I have tried clearing storage and cache and even reinstalling but it won't work. How can I get access to this?

Hi. I have some feature requests for Firefox for Android.

- pos of the address bar when typing: The feature to change the position of address bar is useful. But other search bars and the suggestions are still on the top. While putting the address bar makes it easy to access, it confuses my eye movements. I think there should be an option to change the address bar when typing. - shortcuts: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy phone and they have a feature to set some shortcuts like forward and search in app to an action. On this point, Firefox is inferior than Chrome for me. Chrome supports these shortcuts.

I need a default search string in order to add Firefox as a search option. Directions on the app advise how to add a search option, but a default search string is required and I haven't been able to figure out what use. https://firefox.com/search is the best I can guess. Any help for an old man is appreciated.
