Firefox maka Android Community Forum

I'm using Fennec Firefox on mobile and I'm having this problem where my the page refreshes on the slightest touch. I'd like to turn this gesture off all together. I have done some research and found this code: document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) {

   // Check for a swipe down gesture to prevent refresh action
   if (event.touches.length > 0) {
       // Prevent default action
       event.preventDefault();
   }

}, { passive: false });

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {

   // Prevent default action to avoid refresh
   event.preventDefault();

}, { passive: false }); I put it into a java script extension and it worked, but then I wasn't able to scroll up or down. I don't know anything about java or python, so if someone could give me a hint or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I am also looking through the source code of Firefox looking for answers.

On latest nightly, starting about 24 hours ago, when I type things into the search bar I randomly get taken to a piece of my browser history instead of searching for the term in question.

If I hit back and then enter it repeats the behavior. If I hit back and prepend a ? then it relays the entire line with the ? included to my search engine.

I think there is an issue with the auto complete because it is not indicating that it is actually completing but that seems to be what is happening.

Maybe this is also related to the cursor lag I have seen lately in the search bar. You can be typing and it will display letter out of order or seemingly so until it catches up. Basically the cursor doesn't move in the search bar like it used to. That's been going on for over a month.

​I am reporting two visual glitches (white bars) occurring in the Android version of Firefox. ​ 1. Numbered list itemWhite Bar Appear Numbered list items at the Top in Portrait Multi-Select Mode ​When the browser is in portrait mode and I enter the multi-select state (e.g., in the Bookmarks or Downloads management screens), a white bar appears briefly or persists at the top of the screen. This seems like a UI rendering error. ​ 2. White Bar Appears on the Left Side in Landscape Mode ​When the phone is in landscape mode, a persistent white bar/strip is visible on the far left side of the screen. This affects the full-screen display.

I lost them on my Mac book laptop days after activating synch on my android phone too. Luckily i found how to restore them, but the experience made me turning it off. The way how they are synched should be much clearer.

Hi team. I am using This app on a Xiaomi Pad-6. The issue that I am facing is that the stylus can write only In the field of Search bar where we input the web address. and everywhere else we need to Input via Keyboard. Please look into it. for example using a stylus i can write and enter the web address of google, but once the search page opens i can not write using stylus in the search option of that page. for that i need to use key board.

I like the feature of opening links in private tabs, but I would like to make some exceptions.

Some of the news papers / magazines I subscribe to do not provide native apps, they only offer web sites. I have their web sites saved to my home screen using "Add to Home screen". Because I have "Open links in a private tab" enabled, I have to log in every time, which is getting really annoying.

Things I have tried:

• Removing the site from my home screen and making sure the shortcut was created from a standard tab and not a private tab
• Searching the settings for a way to specify a list of exempted domains

Is there a way to accomplish this that is am missing?

when opening emails containing hyperlinks it goes to the website's page, asks for passwords etc but the page turns a faded gray and doesn't allow any actions on it including closing the page.. have to go to task bar and manually close page...when the page first comes up it states in the address bar that it is not secure...?

Hello

For some reason the formatting of search results using Google has changed recently for me, but it's fine in private mode. it is widened and shows less information. for reddit searches, it excludes comment count and date. I attached an image to showcase the difference compared to private mode which has the proper formatting.

thanks

Since updating to v144.0.1 (distributed via Google Play) on OnePlus 5 with stock Android 10 (OxygenOS 10.0.1) Firefox initially performs as expected, but after a few days displays the 'connection has timed out' message when trying to access any URL (after a delay of around 45 seconds).

Issue occurs regardless of device connection to WiFi / cellular, other apps on the device have no issues with connectivity in both cases. PCAPDroid captures show DNS requests to the Android system resolver 10.215.173.2 with responses as expected, but no HTTP/HTTPS connections.

The issue persists across force stop, device restart, and clearing but is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling until it recurs a few hours later. Issue also observed with beta build 145.0b7, but not yet seen using either Fennec 144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 or with Nightly 146.0a1 (Build #2016122871), 6488d90a06c0b99c9f7000b8c0763c4f44253912, GV: 146.0a1-20251028041839

When typing a long search string in a new tab (Google search) which goes out to the right I can't see what I'm typing. Scrolling to the right is extremely laggy and can take seconds for each word. Tried this with the Chrome search bar and the Android settings search, the issue doesn't happen there.

Since the last update the following error occurs: If I delete individual entries in the browser history, they don't stay deleted, hey are back after a while.

Is this a bug?

When searching on the mobile Firefox browser for a location or Services near me the Google Maps in the browser is unable to find my precise location despite having location settings enabled on my phone and in the Firefox browser. When I click the use precise location tool tip to get assistance in the browser, it only shows me how to solve this via Chrome browser. Is there some sort of setting I am missing or is this a consistent issue?

I live in New Zealand. I've recently come back here after a holiday in Europe. My phone is set to automatically pickup the correct time from my local phone provider and it's done that so I'm now UTC + 13.

My Fennec browser isn't reflecting that and still thinks it's in the UK.

144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 AS: 144.0.1 OS: Android 12

Is there a setting I can change? Or someway to flush that cached value?

Thanks.
