On the most recent update (7/14/2025), my basic Firefox settings were apparently wiped without any notice. To be clear, other things like my bookmarks were not lost, and my extensions were still installed at least. I previously had Firefox setup to not show me any content when I start it, just a blank page. I also had history saving disabled by default (ie privacy mode). After the update, you started showing me a page that wasn't blank and instead had suggestions on it. Also, the history was being saved from that point on. If I wasn't somewhat tech savvy, I might not have noticed the second change, as there was no warning from Firefox that my settings would be reverted with the update. I eventually figured out how to restore the behavior I had previously with this new version, but it took quite a bit more fiddling than previously to get history saving to be disabled by default when starting Firefox. I do appreciate the addition of fingerprint auth to switch to the app now as an option, but over all this seems like a predatory thing to do to users. I was asked to post here by a developer response to my review on Google Play in which I reported these issues (though much more briefly due to the character limit). I do understand that major updates/changes can require resetting configuration. However, those kinds of updates should display a warning/notice of such a change. I did look for such a notice on the "What's new" content for the update, which isn't something most people would likely even look at, but even there I did not see any indication that past settings would be lost/wiped.

I'm using collections in my home page. Great feature, except it's SO EASY to delete something by mistake! There's no Undo, no way to restore what was deleted... It there a way to add more friction for deleting something from there? (An Undo button would also be great but I guess that's more a feature request)

I'm using Firefox on Android and I'm having trouble clearing cookies in the following situations:

- When browsing in private mode, after closing all my private tabs and closing Firefox - When browsing in private mode and turning on 'Delete Browsing Data on quit', and quitting by pressing the quit button - When browsing in private mode and manually clearing cookies with 'Delete Browsing Data's

I know cookies haven't been cleared because I'm still logged in to websites in private mode after performing the above actions and restarting Firefox. I need to close and restart Firefox multiple times before cookies are actually cleared.

I have not tried this in regular (non-private) mode.

Could I get help with clearing cookies consistently?

When changing the login password in Firefox, I can select the "Use strong password" option, but the password automatically generated by Firefox will use characters that cannot be used as password (such as symbols), and the system will not accept the "new" password generated by Firefox, so the Firefox's automatic password generation will be wasted. There are very few sites that embed allowed character types as a password on password changing page, so is it possible to manually specify the character type or re-edit the generated password?

I run Fx140.0.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S24, and I have two issues:

  1. When opening a map on posten.no (Norwegian postal service), the map display shows up as diagonally mirrored top left to bottom right, with the left/lower part shown correct and the right part being a perfect mirrored image along the diagonal. The map is driven by ESRI
  1. When using https://globe.adsbexchange.com/, some aircraft symbols are distorted, see attached screenshot

Is this a known behaviour to Firefox for Android? In Google Chrome I don't see these flaws.
