Firefox ho an'i Android Community Forum

Hello, I need the player's audio to keep playing while watching a video in the browser—essentially allowing two audio sources to run simultaneously. I have already configured all the necessary audio settings in both the player and the system.

How can I get the address bar to take me to the URL I typed instead of giving me search results for what I typed? How can I set it so the only way to search the web is to go to the website of a search engine?

When I open a new tab it's usually to perform a new search, so I want the keyboard to automatically be displayed. It seems that with os update 157 that I now have to touch the search bar for the keyboard to be displayed.

A simple option to enable or disable the keyboard in the settings menu like there is on touchscreen PC would be beneficial.

As witnessed by the various posts I've found, I know there are others who don't want the keyboard displayed. You can't have half of Firefox users constantly upset with you over a simple additional menu setting. Unless of course, that's too difficult for your developers to implement.

The attachment shows what appears when I opened a new tab. Note there is no keyboard.

For my open tabs , I was able to drag the open tab into a new spot, but recently I cannot switch them around. Is there a sett>ng that may have changed?? Or other reason?

Hi, I just bought a Motorola android, as my good old Tesco phone was getting very creaky. I loaded my home Wi-Fi, but cannot find a page to type in a url to install a search engine and other internet sites. I’d like Firefox, but Google insists on being the 'Gatekeeper', and I must go through it to install Firefox.

How to type in my urls without permitting Google, and getting its intrusive parenting offering me masses of things I don't want? I'm not an expert - just a survivor who has 'got around' glitches since computers arrived in the Seventies. On my phone I just want telephone calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plus, Firefox to search the Internet.

I am sick of the moronic, toddler-aged toy apps which come pre-loaded on my new phone. I gave up 'Play stores', (Woolworths), when I became adult sixty years ago! Now this phone offers me apps like: "Candy Crush, Sugar Delight". Oh Please! I realise that seven-year-olds and early teens are the target phone markets, (parents resignedly footing the bills), but I'm past it (in every sense).

However, I'm not daft enough to delete Google in a hissy fit. It is so labyrinthine that disabling it can be severely punished for such disobedience.

I'm sure the solution is simple to you. Please tell me how!

Thanks, Clive.

P.S. The phone is obviously monitoring my searches! Quite disconcerting, for in the past hour it now presents me with a list of search engines to choose - but Firefox is not among them. God preserve us oldies from AI!

Hello, I want to ask why my free VPN feature has been removed from settings? Initially it was available. I'm using 157.0 (Build #2016186458), 8eb25af4acf031ab1e06abf1a912275083c820ed GV: 157.0-20260924084938 AS: 157.0.1 OS: Android 10

Thank you in advance. Mihail

Hellos,

I updated Firefox version on Android to 157.0. I saw in the changelog that Firefox now uses the standard Android share screen instead of the custom one we had before.

The issue is that I cannot find the feature to send tabs to my other devices. Which is the one sharing option I often use when I tap on share.

I attached a screenshot of me trying to share a link/tab.

What am I missing here? how can I share with other devices om my Mozilla account?

Regards

How can I figure out why NYTimes videos don't with in my android browser?

I've tried resetting my browser and reinstalling Firefox and they still don't work.

I had the same issue on desktop but after the new update today, they now work.

I just installed firefox, but every time i leave a page, it stays open and a new tab opens. I google something, press back, and it opens a new tab while keeping the google with the question open. It leaves me with tabs i manually have to close I also don't want to use the automatic function, because i like keeping a few tabs open for myself, and also it wouldn't solve my problem. So the tabs staying open just causes a lot of tab-clutter Is there any setting or trick to it?

Hello, The password I have been using to sign in suddenly stop working. The 32 character code I carefully saved to reset my password also will not work.

I entered the code from the authenticator app and it was accepted,but instead of opening the 

window where I could enter a new password it sent me to the sign in page. I have been using Firefox for at least 20 years and have run into this problem before, I have also donated to Firefox a number of times over the years, and don't understand why these things keep occuring. Hayward Cowan

This BS problem just started happening in the past week. When I try & DL any pic of any file size or resolution takes several mins to actually DL, & more often than not, it won't ever finish DL'ing, & when I force FF to close, my cell will say that I cleared over a Gig of data from the RAM.🧐😳🤯😤🙄😒 I tried DL'ing the same exact pics on M$ Bing, & they DL instantaneously!🙄😒 WTF is the problem? & clearing all the cache, even cookies does nothing to change this, nor does closing out the app, & relaunching them, nor does rebooting my device.

I'm using an Android cellphone, Motorola Moto Power G 2025, Android version: 16, FF version: 156.0.1
