Firefox maka Android Community Forum

Firefox cannot open any links within apps on Android. Whenever a link is tapped within a native Android app, nothing happens. When links are tapped within Firefox itself, they open immediately.

For example, Google headlines do not open when tapped directly in the app. View in Google App is disabled. No link appears in Firefox.

Other social apps have similar issues where tapping a link inside a reply shows no response.

I want to sync open tabs from one Android device to another. I've tried linking both to my Mozilla account, but the account will only recognise one or the other, not both at the same time. So how do I get the tabs from one device to the other?

I've been trying to listen to Spotify on Firefox Mobile but it keeps telling me there's an issue, so I went to solve it. I allowed DRM Content because that's what it said the problem was, but now it's saying that I need to enable the "Widevine Plugin".

I've tried searching and following directions for it but I cannot find it at all and I still don't know how to enable it. I can listen to spotify just fine on an incognito tab but I don't want to keep signing in every time I close the tab since that's just annoying.

I have a Motorola E phone, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Please help because I literally just want to listen to music on my way to work.

When I 1st open Firefox w my android cell, the "Jump Back In" appears & as I'm about to click it, icons above it populate (See attached pic), pushing "Jump Back In" down & making me click on some other icon. I've learned to wait a few seconds before clicking my "Jump Back In" selection, which is what I do 99% of the time. You should always populate the placeholders for those icons, or anything that will shift things down, to avoid this.

I posted to the play store and was asked to post this here. I hope this is where they wanted me to post. The link provided was the support home page. I have added details, that I had no room to include in google play review.

Something has changed recently with the way firefox manages sites accessed by customized links in emails. previously the links would give me access to articles where i have an account. now the sites log me out (gmail when adding an account, mondaq when accessing an article) and tell me to register/login, even though i am registered and the link had an embedded password, or I was already logged in. this is not happening in ghostery. it happens even when site cookies accepted are all accepted.  It happens in Firefox for windows (11) as well as Firefox for Android. For the Mondaq website I can no longer read any articles that are in the emails that are sent to me.  Within 10 seconds of the article loading the page refreshes and asks me to sign in. This only started happening recently. Previously I could leave articles open in firefox tabs for months, and still access them.  Now I can't even read past the first few lines, and all the ones I had saved are lost.  As for gmail.  I have pinned tabs for my email & calendar.  When i "add account' it's supposed to open the additional account in a new tab, which it does.  But it also resets the pinned tab to the new account. I'm going around in circles trying to have two gmail accounts open at the same time.  In addition when i have a google sheets open in a tab, rather than staying open between sessions (all google sites are in my exceptions for cookie clearing) it requires me to log in again if I've not accessed the sheet again within a few hours.  That's even though I'm still logged into the gmail account that is linked to the google drive account that has the sheet.   I'm now on windows 11.  i don't know if these issues are related to that or to rececent changes/updates (lots) by firefox.

I currently use Firefox android on my Samsung S25 and I'm unable to play any videos on healthygamer.gg . It still works fine on my S21. On one drive links, I am able to see video but unable to hear audio (the video was not muted, i checked). Both of these issues do not exist on the brave browser I am currently using on my S25. I have already allowed autoplay for videos and allowed drm-controlled content.

On the most recent update (7/14/2025), my basic Firefox settings were apparently wiped without any notice. To be clear, other things like my bookmarks were not lost, and my extensions were still installed at least. I previously had Firefox setup to not show me any content when I start it, just a blank page. I also had history saving disabled by default (ie privacy mode). After the update, you started showing me a page that wasn't blank and instead had suggestions on it. Also, the history was being saved from that point on. If I wasn't somewhat tech savvy, I might not have noticed the second change, as there was no warning from Firefox that my settings would be reverted with the update. I eventually figured out how to restore the behavior I had previously with this new version, but it took quite a bit more fiddling than previously to get history saving to be disabled by default when starting Firefox. I do appreciate the addition of fingerprint auth to switch to the app now as an option, but over all this seems like a predatory thing to do to users. I was asked to post here by a developer response to my review on Google Play in which I reported these issues (though much more briefly due to the character limit). I do understand that major updates/changes can require resetting configuration. However, those kinds of updates should display a warning/notice of such a change. I did look for such a notice on the "What's new" content for the update, which isn't something most people would likely even look at, but even there I did not see any indication that past settings would be lost/wiped.

A lot of websites now all for a passkey to log in, and some tell me that this browser doesn't support passkeys. Is there a way of adding this functionality to Firefox for Android?

Thanks

I'm using collections in my home page. Great feature, except it's SO EASY to delete something by mistake! There's no Undo, no way to restore what was deleted... It there a way to add more friction for deleting something from there? (An Undo button would also be great but I guess that's more a feature request)
