Overtime android seems to balloon in storage size.

I tried deleting history and data inside the app, it lowered slightly then shot back up.


I does not always go up, seems i can go days or weeks wothout a noticeable increase, my guess it is happens whenever android is managing stored memory on apps, i recently restarted and it grew again.


I have tried remote debugging over usb on a mac and could not find anything taking up any amount of data that would account for this.


I dont really know what to do, i would like to avoid uninstalling the app and manually readding pw thing or gaving to save them to firefoxs cloud save. Eventually i will have to as phone storage is getting very low.


I mostly just watch YT on a regular tab, and browse the web in private tabs. I have ublock , no script, video backgroundplay fix as enabled addons, if any of that helps. None of them had a big memory footprint in remote debug.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Firefox Sync between my PC and Android phone.

Saved passwords (Firefox Logins) sync correctly when I first install Firefox on my Android device, but after that, new passwords added on my PC do not appear on my Android Firefox.

The only way I can get the new passwords to sync is by uninstalling Firefox on Android and reinstalling it. After reinstalling, the passwords appear again, but the issue returns afterward.

Details:

Firefox Desktop version: 156.0 (64-bit) Firefox Android version: Firefox 156.0 Android version: Android 15 Device model: Redmi A3

Steps to reproduce:

Add a new saved password on Firefox Desktop. Wait for Sync to complete. Tap "Sync now" on Firefox Android. Check Saved Logins. The new password does not appear.

I have already tried manually syncing and restarting Firefox, but the problem persists.

Could this be a Sync issue with Firefox for Android? Thank you.

(Android Firefox) Reader View issue - how to stop it from trying to download a page that was already downloaded.

Android 11 OnePlus 6T Firefox 156.0 Extensions: https everywhere, Privacy Badger, NoScript, uBlock Origin Tabs are set to never close.

I downloaded several chapters from an online book I was reading prior to an appointment. I put each chapter into Reader View. Then I turned off WiFi access. This was about 2 hours prior to the appointment. I left Firefox on the regular view page I had loaded the chapters from. When I tried to read all the chapters, Reader View immediately tried to download the page and failed and gave me an error about my Internet connection. "Back" didn't work, all the previous downloaded, static pages were gone.

I tested this at home. If you leave Firefox on a Reader View page and turn off WiFi access, the page is left as is. If you leave the page and return to it, the page is lost and needs to be downloaded again.

Is there a setting or something to prevent this ... behavior?

Thank you
