Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi I have a couple of http only pages behind a VPN in a private network. When using Firefox for Android and entering the address, either with "http://" or no prefix, Firefox is not able to connect and instantly switches to "https://" mode. "HTTPS Only" mode is not activated, DNS-Over-TLS is also deactivated.

The page can be opened when using the IP address.

In private mode Firefox opens the page as expected.

All other apps on Android do not show this behaviour, i.e. Chrome for example opens the pages fine as expected.

With Firefox on Linux, it works fine.

How can I make sure that Firefox openes the HTTP page and not switch to HTTPS.

About:config is disabled in Firefox on Android so all tweaks changing the settings there do not work.

Tried this with and without plugins, no difference.

When the "Delete browsing data on exit" feature is enabled in Firefox for Android, the app correctly clears selected data types (e.g., Browsing history, Cookies, Cache) upon exit. However, the "Recently closed tabs"list is completely unaffected and remains intact after restarting the app.

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

For about a month, Firefox on Android has had a frequent problem where it stops loading pages and shows a blank page if I try to go to any open tab. The app is not frozen because I can click on things, ie, click on the browser bar and type in a URL, but no pages are visible. Force quitting the app fixes the problem. This is not only annoying but has other issues like losing any incognito tabs. The same issue has been reported by other users on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1ox1h2m/firefox_on_android_stops_loading_pages/

App info: 150.0 (Build #2016155439), 1a6c5c6f11fca486436075d92fd82d51f706c775 GV: 150.0-20260415192539 AS: 150.0.1 OS: Android 16

Recently when typing on Firefox on the duckduckgo search engine, anything you type gets doubled, and you cannot backspace. The issue doesn't occur when on Google page, only on ddg. I also tried different keyboard apps and the issue still persists. I went to the same page on Google chrome and the issue does not occur. This just started happening within the last week or so. If it matters/helps, I'm on Samsung s24 ultra.

你们家firefox beta安卓端删除数据重新登录后点立即同步有效果 一退出重进 或者连个vpn或者连个vpn然后断开vpn 就出现以下问题 1.按了之后一直显示 同步中 2.按了没反应 问题是持续的 也就是说一旦立即同步用不了了就得删除firefox beta的数据重新登录 太恶心人了

希望尽快解决

感谢你们

After March or Febuary I think? Bookmarks become incredably slow. My device is a S20 FE rooted using U.N.1.C.A ROM and using Snapdragon 865 processor. It took roughly 80 seconds or more just to open the main bookmark folder. I also have big bookmark folders but it worked fine on the last update. I came across a Reddit post with similar situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rhe8a5/bookmarks_are_a_lot_slower_to_change_location_on/ This is all I can gather

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

I've installed Firefox cause I get to know it's not chromium based, It seems fun but the sites are not loading properly, google search is not functioning normally like the ai mode or the ai summary you get It's not working and site are taking too much time to load I've only installed the recommended extensions maybe that could be the reason but I don't know and you guys should improve the UI make more character to it that's all you guys are doing great best regards

I recently, had a drop down to trigger installed extensions. I can no longer find it in the settings window. I now have a single extensions button in the settings panel. As I was entering this question, the original panel suddenly returned. See screenshots. I cannot duplicate this panel on my second device, and I only have the compressed settings window, which does not have the forward, back, share buttons at the top, and only has a single extensions button. Thanks!

I am using Firefox on mobile and I want to download images in the highest possible quality from different websites.

Sometimes the images look compressed or low resolution after saving.

Is there any built-in option or setting in Firefox mobile to always download original image quality? Or any recommended method to ensure full-resolution downloads?

Hi, When I click on "Bookmarks", I can see all of my personal folders listed there from A-Z. When I want to save a page, etc., and click on "Bookmark Page", my personal folders don't come up and I'm only able to save to the "Bookmarks" folder and not to a folder of my choice.

Thanks, very much, for your help in fixing this problem!
