Firefox for Android Community Forum

Whatever changes were implemented around start of March 2026 have made bookmarks almost completely unusable for me on Firefox Android. I have a set of bookmarks shared between my phone and my synced desktops, and they're all in folders within the Bookmarks Menu folder under bookmarks.

Since the change I mentioned, when I go to edit the folder a mobile webpage bookmark is in, it shows me the bookmark details, and when I click to change the folder, it shows me the Bookmarks Menu folder and the Bookmarks Toolbar folder and one other folder. Normally at this point I would expand the Bookmarks menu folder to see the subfolders and select one. But after I click on Bookmarks Menu it takes many minutes to expand (I don't know how long; I needed to do other things so I went away and came back to it) and many minutes to expand any lower layers in the hierarchy.

This is completely unacceptable. If you offer a bookmarks service, it should be possible to expand the folders of bookmarks within 3 seconds. It is completely impractical for it to take multiple minutes to expand each folder level, especially since Firefox always collapses all the folders before the next time I try to edit a bookmark folder.

Please fix this ASAP!!

Hello, Android app settings for Firefox reports 1.43. GB of "user data". This excludes cache, which I have cleared. As I do most of my browsing on my desktop (as I am now doing), this firefox-under-android has been little used. I have 1009 browsing history addresses. I usually select "necessary cookies only". I have no extensions. All storage based site settings are set to "ask to allow": I don't allow. I have cleared cashed images and files as well as downloads. There appears to be no means in the Android app of managing cookies on a site-by-site basis. What can I do to minimise user data? Thank you for your attention.

Backup and sync is not working on the phone and it's starting to piss me off beyond belief because this is why I got rid of Firefox in the first goddamn place. The sync button is not working at all I cannot get it to sync at all to my desktop nothing is working and I can't access my passwords I can't access nothing.

For at least 25 years Mozilla/Firefox have saved my passwords. Two days ago the column of passwords I am unable to open. What is problem and how to repair? I am 82 years old and under medical care and need my passwords of which many will never be used anymore.

Recently updated the app and now the search bar is broken and doesn't show any suggestions from the web/engine. It doesn't matter what engine I'm using as I've checked multiple to see if the problem persists. The only thing that works is Firefox suggest and all it brings up is some obscure random searches from my browsing history from years ago instead of suggestions from the Web on top. If I enter settings, toggle things on and off, then return to new tab then it will work for one time, but then it's back to how it was.

I have issues with Firefox when I am accessing my Schwab account. I cannot access all the functionality of the site with Firefox. If I switch to Chrome or Edge the site works fine.

I do not use auto rotate to switch to landscape format but the manual rotate button which shows up when you disable auto rotate. When i play a video in the Firefox Browser on Android and rotate with the button it rotates to landscape. When I then play a video (for example on youtube, but not only there) and open it in fullscreen and go out off fullscreen and want to rotate back to portrait the button just does not appear and i am stuck in portait format. I need to close Firefox and start it again for it to work properly again.

I hope I am right in asking for help here since this problem does not occur with Chrome but if I am wrong please tell me where to ask for help.

I've selected to delete my history on quit. However, when I subsequently reopen Firefox, I've found that under 'History' all my previously closed tabs are saved. Why is this? Why isn’t *all* my browsing history deleted on quit?

So when I did a search in Firefox Android via Google I noticed that the search results were in chinese. I checked on my other browsers (Opera and Chrome) and their search results are still in English. Yes, I am using WARP by 1.1.1.1 but if that's the cause then the other broswers should have been in chinese too. I tried doing clear cache then clear storage but it was still in chinese when I did my first search in that resetted Firefox. Might be relevant information: I had uBlock Origin installed when I first experienced it and after I did the clear cache and storage thing.

When i view on a phone in portrait all is good. Similarly if I rotate to portrait mode it is still good. When I then go back to portrait the scaling gets all screwed up and the page looks very bad. This did not use to happen about 3-4 months ago so it is a recent problem although not sure quite when this broke.

I've attached 3 images, the first showing the incorrect rendering in portrait and the other showing good portrait and landscape.

Thanks, David Hoyle

So i was trying to apply in Iness Ruhengeri university but at the last step, am trying to upload my A2certificate and ID cards as PDF but it seems to be impossible. I was using chrome but now i am trying this mozilla firefox to see whether if i can complete my application.

Firefox 148.01 on Android 10, when attempting to save a page in a bookmark subfolder I click the 3 dots, save bookmark comes up, I click on it, then I click on bookmarks edit which appears a few seconds on the bottom of the page and than it says bookmarks and underneath new folder, my subfolders don't show up anymore. So I can only save under bookmarks or underneath start a new folder. I don't see a way of moving the page from bookmarks to the subfolders either.

As above and when I click on the 3 menu dots to save a page in a bookmarks subfolder only bookmarks shows and clicking on that doesn't anymore bring up the subfolders like in version 147. So I can save pages only under bookmarks and there is also no way to move it to a subfolder from there.

I hope the mozilla team will keep the old toolbar ui like the image attach, old user such as myself are already familiar with the old ui and it would be inconvenient to adept to the new composable toolbar.
