Firefox Androidile Community Forum

Would it be possible in your next release/update to allow us to put our collections into alphabetical order for ease of finding if you have a lot. Thanks in advance. Chris

Previously, in the shortcut screen, you could swipe left right to display the other eight shortcuts. This no longer works. I have to tap showall to display all the shortcuts. Additionally the showall setting should be remembered, you shouldn't have to do two taps to get to the second list.

Hello!

It would be nice to go back to the old style of the management of the Shortcuts in the browsers homepage. The new style was a regression. Let the browser user decide what style he likes.

And, - allow moving (sorting) the Shortcut links within the homepage (per drag and drop), - allow more than two Shortcut separate pages within the homepage or more than 16 Shortcuts, - remove the pin symbol from the Shortcut image, it looks terrible and it is superfluous. (I use ONLY my own shortcuts, nothing else, so the pin symbol is not needed.)

Thank you Mario

I have not changed my settings -- still want 1 row of shortcuts. They were just fine this morning but now the whole row is gone -- it's blank. I don't know how to get them back and can't seem to create new ones. Looked all through the Firefox settings but no good. What happened? Please advise.

I am able to save tabs to collections. However, there is no collections section on my homescreen, despite support articles and questions indicating it should just be there. When I turn shortcuts and stories on, they still do not appear. How do I make collections show up?

I've previously asked this question but it has been archived without any action.

I have the current Android Firefox installed, my homepage setting has 'recently visited' UNCHECKED, but the homepage is adding all my recently, or possibly 'frequently visited' visited, pages! Swipe sideways to show even more of them. The only thing that should be on my homepage are shortcuts - things that I wanted to pin - since the specifically unticked 'recently visited'.

This is a privacy issue as well as just a bug. Please fix this urgently.

I've also put this on my review on Play store as I consider it something that needs attention...

The browser is very nice and fast, but Firefox only shows 8 of your favorite sites on the home screen. Please increase this visibility to 30. The home screen has a huge screen, but there are unnecessary shortcuts like tabs are pasted, and people don't use them anyway. There is also the option to add tabs under the settings shortcuts, but instead of adding tabs when returning to the home screen, a home shortcut can be added, and it would be more useful.

Previously, I had my firefox homepage configured to not show shortcuts or recently visited websites, as I feel it is clutter. However, recently, shortcuts have re-appeared, with no option to disable/hide them in the homepage settings (Settings > Homepage only shows Stories, Wallpaper, and app Opening Screen; see attached image). Wondering if this is a feature that was removed (if so, would love to see this reverted), if it is a bug that needs fixing, or I'm missing something.

Recently, my homepage has started showing shortcuts again, a feature I previously had turned off cause I dislike it and it often just shows random sites and searches I've done. I went to turn it off again, only for the toggle switch or shortcuts section of the customization settings to not be there at all??? Is this a glitch? Because I don't like this feature and I really hope they've changed it to something you can't turn off

I'm unhappy with the new version of the app, 143.0, which my app was just updated to. Specifically, the appearance of the tab homepage. The empty space previously occupied by the search bar at the top of the screen, and the lack of features such as recently opened tabs, or the "Jump Back In" box, both of which have been removed in favour of irrelevant stories. The ability to turn back on features like that would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, updating seems to have completely cleared out my app's history, now only showing me my synced history from other devices.

Dear Firefox Support,

I am a long-time Firefox user and greatly appreciate the privacy-focused and user-friendly experience your browser offers. However, I would like to request an enhancement to the Android version of Firefox.

Currently, the Firefox Start Page on Android only displays two rows of shortcut icons under "Top Sites" (Pinned Shortcuts). This limitation restricts quick access to frequently used websites, especially for users who rely on visual organization.

I would kindly request the option to customize the number of visible shortcut rows — for example, allowing up to 5 or more rows — directly from the app’s settings. This would greatly improve usability and personalization without affecting the minimalist design of the Start Page.

Thank you for your work and consideration. I hope this suggestion can be taken into account for a future update.

Best regards, Florin

I was able to sign in to my account for Firefox and I got my bookmarks back; the odd thing is Mozilla tries to put a bunch of them on the home page, and I can't get rid of them. Also in the edition of Firefox I downloaded, the default search engine that they set up is Google. Unbelievable. So I changed that to Firefox as the default search engine. There some "sponsored" bookmarks on the home page I can't get rid of. And I cannot figure out hosw to get my Collections back on the main page. I loved that Collections feature on the home page.

While customizing my homepage, I chose to have "stories" section to always show up. Is there a way to personalize those stories to my interests? I have no interest in the ones showing up, especially being mostly politics and world news.
