Forum communautaire Firefox pour Android

On Firefox for Android beta, there's a critical annoying bug. When you click on a link, any link, it will look as if Firefox will load the web page but suddenly, it goes back to the previous web page. This is incredibly frustrating since it's almost like you're redirected back randomly. I checked this with no extensions enabled as well as even with just ublock origin and privacy badger extensions enabled

Hello, I have a reproducible issue on Firefox Beta for Android on my POCO X6 Pro 5G running HyperOS / Android 15.

When tapping mailto: or tel: links in Firefox, nothing happens. No app opens and no chooser dialog is shown.

The same links work correctly in Google Chrome, so the Phone/Dialer and Email apps are properly registered with the system.

This appears to be related to Bug 1988946, but it also affects Android 15 on HyperOS.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox Beta on a POCO/Xiaomi device running HyperOS.

2. Visit any webpage containing a tel: or mailto: link.

3. Tap the link.

---

Actual Result

No action is triggered.

No Intent Resolver popup appears.

No dialer or email app is launched.

---

Expected Result

tel: links should open the default Phone app.

mailto: links should open the user’s email app.

If multiple apps are available, Android should show a chooser dialog.

What I have already tried

Enabled “Open links in apps” in Firefox

Reset Firefox default preferences

Reset Phone (Dialer) defaults

Granted all special permissions (background activity, pop-ups, etc.)

Tested Firefox Stable and Beta

Cleared app cache/data

Rebooted device

Verified that Chrome opens tel: and mailto: links correctly on the same device

---

Additional notes

In HyperOS settings (“Opening links”), Firefox does not receive supported link types.

The Phone app does not appear in “Opening links”, but it works fine with Chrome.

This suggests a compatibility issue between Firefox’s intent handling and Xiaomi/POCO HyperOS on Android 15.

Conclusion

This issue is reproducible 100% of the time and affects basic link handling functionality. I am available to provide logs or run additional tests if needed.

Thank you!

Hello,

I am currently on the latest version of Firefox Beta for Android, version 146.0b4.

For some time now (6+ months), this installation of beta fails to sync my bookmarks from or to Mozilla's servers. I've verified that desktop Firefox and Firefox stable on Android will still sync.

It took me some time to notice this was the case, and at first I hoped it would resolve itself, but it hasn't. I have many newer bookmarks on this installation of the browser, and if I reinstalled in an attempt to fix this issue, I would lose these bookmarks.

How can I keep my newer bookmarks on mobile, while also fixing the sync functionality? There doesn't seem to be a way to backup bookmarks on Android other than sync, which isn't working.

Other sync data aside from bookmarks is still syncing fine. I tried signing out of Firefox on all devices, then signing back in, but that didn't resolve the issue.

When typing a long search string in a new tab (Google search) which goes out to the right I can't see what I'm typing. Scrolling to the right is extremely laggy and can take seconds for each word. Tried this with the Chrome search bar and the Android settings search, the issue doesn't happen there.

Galaxy S25, Firefox Beta 145.0b7 (Build #2016122735), GBoard

Am not able to search from address bar. Input sits a second then Startpage appears from the home page with the start bar.

Also, where exactly do I access java script. about config does not do anything because I cannot search from address bar? Or is it disabled on this version which, according to info I found Beta and Nightly have the about config option.

Last, this is a brand new account so it might not show up.

Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

I need help with fixing certs I beleive were changed by an application. I found some files in an application I installed through another without fully looking at the extra packaged material. One seems to be a configuration file for CA certs and the other is a list of SSL certs taken from Mozilla that were included with the intent of editing trusted user certs. I now see the evidence of a Linux device using my Firefox. To me, that is pretty clear evidence that Shell was used for some connection. So, with that, I'm assuming the certs on my device are not correct, and need to be fixed. Please let me know what I can do for this and if there is any other information you can give me on how to find out more about what to do. Unfortunately, there are also files that seem to also change user to a fake user while they gain root as guest. Any additional information including removing and replacing all certs wouldbe very helpful. Im trying to get to a certain point of restricting access and making a move to alert the correct people in Github and a couple of others with/towards some of the files before I do any kind of reset as I am not fully sure how tainted the restore might be.

I'm having this annoying issue where I search up something and click on a result, the tab reloads and then i gotta click the result again to open it... I've had it happen on two devices (Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and Samsung Galaxy S25) with no apparent fix.

Example, I search up Nintendo and the website shows up, I click on it but it doesn't open the website, it will reload the tab so then I gotta click on it once again.

Please upgrade bookmark management. It takes too many clicks to get to the list. Favorites are too few spots. Can't drag drop to order or swipe to delete. It's been a decade or more folks.

Sure, might be www.alternet.org issue, but uses to be able to click articles. I can't for months now. It would be wise for Firefox to know why, even if they have to change something.
