Firefox 안드로이드 도움말 포럼

Good afternoon, the complaint I have is when I make Firefox my default browser it doesn't stay and I've to continually change it back so when I clicking on a link instead of going to Firefox like I want it too it instead goes to my Samsung internet browser. Can I get some assistance so that I can understand why it doesn't stay?? Have a good day, and thanks for reading my email. -ChristinaJ.

I am using an updated version of Firefox on Android. (118.1.1) I was trying to use the "add to home screen" function for a website but i can't find it in the menu. Did it disappear? The install function worked in a way to make an icon for a website on the home screen, but it only gives it a generic name.

Having an issue where if i try to download a file, if the name is the same as another file on device, it just automatically overwrites it without asking to rename or save in another location. This becomes a problem when a lot of people just name their files 1,2,3 etc. And I end up losing something important.

Is there any way to either stop the overwrite happening, or to be asked to name a file when downloading, I notice there are no download/save menus in the settings, and the advice online of going to about:config just takes me to a broken blank page.

Any help?

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.

And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

I was using the camera so that I could virtually try on a product. For the longest time the camera listing stayed on for quite awhile. I'm wondering if this is a typical thing or is this a glitch

When a message box appears in portrait mode, it is centered off the screen as if it isn't scale properly. As a result, you cannot click "accept" or "cancel" without rotating the device to be in landscape mode.

A screenshot is attached showing the bug.

Hi,

I'm looking for a trick to prevent Firefox mobile to force screen orientation to landscape mode when playing a video in fullscreen mode.

This is an old complaint (see this 2018 bug) but at the time there was a key in about:config to change the behavior ("media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation").

Since "media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation" is now useless (according to this bug) I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance if you have any.

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.

This is driving me insane. On mobile data (3,4,5g) Firefox will not open any websites, it just sits with a white page until eventually I get "connection reset". Every other browser on the device works fine though, and Firefox can access sites when on WiFi.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the main app *and* installed focus,beta and nightly versions,all have the same problems. Permissions on mobile data are allowed.

I cannot even get a sensible log or network trace out of the browser as there are no Dev tools.

It sometimes feels like Mozilla are trying their absolute hardest to lose users, I even had had the old "browser uses 12gb of memory for two tabs" problem on desktop the other week.

Specs: Android 13 Pixel 5 with latest version of Firefox installed.

Issue: This problem has existed for months for me.

audio stutters or more so swiftly cuts in and out.

Sometimes the video itself stutters/lags.

Taping the full screen icon puts the app in the background. Upon reopening it, the entire app looks like it's hanging off the side of the screen.

Example attached.

I watch a YouTube video in full screen mode. I turn the phone sideways to fill the screen. When I turn the phone back up right I get a consistent problem. I see half of the full screen. I see the left side of the screen and I can't scroll over to the right side of the screen to change tabs. So I'm stuck. I have updated and reinstalled Firefox several times. Imagine your screen shows half of a full screen. It's always the left half. If I turn my phone back horizontal then I see everything. But when I turn my phone back up right it doesn't leave full screen mode. Instead it shows me half of full screen mode. Thanks for your assistance.

I love to watch highlights of cricket ICC World Cup from icc-cricket official website but after full screen the screen goes completely black , only sound is audible though.

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.
