Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox za Android

Hello Mozilla Support,

I am using Firefox on Android 6.0.1 (OPPO A57). I enabled the “external download manager” option in Firefox settings because I want to use 1DM (One Download Manager) to handle all file downloads.

However, when I tap on a download link in Firefox, it still uses the built-in downloader and does not give me the option to open 1DM or any external app.

Is there a way to force Firefox to launch 1DM (or any external download manager) when clicking on download links? Please guide me. If not possible, is there a version or workaround that supports this on Android 6?

Thank you!

I watch Youtube on the Firefox browser for android on desktop mode on my Samsung Galaxy tab A9+, usually in private. Lately Youtube puts me in a playlist when i click on music. This only happens when I watch music videos it's not an issue on any other type of video so far. It doesn't do it when I am logged into YouTube, private browsing or not.

70% of the time I try downloading something it goes one of three ways, either it completes the download and somehow the file isn't downloaded or shows in my recents. The second way is that it stops mid download and deletes the file. Or the third way which downloads part of the file (or most of it) and just stops the download, keeping the part file and I have to re-download it from the beginning. I waste my data constantly because of these issues, especially being as I don't have wifi where I am located, its important I don't waste my data, time, effort, money, and battery life for nothing in return.

Android: All of a sudden, in the last few new bookmarks can't be found in bookmarks listing of folders. Where are these bookmarks being stored and how do I access them? Thanks Dan

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

When I pay with a credit card, Firefox asks me every time whether I want to update the expiration date. It doesn't matter how I respond; it will ask me the same question the next time. Furthermore, the saved expiration date is never actually used to help fill out the form.

This behavior is beyond annoying. On the desktop version, it will install the update before the browser opens. It should work exactly the same way on all versions. Please get this fixed. I am very tired of being in the middle of browsing a couple of web pages, then the browser decides to close and update without warning.

Every time I try to go full screen on firefox for the youtube site, it will quit the Firefox app, or turn into a black screen with a tiny bit in the corner, or go into the wrong orientation. After maybe the third to fifth try of full screening, it will finally work. I had this issue with the firefox app for all my phones (all Oppo, so unsure if this is device specific). Thank you for looking into it!

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

I’ve been using Firefox on Android to manage some of my medical billing work, and lately I’ve noticed the layout acting weird — toolbar icons seem out of place, and the tab switcher behaves differently than it used to. Not sure if it's due to a recent update or a setting I missed.

I use it daily to access tools and portals for https://ebillingworks.com/, so a stable browser layout is really important. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Is there a fix or is Firefox testing another UI update?

Hello, I realized today that when I want to search in Firefox mobile on Google something and want to add something, that it's impossible especially if your last search contained only one word. If it contains more as one it will erase the space and merge the words. I usually use opera on mobile so I never had this problem, but sometimes do I use also Firefox and now did I saw this problem. I attached a video to this post (it won't be there forever, but I will try to let it there for a while).

The video shows when you searched for "Jeans" and want to expand it to "Jeans red" the word Jeans is erased, just gone, no editing possible. The end of the video shows,when you have multiple words like "skinny jeans in red" and you want to edit it or add something, the "in red" gets merged to "inred".

There is some strange behavior happening. My active extensions:

1. Dark reader
2. Ublock Origin
3. Auto scroll to top/bottom

Video: Google drive link with video

OOT: Btw: I dislike that you can't hold your finger here on a word to select it, I wanted to select my text to check my English through my translator. The editor doesn't allow Text selection by touch :( that is not nice. (Lol.... I could double tap the "oot" to select it and make it in caps,but now I can't do it again 🙃 very strange editor here!)
