Firefox for Android Community Forum

I decided this morning, since I have gotten no help from Mozilla or anyone else, to uninstall the Firefox browser I had on my phone that was giving me the problem of opening then immediately closing itself. So I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone and went to the Play Store and installed a fresh version of Firefox for Android; version 142.0.1.

After the install, I immediately got a message on my phone screen saying that: "This app isn't compatible with the latest version of Android. Check for an update or contact the apps developer."

And this fresh install will open but closes itself immediately, as has been the issue all along since I first notified you.

The Play Store claims this app "is compatible with your phone, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)".

It also claims "the required OS is Android 5.0 and higher".

Note that I'm running Android v.14.

So, since there is no update indicated by the Play Store, I am now notifying the developer.

I am using Firefox Nightly 144.0a1 (Build #2016111007) on Andoird 14. In the Search Settings, the Show Trending Sugfestions option is ticked/selected by default and can not be unticked or disabled. And if I disable "Show Search Suggestions" option under "Suggestions from Search Engines", it will also disbles the feature of searching bookmarks and synced tabs from Address Bar (even though This option is seperate in the Search Settings under Address bar - Firefox Suggest).

So right now to search from Address Bar, I have to manditorily Turn ON Show Search Suggestions Option, which starts showing Trending Search Suggestions (which is very annoying and useless for me). Kindly fix this and provide options where user can Enable Search Suggestions for Local Bookmarks or Synced Tabs without forcing user to enable Trending Search Suggestions from Search Engines.

On a certain website, starting only after I installed the latest update,when I attempt to type into a text box nearly the entire screen disappears and goes white. Before, the screen did not change and I could watch the words I was typing appear in the text box. Now, I can see nothing. I'm typing, and when I minimize the keyboard (Gboard, same as I've always used) the screen goes back to normal, but while I'm typing there's nothing but white.

Occasionally/rarely, this does not happen and everything works as it did before I installed the update, but most of the time I get the white screen.

I did not update anything else nor do anything with the settings. I literally posted a message on that site, updated Firefox, then went back to the site and suddenly had the white screen problem.

I'm attaching two images. One is a screenshot of the discussion showing the text entry box and the other is a photo of what the screen looks like when I tap in the box to enter text. I cannot get an actual screenshot of the white screen because attempting to take one minimizes the keyboard and the problem only occurs when the keyboard is in use. I masked a lot of stuff on the images because it's a private and secure site. I'd be willing to share more information only with the Mozilla technical team.

I updated to version 142.0 on 26 August 2025 on my tablet running Android 10. When I went to my favorite website and tried to enter text into a text box in a discussion forum the screen went dead white behind my keyboard and brlow the URL bar. I couldn't see what I was typing nor anything of the website (which has a black background).

This is repeating on discussion forums but not in private messaging. As soon as I make my keyboard (Gboard, latest release) disappear the website comes back.

Definitely related to the update, as five minutes before I downloaded it everything was working perfectly. I cannot get a screenshot because as soon as I try, Gboard disappears and the website screen returns.

Any ideas?

(Also, is there a way to tell Mozilla directly rather than crowdsourcing a tech problem they created?)

I wana use fire fox to not allow for google and windows to have complete and utter control over the open web, so I wana use fire fox, one issue, I cant fully transfer all my accounts from google to fire fox, and when I sign in, and my phone tries to search for a password to use, it doesn't use Firefox password manager, so if there could be an update to add cleanly transferring passwords and bookmarks on mobile that would be amazing

Hey everyone

I had his problem for a while now and don't find a solution for the mobile version:

There are more and more websites that have 2-factor-authebtufication etc. With Firefox right now, when I start the login process and leave/minimize the app to go read my sms code / confirm my login attempt in another app (paypal, etc), and then go back to firefox, the login page has reloaded and often that means it left the confirmation screen and got back to the login page where I have to put my credentials in again. *endless circle*.

I read about it a bit and it might have different problems, I heard it can me a phone/bsttery optimization problem, but it almost certainely is the Firefox Settings, cause with Chrome it works fine! At rhis point, this happens so often that I needed to change my default browser, very sadly. Any suggestions?

Running Poco F6, HyperOs 2.0.2.0, Android 15, Firefox 138.04

I was playing quite well and managed to withdraw some plenty of money but right after the withdrawal, was unable to continue with ease and the browser sent me a message saying that my connection wasn't safe but I recalled that I had changed various settings in my firefox browser as well as the phone developer options, kindly assist me restore back to normal soon and protect my account from any malware and suggest how to stop any other parties from accessing my IP Address

For maybe a few weeks, I can't synchronise my account, I've tried to log out / log in multiple times but the "Synchronise now" button does nothing and the "Sync" one on the devices tabs just get stuck on "Synchronising..." but eventually does nothing. I can send a tab to Firefox desktop, but that's all. Both devices are logged on my account. I can't choose what to synchronise because it's greyed out.

Collections bookmarks on the Firefox for Android homepage. I have Firefox sync. I have many regular bookmarks. Collections bookmarks from Android or obviously not available or synced with my Firefox for desktop. Are they synced or backed up at all anywhere? I cannot find them other than inside Collections. If I uninstall Firefox on my Android, Google Pixel phone and reinstall it will everything in the homepage collections be lost?

So i enabled the browser.tabs.groups.enabled in the about:config (chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml) and reset fire fox and the tabs will still not group together nothing I'm on fire fox moble and android.

Hi! I'm currentley switching over to fire fox and I am trying to sync my bookmarks from my laptop to my mobile phone. When I click "connect another device" in the settings, I get the pop up telling me to find "sync and save data" I hit the three dots at the top right of the mobile app and don't get the option at all. Thanks.
