In Firefox Android, if I tap on the button to open a new tab, this new tab appears at the very end of the tab list.

As someone who has lots of browser tabs open most of the time I find this super annoying because if I research a topic further up in my list of tabs, then open a new tab to search for something related to this topic, I now have two sets of tabs related to the same topic that physically spread apart and navigating between these sets tabs becomes more frustrating the more unrelated tabs lie in between them.

I went through Firefox' settings menu, but couldn't find any settings to change this behavior. Is there perhaps some other way to open new tabs next to the one I am currently on?

I've added the search engine default for brave in Firefox which I've used for since the beginning but it won't show up as choice in my settings choice and I added in I type it in it says the string is wrong. It is not wrong it doesn't add in because your software browser Firefox isn't working correctly what is the problem.

Currently it says removed if I try to add it again yet it doesn't show up why?

Please fix your browser so it adds in easily it should I should be able to click it it shows up in my choices I make it my default and then it works fine it doesn't do that because you've added too much crap

Extremely frustrating

Am i the only one that finds these instructions totally hopeless when syncing my desktop to phone?.. So i tap on the 3 dots / Menu in Firefox on mobile, but after that there is NO Sync & Save Data to tap on anywhere in Firefox mobile after hitting the menu dots??.. and i mean ANYWHERE in the menu, or settings or account (of course there is the ususl Syncronise Now option in the account.

So just where is this Sync & Save Data i would lobe to know, nevermind how am i supposed to pair my devices when theres no clear way to access this and the associated QR code?

Totally frustrating, I've never understood these instructions with no outcome possible.

I’ve observed a consistent issue across several Android devices using Firefox (latest stable version). When trying to launch or interact with certain modded APK-based games—especially those with unpacked resources or modified DEX structures—Firefox either freezes or crashes unexpectedly.

Interestingly, this behavior doesn’t occur on other browsers like Chrome or Samsung Internet. In fact, some third-party websites seem to handle these APKs with stable performance, suggesting it's not an issue with the APKs themselves but possibly how Firefox handles local server callbacks, file-based intents, or memory allocation under WebView.

I’m wondering if this could be tied to Firefox’s stricter security sandboxing, CSP enforcement, or service worker management?

Are there any logs, flags, or debugging routes I can use to isolate the problem further?

Unless I'm mistaken, the Android Firefox app used to have group tabs and was replaced by Collections. Personally, I find it less user friendly and requires more clicks while ending up with a worse version of what Group Tabs accomplished. It essentially operates as a weird mix of Group Tabs and Bookmarks while being worse than both.

Cons of Collections:

  • There is no differentiation between tabs in a collection and not in a collection.
  • There is no quick swapping between tabs in a collection.
  • There is no option to Close all tabs in a collection but there is one to Open all tabs. This just looks messy.
  • Collections can only be opened from Homepage, not the Tabs screen.
  • Saving a collection requires long-press, select tab(s), tap Collection icon, then select a Collection. Group tabs requires longpress, select multiple, tap group icon OR drag and stack tabs.

Pros of Collections:

  • Neatly stored on Homepage instead of taking up a Tab slot on Tab page. (which could be fixed be programming group tabs ability to be stored on Homepage and re-opened with option).

All in all it is just a 5/10 feature in functionality. Even less so when taking into account that Android Firefox also has Bookmarks and Shortcuts. Please go back to drawing board on this one, it's really one feature I miss about Chrome (and what I thought Firefox used to have).

Hello Firefox worked fin on my Asus Zenphone 5, Android 9 until recently. Now it just crashes on startup. I have cleared cache and memory in Settings. Apps, Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I have over 2GB free space. Android 9 is the latest release from Asus and no other updates are available. DuckDuckGo, Edge and Chrome are all working fine. Should I revert to an earier version? I would prefer to keep on using Firefox if possible. Thanks Andrew

Why does my Firefox browser constantly deny access on my PC AND my smartphone to the web site newsmax.com? This is irritating. If I switch over to MS Edge or DuckgoDuck, I have no problem accessing this website. Is this something political? Should I change my web browser from Firefox that I have used for several years?

Please stop this irritating intervention.
