Thanx in advance

When I pay with a credit card, Firefox asks me every time whether I want to update the expiration date. It doesn't matter how I respond; it will ask me the same question the next time. Furthermore, the saved expiration date is never actually used to help fill out the form.

This behavior is beyond annoying. On the desktop version, it will install the update before the browser opens. It should work exactly the same way on all versions. Please get this fixed. I am very tired of being in the middle of browsing a couple of web pages, then the browser decides to close and update without warning.

Every time I try to go full screen on firefox for the youtube site, it will quit the Firefox app, or turn into a black screen with a tiny bit in the corner, or go into the wrong orientation. After maybe the third to fifth try of full screening, it will finally work. I had this issue with the firefox app for all my phones (all Oppo, so unsure if this is device specific). Thank you for looking into it!

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

I’ve been using Firefox on Android to manage some of my medical billing work, and lately I’ve noticed the layout acting weird — toolbar icons seem out of place, and the tab switcher behaves differently than it used to. Not sure if it's due to a recent update or a setting I missed.

I use it daily to access tools and portals for https://ebillingworks.com/, so a stable browser layout is really important. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Is there a fix or is Firefox testing another UI update?

Hello, I realized today that when I want to search in Firefox mobile on Google something and want to add something, that it's impossible especially if your last search contained only one word. If it contains more as one it will erase the space and merge the words. I usually use opera on mobile so I never had this problem, but sometimes do I use also Firefox and now did I saw this problem. I attached a video to this post (it won't be there forever, but I will try to let it there for a while).

The video shows when you searched for "Jeans" and want to expand it to "Jeans red" the word Jeans is erased, just gone, no editing possible. The end of the video shows,when you have multiple words like "skinny jeans in red" and you want to edit it or add something, the "in red" gets merged to "inred".

There is some strange behavior happening. My active extensions:

1. Dark reader
2. Ublock Origin
3. Auto scroll to top/bottom

OOT: Btw: I dislike that you can't hold your finger here on a word to select it, I wanted to select my text to check my English through my translator. The editor doesn't allow Text selection by touch :( that is not nice. (Lol.... I could double tap the "oot" to select it and make it in caps,but now I can't do it again 🙃 very strange editor here!)

Is there a way to protect selected cookies from being cleared when you need to clear cookies to access a web site? I don't like to lose the sign in cookies from sites I visit often.

Trying to set up sync on my freshly reset Pixel 8a (on Android 16) and did reset as I was failing to log in in the first place.

Either password authentication or scanning QR takes me to the MFA prompt and end up with "Bad Request" "Something went wrong, please close this tab and try again"

Have tried numerous times!

Whilst viewing news stories in Google, I keep getting pages that do not load, so I go to settings – apps- Firefox, scroll down to memory and clear the cache. I go bag to Google new click the link and most of the time I am taken to the page and can read the article (but not every time). But the page not loading happens frequently and it is becoming a pain having to clear the cache over and over again. Is there a shortcut I can use to reach Firefox memory or is there a way of stopping Firefox to clear the cache as it is created.

This was the only way I could download Mozilla from F-Droid. Thanks heaps guys/gals. Google has been giving me hell ugh!

I also have the Google Play Store regular issue Firefox browser. Do you recommend I keep both as I'm definitely keeping this fennec issue?

I suspect I am PH#€%ed. Am I eligible for a miracle?

S10+ 139.0.4 NOT set up to sync | see attached for specs

In the bookmarks toolbar, I have many folders. I had one named Reference and one named Research. A few weeks ago after a big update my bookmarks had somehow nested multiple copies nested weirdly.

I messaged for help through the Garg app store, and a developer said to please file a ticket with support. I MEANT to do it, but time got away, and I'd already cut the sync and done a lot of cleanup.

I'd removed this phone from sync (no SIM, no cellular connection for the last year, but I use it on Wifi—I carry it around a lot for note-taking when I get brain dumps from people).

I discovered two Reference folders— one in the Toolbar and one in Bookmarks. I moved the one in Bookmarks to the Toolbar, and then moved everything in it into the other Reference folder, which had more, figuring I'd go through and delete the dupes at some point.

I then deleted the empty Reference folder and got the question, "Are you sure you want to delete the selected items [you IDtenT]?"

I confidently clicked yes, not realising my stupid fat finger had clicked on the RESEARCH folder to delete.

I may be able to find some of it to sync or sneaker net from elsewhere but there were swathes of unique addresses in that damn folder. I tried to search bookmarks for the folder and then for any folder. I tried to search "Internal Storage" for any whisper, and Apps which I hardly have any read access to in the file tree without success.

I read the readme called Manage Bookmark Folders in Firefox, plus a couple of hours of additional readme reading and flailing... but I cannot find the answer to a short list of pertinent questions.

1. How does one search/find a bookmark FOLDER, a regular one, which some ahole hasn't deleted?

2. Don't the help articles mention an UNDO option when deleting individual tabs and bookmarks? Sorry, bit of a swivet, but is there an undo for folders? I found no such offering mentioned when deleting an entire folder. I'm assuming no, but... (this might be a good place to mention (while I'm headbanging my desk) that some *other* browsers contain a numeric in their deletion warning, rather than a ubiquitous "these items", whether it's an empty folder or full), hope will spring. Biat£#.

3. Third and final— is there any way for someone without access to costly forensic software to recover this data?

A lifetime of backup, backup, redundant backups is mocking me, so please don't laugh at my self-induced misery. If there's no remedy, give it to me straight.

TIA, Alex

Can't install yandex.ru mailbox to Firefox for Android. Using generated stecial application password did not get s result anyway

When using the UBLOCK ORIGIN extension i cant Join the app. i need to turn it off, then I can join the Firefox nightly. I need help because I use this extension so much.

For the last 2ish months, Firefox will refresh the page if I just place my finger on the screen.

If I put my finger on the screen (not swiping down) the refresh wheel will pop up and refresh the page.

It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once or twice a day, but it happens on every page and causes me to lose stuff like where I was on a page and what I was typing. It doesn't do it when the keyboard is up.

Any suggestion as to what's wrong with it?
