Google has falsely flagged my own website. I need to disable Safe Browsing just to access it, so I set browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to false, but Firefox Android keeps reverting it to true on every restart. I really dislike this overbearing behavior. Does anyone know how to disable it permanently?

I can't get into Google Play to access the app, unless I want to do facial recognition or other stuff. I can't see Fennec on the Mozilla website. I just want to start using it as soon as possible. Currently on Brave and now I understand Chrome controls that.

Thank you.

Be nice and be specific. Our volunteers are Mozilla users just like you who give their own time to help. Telling us “YouTube videos are always choppy” is much more helpful than “something is broken”.

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

UI shifts slightly downward when tapping the private browsing icon in Firefox for Android on Nothing Phone (1).

I found a UI bug in Firefox for Android on Nothing Phone (1).

Device: Nothing Phone (1) Android version: 15 Firefox version: 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687), 094f3362dcbc efdce34f05b355607cdce06a4ef4 GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024 AS: 150.0.1

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox on Android. 2. Tap the private browsing icon/tab switcher. 3. Observe the screen layout.

Expected result: The UI should remain stable without moving.

Actual result: The whole interface slightly shifts downward after pressing the private browsing icon.

The issue is visible in the attached screenshots.

Whenever you go from regular tabs to your private ones, or private to regular tabs, the top and bottom margins both grow by about the width of the URL bar. Rotating the phone sideways actually makes it worse, adding bars on the side in addition to the top and bottom ones. The bottom bar will go above the keyboard when you're typing, and so far the only way to get rid of it is restarting the app. It's been affecting me for about a month now; I've attached some examples of how it looks before and after below, and here's some more info about my phone:

I am experiencing an issue where my saved Collections are not appearing on the Firefox Homepage (New Tab page), even though they clearly exist in the system.

The Issue: When I attempt to add a page to a collection, the "Select collection" overlay correctly shows my existing categories: Read Later, News, and Gemini.

The Discrepancy: When I return to the Firefox Homepage, the Collections section is completely missing. Only "Shortcuts" are visible.

Troubleshooting done: I have verified that I have active tabs saved within these collections (as seen in the attached screenshots), but the homepage remains empty below the shortcuts.

Device Specifications:

  • Firefox Version: 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687)
  • Build ID: 094f3362dcbcefdce34f05b355607cdce06a4ef4
  • GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024
  • AS: 150.0.1
  • OS: Android 16

When going to immich public proxy (as an example) from a link from another app, the Set-Cookie header is set but when performing the window.reload the cookies are not sent within the request.

See code : https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy/blob/main/app/views/password.ejs#L49-L69

Reproduction steps : - have a link inside an app - click link - on site perform a request that returns a Set-Cookie header with sameSite=strict - perform a window.reload - check that cookie isn't sent

The same steps where performed on different browsers (Samsung Browser, Firefox on windows) but all of them sent the cookies allowing the authentication.

Is the behavior wanted ? From ietf it seems that is not a normal behavior : https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site-00#section-2.1

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ tablet, UTD OS, using Firefox 150.0.1. The 'use desktop setting' is on, but most pages don't render in the desktop and are so skewed, they're impossible to view. I've turned the setting off and it makes zero difference. I understand Firefox was changed to always render in desktop mode on tablets sometime last year, but it's not working and I'm at a loss. I don't want to switch to a different browser, but I've tried everything I can think of at this point. If anyone has a suggestion or fix short of switching, I'm all ears. Thank you.

So I moved from my old Galaxy S21 Ultra into a new Xiaomi 17 ultra.

Installed Firefox and logged in with the qr code thing on my main computer.

Firefox on the phone says it's synced but the list of passwords is empty. Not a single password in the list. Lots of passwords on the main computer.

This worked just fine on the old S21 Ultra.

Any ideas?

This is a completely fresh install on a new phone so not to be ungrateful, the typical good advice about clearing cache and reinstalling is just not relevant here.
