I would like to ask why you still have to enforce the ADguard ban after you have withdrawn from the China branch. Your competitor, the Edge, can be used for advertising. Why is the ban still not lifted?

Scrolling pages doesn't work as it used to do, changed in Fx 148

Very recently upgraded Firefox for Android from 147.0.4 to 148.0.1; I knew a bit about upcoming changes of menu system (but we also got fancy rounded corners ...).

But this is in part utter rubbish.

I know it has been possible to move the address field from top to bottom, and that that might work better with the new menu, but even if closer to fingers holding the phone it will anyhow be so low and in a corner that you can't reach it without risk dropping the mobile. And this, the new menu, isn't even my main issue. With the menu at the top, and the old menu system, you at least continued to work in the same area, once you had opened the menu.

The amount of "clicks" is pretty much the same, though; 2 for bookmarks (if you don't simply type part of the address), pretty much the same for add-ons (several use white-listing for scripts, such as NoScript, and often have to adjust these, so those settings are quite frequently used).

But, the main issue is something related to "gestures", swiping down a web page seems to invoke some add-on setting, in my case NoScript. That is, strict vertical swipes works most of the time as before (and "most of" is pretty much a disaster), if I swipe slightly diagonal (exaggerated in image), I get an icon for NoScript (scripts not enabled for page in example), and the further I swipe the bigger the icon. It goes away if I lift finger, but if I move into the icon, it can invoke NoScript's settings.

Is this the intended behaviour? And above all, scrolling down should work 100 % of the time.

Nordpass Firefox for Android addon still missing

Hi,

I am trying to make the jump away from Chrome to Firefox across all the platforms I use. I am a long term user of NordPass for password management and I love the Firefox/Nordpass extension in Windows 11. Firefox for Android, while not as slick as Edge or Chrome on this platform, I have been recently using it as my default browser. However, I could not find the Nordpass extension for Firfox Android.

A quick search took me here: Cannot find Nordpass to download as addon it was asked 3 years ago with "This add-on is currently unavailable in Firefox for Android but may be included in a future update."

Are there plans yet to implement a NordPass extension for the Android platform?

Thanks

Very difficult browser to use on Android Note 20. I'm on my third day of trying to block Facebook ads on my Note20 Android phone using Firefox browser and UBlock extension. So far, no matter the UBlock settings, the Facebook page icons are grayed out rectangles and I cannot distinguish what is going on.

Would I be notified if an extension update expands its permission scope?

It's possible that I misread the documentation, but I looked for a response to this question for 20 minutes, and I couldn't find a 100% clear answer about my question when it comes to Firefox for Android.

Say I install an extension on Firefox for Android, that requires permission just for a specific website (e.g. let's say, for example, it's an add-on for blocking automated translations on youtube, with permission scope restricted to youtube only). Later, the extension automatically updates itself (as apparently, it's not possible to disable automated updates for extensions on Firefox for Android). The update now includes a larger permission scope, for example permissions for some other websites, or even the permission to "Access your data for all websites".

My questions are:

Is this scenario possible? If so, will I be notified of the changes in permission scope? Would I be able to block the update in this case?

Thank you.

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.
