Hello, I have Firefox for Android 151.0.4 on a Samsung A50 with Android 9. On the SD card of the device I have several pdf files which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat with no problems. Instead, when I go to the device's file manager, move to that SD card, long-tap on one of those pdf files, tap on the three dots to see more options, choose "Open with" and finally select Firefox, I have that Firefox opens with a "File not found" page and the address bar shows, for instance "content://media/external/file/22098" while the pdf file I tried opening is "/SD Card/Test.pdf".

Is it possible to open local pdf files on my device with Firefox for Android? In the positive case, how can I do it in my case?

Thank you

Hello,

I've always used Firefox, and have had whichever Macbook and Android devices I've had synced for years. I recently got a newer phone, had an issue, returned it and got the same model. Since getting the new phone, Firefox not only takes hours to properly sync to be able to even see my Macbook's tabs, but I can't even send myself links from Macbook to my Android phone. Password and bookmark syncing is also spotty. I've tried signing out, made sure these are the only two devices on my account, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It's been this way through many updates for both my device and Firefox. I use both devices interchangeablely and it's critical enough to me that I may switch to a different browser. Any help would be appreciated.

When I click on links offered by the authors of YouTube channels, Firefox just refuses to resolve the links. I must open the link in another browser

0. Make sure Firefox is the default browser of your Android mobile phone. 1. Visit a YouTube video on YouTube.com 2. Click a link provided in the about-section for that video. 3. Link is sent to Firefox Expected outcome: that Ff opens the link Actual : it just stalls, probably due to a security measure taken by Firefox

Firefox keeps crashing. It was doing it even when I first got my phone, just not as much. I use Firefox on my laptop and like to be able to connect them both and the privacy or I would have gone to something else on the phone. Samsung A71 5g. I don't use 5g even thoygh the phone is capable of it. I don't trust 5g. I know the phone is old enough it doesn't get updates anymore, but I don't like the newer phones (no sd card being one of them).

Firefox advertizes a FIFA world cup widget in Firefox for Android. However, I am unable to find it anywhere. I have looked through all the settings, but there is nothing. When I search for "world cup" in the settings, there is a search result and I'm being redirected to the "Homepage" settings. But there is nothing. I'm quite annoyed that Firefox advertizes this feature in the Google play store, but it's nowhere to be found. Using version 152.0.1. Attaching to images. One where you can see that I get a search result, and a second picture from all the settings for the Homepage.

P.S.: this is the second time I have written this question. I was not able to find it after posting and assumed something went wrong. Sorry if it worked after all and there is some duplication.

I Have created a csv file containing all my passwords from lastpass but can't find anywhere in firefox to import them on a Chromebook. I have searched most articles and the only way seems to be to switch to the Linux version which I would prefer not doing. Any ideas would be useful.
