Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello, I enjoy using Firefox for Android and prefer it over Chrome but in recent months I have noticed one major drawback: the new handwriting to text feature on tablets is not working in Firefox contrary to most other browsers like Chrome. Android has had this feature for some time now and I wonder if Firefox will implement handwriting to text for interacting with websites as it is a very natural and satisfying way to browse. Sincerely, Maurice

When I launch Firefox, the first page, search function, bookmarks, or any pre-existing tabs fail to load and instead default to the homepage. On the second attempt, everything functions properly until I restart the app. After closing it, this bug occurs again and again. I would appreciate it if you could address this issue. Thank you for your efforts.bold text

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox today on my phone. I am able to save and make Collections by holding down on tabs and selecting the option, but I do not see a Collections section on my homepage at all, meaning I can't edit or open them.

In the tab page, or whatever you call it, on the android app, I believe before I could swipe between private, sync, and normal tabs. Now with this new update, it seems I have to shimmy my phone so I can reach the three buttons at the top. Don't remember having to do that before. Is there any way to turn swipe controls on? Or at least move the buttons down to the bottom of the screen? Thank you

When I'm watching videos on twitch, ads are still playing even though I have ad blockers on. The blockers will work for about a day, but then the next it just doesn't block any ads anymore.

When I'm sent links via the "share" functionality of apps or websites, I get an url beginning with https://share.google... This url is not resolved by Firefox browser on the phone, so when I click it (Firefox is my default mobile browser) or even copy paste it in the search bar, the website remains loading. If I copy paste it in Chrome browser, it works normally.

When I click a Google search result link and that link is for lets say a home Depot product, firefox android opens a tab then opens the app. This causes a ton of useless redirect tabs to be left open. I want the apps to open when clicking search results if there is a app to do so. But I don't want the tabs to be left open in Firefox. I've switch to Samsung browser and this doesn't happen. I click the link, the browser makes a tab, then the app opens, then the tab closes. Which is ideal. I've searched and searched and can't seem to figure this out.

On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I had several tabs open in my browser. Sometimes when I try to open a previous tab, the page goes blank. It doesn't load on its own. I have to manually drag it from top to bottom to load it. The page should have automatically loaded to the previous page. As you can see in my screenshot below, my YouTube website is here. I opened this tab this afternoon and now when I open it at night, I see this.

Hello, I work a lot with favorites and have built quite a sophisticated folder structure. Since the latest updates, it’s become easier to manage everything when creating a new favorite—it’s clearer and easier to navigate.

However, there’s one issue: every time I want to add a new favorite, the same folder is always shown as the default, and I have to navigate to the desired folder each time. If I want to save several pages in a row to a different folder, this becomes very annoying. It used to be that the last selected folder was offered as the default.

Could this perhaps be changed or improved again? Thank you very much!

Usually the mobile version looks the way it should, but sometimes, shortly before an update, it changes its layout to Desktop Mode for a few days at a time. I am not sure why, and the layout usually changes back shortly after the update was made.

The browser recognizes Russian on the website as English and automatically translates it into "Russian," but what it actually produces is a jumble of letters that are neither Russian nor English. Essentially, the browser is translating from Russian—which I don't need to translate, since I'm from Russia—into an incomprehensible, non-existent language. And I can't turn off automatic translation of Russian because it's not available. There's a toggle switch: "Never translate English," but that doesn't work for Russian. You can click "Never translate this site" on the website itself, but the problem is that it's for a single website. It means I have to turn off translation and reload the website every time I visit a Russian-language website. This is very inconvenient. I ask you to add an option to disable translation of an entire language, not just English or a specific website.
