Firefox Androidile Community Forum

I use nav bar at bottom and with old menu having reload, back, forward all at the bottom of menu, it meant that I could use Firefox single handedly.

Now with the new menu design which is very nice and shiny (well done), all common actions are on top of menu, close to mid- top of the screen. This makes it hard or awkward to use it worth one hand.

Is it possible, to have the layout of menu adjusted when nav bar is at the bottom?

This post is a follow-up to a tech’s response regarding David Cote's Google Play comment: Following a recent update to my Samsung Firefox browser, the option to position the Address/Navigation Buttons at the bottom has disappeared. This setting was previously found under Settings > Customize. Interestingly, my Pixel phone still retains this feature, as shown in the images below. In contrast, the tablet's browser now displays the Address/Navigation Buttons at the top, along with "Tab" links, resembling the Firefox browser on my laptop. Visual examples are included below for reference.

Hi,

I'm quite annoyed about the new Android Firefox menu update. It takes up so much more space on the screen for not really adding any extra usability and the New Tab button is entirely gone in spite of there being plenty of space to have included it. Where did it go? I'd really prefer to have it back.

Regards, eliana

I'm Firefox nightly starting several days ago when you hit the widget to view all open tabs. Previously the active tab had an indicator in this all tabs listing. Now the active tab. For example, the tab where you're watching a YouTube video has no visual indication that that's actually the active tab. this is on Android. When you swipe down to view a widget that displays the tab that's playing the video when you click on it, it now does not take you to the tab that was running. Essentially, the active tab viewing is fundamentally broken on Firefox nightly whereas it worked prior to about a week ago

Please fix this! I specifically set it in the settings (on Android) so that no websites open in apps. And yet it keeps asking me whether to open them! There’s no option to "don’t ask again".

Here’s an example: I have two accounts on AliExpress — one is logged into the app, the other in the web browser! And I absolutely don’t want it to open in the app, because what for???

Please fix it so that when I have it set in the settings not to open in the app, it really doesn’t open — and doesn’t keep asking like an idiot!?

I use collections and it's frustrating that we can't sort the links added as well as the collections themselves. It would be perfect if we were able to sort collections.

About background website lists..Displaying the number of pages box makes it difficult to browse and I suggest placing colorful, easily selectable lists after the number of pages box list.

please, add an option in the settings to enable/disable the menu redesign (the one for the three dots menu thingy) i just cant stand looking at this new design. i miss the old one a lot.

Prior to the 6/16/25 release, hitting the back button on the three button control on a page with no previous pages would open the home page without closing the current tab. After the update, it closes the tab before opening the home page. This was useful for quickly opening multiple tabs, as well as preventing accidentaly closing a tab. Please revert this change, or make it a setting.

The latest Firefox release (141) on Android introduced a couple of new features marked as "progressive rollout", e.g. the ability to protect private tabs via PIN, while the release also brought regular updates, e.g. security fixes.

Does someone know how a progressive rollout of such a feature works technically for the userbase? How can a release be rolled out, but some of its features be kept back while other changes apply to all?

For example, the ability to set a PIN for private tabs is a local user preference configuration. The user may or may not have a user sync profile. How is it possible to rollout the feature progressively on the same release channel? Or does the progressive rollout imply the first group of users receive the feature with consecutive minor releases, e.g. release 141.1, the next group with 141.2, etc?
