1. 1: Way to disable auto zoom on android.

Have screen zoomed up manually to see screen content on android phone. Start typing phone zoomes in to close and can not see whole field or other important info on screen I had previously zoomed in to see. every time I zoom out to see again and start typing auto zooms back to where it it difficult. Makes it difficult to be productive fighting the auto zoom feature. would like to be able to disable it, if possible. would make my life much easier as I work away from home and have to use my phone for many tasks. Prefer Desktop to avoid these issues but situation is what it is.

1. 2: Fix sort order on Bookmarks (Have in My Manuel order of importance order on desktop), on Android (sorts alphabetically). difficult to locate bookmarks

Hi. When I want to bookmark a site, it says the error "invalid url." It doesn't add to the bookmarks. But when I bookmark the same site on the PC with the same profile, it adds to the bookmarks. I will help you give every data you want to check. The sites I want to add to the bookmarks do not add them on sites such as Google Twitter etc. Thank you in advance. I hope you will help.

For some reason I can now no longer save my bookmarks to a specific folder anymore it's not giving me the option. As is shown in the image below, this is the only thing that pops up when I try to save my bookmarks now, even when I click on the arrow next to bookmarks it does not expand out to show me all the folders that I have in my bookmarks so I was wondering if there's a way to get it to work properly.

I used to be able to save bookmarks in specific folders. That option is no longer available. When I try and select Bookmarks Menu nothing happens. I can go into Bookmarks and see all my folders. I don't know after which update I noticed the issue. Is there a fix for this? I'm running Firefox 148.0.2 (Build #2016148295), on Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, SM-P 613.

TIA Pat

Int the main Bookmark menu, the sub folder "Food" does not show. Cnnot place the bookmark in the right folder. None of them are showing. Selecting the edit button doesn't show them either.

Recently I haven't been able to properly edit my bookmarks. I can't sort them into sub-folders when saving or editing them. The subfolders still exist, I just can't seem to add anything to them. And going further back picture-in-picture doesn't work. It works for another browser but all I get from Firefox is audio only. Solution?

When adding a bookmark on Android, I used to be able to sort bookmark order within folders by custom sort, A-Z, and age. Recently (as of 148.0 (Build #2016144279)), the folder menu when adding a bookmark is now different, but the sort options no longer work.

I'm making a post here before making one on Mozilla Connect, in the hopes this bug can be passed on to a developer.

Android 16 phone, Fennec v148.0.0

When I simply want to save the page I am on to my bookmarks, I press the Bookmarks icon, then I go to the destination folder, and there I have several icons but no option to save.

I've used Firefox a long time on different platforms, bookmarks get duplicated, irrelevant and numerous for the same websites.

When I try to rationalize them the workflow does not allow me to easily bin the superfluous ones without opening the site and then only removes the title not the web address.

The computer work flow is much better but as mobiles are now more frequently used as main devices, would it not be sensible to change this behaviour for a better workflow?

I am experiencing a bug where subfolders do not appear in the "Select folder" screen. In the Bookmarks manager, my folders exist correctly. However, when I try to save a new bookmark, the "Select folder" screen only shows the root "Bookmarks" folder. Even if I tap the ">" icon to expand, the subfolders are not displayed. Device Info: App Version: 149.0a1 (Build #2016143751) OS: Android 12

Please please stop this side swipe delete in Collections. Every time I hold the phone at a slight angle the tiniest sideways movement deletes the saved URL. It's driving me nuts and it's not needed as there is a delete X there. Thanks

Existing Firefox Desktop user with Mozilla account (which lets me sync bookmarks across several Desktop devices.) New Firefox Android (version 143.0.2) user, logged in with Mozilla account, Desktop bookmarks are accessible now on the Android Firefox installation.

Problem: I'd like keep the folder in which my bookmarks (synced from Desktop --- the folder shows up on Android Firefox as Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar > (a set of folders I have on Desktop firefox containing my bookmarks) open after launching a web site from a bookmark stored there.

Observation: Currently after launching a web site from bookmark stored in the above folder, the navigation I made to reach my bookmark folder of choice is no longer open, so I need to repeat the navigation process from the start to get to my bookmark folder (that was synced from Firefox Desktop.)

Alternately: I'd like copy selected bookmarks from my (large) library of bookmarks (synced from Firefox Desktop) onto the home page of Android Firefox but do not see how to do this (I can edit the bookmark where it currently resides on the Android Firefox installation, but I don't see how to make a duplicate copy on the Android Firefox home page listing (and I don't want to delete the existing bookmark(s) on the Android Firefox installation.)

Happy to provide any clarification requested or answer any questions about this request!

Thank you.

Hello Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report an issue with bookmark management on Firefox for mobile.

On my phone, when I search for bookmarks using the bookmark search feature, I am unable to select multiple bookmarks at the same time (for example, by long-pressing or using multi-select). This makes it difficult to manage or delete several bookmarks at once.

This issue does not occur on Firefox Desktop, where multiple bookmark selection works as expected. The problem appears to be limited to the mobile version only.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox on a phone. 2. Go to Bookmarks. 3. Use the search bar to find bookmarks. 4. Try to select multiple bookmarks.

Expected behavior: Ability to select multiple bookmarks in search results on mobile.

Actual behavior: Only one bookmark can be selected at a time.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, MAS

I'm a heavy bookmark user. I have numerous bookmark folders and numerous bookmarks within each folder. I love the way the desktop version (Firefox for Windows) allows for easy sort and save for bookmarks. I absolutely hate the way Firefox for Android handles bookmarks. There is no way to sort and no way to choose a default save folder.

Awhile back a change was made to Firefox for Android. Before the change, saving all new bookmarks automatically saved them in the root Bookmarks folder where they were easy to grab and reassign to a particular folder. After the change, bookmarks now get saved in the last folder used.

This causes problems with later finding bookmarks when they were saved in a folder that wasn't expected and is especially troublesome when you have numerous bookmark folders. For example, I had been saving bookmarks in the root Bookmarks folder. Every once in awhile I go through that folder and move bookmarks I want to keep into other folders. Whichever folder I last moved a bookmark to now becomes the default save folder. The next time I save a bookmark it goes to that last used folder. If I don't remember which folder it was, now I have to search. Or I have to remember and be fast enough to hit "Edit" on the small pop up window that shows up after saving a bookmark.

But it gets worse. I recently went through my bookmarks and moved several from the root bookmarks folder into other folders. I later saved a bookmark and had to go find it in one of the sub folders. After finding it, I moved it back to the root Bookmarks folder. Let's call it "Bookmark A". Fast forward several weeks where all subsequent bookmarks were saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I desired. I then went through all my bookmarks and deleted those I no longer needed. This time I didn't move any of them. BUT, the last bookmark I deleted was "Bookmark A". The next time I saved a bookmark, it did not get saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I expected. I had to go find it again in the same sub folder where "Bookmark A" was originally saved. Apparently, when I deleted "Bookmark A", Firefox for Android somehow remembered the next most recently used folder. I hate this so much!

Can we get a setting to define a certain folder as the default folder for future saved bookmarks?

I don't understand the reason for the change in the first place. But, if there are plenty of users who want bookmarks automatically saved in the last used folder, then give everyone a setting to either choose that method or a default saved bookmark location.

I'd also like to see a drag and drop method to sort bookmarks as well as settings to sort by name, date, etc.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox for Android on a Samsung S25.

Hello. Good morning. Bookmark management in the mobile version is very strange. As far as I can tell, managing bookmarks in folders and subfolders is almost impossible and unusable. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us for so many years. I wish you to continue to be useful and cool for humanity.
