Firefox for Android Community Forum

I am a big fan of firefox but i see some difference between firefox and chromium based browser that is Smoothness. All those scroll and swipe are beautifully smooth on Chromium based browser but in Firefox, it stutter and feeling visual lag. I know that Firefox is made by different engine but on IOS it's feels smooth but on Android it's sluggish. I hope you guys find a way to fix those problem.

Today, using Firefox--or at least what i think is Firefox--i checed session history while logged into my mega.nz account. It lists 2 instances, one of which is for 3 days prior when I originally set up the Mega account using the Mega app, and the other is for yesterday when I entered the account using the FF browser--or, again, what i think is the FF browser. What's curious is that it shows i was using the Chrome browser, and that I'm apparently still using this browser as it's listed as the "Current" session. How can this be? While I have the Chrome app on my phone, I disabled it long ago and have never used it, and most certainly did not use it during the time and activities in question. I have long speculated that I have been hacked and that my phone is sometimes (always?) controlled by this hacker, though no solid proof. Assuming the hacker uses Chrome, could this be reflecting their using the Chrome browser, as opposed to the FF browser, which I'm currently using (or think im using)? In other words, is this the proof of a hack? Or is this a glitch within Mega, mistakingly listing Chrome as my browser?

Occasionally (it already happened three times today) when i'm browsing and switching between tabs, one tab will become an image of its contents (as in - no links work, can't scroll vertically or horizontally) and the others become grey. Trying to reload the pages or open new ones doesn't work, they never load. Turning the browser off by going to the phone's home menu and closing Firefox in the recent applications view doesn't solve the problem, it only closes any private tabs but the issue persists when opening any new tab or preexisting ones. The only way to fix the problem is by force stopping the app. I've cleared the cache, it didn't solve the problem, and reinstalling seemed to work for a few days but now the problem is back. For reference, my add-ons/extensions are: Ghostery, NoScript and UBlock Origin.

I have AdGuard app installed that uses a vpn to analyse the traffic and remove the ads even from the apps, not only from the browser.

When AdGuard (app) is turned on with its VPN feature (not an actual VPN, only to block ads), Firefox couldn't open any of the links. I have the certificate from AdGuard installed on my Android device, and even my bank apps trust it. The other browsers are working perfectly fine. Only Firefox couldn't load the pages.

When I switch to reader mode, characters such as é, è, à,... (All *very* common in French) appear as � This problem doesn't affect every page, and when it happens, the reader view first appears normal, but then switches font to a problematic one. The affected pages were reached through the internet archive, could this be what causes the issue ?

Is there a way of changing the font used by reader mode to one able to display these characters?

Some more Debug info: My phone and Firefox are both set to English, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. I use a couple extensions, but the issue persisted when I deactivated them on these pages.

Idk how to fix that problep bc its really bugging me out and i am going crazy

Here are the steps that i do to recreate the error

1. open a new tab
2. search up any website
3. on the same tab search up a diffrent website or click on a link on any link that redirects you on that website
4. literally after like 3 seconds firefox redirects you to the site that you were on before

Please how do i fix this cuz I hate it so much plskdjdiehzuzgzuahzjzvzkuzjzvz

I have this new issue, that Firefox needs like 3-4 seconds, before loading a page. It stays blank until then. Why has the Performance decreased so much?

Reinstall didnt help

I've recently upgraded from an a34 to an a56, both phones running the same build of Firefox, both signed into my account however the old phone can see the tabs of my laptop and the new phone, the new phone can't see anything. I'd like to be able to port the tabs over ideally.

Also of note is the tab view is totally different between the two phones in layout too.

I'm at a loss as to how I can painlessly move over the tabs.

Hello,

Since yesterday Firefox has been crashing within several minutes of opening the app. It initially appears to load fine, then begins to stutter and lag around 30 seconds in. At this point scrolling usually begins to stop and the Android UI locks up (can't go to home screen, etc). In addition the bottom Android bar usually flickers on and off.

The crash occurs whether a page is loading or not. It also doesn't matter which screen I'm on (the crash still happens if stay on the new tab page, load a new page, open the settings and hold there, etc). It also occurs when Twitter loads Firefox as its browser.

In most cases the app crashes with no crash log saved to about:crashes. However, around 1 in 10 attempts a crash log is generated. Here are crash stats from the two crashes that made it to

• First Report: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException
• Native crash - unhandleable OOM

Actions I have taken to try and fix the issue:

• Check for Firefox and Android updates (both versions were current)
• Clear app cache through Android system settings
• Restart phone
• Disable all extensions
• Close all tabs

I'm not certain this is the correct forum for this report. If posting here was in error please direct me to the correct bug reporting platform.

Thanks

Is there a way to shorten the toast message for closing a tab? I believe it's longer than 5 seconds (I slow counted to 7), which seems excessive.

My (personal, sure) reason for asking is that my RSS reader's "next" button is immediately beneath the toast, so if I've opened and closed an article I have to wait 5 seconds to get to the next.

My manual workaround has been to just leave tabs open and close them en masse, but that's a bit risky, given other tabs I'd like to keep open.

The message in referencing is at the bottom of the screenshot I've attached.

It would be ideal if I could turn them off entirely: I know that I closed a tab, after all?

Thanks at least for listening!

Help! I need a direct download of the current version of Firefox for android. I do not want to get it via Google play store and have to sign in for it there because I do not trust them. Can anyone at Firefox provide me with a direct link please? Thanks guys.

Hello,

I have an issue in the latest version of the android app. When I inputting any keyword into the url bar and hitting enter, instead of using my search engine to perform the search like in previous versions, the browser redirects to unrelated websites from my browsing history that vaguely share some characters with what I had entered and that did not show up in the suggestions. This makes the search bar unusable.

I wish there was a setting to not have the page refresh every time you go into another app and then come back into this one, it's impossible to multitask and extremely frustrating. It seems to happen on most pages I visit, even YouTube. Especially on pages with forms. It makes moving around on your phone to get info for forms impossible, and it's also just frustrating when you go to answer a text, come back and your progress on a video or form or shopping search has reset and started over, taking you back to the top. Is that sort of thing dependent on the website, or the browser?
