Firefox ar Android Community Forum

I'm giving my old Galaxy S7 to a friend, I've got her a prepaid SIM and put it into the S7 (my own SIM has gone into a new S22). I've managed to set up the S7 to sync with her data via DAVx5, Thunderbird was easy to set up thanks to the QR-Code export, and various other things worked as expected.

BUT she uses firefox sync, and so do I. I deinstalled firefox on the S7, and reinstalled it, and changed to her sync account - but all my own personal data (bookmarks, chronology etc) are still there. That's not only really annoying, but also a breach of my private sphere.

Google KI tells me to give her sync account a new password, before doing that decoupling from sync on all used devices; we have five, so that would be a real pain. The only other option I see is a factory reset and then repeat all the work setting up the S7.

So what I'm asking for is an option when firefox is deinstalled, or as an extra option in the settings, to delete all stored personal data.

I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

Hi, I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android device often crashes or freezes whenever I try to launch or access certain modded APK-based games. I’ve already tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the issue still happens.

Is there any known fix or setting that could help Firefox handle these links or game launches more smoothly?

Thanks in advance!

I'm unsure if doing this will actually help me with a problem that I'm having, but I assume that it can't make it any worse, so my question is "Where can I download an (android) Firefox from?

For my puposes, I have the following requirements.

• My device has the Google play store (app), but I'd prefer to get a version of Firefox from a different location (because I doubt that what I want is in the Google play store). I know that Mozilla has sites that are specifically for hosting links to all of it's Firefoxes, so a link to one of those sub-sites would be ideal.
• The Firefox will need to be an ANDROID Firefox (because my device is an android tablet with an android OS).
• I don't know if Mozilla makes an (android) Firefox that is specifically for arm64-v8a android devices, but if they do, that would be preferred.
• EXTREMELY IMPORTANT = The Firefox will NEED to be able to use plugins. (I know that only some plugins will work in (android) Firefox.)
• I know that installing an (android) Firefox from anywhere except the Google play store (app) will mean that I'll (probably) need to manually visit the linked sub-site & get any updated versions from there. I accept that responsibility.

I am currently using (among other android web browsers) "Firefox beta", which I got from the Google play store a few days ago. I have a few logins (Google, Yahoo, & Facebook) already saved to that Firefox, but with Google, that was a pain in the (GUESS), & I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Is there a way to "export" my (already installed) android Firefox beta's login information & then import that into a new side loaded (android) Firefox? If so, I'll need a link (or the instructions themselves) for how to do that.

Why did you guys have to go and update the privacy policy 😠 I've been going around telling everyone it's a no brainer to switch from chrome to Firefox because chrome uses your data for its own purposes, and now I have to put all that on hold until we all figure out the new scheme you're cooking.

This choice is causing you to vacate your corner of the market. On any browser ranking, and I've read several since this policy change, the benefits of Firefox are always that it's the mainstream browser with good privacy practices. That's been the only benefit of Firefox over chrome for a long time. If you want inspiration to get back on board, look at what happened to D&D when they changed their license, or Unity when they changed their license.

Don't lose out on your market share. Mozilla AI isn't worth it.

When I try to play whatever video on X in Firefox Nightly mobile, it just shows sequences of solid colors. Audio is still normal.

The issue happens for both GIFs and Videos This only happens in Firefox Nightly. In Firefox, the videos can be seen just fine.

Bonjour, j'ai suivi la procédure pour synchroniser mon firefox sur pc et mon firefox sur mon android, pour avoir mes marques pages sur mon android. Je suis bien connectée à mon compte modzilla sur mon pc et mon android. Sur mon pc, j'ai bien récupéré les marques pages de mon android. Par contre sur mon android, je n'ai pas récupéré les marques pages de mon pc... Pouvez vous m'aider s'il-vous-plaît ? Merci

Hi there,

Firefox desktop and Fennec Android are syncing everything perfectly, including tabs from Fennec in Firefeox, except for when I try to view tabs from Firefox in Fennec I get the message: "You don't have any tabs open in Fennec on your other devices".

I have tried to figure out what's causing this and have searched for answers but I can't figure it out. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please. Appologoes if this is something obvious I've just missed.

Many thanks,

I dont know if it's an issue with a recent update but everytime I open Firefox I get a popup asking me "What do you think about Firefox?"

It consistently happens when I close the app, open it again, and attempt to create a new tab.

I need to reset my passwords because little hackers tried to take everything we had in the bank, but they picked the wrong one. I can do the same things that they're doing, but they still have access to my accounts.

Unlike other apps firefox does not stay on. I make notes from websites and firefox is virtually useless on my android tablet.there is no good solution for this other than to set my screen time out to never and changing it back afterwards as it affects other apps also. Extension like caffine does not work on android.

Have be3n hav8ng this problem for at least a week, on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 with Android 14 (One UI). About 20cto 30 seconds after launch, the browser abruptly closes back to the home screen. Have tried resetting the tablet, clearing some old apps out, etc., but thr problem persists.

I have dumped the latest Mozilla Crash Report from my browser. Apparently, there is an issue with memory:

Can SOMEONE help me figure this out, what should I do, etc.? I am going crazy fighting this..
