i love firefox. i tried Firefox, firefox developers, Firefox other forks. i have same problems with them:

1- i cannot copy link's text. it is easy for other browsers, but Firefox doesn't have.

2- when i use search engine i have probles (Google, yandex, bing etc). Imagine that I search for a topic successively on a search engine. Then, when I press the back button, it's like I've pressed back two/three times. Then, when I press the forward button, it's like I've clicked forward three times. (example: first your search 'real madrid football match', then 'real madrid team stats', then 'real madrid vs barcelona', then 'real madrid next match' and you click back button, and unfortunately you see 'real madrid football match' page)

3- i dont close my tabs. if don't use Firefox for a while (sometimes 30 minutes), when i come back, my last tab turn to start page. so, i have to click tabs symbol. after clicking tabs symbol my tab turn to normal and i can reach the website.

I installed the Firefox update this week on my Motorola Moto G Stylus phone running Android 11. Since doing so, the app repeatedly crashes when I click on something in Collections. Bookmarks not in a collection still work, as do other links on the home page. I have restarted the phone, but it did not fix the problem. It is hard to avoid the confusion that this is being caused by something in the update. Will there be a fix released soon?

I've been "sending" e-mail from my Android phone for six weeks now. It looks like it's going out, but it never gets outside the domain.

I found the suggestion that I check my SMTP settings, but I used a wizard within TB for Mac so I cannot find the SMTP settings on the phone.

The wizard wasn't very wizard: I don't have the contacts stored within TB or the mail from my computer or anything. All I can do is receive e-mail.

I really need to get this working. My computer has died, and everything is going via the phone, and I only use e-mail for communication, not voice or text. (Long story, please don't argue with me about that.)

I just updated Android again yesterday, and TB should be upgrading automatically, if I have this thing set right.

Update: I have found the SMTP settings. They look correct.

My sister's e-mail is working, so the problem is definitely with my settings somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to stick with TB.

Update 2: I found the debugging settings and turned on extra logging, but I can't find the logs themselves. Could someone point me to them?

I also tried the TB beta because it says explicitly that it does POP3, but that didn't seem to help either.

Now that I can edit my question, how do I delete the answers that are actually just updates?

Update 4: A different app works. I'd rather use TB if it can be arranged, though. . . .

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I am trying to change the Android search widget background to transparent.

android:background="@android:color/transparent">

I cannot find the location of the XML file in,

/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla

What is the widget file called? Is that correct path to find search widget files?

Today, using Firefox--or at least what i think is Firefox--i checed session history while logged into my mega.nz account. It lists 2 instances, one of which is for 3 days prior when I originally set up the Mega account using the Mega app, and the other is for yesterday when I entered the account using the FF browser--or, again, what i think is the FF browser. What's curious is that it shows i was using the Chrome browser, and that I'm apparently still using this browser as it's listed as the "Current" session. How can this be? While I have the Chrome app on my phone, I disabled it long ago and have never used it, and most certainly did not use it during the time and activities in question. I have long speculated that I have been hacked and that my phone is sometimes (always?) controlled by this hacker, though no solid proof. Assuming the hacker uses Chrome, could this be reflecting their using the Chrome browser, as opposed to the FF browser, which I'm currently using (or think im using)? In other words, is this the proof of a hack? Or is this a glitch within Mega, mistakingly listing Chrome as my browser?

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox (fresh install without extensions), which opens links from an external application (In my case Pepper for the discounts of online shopping) with an additional tab.

Preview in the attachment. Two cards open instead of one. The first tab is additional and empty, the second tab is a valid link.

Is there any way to disable this with the help of flags?

This does not happen in either Edge or Brave

If I try to add a bookmark to a folder, none of the folders I have created are listed. I am given the option to create a new folder to add it to; that works, but the new folder has exactly one bookmark in it and there does not seem to be a way to add any more.

Hello, Sometimes my browser is not reponsive when i open it. There is no apparent reason for why it does this. It doesn't load the last opened pages and does not load when i type a query. I have to reboot it several times sometimes before i can use the app again. This is not a major issue as i just use another browser in that case but you can consider this information as a datapoint for "potential bugs". This is exclusive to the app and not the browser.

Happy surfing :)

Hi everybody, I'm having this weird issue on Firefox for Android that appeared approximately when the last UI change (changing the three-dot-menu) appeared, but I wasn't able to pin it down to any specific point in time.

The issue is that when using the search (/address) bar and hitting enter, instead of the default behavior which is forwarding my search string to my default search engine, a more or less random URL (based on approx the first three letters of my search prompt and then some miraculous autofill) populates the search bar. I have to specifically select an autofill suggestion with the search symbol to avoid this, but autofill doesn't always show up, so opening a new tab is the only thing I can do then.

I'm unsure how to describe this, but I'll give an example: when typing "booker prize" and hitting enter, instead of searching for it, a more or less random website I never have knowingly used and that seems depreacated (https://bookerproxy-new.lot.com/service.php) is autofilled. I can turn off autofill completely in the settings, but then it won't do any autofill at all, including for websites I have bookmarked or visit frequently. So it seems that this autofill feature just is having a bug where it's overly aggressive, but I can't say why.

Also, the search bar has been really slow lately, so actually, 9/10 times, when typing "booker prize" (and the keyboard actually prove this), what reaches the search bar is only something like "bookr pe". This issue isn't present anywhere else on the device, neither in other Firefox text fields nor in other browsers' search bars.

So yeah, I don't know what to do but Firefox on Android has been only good for pulling up sites I've clicked on directly, either as shortcuts on the start menu or links from other apps.

If you have any idea how to fix this behaviour or at least how to trace it's origin I'd be grateful.

I am a big fan of firefox but i see some difference between firefox and chromium based browser that is Smoothness. All those scroll and swipe are beautifully smooth on Chromium based browser but in Firefox, it stutter and feeling visual lag. I know that Firefox is made by different engine but on IOS it's feels smooth but on Android it's sluggish. I hope you guys find a way to fix those problem.

Occasionally (it already happened three times today) when i'm browsing and switching between tabs, one tab will become an image of its contents (as in - no links work, can't scroll vertically or horizontally) and the others become grey. Trying to reload the pages or open new ones doesn't work, they never load. Turning the browser off by going to the phone's home menu and closing Firefox in the recent applications view doesn't solve the problem, it only closes any private tabs but the issue persists when opening any new tab or preexisting ones. The only way to fix the problem is by force stopping the app. I've cleared the cache, it didn't solve the problem, and reinstalling seemed to work for a few days but now the problem is back. For reference, my add-ons/extensions are: Ghostery, NoScript and UBlock Origin.

Dear Mozilla,

I cannot syncronise my phone with my laptop wich would be really useful for me. Thats one of the main reasons I prefer Mozilla as my primary browser. So far I had no problem with it on my other deviceis and so I hope this can be solved.

Thank you!

Why in Thunderbird desktop I can set checking for mail to every 1 minute but in Thunderbird Android I only have the option to fetch mail every 15 minutes?

This needs to be changed ASAP! I need to make replies to urgent emails quickly! I shouldn't have to wait 15 minutes for Thunderbird to check for new emails or for me to keep pressing check for new emails. Gmail and FairEmail get my new emails straight away!! Thunderbird Android takes ages

Please change and fetch new emails ASAP! I love Thunderbird and have used Thunderbird since it was first released! But Gmail and FairEmail I use because of this issue! Look at my screenshot! 15 minutes is a joke!!
