Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

Sync collections after Android factory reset, have Firefox on desktop that is synced, but the new Android install synced bookmarks but not collections, of which i have many, or did.

I'm sure I've just missed a step, but been reading for 3 weeks now .... any idea's?

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

Hi there,

I'm sorry if this question already exists or if a ticket has already been opened, but I can't find any information on the internet. I'm experiencing something strange. When I try to open the password manager, Firefox asks for my password to unlock access. The password is correct, but then Firefox keeps asking for it and there is no way to go back and I have to close the application.

Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Android 14. s22. All versions of Firefox. Anytime I click a input box to amend it or add a word to the end of it, hitting the space bar deletes the last word.

At first I thought it must be Gboard, but Gboard does NOT do this in Chrome or Brave. only FF. I also uninstalled Gboard and reinstalled it. Samsung Keyboard does not do this. It is specific to gboard within Firefox and I suspect it's Firefox triggering the glitch even though it only happens on gboard. Because it does not happen on Chrome. Only Gboard+Firefox.

See video example: View in full size or it gets cut off in view: https://youtube.com/shorts/IOpCrJnFQ3Q

I have a Huawei P30 Pro and beta Firefox browser. When I try to view my passwords on Firefox, it brings up a lock screen password prompt. This page requires my password, but the password is not recognized, even though it is correct. The lock screen password works in other situations but not in Firefox

I have 'synced' my old phone. Now I have new phone with a Firefox that I used for setup, which has a few open tabs and maybe a couple b9kmarks. I want to 'restore' everything fromthe old Firefox to the new. What happens if I 'sync'?

My guess is 'sync'ing the new firefox merely backs up its current state...

I want to change my download directory on the mobile app, I've tried the solution of this post, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore, I can't find any other solution

For now I have only noticed this on reddit (didn't check any other sites), but when a video plays, even after I close the tab or when I close firefox and clear it from my recents and "active apps" sometimes the audio controller inside android doesn't close, force quitting firefox is the only way to make it go away

And the weird thing is that the player has no title no timeline no nothing, just has the firefox nightly icon just on the bottum left corner of where the artist cover would go

Device is a OnePlus 12 on android 15
