Firefox for Android Community Forum

when Google share links are sent to me, they won't open in Firefox. I have to copy and paste the entire uRL and open Chrome in order to view them on my android device. Pixel 9

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

I am using Firefox for Android, version 150.3. I have found that enabling the 'Hide toolbar when scrolling' option in settings causes search result pages to load incompletely. I have tried searching for other content to confirm whether this is a bug. I will use a search for 'bbc news' as an example to illustrate the issue. When 'Hide toolbar when scrolling' is turned on, the webpage fails to load all the way to the bottom. Only when I turn off this feature does the page load properly. I have made a screen recording video to show the specific issue. Since the feedback page does not support video uploads, please contact me via email: [edited email from public community support forum]. Additionally, I hope the feedback page can support Chinese, as I currently have to rely on translation to report this issue.

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.

I just switched to ff from chrome on both desktop and phone as well, and I was very pleased to discover how much ff has to offer. My question is: how do I see new news on the "News" panel which can be accessed from the home page on the right top (see pic attached). The contents are various, which is good and I understand I have to train it first to know my interests, which is not a problem. However, since installing (about a week ago) I have not seen anything new there. The pull to refresh is not working, there is no button I can press. I even thought I have to open them to sort of knock them out from the row, but that would be silly. But even after opening and reading the full article, upon returning to the panel, the same article is still there... 🤔 So, no news for me 😅 Is this a bug? Chrome got soo bloated with AI like Windows and has as many adverts like Facebook, so I looked for an alternative. Ff looked promising and after switching to Linux from Windows, it came as preinstalled browser. Ff is an old acquaintance, I have used it back in the time from since it was launched. Even then it was a better option, than Internet Explorer. We all get hijacked now and again to the new and shiny alternatives (hence the change to Cromer some time ago). But when the new and shiny is not so shiny anymore... Anyways, please help me out in where I'm missing something. The experience is very nice in any other way and extra medal for giving us the option to tailor AI features and not just cramming them down our throats. I am including a screenshot from the most recent chrome browser for Android to see the cramming and the layout. There a simple pull to refresh does the job.

Thank you for reading my rambling Kind Regards Zsanett

When the screen rotates, many videos freeze and thereafter all videos become unresponsive (and even some elements of the Firefox UI stop responding to taps) until the application is closed and restarted. I have experienced this problem for at least a year now. Reddit is a repeatable example: going to any feed (such as r/popular with videos), playing one, and rotating the screen.

I turned off all battery and CPU optimizations for Firefox, which improves performance on videos somewhat, but does not resolve this issue.

I set up a Collection to which I added several news websites. However, when I click on one of the websites, it takes me to the wrong site. Example: I have 5 sites saved: A, B, C, D. and E. When I click on A, it takes me to B. I have deleted the Collection several times and tried adding the same websites back into a new collection, but the same thing happens again. The same problem occurs to another Collection set up for some other websites. Thanks for any assistance!

I was trying to change my password because Firefox was acting crazy and would not let me log in, and everything that I have saved in my collections are now gone, which are 6 years worth of sites that I have saved. Is there anyway I can get it back? I'm on a Android 16 Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.
