I love the feature of always opening tabs in a private window. One thing that was critical to my workflow was being able to convert a private tab to a regular one. In recent version I see that the button to do this is no longer where it used to be.

Does this functionality still exist and I'm just missing where it is now positioned?

Even though I've never changed my settings aside from the first time I changed them to my preferred settings, for whatever reason, Firefox no longer opens links I tap on in external apps. I changed the settings to do it that way the very first time and it worked fine up until a little while ago. Now, the only way it opens a link in the external app when I tap on it, is if I tap and hold, and then choose that option in the pop-up menu. As I said, in the settings it IS set to open links in external apps, but it doesn't do it anymore.

Hello there,

I am new to Firefox. I recently installed it on Android with the latest version (I believe it is 143) and while playing with the settings, I found the "Private Lock Tabs" feature. However, even after acknowledging it with my fingerprint, I can switch back and forth to normal browsing without it ever requesting my fingerprint again, and my private tabs remain visible and are never hidden. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and turning on/off the feature but it doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated!

I just I just updated to the latest version of Firefox for Android. When I tried to look for extensions, I got the error message: "This website requires a secure connection." That seems rather odd. I did this because my wife needs to register for access to the Social Security website using something called LOGIN.GOV. Quite a few government websites are using it when security is needed. But I got the same message when I tried to access LOGIN.GOV. We have a deadline for getting this done, so I guess we will have to follow the LOGIN.GOV people's suggestion and use Chrome.

By the way, I can't remember a website as confusing and incomplete as LOGIN.GOV. The Social Security website offers an alternative to LOGIN.GOV called ID.ME, I think that it started as a way for ex-military folks to get access to PX discount prices. When I signed up for it some time ago, I didn't think it was a model of clarity either.

I'm doing this post using Firefox for Windows, but the topic is Firefox for Android.

I cannot sign into humana.com using the correct credentials since the last Firefox for Android update!

I can log in using a different browser on my phone as well as on my computer, but every time I try to log in from Firefox for Android, I keep getting the error that the login information is incorrect.

And I even tried clearing the cache and that did not fix it. It is an issue with the update since I did not have it before.

There are several sites that do not display properly or have interface issues. These same sites work properly with Brave or Chronic.

One is insta card.co when trying to install a card to my phone. There is an overlay popup that should display instructions and links, but is blank on Firefox.

Another is the Google business site used to verify a business profile especially when taking a video to verify the business location. The video controls don't work; can't start video, zoom, or switch main to selfie camera.
