Hello, I'm having trouble with my Firefox Nightly Android today. The scrolling is very choppy while trying to browse any article or webpage. It's most noticeable if I quickly scroll down and up. There is a large delay before my page scrolls back up. Is there any setting I have to change to fix this?

Thanks

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

Recently when typing on Firefox on the duckduckgo search engine, anything you type gets doubled, and you cannot backspace. The issue doesn't occur when on Google page, only on ddg. I also tried different keyboard apps and the issue still persists. I went to the same page on Google chrome and the issue does not occur. This just started happening within the last week or so. If it matters/helps, I'm on Samsung s24 ultra.

Firefox is being flagged on my Android tablet as having too high background battery usage and it wants to put FF in deep sleep. This has just started happening. Also in the last several months, FF keeps freezing on my Android Tablet and I constantly (daily) have to clear the cache in the app. What has changed? If this continues I will have to uninstall this product.

Hi whenever I use my Google account to sign into websites (Google, ebay, YouTube, & anyother sites,) Firefox will become unresponsive, the window containing the tab i was using becomes unresponsive, sort of. - I can't click any open Firefox Tabs, - the red 'Close' radio button is greyed-out, so I can't close any tabs or the window - right-click is unresponsive, so i can't close tabs that way, but Command-W closes the tabs normally, but the others are still unresponsive.

- i can open a new Firefox window (with &/or without Tabs,) which works normally.

- & unrelated, but earlier, Firefox was running really slowly, Youtube videos were slowed down, but audio was normal, and scrolling was slow.

When I open a website and then switch to another application and then switch back to firefox, the website will be reloaded.Reloading will waste time and prevent the operation of checking the verification code in the email and then returning to fill in the form during registration, because the website will be reloaded. How can I avoid this problem in the Android version of Firefox?

Tab content stays blank for several seconds after returning Firefox from background

I have an issue with the app. When I return Firefox from the background, the app becomes partially unresponsive: the ui still responds to touches, but the current tab content remains blank for 3–10 seconds. After that delay, the tab content appears and Firefox continues working normally. The issue happens after using other apps for some time before returning to Firefox. It does not happen if I simply switch Firefox to the background and immediately bring it back to the foreground. It looks like a Firefox child/content process may be getting killed or evicted from memory while the app is in the background, but I have modern device with enough free memory (xiaomi 17 ultra, 16 gb ram). I've already tried popular suggestions: - Disable any restrictions in battery optimizations - Lock the app in memory - Allow app autostart - Disable memory extension (swap) in the system settings - Checked background process limit - "standard"

The same issue happens on tablet xiaomi pad 6 pro (12 gb of ram, hyperos 3 as x17u). The issue appeared ~4-5 month ago after ordinary Firefox update. What useful logs can I collect to help resolve it?

I've recorded a video of the issue with current versions of Firefox and Firefox Nightly https://youtube.com/shorts/JHxeODD3IQk . On video I reload `example.com` in both browsers, switch to other apps and return back to each browser. Firefox is locked in memory (see icon in task manager), Nightly is not. While tab is stuck in Firefox, I show that UI is working (menu is opened immediately).

When the screen rotates, many videos freeze and thereafter all videos become unresponsive (and even some elements of the Firefox UI stop responding to taps) until the application is closed and restarted. I have experienced this problem for at least a year now. Reddit is a repeatable example: going to any feed (such as r/popular with videos), playing one, and rotating the screen.

I turned off all battery and CPU optimizations for Firefox, which improves performance on videos somewhat, but does not resolve this issue.

My mouse (wheel) only works on the portion of the page that is currently visible; it will not scroll down the rest of the page. This problem began after 151.0.1 update just a few days ago. It works correctly in other applications such as word or excel. It also works correctly with other browsers, so it is definitely something in Firefox. Any ideas?

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

Hi, I’ve been experiencing slow startup times in Firefox, especially when I have my Time calculator web app open. The browser takes longer to load and sometimes becomes unresponsive.

I’ve tried disabling extensions and changing my home page, but the issue persists. Are there any specific settings or troubleshooting steps in Firefox that can help improve performance when using online calculators like this?

Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
