Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox group, the translation of countries and site text is very limited, and most of the add-ons are not useful, and you can't go to Web Park with Firefox.

On Facebook, or other websites that have a text enter box that appears on the bottom, my keypad covers it and I need to scroll up to see what I've typed in and it Zooms back up to cover the text box as soon as I input a key. Whats going on?

I'm sure if I just don't know how to use it correctly or maybe I installed to many extensions that are conflicting but the private browsers won't work. Anybody got idea why this would be.

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

Browsing on firefox mobil gets very hot and laggy super quickly, brosing shouldn't be a heavy workload, but only in firefox my phone heats up and get lag super quickly until it became unbearable in terms of lag and temperature, after some searching I found out that this was a common issue and why didn't Mozilla fix this, it's a major known issue

I think the home page changed with the recent Firefox 137.0 update on my Android phone. It feels like something that may have changed intentionally, but it disrupts my existing usage. I would hope there is at least a configuration option to revert it, but I cannot find one.

I used to be able to gesture "back" out of a tab into my home page where I would see the search/location bar, tab controls, and hamburger menu at the bottom of the screen. (See second attached screenshot for this normal screen I'm talking about.) I would very often either use the tabs button to choose a different existing tab or the hamburger menu to get into the full Bookmarks list.

Lately, the back gesture drops me into a screen where input to the search/location bar is already activated, so the keyboard is open and the tabs + menu controls are replaced with the QR code button. (See first attached screenshot.) My usage of Firefox on a phone is very different than on a laptop with a keyboard. On a phone, I rarely want to write search terms, so this automatic input mode is a frustrating trap.

I have to gesture "back" again to get from this screen to the original screen, but with the keyboard open, I have to do the gesture in the upper half of of the screen, which is awkward with one-handed operation. Otherwise, the gesture is likely to trigger keyboard input instead.

Ideally, I'd like to skip this activated search screen and have the tabs + menu remain the bottom of the screen with the keyboard closed. (As in second attached screenshot.)

But, I never use that QR code button either. I also see it as a misfeature to have it replace the tabs and menu buttons when input is activated. I feel like the QR scanner should be hidden under the menu or show up as a third button, making the location bar a little narrower without moving the existing buttons.

If the tabs and menu buttons remained, at least I could try to use them directly without having to do the extra back gesture. But, the open keyboard input is still awkward, since it shoves the buttons halfway up the screen and muscle memory doesn't work for the target.

After activation of app, homepage appears with search bar AND keyboard, but no 3 vertical dot menu. The keyboard never used to appear until you hit the search bar. This has only happened recently and is a pain. Solution is to hit mobile's backup key.

Every time I open Firefox, since recent update, the keyboard opens on the lower portion of the screen, below my Shortcuts. Additionally, it places a camera icon over the 3 dots (...) so that I can't access my Bookmarks. This is very annoying, because I have to remove the keyboard before I can proceed. How can I permanently prevent the keyboard from intruding on my Home Screen on Android.

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

Hello!

I've been facing a problem in Firefox that has been going on for about 5 years: the multimedia keys on my HyperX alloy Core (membrane) keyboard only work ~33% of the time.

Problem details: - In other browsers (Chrome, Edge) and programs (VLC, Spotify) the keys work perfectly. - The problem occurs specifically in Firefox, regardless of the OS or driver version (I reinstalled Windows, browser, updated drivers). - I've tried the following solutions (without results): - Updating Firefox to the latest version. - Disabling all extensions. - Resetting the browser settings. - Updating HyperX software/drivers.

Additional information: - OS: Windows 11 latest update

- Firefox: Latest version instaled

I like mozilla browsers like Firefox, Firefox Focus and Other version like Fennec(F-Droid) ( I think it's not maintained by Mozilla, anyways leave it)

My default browser in settings is Firefox Focus and even after keeping it as default I got a prompt to choose between different browsers and I have choosen Firefox Focus again for Always but I don't understand why Firefox(Release/Stable version) kept overriding the default settings by itself without my permission, I don't understand how it can make itself as default browser engine? I want Firefox Focus to be default but Firefox kept on annoying me by making itself default, so I just deleted Firefox(Release) and Downloaded Fennec(F-Droid version), it's not causing this problem.

I hope, I have explained my problem as clearly as possible and I had downloaded that Firefox browser from Play Store and not anywhere else also it's the latest version. So it's not tampered and if you guys want details about my mobile

Device: Huawei's Honor 9 Lite LLD-AL10 Model, Android version 9 and EMUI version 9.1.0.

I haven't tested this bug or issue from other devices yet because currently I don't have anything else.

So Mozilla Support team members. Kindly solve this issue please, Thank you....
