I use an external torrent app LibreTorrent. When I click on magnet links, FF133 faithfully opens the external app handler. However when I tap the OK button FF very often ignores my tapping. I can hit several times with no effect. I can see a quick circle showing as I tap, so the tap is generating an event, but FF does not react to it. This happens in normal and private mode. Sometimes after a couple or perhaps a dozen or more taps, the OK event has an effect and the external app launches fine.

A very curiously I accidentally noticed that if I tap or swipe the text also showing on the dialog box before tapping OK, the first tap on OK always works! 100% reliable. Something is fishy with event handling.

Repro: FF133 + current LibreTorrent client, then tap of first magnet link at https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents

Google maps does not work even tho both the browser and gmaps site have location access and location is turned on . The problem is with firefox for android (stable version 133) . It has been like this for sometime i thought I'd just wait for it to fix itself but that's obviously not happening . Infinite loading or location not detected error . Have tried running with all protections and extension off . Do any of you have this issue ? Is there a way to fix it ? is the issue already acknowledged and worked on ?

'Open links in apps' inconsistent and having issues

I've been using Firefox for Android for a few years now, and for most of this duration I have set the 'Open links in apps' setting to 'Ask before opening'. Up until around 2 weeks ago this was working properly, however in the past 2 weeks it acts inconsistently and led to issues:

- when opening a new tab and navigating x.com (one example) as soon as I confirm the URL it will open the installed application without asking for confirmation to open the link in the app. If I then close the app and tab and re-enter the address, it seems I more often than not DO get the confirmation if I want to open the link in app or not.

- when visiting the same website through a Google search it DOES consistently ask for confirmation to open link in app or not.

- this affects every URL that links to an app installed on my phone (Reddit, banking apps, etc.)

- at times, if later at any point during the same session (haven't 'killed' the Firefox process/app or rebooted phone) I enter the same URL again (x.com) it again attempts to open the app without asking for confirmation, but fails to do so leading to Firefox just being a blank screen without any possible interaction.

- also in the past 2 weeks, I've had 3 instances where I was using an app in which I had to make a payment, which then opens the payment link in Firefox, from where I then select 'pay with banking app'. I the get the confirmation to open in app or not. I select open app, but it refuses to do so. The confirmation box disappears but the banking app does not start. Pressing the 'pay with app' button on the website again does nothing, it do not get the confirmation box again nor does the app start. I may have had this issue once in the past but it seemed to be related to the banking app at that moment, it now seems to be a more consistently occurring issue.

I have toggled the 'open links in apps' setting back to always on, off, then back to 'always ask' but this didn't fix the issue. Also cleared app cache.

It's a frustrating issue for my daily use, any suggestions and/or fixes would be much appreciated. If I can somehow share relevant logs I'll gladly do so.

Device: Sony Xperia 5 III Android version: 13 61.2.A.0.472A Firefox version: 133.0.2 (Build #2016060039), hg-209dcdd9680f+

I can't find a way to delete a mail folder using the Thunderbird Android mail client. I'm using IMAP to access my mail account, so I'm talking about server side folders, not local ones. I know I can delete them using the desktop version of Thunderbird - but for e.g. a friend of mine that uses mobile devices exclusively for her mails that is not an option. So am I missing something here? Is there any way to delete a folder within Thunderbird Android?

Thanks for your help!

Hi. Recently when I use Wikipedia search box and click a search suggestion it just closes and I return to the current page. If instead of clicking a suggestion I finish entering the search phrase and hit enter the search works fine.

It's reproducible with many Wikipedia languages including English and in regular Firefox and in nightly and even in incognito and with all add-ons disabled. Chrome has no such issue.

For example go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and click the magnifier icon at the top right, enter some word e.g. "Barn", wait for suggestions and click the first one.
