Forum communautaire Firefox pour Android

EDIT: Nevermind. Update fixed the issue!

As of today, when I drag left or right on the screen in the browser, it tries to switch between next/previous tabs. This happens even if there's a web app I'm using that allows for click-and-drag functionality. I can't find a setting to turn this feature off.

Just got the new update 147.0.1 (Build #2016138271)

Wondering if there is any way to enable opening bookmarks in new tabs without having to menu/long press the link?

I'm pretty sure Firefox made that function by default before this update, and would be nice if they could make that a toggle option rather than wholesale disabling it.

It was actually useful (for me) on mobile. Made it easier to not lose a tab I'm currently on. Now I keep automatically losing the previous open tab with new content, kinda frustrating.

Much thanks for any responses.

Dear Support Team,

The past few months there is a major issue occurring in Firefox for Android. Whenever, I switch apps or i.e. go to the home screen, all tabs I have opened in the browser get reloaded automatically without my input. Furthermore, I searched online about this problem and one user, named Zeyu Zhong, had previously submitted a review on Google Play explaining this issue. Could you examine this based on user feedback and my own attachments in this email?

Yours trully,

Ilias Kslr

Up until recent versions, I had the option to choose after what duration of inactivity, all open private tabs would close automatically. After the recent update, I can't locate this setting. Moreover, the duration is now not just non customizable, but also random. Sometimes, Firefox closes them in a couple of minutes, sometimes 20, and after more than an hour at other times.

Hello, Maybe it's just me but i feel like i have to spam return on firefox android last update to see the tabs icon. Its kinda annoying for me. I hope its not an intended behaviour. I count 3 press to see the tabs icon after clicking on the research bar. Anyway have a good day. Thanks in advance and happy new year! Quentin

No matter what search engine is used, if I click a link or any other buttons (like clicking cast when searching a movie) from the results, it opens the results in a new tab. If I return to the tab with the search results, it creates a new tab and it will do this indefinetly. 1 simple search results in 4+ tabs being made. This is only an issue on mobile and has been an issue for several months. Last week, it resolved itself for 1 search results, then went back to creating a ton of tabs.

I have reset site permissions, deleted site data, enabled "open links in tabs instead of new windows", disabled "shortcut: click and hold link for 1 second".

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox (fresh install without extensions), which opens links from an external application (In my case Pepper for the discounts of online shopping) with an additional tab.

Preview in the attachment. Two cards open instead of one. The first tab is additional and empty, the second tab is a valid link.

Is there any way to disable this with the help of flags?

This does not happen in either Edge or Brave

When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

Hi! Is there anyone can guide me how can i turn tabbed view display on android tablet? I mean just like edge with tabbed view on android or tabbed view on windows. I can't find that settings, please help me to figure it out. TIA

As shown in image, Though the current tab is highlighted, a previous tab has shadow around it.

My setting: 143.0.2 (Build #2016116031), ae41fe4e0410af90d829e92b192065938fcd51e2 GV: 143.0.2-20250922120053 AS: 143.0 OS: Android 15

How to reproduce: Press + button on tab bar, then select any opened tab or enter a new site. The tab that is focused after this will always have shadow around. Then move focus to other tab without clicking + button. The highlight moves but not the shadow. edit: the tab that is focused on firefox launch also have the lingering shadow, untill you press + and select another tab.

I love the feature of always opening tabs in a private window. One thing that was critical to my workflow was being able to convert a private tab to a regular one. In recent version I see that the button to do this is no longer where it used to be.

Does this functionality still exist and I'm just missing where it is now positioned?

How do you disable the "feature" that closes tabs when you swipe over them by accident? It's way to sensitive and ends up closing tabs that I want to be left open all of the time.

hey, guys hope someone could understand what I'm trying to talk about.

after update to Firefox nightly 144.o1a, in the tab list, i need to slide over 70% to close one tab. feels like i have to very carefully slide it to make sure i really want to close the tab, and it kind of wasting time.

the past version like 110.a? are not, easily slide to close the tab.

so is there setting in the about: config can change it?

like the picture, it have over than it so the tan can be closed.
