Firefox mpo na Android Community Forum

A site I use, bestcrosswords.com, has been acting weirdly since late on 11/18. Instead of the highlighting changing with the active word, the highlighting has gone completely haywire. I have already posted regarding that and filed a bug report (the problem does not occur in DuckDuckGo), but the site has started giving a suggestion I cannot follow.

Please see the image. I can see how the suggestion works on a desktop, but not a phone. Please forgive me if it's considered too obvious to document, but despite searching the phone's software and the Web for advice, I cannot find anyway to follow the site's suggestion.

Could someone clarify the point for me?

Thank you.

Randomly deleted everything. No new device added, no password change (wish is ridiculous y'all aren't sharp enough to create an encryption mechanism that doesn't delete on pass change), no device removed. Years of 1 desktop and 1 Android. How do I get it back from the servers? I don't care if it's encrypted. I just lost 10 yrs of bookmarks. Don't send me fluff or bs answers that tech noobs accept

Description of the Issue ​When I start a file download (especially a large file) in Firefox for Android and then use the Recent Apps/Overview screen to swipe the Firefox app away (closing the app), the download process is immediately cancelled and cannot be resumed. ​Expected Behavior ​An active, background download should continue running even if the user closes the main Firefox application window by swiping it away from the Recent Apps list, or it should at least become a resumable failed download. Many other Android apps (like Chrome, dedicated download managers, or media players) can maintain active background tasks even when swiped from recents. ​Steps to Reproduce ​Open Firefox for Android. ​Navigate to a website with a large file (e.g., a 200MB test file). ​Start the download and confirm it is active (visible in the notification panel). ​Press the Home button (or swipe up) to go to the main home screen. ​Open the Recent Apps / Overview screen. ​Swipe the Firefox app card away to close it completely. ​Check the Android notification panel and the Firefox Downloads history. ​Actual Result ​The active download is immediately and permanently cancelled. It must be started again from the beginning, leading to data waste and user frustration, especially on slow or unstable connections.

Hi Mozilla community. I wanted to pose this question based on years of d/l's of a specific community built game Unciv (on github).

The repo and experience are cleanly maintained by competent devs. Releases are provided for several platforms, including as an Android signed apk.

I tend to keep up with the latest release rather than waiting for a new version on Google Play. This implies download of the apk, install. Firefox puts significant scrutiny on this signed apk, downloaded from a generally safe site (github), from a repo with ~10k ⭐'s.

I feel Firefox could be a bit more coherent in its security compulsiveness (which is not unreasonable to have). Of the above, starting with the signed apk, this is a practical opportunity to have a checkbox for an allowance sidestepping excessive scrutiny in future downloads that fulfills the download phenotype. Because change is implicit, a failure on the phenotype check could trigger a notice with check, a shifted allowance in the phenotype identity, versus compounded.

diligence check: I posed the above to gpt 4 & 5.1, answer there is this can't happen without some work (for android), but has merit. Posing q.

Frequently when switching tabs or opening the app to start a new search, when I've typed in my URL or search, it just hangs on a gray or black screen. Eventually the page does start loading with the rainbow progress bar and the page loads.

I've turned off extensions, it doesn't seem to be that.

I was thinking use clear data to free up some space for my storage, so I sync with sync 0 min ago display. I log back in, everything disappear. Little stressed. Anyway to get back my data?

Other info: Before press sync, did display sync 3 min ago, after press sync, display sync 0 min ago

Account only use on Android, doesn't sync to other device

I am using an outdated Android FireFox Browser

120.1.1 (Build #2015990546), 287644eb76+ GV: 120.0.2-20231208211905 AS: 120.0.2

I think it was downloaded December 2023, never updated (for fear of losing tabs).... In Late November 2025 (recently), I opened a link in my FaceBook app (as usual, not the first time, at all), the link followed to the FireFox app and only that page appeared in my tabs- ALL OF MY TABS that were building and being saved for 2 years just suddenly vanished, and, quietly!!!!

I am using a tablet and I it has never been rooted.... I do have some knowledge in Windows data recovery, managing sessions through Windows/Android platforms through extensions, JSON files, and the Windows backup folders....

Can anyone help me, based on all info provided????

Last week my collections just disappeared from the home screen of Firefox. I used them as bookmark folders, so now it's quite inconvenient. Is it a bug or a new feature, how do I access my collection in Android?

Hello. Although I have configured the page translation settings, the pages are not automatically translated. It may be possible with the help of Please help me solve this problem.

Like most crossword sites, only the active word is supposed to be highlighted. Starting late on 11/19, the highlighting has gone haywire. I have attached an image.

Maybe it deselects when the focus shifts, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it shows which square is active, maybe it doesn't. Eventually, I back up a page and then return, which clears the highlighting but not the words.

I've tried actually quitting Firefox and restarting, but it didn't help.

Thank you for any help!
