Firefox Androidile Community Forum

It says tap the padlock on menu bar to access site permissions. However there is no padlock, only a shield with checkmark saying that enhanced tracking is on. I want to verify something on Prolific but it keeps saying access denied. My device and site settings are set to allow and ask to allow respectively. I'm on a Redmi 9c. Please help

i am currently combining through my password manager as i stated to notice entries for "idownloadfast" "hideme" and "lockwiperandroid" and found an entry that seems to be for a Firefox extension? "moz-extension://336ba9e4-ebe5-4f93-a935-0e41204e5a33" when i open it i get code that looks suspicious, and i don't see anything that says what the extension is. but it has my email and a password saved in the entry. i can copy pase the code, if it isn't against policy. i already know whatever is going on with my devices security its not limited to a single account or service. but any information would be appreciated. i change my passwords, check connections, and keep two step authentication on for everything.

Configure Your Browser

Open Firefox. Go to Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings. Choose "Manual proxy configuration." Enter the SOCKS5 host IP and port. (Example: Socks host: 161.0.8.34 Port 108

I am not that technically inclined, but I want foxfire as search engine on my pixel 9 and to use it on my Chromebook. My phone is connected to my Chromebook but I don't know what's I'm doing wrong. I can't get phone & Chromebook together on foxfire & mozilla

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.

Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?

Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

My mothers new phone won't load external links and mine does?

I have way more strict security settings and same extensions. She has 2 and I have 13 extensions but they overlap and are not the issue. When someone sends her a link her Firefox does not convert the link like mine does, she gets a link in format https://share.google/ + string of letters, when she opens it, it's a blank page. When I open the same link it converts it from that to a regular link (https://). I have installed Firefox to at least 3 other people and none have this issue. I don't have this issue on desktop either.

If it makes a difference: Out all the people that have this browser on their phone she's the only one that has a new phone with Android 16 (mine is Android 14). They are both up to date on both software and Firefox updates.

Ever since I updated my Firefox for Android app to the latest version there have been these odd grey bars at the top and bottom of the app. It's as if the browser is assuming my phone is shorter than it actually is and is leaving these huge margins (I've attached an image to show what I mean). Firefox is the only app that has had this issue and it persists on every single page. It's even worse if I rotate to landscape as it makes about a third of the screen this grey void. In case it helps solve this issue my phone is a 2024 moto g power 5G.

For android tool bar there is a customized shortcut menu to use as e. G. new tab, translate etc... Can add extensions to this menu? It's annoying to keeping going to menu to activate extensions

hi. I search for a bookmark by FF search function and want to edit its name. How? No, i do not want to tap and manually search through all bookmarks and then edit it. Yes, the findings should be easy editable. It is a suggestion for the developers. thx

The Firefox for Android application data grew excessively, exceeding 1GB. Clearing the cache did not help, nor did deleting site data from within the app (while keeping cookies). I was forced to use the "Clear data" option from the Android system settings. This completely wiped all settings and extensions. Despite having Sync enabled, logging back in did not restore all extensions, settings, open tabs, shortcuts, or organized saved sites.

Google has falsely flagged my own website. I need to disable Safe Browsing just to access it, so I set browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to false, but Firefox Android keeps reverting it to true on every restart. I really dislike this overbearing behavior. Does anyone know how to disable it permanently?

I can't get into Google Play to access the app, unless I want to do facial recognition or other stuff. I can't see Fennec on the Mozilla website. I just want to start using it as soon as possible. Currently on Brave and now I understand Chrome controls that.

Thank you.

June
