Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello, Long time user and lover. Never had any problems with your great browser. This past week, on my phone, Firefox has been flagged "high battery background usage" and is continuously trying to put app to deep sleep. What has happened? How do I stop this? Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated Thanks Scott

Need someone to assist me with my app. And my phone, it's not working properly.It keeps popping up and doing weird stuff

When filling out an online form I sometimes need to switch to another app to get info. E.g. to find my bank account number.

However when I return back to Firefox the form often clears it even disappears and Firefox takes me to back to the previous page meaning I have to start again.

This is annoying if I only need one piece of info as I can cut and paste it but if I need two it makes it impossible to complete the form

Is there a setting I need to change?

Can a long standing issue — previously closed as "RESOLVED INCOMPLETE" — be recalled as a New Issue?

Firefox (Android) 134.0 (Build #2016064983), hg-b8005f63d9eb+ GV: 134.0-20241230151726 AS: 134.0

This is 3 time I have lost almost half of my apps while using Firefox. I just lost Firefox and alot of apps and don't understand how this can keep happening? I don't know which one's I lost or how to get them back? Very important to get those back. I pay my bills with some of them. Please help. I had to ad Firefox back to even do this

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

For the last few days when I am on the web using Firefox, my android screen is displaying large print - like it is zoomed in. There is no way to fix this. Assuming this is a result of your last fix/update. This needs to be addressed. This is not an issue with any other browser

I bought a new android (Samsung) tablet. I want to sync all the tabs I have on my Windows PC to the tablet. I am not tech savvy.. further, why can't the Firefox page that shows all my saved tabs and bookmarks look the same on my tablet? sheesh...

I will have to stop using Mozilla after many years - sad. But I am getting links blocked by stupid error messages about security when the sources are well known and protected. Today it was the Journal of the American Medical Association. I have no time to deal with this nonsense.

When I try to open firefox on my android phone, it just closes and gives me an error message which I have attached a screen shot of.

I do not know if this is related but this happened after I scanned a qr code and tried to open it.

I have un-installed and reinstalled the app and turned my phone off then on again after reinstalling but this did not help.

Pls can you help?

What does this mean and how do I fix it? Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Thank you, John Dunigan

Entering any text on Reddit or most forums using Firefox Nightly for Android forces indenting and carriage returns to be deleted. Even as I'm typing the text will jump randomly to condense into a single paragraph and add multiple spaces to indent the paragraph.

Samsung S24U, I saw the same behavior on my S22U as well, so it isn't a cache/cookies thing. I do not experience the issue with regular Firefox for Android.
