Firefox Androidile Community Forum

Hi I am using Firefox for Android version 150.0.1 on Android 15. I am facing UI misalignment issues continuously. UI always drops down or goes up (whitespace on top) on every toggle between normal and private modes.

Please check attached step by step numbered screenshots and let me know if there is any possible fix.

I'm using a IQOO NEO 7 PRO 5G, Android version: 15 and Funtouch OS 15. Firefox Version 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687), GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024 AS: 150.0.1 OS: Android 15 . I was having this problem from the previous version (150.0.0).

I have set my phone to switch between light and dark mode on schedule. Everytime it does so, Firefox doesn't theme refresh correctly. Usually, the search bar will be on the old theme and I'll need to close Firefox as an active app and restart it to refresh correctly. This also means websites looking for theme refresh signals from the browser do not pick it up correctly and thus the browsing experience is visually jarring. This issue has been around for more than a year. Reinstalling Firefox hasn't helped. This is a bug in the browser code and can be reproduced on my Android tablet as well.

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.

Could you make a shortcut to switch on between "dark mode" and "bright mode" in the mobile app browser + pc desktop browser?

There are enough webpages that don't show correctly in dark mode. It is not convenient to change the dark mode each time in settings!

Thank you

I made the mistake of updating a working version of Firefox for Android and once again I had settings forced upon me. The Settings menu on the bottoms is horrible to navigate and I absolutely do not want nor need it. Apparently now I can't access the secret menu to fix it to the old side view for settings. Is there a way to change this? I'm at the point of frustration.

The new UI for the menu is awkward. A list is way easier to read.

I don't like being treated like I'm entering a grocery store that's testing on its guinea pigs.

It would be cool if you guys just allowed for Android UI customization, or at least a standard ESR style UI release.

The new one, with all the bubbles and nice looks, is honestly just hard to read. A list is logical and computer-like... Which just happens to be what Firefox uses to run on! A computer! LOLOLOL

Recently, the android app was changed internally that, ie. settings are no longer accessible through a sidebar menu but from the bottom up (?). Now, the entire tab view has changed - the tiled tab preview shows tabs as way longer tiles (which is incredibly inconvenient) and the layout at the top for accessing normal tabs, private tabs and synced tabs has entirely changed, too. But none of the guides I have found online to disable this change through settings (and secret settings) worked to set this change back. Is there any other way to change it back at all?

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

Ongoing bug that first started occuring on Firefox Nightly before being introduced to Firefox stable and now showing on forks such as Waterfox and Fennec

When viewing first view it takes up 3/5 of screen to extra click of full menu covering virtually entire page, also slower both from a usable standard along with the animation introduced.

Classic menu is simpler to use especially when with different browsers such as Chrome, webpages and many other none browser Android apps. Default use of address bar at top - same as on desktop - means that navigation involves moving thumb from top right of screen to bottom, instead of keeping in same area.

Example attached on how the function did and should still work.

Hallo there,

to my dismay my Firefox browser on Android now looks like an ugly Safari clone. Which is nice to have it was an option, but sucks as a permanent thing. Asides from not liking the look it activatly makes my browsing worse. You already are on thin ice with your AI crap ans honestly this might be the final staw. I really want to like you and support you, I really do, but the past few years you've been like that dumb friend that keeps doing the wrong thing despite everyone telling them to not do it. I would really appreciate it if I could choose how my browser looks and not to get a wose UI design because your c people are insecure and want to copy the popular kids homework. I hope you understand otherwise it's been a fun decade plus but you are working on killing yourself.

Best regards A longtime loyal supporter

Put back the menu bar!!!!!!!!! Who ever thought it was a good idea to remove it should be fired immediately. Firefox far less user friendly and useful and far less better than other browsers without it!!!! Errol Simpson

I beg you, just add an option to revert. Why, why are you even doing the redesign?? I would happily use your browser forever anyway, please, add an option to revert! I really don't want to move to Chrome, but the new design is so hideous I can't stand it

The new UI makes the tabs too long, blocky, and annoying to use/traverse on mobile, it takes me nearly double the time to scroll through my tabs than it used to. I would really appreciate a way to revert this as it is making my experience unpleasant and I am genuinely considering switching to a new browser because of it.

I'm having a problem where I can't get the old menu UI back. I've done everything I could and turned off what I was supposed to to use the old menu for android but I woke up this morning and everything it back to the new UI. Everything is still turned off to make sure I was using the old menu where everything was to the right of the screen but it still won't come back up the way it's supposed to and now I don't really have a clue what to do?

I have an issue in that, upon pressing the three-dot menu button on mobile, the browser menu is suddenly popping up from the bottom of the screen instead of sliding in from the side like it's supposed to, as well as what used to be a nice and neat list of options now being a cluster of hard-to-make-out icons and buttons. I didn't change anything in the settings to make it do this (I very specifically selected the "top" display option when I first downloaded Firefox months ago and haven't touched it since), and I've already checked reddit to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so, how to return my menu's behavior and appearance to normal (no luck).

I unfortunately have no images of what my menu is supposed to look like as it never occurred to me something like this could happen, but I can at least provide a screenshot of the ugly way it looks now (notice the little bar at the top of it that suggests I'd be able to "drag" it back to its correct placement? Yeah, it doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold my finger on it.) PLEASE tell me what can be done to undo this awful change and return my menu to normal!
