Firefox for Android Community Forum

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.

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.

As title, The tabs will suddenly no response somehow, whatever the network condition is good or bad, pull to refresh the page is useless at that moment, in android platform

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:

Firefox Version: 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687) OS: Android 15 Model: moto g stylus 5G - 2024 Extensions: uBlock Origin

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

Moderator note: This question has been edited to specify values in the "Firefox version" and "Operating system" fields based on the info above.

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.

Why do you have a leave feedback button in the app but it leads to the question section instead of leaving feedback options. Lastly, why is it so hard to make Firefox display in dark mode across every webpage?

Title: Please Add Native Background Play for YouTube, Facebook & All Video Platforms

Hi Firefox Android team,

One feature request that would make Firefox Android truly unbeatable:

Built-in Background Play — for all platforms.

Currently, to play YouTube or Facebook videos in the background, users have to manually switch to Desktop Mode, which is a frustrating and confusing workaround. Most users don't even know this trick exists.

Please make background play a native, one-tap feature that works automatically on any video platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — without requiring Desktop Mode or any workaround.

Brave is already competing for YouTube users. Firefox can win them all by being the only mobile browser that plays any video in the background, natively and effortlessly.

This single feature would bring thousands of users away from premium subscriptions. YouTube Premium's biggest selling point is background play. Firefox can offer that for free, for every platform, to every user.

That is a massive opportunity. Please take it.

Thank you for your time and for building a browser that still fights for the open web.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

Hi, Sometimes I would be browsing on Firefox, then I would need info from another app for instance, then when I get back to Firefox, the page always appears white (see attached). Consequently, I would not be able to see the notifications area and the info below the shortcut icons (see attached screenshot). I would not have this occur in the night mode. Thanks
