Firefox mpo na Android Community Forum

You changed the new tab behavior a few updates ago where new tabs don't get opened besides the current tab but rather at the very end of the tab list. And me having quite alot of tabs open forces me to scroll back quite along time to get back to my previous tab.

An option to revert to the old behavior would be neat.

Give us an option to turn off the group tabs it's been a headache for me I don't want this feature so just give me an option to turn it off please 👍 In fact an option to turn any future feature off would be fantastic adding an off option on every feature should be a default feature there's a lot of things I would turn off and I'm sure there's a lot of future features I would turn off so just add an off switch for everything in the future 👍

I have a suggestion for UX, UI in Android version. Like my attached pictures below, please put 3 buttons on the top (circled in red highlight) to the bottom to help us easy to click since then our thumb can't reach from the bottom to the top. Thank you.

When will "Firefox for Android" have grouped tabs?

NB: Grouped tabs add a better accessibility, arranged usage, speed, design & yet more...

Regards

Меня бесит всратое объединение вкладок и вывод неактивных вкладок в "архив". Раньше куда более слабые компы/планшеты открывали все 100500 вкладок браузера при запуске. Учитывая что мощность железа постоянно растёт видимо пора обвинять вас в говнокодинге...

Has anyone found possibly a fix in about config section to fix the bug where Firefox doesn't load titles correctly in tabs? Before it wasn't so bad when tablets didn't have tab bar. Now that tables do have this feature, it would be great to fix this long standing issue. Using Firefox can be an eyesore sometimes seeing this on almost half or more of my tabs.

Image as an example. It loads this way everytime on a link off ESPN. You can get it to display correctly if you refresh the page.

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.

Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?

Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks

In previous versions there was the option to "select all tabs" and then comfortably send these to whatever program on android i selected (i choose my messenger to share them with another person for example or sent them to a textprogram to export the tabs to a list) now the "select all tabs" option is no more and i have to select every tab ONE BY ONE which is a horrible experience if oyu have 100+ tabs open. i do not understand why the "select al ltabs" option has been removed (maybe due to the new UI style?) and kindly ask to restore the option to "SELECT ALL TABS", this would greatly improve useability, many thanks!

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

I had about 20 tabs in my "Inactive tabs" on Firefox mobile. Today I wanted to open one of them, but all gone. I can't even found them in "recently closed tabs". This is very upsetting because some of them was very important for me.

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

Earlier tab switcher in Firefox mobile had half screen height which was easily accessible by one hand but now it's on the top of screen which is harder to reach.

At least there should be an option to switch between the two or bring back the old tab switcher and make it go full screen if swiped up and half screen when swiped down.

This one is just killing me reach to the top of screen every time.

In Firefox Android, there's an option to automatically close tabs after one day, one week or one month.

I'd like to set it to 1 or 2 hours.

Is it possible? Maybe through about:config menu?

Thanks.

After a recent update, I've found the swipe to delete function extremely cumbersome to use. it used to be that i could quickly swipe a tab and it would reliably get deleted. now, it doesn't delete the tab unless I move my finger further than what's comfortable while gripping my phone one handed. I basically only use the x icon now since swiping is so inconsistent.

Using a mouse where before the user could swipe on the address bar to switch to adjacent tabs, now there's a tab strip which does not respond to a mouse (either scroll wheel or swiping, dragging just arranges the tab) and swiping on the address bar no longer works.

Now it looks like the desktop version but doesn't work like it.

Is there a setting to fix this or is it on the roadmap?

Is there any way to revert the new UI changes in Firefox for Android Mobile? The 3 dots are barely visible, the tabs in grid view are huge and take a lot of effort with thumb movement to scroll through. We now have a lot less visible pages.
