Firefox for Android Support Forum

I used to use HTTPS Everywhere, but now this add-on no longer exists in the list of Firefox mobile add-ons. The problem is that in this situation I have no way to uninstall it, because it is not in the Add-ons Manager. So how to uninstall it?

When I have "Open links in apps" turned on, for some reason all links to xda-developers.com URLs are directed to the Nextcloud app — which obviously doesn't know what to do with them.

I enjoy the "open in app" feature but this is frustrating. I checked in the app information settings that the Nextcloud app doesn't open any URLs by default, and certainly not specific to xda-dev...?

I want to install Video DownloadHelper or Ant video Downloader addons but both of them can't be installed. Is there a reason why some addons can't be installed on Firefox Nightly for Android? If the issue is the addon, how should the developer fix to make it support? Any technical details are welcome

Hi,

I actually really enjoy Pocket on my main windows machine in Firefox, read lots of the suggested articles all the time. However, when searching about it for Android all my queries seem to bring up the fact that it should be baked in from the get go.

My issue is that when I go to the "Customise Hompage" section there IS NO option for pocket. No mention, no checkbox etc. I have all the other options. I thought perhaps it was something else that I needed to download it from the app store separately however that didn't do anything either. I'm on 113.20 according the "About Firefox" section of the browser. Android version 13. I just did a reinstall of the app and nothing new appeared either.

Can anyone suggest any options.

I am trying to set the home page on my Samsung S21 with android v13 and firefox v117. I cannot find any means for setting the home page. The customize homepage in the top (3 button) menu has no option for setting a different home page.

The homepage option under settings gives you exactly the same options as above.

The customize option under settings applies only to the theme and has no options for managing the home page.

Unfortunately every version of firefox is different and all the instructions I have found apply to different versions of firefox than the one I am using.

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing the Adguard add-on.

I have installed Firefox on my Android phone. I want to add the Adguard add-on to my Firefox browser so I can block YouTube adds.

I have no idea what I'm doing. It's really confusing and frustrating.

Can you please help?

Best wishes, Andrea

I am using Firefox version 105.1.0 . I just want to make sure that all web sites not suitable for kids up to 12 years old are blocked. I did some searching. People say that there is no parental control build in for Firefox on Android. I have to use add-ons. I started Firefox and select Add-on. I can see a list of "Recommended". I saw no Parental control and there is no search option. Can you tell me how to do this ?

There used to be an optio open in app option under 3 dot menu right hand corner but after updating to latest version it has gone.

I need that option badly. Please help getting that back I don't want to clear data or uninstall as it will completely ruin many settings logins layout ETC it will be chaos for me

Also please share Firefox customer support mail Id so I xan directly take it upto them.

In about.config i set javascript.enabled false for most browsing, unless i really need to do otherwise (e.g. ecommerce). If i close the app (menu quit), and restart it, javacript.enabled is reset true. This behaviour is not replicated for other settings i may make, e.g. dom.storage.enabled, or permissions.default.image. Being Android i have no root so no possibility of creating a user.js to override Firefox ignoring my settings. This seems to be a bug. Version is Android Nightly version 121.0a1, 2023-11-05.

Hello,

I am trying to install an add-on on my (android) firefox beta by following this blog https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/12/15/new-extensions-available-now-on-firefox-for-android-nightly/ I have submitted my add-on,it has been approved and i downloaded the xpi file. I have created a collection (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-collections-addonsmozillaorg) How do i add the xpi file on my collection?

Thanks

Is there a way to force "dark mode" for websites on mobile WITHOUT using an extension like Dark Reader?

I am comparing this to coming from Brave, where I am using their "experimental" Night Mode settings (which works great). For the desktop browser, I've gone to Manage Colors and swapped text/background white/black to make most websites appear as if they have a dark mode, but that option doesn't seem to exist on mobile.

I've attached 4 images that show the differences across the two browsers on mobile. Even Google's own Dark Theme doesn't seem accessible through whatever method FireFox uses, so I can't even use that dark theme without an extension at the moment.

If this is not currently possible, I'm hoping it's planned for future implementation. I can't suggest it either since the feature suggestion page appears to be down at the moment (being reworked?).

I just downloaded firefox nightly for the sole purpose of being able to use the about:config editor. My question is, how can I disable the blue dots in both the screenshots attached? I find it annoying to be bothered when any application notify me that an update has been installed. Where in about:config should I search to disable this behavior?

I recently downloaded Firefox for Android on my Android 13 device but as I tried opening the menu for the add-on, nothing was found. No supported add-ons were there in the list. I tried doing so from Mozilla add-on the Web page but that didn't help either. What can I do now?

Lastest update added the "pull to refresh" gesture but i dont like that. Please add a option to disable it. Also, I close a tab and exit the program, when I reopen firefox, the tab comes back. Finally, it is not good for the Firefox account mail address to appear in the Firefox menu, it would be better to write "Firefox Account" instead of mail. (Sorry for my poor english, I used some translation.)

How can the android FF app not have a way of showing progress of downloads? I find this absolutely bizarre, when every other browser does this. It's critical information to have. You have no idea how much has downloaded or how long is left, the downloads window is just blank until it's fully completed downloading an item.

I am using the Homepage on Firefox Android to store some very important bookmarks/shortcuts. I only have three.

But whenever I start surfing, the shortcuts get cluttered with all pages I recently visited. I do not want this, also for privacy issues.

In the Homepage screen, I only have shortcuts enabled, e.g. recently visited is 'off'. These would be displayed in a separate section anyhow.

Apparently there used to be a setting under Customize - Home "Show most visited sites", as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-home-screen?redirectslug=use-awesome-screen-search-web-bookmarks-and-more#mobile::m108

But Firefox 1.05 does not have that setting and an about:config also seems not available.

Is there anyway to turn this off?
