Firefox ar Android Community Forum

Firefox updated on my Samsung Galaxy A11 this morning and now it crashes every time I try to open a web page. I have tried deleting/clearing the cache, but this didn't make any difference. It sends a crash report. Latest Sirocco link is crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/c23c689c-0beb-4a82-873e-0fd850251120

No doubt this has been asked before but I haven't found an answer, apologies! Just got a new phone. I have well over 100 tabs open on Firefox on my old phone and want to move them over to the new one if that's possible. The phones are synced but alas that doesn't do it. Is there a way to transfer all those tabs over to the new phone without copying every single Web address the hard way?

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.

Recently Firefox information text has appeared mauve. It appears on Bookmarks - Add, on the address field as highlighting, and the panel which pops up when I click on a link has a pale mauve background.

I haven't changed anything in settings. I have recently added my own screensaver, which has colours which might be related to this. I have tried changing settings to get rid of it and tried removing the screensaver with a long-press on the background, then "Wallpaper and Style" which shows screensavers etc, but there is no option to remove it. Those things are related to Android rather than Firefox, but no other applications have this problem.

I'm on Android 12, Firefox 145.0

Hi!

I have some problems with Firefox on Android.

I often visit the Swedish public service news site "www.svt.se/nyheter".

Sometimes some videos won't play, but if I open the same page in Chrome, playback starts as it should. One example is the video in this article:

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/smaland/over-400-kvadratmeter-parkslide-ska-bort-vaxjo-testar-ny-metod

A general problem is that I almost always have to reload the tab, to be able to watch the video, when I open an article in a new tab. The first time I press play, the video freezes. The sound plays but the image becomes static and pixelated, often in shades of green. One example is this article:

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/stockholm/uppgifter-sjukdomsfall-bakom-bussolyckan-i-stockholm

I have a Google Pixel 5 with Android 14 and Firefox version 145.0 (but the problem has existed in previous versions).

Thanks in advance!

I have a few web pages on my local network that are behind basic HTTP authentication. If I try to navigate to any of these sites in Firefox for Android, I get the popup to enter my credentials, but after entering my credentials, the page just never loads. The loading indicator just stays in place.

I do get a 401 unauthorized if I don't enter correct credentials, but with the correct credentials entered the page juat never loads.

I've tried clearing site data, disabling extensions, and disabling protection features like tracking protection and dns protection, but none of that resolves the issue.

I also tried Firefox Foxus to see if my particular installation is borked somehow, but Firefox Focus has the same issue.

A different mobile browser though, such as Brave, loads the page just fine after my credentials are entered. Works just fine in Firefox desktop as well.

Is basic HTTP authentication just broken in Firefox for Android? Are there any other workarounds I can try?

(My phone is a Galaxy S24)

so whenever I try logging into PlayStation using Firefox, it gives me some kind of server error. But when I try logging in with chrome for example everything's fine. (Android)

I recently downloaded the newest firefox update and have had some problems with the entire firefox app. The most important problem is that it is making my Abbott myMerlinPulse heart monitor app not be able to send out info or receive info while the firefox app is in use. It has always worked fine until my last firefox update. Other problems are everytime you collapse a page to look at another open page each page you reopen must reload every time you reopen it. The add blocker apps or extensions that worked fine have stopped working nearly as well since I updated to the newest version of firefox. The add blocker is letting ads through on sites that it hasn't before now and when you put your browser settings in they can change even if you don't have a setting turned on. I keep having suggestions show up on my home search screen even though I have all of those settings turned off. These are all problems I've been experiencing since I updated to the newest version of firefox and definitely need to get the problem with the firefox browser and my heart monitor straightened out! Please help fix this or these problems because I really like using firefox and don't want to have to change to a different browser.

Firefox for Android crashes to desktop when close all tabs is selected.

Running on Fire HD10 (11th generation).

Steps to duplicate:

• Select tabs button on address bar
• On tabs screen, select 3 dot menu
• Select close all tabs

Result: Always crashes.

On Android recently the search window requires pressing the space-bar TWICE to get a single-space, or pressing GO-button 2x to execute a search. That doesn't happen when searching from the address bar or w/ any other search engine except DuckDuckGo. 😡 I tried Smart Clean, clear cache & reinstall. Now I've lost all bookmarks, open tabs & history. 😤🤬
