Firefox for Android Community Forum

Firefox Android requires my device password in order to view saved passwords, which suggests that passwords are encrypted at rest. However, it can also autofill passwords in webpages without requiring a device password to be entered. This suggests that passwords are unencrypted, at least while the phone is unlocked? (Unsure if device lock state matters.)

I'm wondering, at an app-data level, when are passwords encrypted vs unencrypted?

(Normally Android apps' data are hidden from other processes in secure containers, but certain privileged processes (e.g. especially on a rooted device) can still access this app data. So, I'm wondering if decrypted password data is ever stored in the app's data folder, or does decryption happen exclusively in-memory, or am I misunderstanding it and there's a secret third explanation?)

Hey 👋🏼

I have an issue with the Facebook 'recent post' feed: Only two posts were displayed in the 'recent post' feed and then a spinning loading symbol is at the bottom - then nothing else is loading on my OnePlus 12 and Google Pixel 6, Firefox version 126.0.

In Microsoft Edge it is working, all posts are loaded correctly, so it seems to be a browser issue.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

It's the same problem as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420806

Hello,

My phone seems to be having a problem where links I click on in my phone, whether from texts or emails or even typing into the search bar widget for firefox for my phone, is opening the tabs into the very top of my tab list. I have my settings set to the tabs being in a list, and new tabs open at the bottom, with older tabs farther up. But now new tabs from links are opening at the top of the list, and I have to copy the link and paste it into a new tab I set up manually and go all the way to the top of my tab list to close out the old tabs.

I also noticed when dealing with this problem that several old tabs I had open are no longer there. They seem to have just dissapeared. I have the setting to set tabs into an inactive section turned off, and I verified this is the case. I don't know where the old tabs went.

I am also having a problem where my bookmarks don't seem to be showing up. When I search for something in the URL bar, it searches my bookmarks, and when I edit a bookmark I have just added, I see all the folders. But when I just go to look through my bookmarks manually, I can't see them anywhere, and none of the folders I have made.

Are all of these things related?

My phone is an Android Motorola Edge 2022. It is fully updated, and the apps are fully updated regularly.

I also cleared the cache recently on all of my apps using ccleaner. This has not solved the problems.

Please help!

Thanks.

See above please ask someone human who speaks English to assist me with a reoccurring technical support problem. My phone number is [edited phone# from public community support forum] The new norm seems to be that I repeatedly have to type in whatever curiousity I have and before I can hit the send button everything I wrote is gone. This happens repeatedly

The more I tried to fix/delete the initial intro image issue it create even more problems - can't launch my original home page mow or have access to basic apps ??

Hi

Firefox appears in a black window when selecting split screen. Also, when clicking on links in Gmail app, firefox (default browser) appears as a small square window in the top left corner of the screen. The system and firefox app are both up to date. All other browsers are working fine.

Not getting emails from coinbase.com. I went through the instructions to unblock emails, but I cannot find unblocking function under security and privacy.

I want to know how to revoke clipboard access for a website. I noticed firefox by default gives permission to copy to clipboard without giving the user option to allow or block. Also no clue on how to disable the access. How can this be fixed? As there is no clipboard option under Site permissions.

I am trying to change the setting for default apps and it is grayed out (can't change it). This is the only app that I can't change and I want to know why. Redmi note 8 pro, android 11. (Sorry if this is not the right place or it has been asked before, it is my first time needing support)

I've been holding on to about 50 inactive tabs for quite awhile now, a couple of them for more than a year. No problems until just a few minutes ago most of them vanished without warning. All at once. What made them disappear, and can I get them back?

For some reason, for like, 19 out of 20 times I try, I cannot google search anything on the Android firefox app. I type in the query. I hit search. It loads for a long time. And I am met with "server error".

No other apps seem to have trouble connecting. No other websites on the same browser and phone has these problems. I can kind if get by as long as I know the url. But as soon as I try to find anything where I don't know the url. I get the same Server Error. It's been going on for weeks. I've disabled all extensions and uninstalled them. I've been on multiple networks both at home and work and mobile networks. I have reinstalled firefox. I have tonight even cleared both cache and data. Other devices on the same network and browser can google just fine. Nothing I can think of has made a difference.

I google. I get server error.

Anyone hasany ideas I can try out? I am certain some kind of user error is involved. It usually is. But I am at a loss of what it could be.

On the https://www.reddit.com/login/ website, I have multiple saved passwords. None of them work. Firefox lists them as it should, but when I click on them, it is not autofilled into the input fields. Even on old.reddit.com this happens. Please fix.
