Firefox for Android Community Forum

Every time I need to launch privacy mode in the Android app, I can't find the button or a link. I don't use it that often, but it's important when I do need it. Each time I need it I spend a lot of wasted time looking for it. Ultimately I have to ask Google Gemini how to do it. 1) I don't want to keep asking AI how to do it. It ought to be easier to find. 2) I don't want a shortcut on my Android desktop with its limited, valuable real estate.

After thinking about it, it occurs to me that adding the ability to add a privacy mode shortcut to the toolbar might be simple for the developers and it would solve my problem. It's too bad I can't add more than one shortcut to the toolbar in Settings, but a privacy mode shortcut is the one I'd select... if only one were available. (sigh)

Hello,

Unlike Opera, Firefox Android prevents the user from drag 'n dropping shortcuts to put them in folders. Besides, I reached the maximum number of shortcuts allowed

Is there an alternative to organize them — I don't want to put shortcuts on the phone homepage?

Thank you.

Overtime android seems to balloon in storage size.

I tried deleting history and data inside the app, it lowered slightly then shot back up.

I does not always go up, seems i can go days or weeks wothout a noticeable increase, my guess it is happens whenever android is managing stored memory on apps, i recently restarted and it grew again.

I have tried remote debugging over usb on a mac and could not find anything taking up any amount of data that would account for this.

I dont really know what to do, i would like to avoid uninstalling the app and manually readding pw thing or gaving to save them to firefoxs cloud save. Eventually i will have to as phone storage is getting very low.

I mostly just watch YT on a regular tab, and browse the web in private tabs. I have ublock , no script, video backgroundplay fix as enabled addons, if any of that helps. None of them had a big memory footprint in remote debug.

Hello.

I been enjoying the free VPN for days and I liked the fast connection, free and access for many days of uses.

then at middle of use, suddenly VPN stopped working, I looked at setting and noticed it's gone despite the shield icon at top left shows purple dot (likely showing VPN is on). I thought it's visual bug from settings so I get out app, restarted , then opened, still VPN option didn't show up, even the purple dot is gone. Then I updated Firefox android, still same. What happened? I got revoked access to VPN?

I cannot see the lock privaze tabs option in the settings. It does show up when I search for it but when I click it, it takes me to the options menus (as seen in the screenshot) but the option is not there.

I want to add Firefox as a search engine. But there's not a search engine on your settings. You use Google Bing DuckDuckGo. Why don't you have a search engine that says Firefox? That's my question.
