I want to NOT open links in external apps, so I set the option "Open links in apps" to "Never", however Firefox keeps asking of I want to open the link in another app, so there is no difference with "ask before opening" option". Is there any way to not open links in apps without Firefox asking for confirmation?

I have always been the type of person to max out my tabs on web browsers and try to remember what we browser I used to refer to on different situations. Once I looked into Firefox, I was extremely impressed and excited to use the collection options to become better organized with different websites! I originally made a list of collections on my tablet and was under the impression that when I went to share the collection with from my tablet to my phone (both newer Samsung models) that it would share the whole collection as is to my phone and that I could create new collections on my phone and share back with my tablet. I don't always have both on hand but would like to use them interchangeably. I know I can sync the tabs which are open which is a nice feature and I have since added my collections from my tablet to my phone.

I think it would be an amazing option to be able to customize the collections - organize alphabetically, color control for collections that are similar, "parent collections" or a sub collection option from your main collection to just allow better organization. I do like the collection feature but I am not able to organize it and now I'm in a similar (though much better) scenario as I was when I had a bunch of tabs open from different search engines. Any possible update or options would be much appreciated! Also, I am very new with using Firefox in recent times so there may be something I am missing but from what I found I don't see any options as to what I'm referring to. Any help is also much appreciated!!

I was told to ask for support here rather than at bugzilla.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 10; Mobile; rv:109.0) Gecko/116.0 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Fennec from F-droid 2. Open browser 3. Observe splash screen 4. The original logo is back

Actual results: 116.2.0 changed the startup splash screen back to the regular logo. I actually rather liked the minimalist splash screen logo we had for a few weeks prior.

Expected results: Is there a flag in the config that I can change to get back the minimalist logo?

Im using Firefox android on my new pixel 7. I found that the 'add to home screen' option is not available on the ... List. I searched for solution. Someone say click on Install option. But there's no install option either.

The add to home screen is available on my old moto phone

Does anyone have this same issue and have a solution how to fix this? I very much appreciate all your help!

I just got a new phone (Pixel 7a) and embedded videos have closed captions enabled by default in Firefox. Even if I turn them off while watching one video, they'll be back on the next video. I want them to just be off by default. It's not an Android setting as far as I can tell - I have all live captioning turned off and the video player isn't showing captions when I use Chrome to watch the same videos. Here's a link to a video that has captions on by default when I view it in FF for Android. I've also included a screenshot of the CC controls.

We need support added into the firefox mobile addon ecosystem for adding new permissions from and for our addons. Currently my issue is that MAL-Sync cannot add new permissions for the new websites and ones with changed domains which in my case happens to be the latter. I already tried uninstalling the addon and reinstalling it but to no avail. The add permissions button in the addon also does not work because the support for it in Firefox mobile does not exist like it does on the desktop counterpart. I am on Firefox beta currently. On the desktop when clicking the add button a little bubble would pop up asking to add permissions for mal-sync for whatever sites had support added. Please add in this functionality.

When the "Google Search Fixer" addon is installed and the "Pull to refresh" gesture is enabled, I am not able to freely scroll up on the search results page. After scrolling animation finishes, if I try to scroll up, the browser thinks that I want to refresh the page, therefore the input is sank.
