एंड्रॉयड के लिए Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I have switched from Chrome to Firefox for Android. Generally the app works great, but I experienced a a very annoying problem: When I click on a link on my home screen, Firefox opens and shows the requested web page, but in most cases it shows the outdated version of the page, apparently from the cache. Of course I could update the page manually, but I am tired to do so again and again. Acivating the option "Clear cache when Firefox is closed" does not remove the problem as this is performed only when I cancel the Firefox task through the task manager. So I think it is understandable why the problem occurs, but I don't see a solution or a workaround. I didn't notice this problem with Chrome, so I think they must have found a solution. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Guys, the only issue I have is that Firefox for Android can't import/export bookmarks.html. I've tested a few others, especially one called Kiwi, and even Brave. I understand that they're Chromium based, but why can't the same functionality be built into Firefox? I think that the Sync function is too limiting. Other than that, I LOVE Firefox, have used it on PC for years and have always enjoyed the experience. It's just that I use my phone to do a great many things these days, rather than using my laptop, so the bookmark import/export feature would just make it perfect for me 😊. Also the ability to set a custom wallpaper would be nice. thanks for taking the time, have a lovely day and God bless you wherever you are... 👍

I using firefox for android, and due I can't afford new ones, the second-hand devices broken often.

Well, also I don't had "desktop computer" in terms of OS. Because, tough, Samsung S series devices used as desktop device, via DEX station. I had only one working device, usually, but now succeded to achieve a second one, before the working one was quit. There's an option, to pair with a QR code.

Why that function tied to OS? Which made sense, which function or feature made it "desktop only" accessible?

We are now in 2025, meanwhile all the devs are basically thinking, out there nothing was changed. The primary computing now heavily switched to android based devices, and just sounds sick, I still tied to an outdated technology, to get smooth workaround.

I am trying to switch to Firefox but I'm having a lot of trouble on my Android phone. I have the AdGuard app already installed on my phone and it seems to be the source of the problem. Every link I click on that opens in the browser is blocked when AdGuard is enabled. It's only if I disable AdGuard do the links open.

I have attached a couple screenshots of what I see when I can't open a link. I have no intention of disabling AdGuard just to use Firefox, as I don't have this issue with any other browser I have, including Brave and DuckDuckGo.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been running Tbird on my desktop for years, and it's still working great.

About 2 years ago I picked up a One Plus 11G which came with no e-mail client. I searched for Tbird and found K9 mail (with promises of Tbird soon), which I installed and used since then with no problems.

Few months ago, i got my wife a Samsung23+ and she used the supplied e-mail and messaging programs but constantly complained that she could have only one notification sound for both mails and texts and wanted to tell them apart. I told her I'd have to install a separate mail app so she could have two different sounds.

OK, I checked and finally found that Tbird was now available for Android so i installed it on her phone and she is very happy now.

Since it worked for her, I decided to install it on my phone to replace K9 Mail, and that's when the fun started.

It works great for incoming mails, but when I try to send mails via WiFi or via cell, I get a "Failed to send some messages sender refused" notification.

I got another phone and installed Tbird and it behaves the same way on that phone whether I set it up as POP (my usual setting) or IMAP.

I've installed other mail apps (GMAIL and Edison)and they send out with no problems both POP and IMAP.

If I go to the the Optonline web mail site via Firefox on my phone, I have no issues sending out mails, but that is a clunky way to do since Tbird normally worked so well as it is now or in iots earlier K9 version.

Any idea what is causing this problem only with Tbird? I really like Tbird and I don't like the other two apps.

I tried to export my Pocket links because they're shutting down. The export I received doesn't include any tags, which makes it pretty much useless. How do I get one with the tags, so I can import to a different tool?

Only on facebook.com- when I comment on anything, every time I enter any key the screen rolls down to the bottom of the page. I dont like using the app bc it takes up a lot of my battery. I even got a new device(s24) and this is still happening. Anyone experience this and know how I can make this stop?

Issue Description: I'm encountering a privacy tab setting issue with the Firefox app on my Android phone. When I close the Firefox app, all private tabs are automatically cleared and not retained. However, when I previously used Firefox on an iPhone (iOS 11), private tabs remained open after relaunching the app.

Specific Questions:

1.Is there a setting in the Android version of Firefox to retain private tabs after closing the app?

2.Is this behavior due to Android's restrictions or Firefox's default configuration?

3.If no direct setting exists, are there workarounds (e.g., extensions or specific versions) to achieve this?

My mobile phone is: Nothing Phone (3a) Pro Android 15

Any advice from users with similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Firefox search was not working for some thinfs like Yahoo or google so I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix it. Before that I tried clearing the cache and restarting my phone. When I reinstalled most of my bookmarks on the initial page have dissappeared. Is there a way to recover them or can someone on your end send me a list or something so I can bookmark them again manually? Please help ASAP?!

Hi! I was buying a book on a well known webshop. I used my Android Galaxy A25 and Firefox browser. When I was almost ready after IDentification on the payment webservice, also well known, I got a message that I was expected to choose a certificate. There were two to choose from: gak_ec_alias and gak_rsa_alias. How can I know that this is a serious safe action for me to do? I know certificates are used for encryption of communication or transactions, but this is the first time I've been asked to choose one! How shall I treat this? Is the web shop missing a certificate, or Is firefox missing a certificate? Is the certificate going to be used everywhere I surf, or just on the webshop where I bought the book, or on the payment webservice?

Greatful for answers! Janne

Hasten up account synchronisation in firefox mobile browser signing page. It's frustrating so much while trying to sign back in with account passwords always displaying wrong passwords

I can't access reddit.com on Firefox for Android. I have no problems accessing it on Firefox for PC or Mac. It was loading fine this mornig, but for the past couple hours, I've been getting "address not found." I have cleared my cache and all browsing data. I tried force stopping and restarting the app. I've tried restarting my phone. Nothing fixes the issue. Anyone know what the problem might be?
