Firefox Androidile Community Forum

Hi there,

Firefox desktop and Fennec Android are syncing everything perfectly, including tabs from Fennec in Firefeox, except for when I try to view tabs from Firefox in Fennec I get the message: "You don't have any tabs open in Fennec on your other devices".

I have tried to figure out what's causing this and have searched for answers but I can't figure it out. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please. Appologoes if this is something obvious I've just missed.

Many thanks,

Hi When I enter an IP address from my network, Firefox does not connect to my network but instead tries to look up this IP address on the internet. For example, when I enter: 192.168.xxx.yyy/ or http://192.168.xxx.yyy

How can I access my local network?

I dont know if it's an issue with a recent update but everytime I open Firefox I get a popup asking me "What do you think about Firefox?"

It consistently happens when I close the app, open it again, and attempt to create a new tab.

When I click on YouTube comments to read them Firefox mobile pops up a blank window. Works fine if I switch to desktop mode. Android Version 16. Tried reinstalling Firefox. Cleared cache and cookies. Nothing so far has worked.

I have tried logging out and logging back in on my android firefox. accounts.firefox.com shows it is logged in, yet I do not see my firefox on android listed in my "Tabs from other devices"/"Synced tabs", in fact, I do not see any other device tabs listed. On my android firefox, it shows that I am logged in, yet the checkmarks for choosing what I want to sync are all disabled, the sync now button can be clicked but does nothing. I have tried logging out, forced stopping firefox app, and restarting android, nothing worked.

No doubt this has been asked before but I haven't found an answer, apologies! Just got a new phone. I have well over 100 tabs open on Firefox on my old phone and want to move them over to the new one if that's possible. The phones are synced but alas that doesn't do it. Is there a way to transfer all those tabs over to the new phone without copying every single Web address the hard way?

I have a few web pages on my local network that are behind basic HTTP authentication. If I try to navigate to any of these sites in Firefox for Android, I get the popup to enter my credentials, but after entering my credentials, the page just never loads. The loading indicator just stays in place.

I do get a 401 unauthorized if I don't enter correct credentials, but with the correct credentials entered the page juat never loads.

I've tried clearing site data, disabling extensions, and disabling protection features like tracking protection and dns protection, but none of that resolves the issue.

I also tried Firefox Foxus to see if my particular installation is borked somehow, but Firefox Focus has the same issue.

A different mobile browser though, such as Brave, loads the page just fine after my credentials are entered. Works just fine in Firefox desktop as well.

Is basic HTTP authentication just broken in Firefox for Android? Are there any other workarounds I can try?

(My phone is a Galaxy S24)
