Firefox Androidile Community Forum

Only on facebook.com- when I comment on anything, every time I enter any key the screen rolls down to the bottom of the page. I dont like using the app bc it takes up a lot of my battery. I even got a new device(s24) and this is still happening. Anyone experience this and know how I can make this stop?

Issue Description: I'm encountering a privacy tab setting issue with the Firefox app on my Android phone. When I close the Firefox app, all private tabs are automatically cleared and not retained. However, when I previously used Firefox on an iPhone (iOS 11), private tabs remained open after relaunching the app.

Specific Questions:

1.Is there a setting in the Android version of Firefox to retain private tabs after closing the app?

2.Is this behavior due to Android's restrictions or Firefox's default configuration?

3.If no direct setting exists, are there workarounds (e.g., extensions or specific versions) to achieve this?

My mobile phone is: Nothing Phone (3a) Pro Android 15

Any advice from users with similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Firefox search was not working for some thinfs like Yahoo or google so I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix it. Before that I tried clearing the cache and restarting my phone. When I reinstalled most of my bookmarks on the initial page have dissappeared. Is there a way to recover them or can someone on your end send me a list or something so I can bookmark them again manually? Please help ASAP?!

Hi! I was buying a book on a well known webshop. I used my Android Galaxy A25 and Firefox browser. When I was almost ready after IDentification on the payment webservice, also well known, I got a message that I was expected to choose a certificate. There were two to choose from: gak_ec_alias and gak_rsa_alias. How can I know that this is a serious safe action for me to do? I know certificates are used for encryption of communication or transactions, but this is the first time I've been asked to choose one! How shall I treat this? Is the web shop missing a certificate, or Is firefox missing a certificate? Is the certificate going to be used everywhere I surf, or just on the webshop where I bought the book, or on the payment webservice?

Greatful for answers! Janne

Hasten up account synchronisation in firefox mobile browser signing page. It's frustrating so much while trying to sign back in with account passwords always displaying wrong passwords

I can't access reddit.com on Firefox for Android. I have no problems accessing it on Firefox for PC or Mac. It was loading fine this mornig, but for the past couple hours, I've been getting "address not found." I have cleared my cache and all browsing data. I tried force stopping and restarting the app. I've tried restarting my phone. Nothing fixes the issue. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Scrolling on my Facebook news feed will work fine for a short period, but as I move down my feed, the page will jump up or down, often in the opposite direction I'm scrolling the page. This even happens when I'm not actively touching the screen, but most often while scrolling. This makes it very difficult to read posts or interact with the page. Is this an issue with Meta or is there a setting I can change that will make scrolling smoother? This is a long running problem with Facebook and Firefox and I don't see the same behavior with other browsers like Vivaldi.

How do you stop auto refresh while on Facebook website? I'm using Firefox for Android and I access my SocMed accounts via websites no resource giving app. With that said I guess FB has page refresh enforced into the it's HTML and it's very annoying. I've set my PC browser to block auto refresh but can't find a solution for Android.

I watch Youtube on the Firefox browser for android on desktop mode on my Samsung Galaxy tab A9+, usually in private. Lately Youtube puts me in a playlist when i click on music. This only happens when I watch music videos it's not an issue on any other type of video so far. It doesn't do it when I am logged into YouTube, private browsing or not.

70% of the time I try downloading something it goes one of three ways, either it completes the download and somehow the file isn't downloaded or shows in my recents. The second way is that it stops mid download and deletes the file. Or the third way which downloads part of the file (or most of it) and just stops the download, keeping the part file and I have to re-download it from the beginning. I waste my data constantly because of these issues, especially being as I don't have wifi where I am located, its important I don't waste my data, time, effort, money, and battery life for nothing in return.
