Firefox ho an'i Android Community Forum

It appears there are a number of similar issues on this forum but they have all been archived so I cannot add to them.

With some websites Firefox seems to work fine. Other websites in the middle of an otherwise functional browsing session will completely fail to load, with or without a frozen loading bar. This happens on an android tablet and phone, mostly for the same websites. Sometimes I can come back to the tab a few minutes later, refresh or tap the URL bar and hit enter and it'll work. Sometimes I can copy the URL to a new tab where it will load normally. Sometimes neither method works, in which case rebooting the phone fails to fix it as well!!

On the tablet the reload button is visible on the menu bar, I found I can press and hold it which appears to do a different kind of refresh than just pressing it - I imagine akin to ctrl-f5 on Windows. This will sometimes work, but often not until a minute or two has elapsed.

I'm on Firefox 131 and has persisted for months so if it's something that should have been fixed in updates, it definitely doesn't apply to what I'm experiencing.

Please help! I am tired of having my browsing experience interrupted for multiple minutes or worse.

When I imported a config file exported from K-9 into Thunderbird for Android only the Outbox folder was shown. After exploring some options in the gear menu (thus consuming a little time) the folder list still hadn't populated. I set the phone aside for a time and came back to it. The folders had been populated. I suspect that it may have waited the Folder Poll Frequency time period (15 minutes in this case) but I don't know this for a fact. Initial setup should retrieve the folder names immediately. This will provide feedback that the setup/import was successful.

What is the Visible Message Actions configuration for? I checked Spam (Delete was already checked) thinking it might make a Spam icon visible when messages are marked in the message list or when a message is being viewed, but I didn't see anything at all that seemed to have appeared as a result of checking that item.

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!

When I mark messages for deletion or other operations they are highlighted using a shade of gray which is almost indiscernible from the other gray shades used for messages in the message list. How can I change the highlight color? In K-9 it's pink and it stands out clearly.

Good afternoon, I have a problem since I bought a new phone, a Samsung S24. I link the account on the phone but when 1 day passes the tabs I have on the mobile do not appear where it says Synchronised Tabs on the fixed computer. From the mobile I can see all the tabs I have open on the computer. Also if from the mobile I give it to send to the computer it sends it to me, but if I give it from the computer to send tab to the mobile device it does not do it to me. In account, connected services I see the mobile device. I have uninstalled the application but still no solution, to see what I can do to solve this.

I found an archived question from last year and from it looks like, the situation has not been resolved. Autofill has not worked for a really long time now. It works fine on my PC but not at all on my Firefox Android app. Is this just something that will not come back? It's frustrating to say the least.
