Hello,

Thanks in advance, Geert Tuytschaever

Hi

These are two thing that are not normally connected.

Firefox for Android has a QR scanner built in, and if you device has a flashlight you should be able to access it from the Android notification panel by swiping down from the top of the screen.

I hope that this helps.

Thank you for your quick answer Seburo.

Unfortunately this does not work. When I activate the QR scanner and want to turn on the flashlight, I get a message that the flashlight is already being used by another application (however, at that moment no other app is open, only Firefox). When I first turn on the flashlight and then activate the qr scanner, the flashlight goes out.

Kind regards, Geert Geert Tuytschaever
