When i want to send a page from chrome or whatever to the firefox app, i use the andorid share button, click the firefox logo.

However in firefox this lands on a "search.app" site. If this site was functional, the data leak would be slightly acceptable, but currently that site https://search.app/ arrives on a "This site has exceeded its monthly quota for bandwidth. It must be upgraded via the Firebase console before it can begin serving traffic again."

Can i share the android data more directly to the bar and just use that link or let the search application that is active in firefox figure it out?

I've been noticing lately that when watching a video in landscape orientation fullscreen every now and then the screen rotates back to portrait orientation. Note that I do not touch the phone when this happens nor is there any bump or other even minor movement.

I also noticed that simply pausing and playing the video fixes this.

I have a short screen capture video but I can't attach videos to this.

There has been an odd issue with my audio while using YouTube on Firefox, random stuttering that wasn't there before.

I use JBL Tune 525BT headphones and I never had this problem before. I have tried:

  • Resetting my headphones
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox
  • Turning my headphones off and reconnecting them
  • Uninstalling some extensions

As well as resetting my phone, but nothing seemed to help with the stuttering. It isn't a problem with my internet, I have triple checked and it isn't a problem with my headphones either, as audio on apps such as:

  • YouTube music
  • Spotify
  • SoundCloud

Has no stutter.

There's also another thing: Whenever I enter YouTube, the 'Open in another app' pop-up appears, even though it never did that before.

I'm not sure what the issue is, as the problem randomly appeared and I'm not fully sure how to fix it and I've tried multiple times already. If anyone knows how to fix it or even what the problem is, their insights would be greatly appreciated! Much thanks.

Android - pages stop loading

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

  • The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
  • The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
  • Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
  • Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
  • Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

Sync Setup Stalls

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?
