Firefox for Android Community Forum

(1) Page become blank and only show big firefox logo everytime i switch from other app.

(2) after the page become blank, If you type new url in the url bar on this page, it doesn't go to your URL instead the page will refresh to the previous url. So you have to enter your URL twice. It look like some memory issue, but my phone has 12 GB RAM, run on latest android and hyperOS 3.0

This good browser become barely usable with this annoying bug. So please fix this issue.

If I have a YouTube video open in another tab, when I switch back to that tab my screen will automatically become landscape mode and will not rotate to portrait mode. The video doesn't become fullscreen; it doesn't matter whether the video is playing or not. This happens even with auto-rotate turned off. The only way to get the tab back to portrait mode is to make the video fullscreen and then minimize it, after which auto-rotate works correctly again.

Firefox on android gets stuck in landscape mode after playing a video on YouTube. Usually this happens after exiting fullscreen but can also happen when switching to another app and back to firefox. Going in and out of fullscreen again usually fixes it, but you can't do that on shorts and it's very annoying. I tried to use a fix posted 7 years ago of going to about:config (which I had to go to separate settings and enable to even get there) and toggling media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation, but that setting doesn't appear to exist anymore. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hello, Maybe it's just me but i feel like i have to spam return on firefox android last update to see the tabs icon. Its kinda annoying for me. I hope its not an intended behaviour. I count 3 press to see the tabs icon after clicking on the research bar. Anyway have a good day. Thanks in advance and happy new year! Quentin

I'm trying to follow these steps but I'm having trouble.

In Firefox open "More Tools" -> "Web Developer Tools" Switch to Network panel Choose "Persist Logs"

Go to the desired web page and perform the requests In the same place as step 3, choose "Save All As HAR" Save the file

Links won't respond to touch , scrolling up and down is fine , all other touch functions are fine , just links and tabs etc won't respond

Any help ? Wasn't like this before

When watching a YouTube video on Firefox while plugged into Android Auto and then unplugging the USB cable, Firefox becomes unresponsive. The video first pauses and if I try to play I get a spinning wheel. If I open a new tab and try to go to a website, I just get a gray screen. If I open recent apps and close Firefox and reopen, the issue persists. I cannot access any websites. If I open settings and select Quit Firefox, I'm stuck at Clearing Browsing Data... The only way to fix this is to open my phone settings and go to the Firefox app and clear cache.

To me this is a bug that needs to be fixed in the Firefox app.

Hello,

My automatic translation don't work. Firefox never offers to translate neither translate automatically. Additionally, when I manually ask to translate, I always need to select the drop down menu and select the language, it does not use my app language neither saves the last one. I use Firefox on my Windows laptop and it works normally, but on this Android phone it doesn't. May I ask your support, please?

Thank you.

Best regards, André M. Pereira

On Android, Samsung Galaxy S22, Links do not work when authenticating with Amazon for when you need to verify authenticity for a phone call. IT says OOPS page not found when it transfers the link from mobile Outlook email client to Firefox. However if I set browser to Chrome default, it has no issue.

Not sure how to explain this but in my settings on my phone a gardidio add pops up every time I go into my settings and no I don't want them to guard my phone I want to stop it they keep pushing me to get it 😠 😠

I am unable to send tabs from my desktop devices to Firefox on my Android device.

- All devices are logged into Firefox Sync. - Sending tabs from Android to desktop works fine. - Attempting to send a tab from desktop to Android, nothing happens. Have tried with multiple different tabs from multiple desktop devices, it never makes it to my Android device. - Synced tabs works fine. I can see the open tabs on all my devices from all my other devices, and it stays up to date. - Have tried logging out of sync and logging back in. Didn't fix the issue.

Desktop devices are running Firefox v146.0.1 on Windows Android device is running v146.0.1 on Android 16 (Pixel 8 Pro)

I heard that Firefox switched CEOs and the new one wants to implement AI. Please, do not do this. The only reason I switched to Firefox was because it was the one place I could disable the AI that pops up in every search! It's also not reliable, and rarely have I ever heard of it resulting in genuine financial gain. I don't think I've ever actually heard of it having genuine financial gain.

Many of us have AI and its features forced down our devices, apps and browsers without the option to opt-out or make a choice, and this makes them run slow and inefficiently becoming unreliable with the additional bloated memory and software.

Firefox claims they're always looking out to protect the privacy and data of their users, but with implementing AI we have the right to doubt this move and consider giving up on Firefox altogether for a more secure, browsing alternative.

Firefox used to be known as a browser you can trust in competition with others to bring an accessible and reliable browsing experience, listening to their customers feedback but as it turns out that'll no longer the case if the new CEO plans to clog it with unnecessary AI features.

I truly hope they see our feedback and pushback because this decision is not an upgrade but a disappointing downgrade.

It's absolutely bonkers that the only major browser that anti ai ppl use is caving to the dangerous fad of ai garbage. Not only is it putting user privacy and security on the line, it also gives up the biggest thing people choose Firefox over Chrome for. We don't want to be spied on to feed algorithms that funnel our data into greedy companies to make them bigger profits. We want a reliable, safe browser that doesn't sell our data to the highest bidder. Removing that edge is ridiculous and actively enrages the userbase; we will just jump ship and move to a better browser that doesn't use ai.

I use Mozilla specifically to avoid the AI slop Google is pushing. I am deeply disappointed with all the AI scam bloatware suddenly slowing down my devices and compromising the integrity of my devices.

The new CEO is rapidly squandering over 20 years of trust I had in this company.

Deeply disappointed
