Hey all, so after reading all the warnings about Chrome these days, I decided to move away from it on Android (11) and chose Firefox. Unfortunately, I am quickly noticing a few things I can't do (or have yet to figure out), hoping these are quick fixes.

1. Download web pages/save a copy for offline viewing 2. Load/View MHTML pages 3. View website links launched from Google News - the page just loads with the following message and code This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. 4. Lastpass auto populate doesn't work on web pages, the auto populate prompt just flashes on screen but disappears too quickly to tap on 5. Language translation - can't find option to translate web pages in other languages to English

Appreciate any help with these as I'd love to stick with Firefox.

Many thanks!

Hello,

Because I have been holding on to an old iphone in order to avoid buying a new phone, I can't help you with everything, and not all of the information is completely true

1. I wasn't aware you could do this on any mobile browser

2. Firefox does not have mhtml support. mhtml is a file that saves all portions of a website in one website.

3. I believe Google news parses the xml file, meaning that it has its own way to read that

4. I have no clue for this one

5. Firefox does not provide a way to do this easily for multiple reasons, primarily privacy.
