I'm using Firefox Mobile Beta on Android (org.mozilla.firefox_beta). A recent upgrade (to version 134 beta) has introduced a UI change so that there are now two different “bars”: the address (URL) bar that was already present, and a new bar (which I highlighted in purple in the attached screenshot) that contains the “back” and “forward” buttons (that used to be part of the three dots menu) as well as a “new tab” button and the three dots menu button that used to be on the address bar. Not knowing how to call it, I'll refer to this new bar as the “new toolbar”.

The settings (in “Customize” → “Address bar location”) provide a way to move the address bar either to the top (as in my screenshot) or to the bottom of the screen (I think bottom is the default).

Alas, this setting does not apply to the new toolbar. It remains stuck at the bottom. I have been unable to find a way to move it to the top. Googling for help returns nothing useful as the UI change is recent.

I find this UI to be disastrous to the point of being unusable. No other Android app I use has the (three dots or hamburger) “menu” button at the bottom right: it's always at the top right. So I keep clicking on “reload” which is situated (in the address bar) right where the “menu” button used to be.

QUESTION: Is there a way to either restore the previous interface or, at least, move the new toolbar (or at the very least the menu button) to the top of the screen rather than the bottom?

I would like to draw attention to the fact that it is very important to solve this issue before 134 becomes stable, or users risk abandoning Firefox Mobile over this UI change if there is no way to revert it.

I'd like to know what can be done, if any, about the suggestion forms which don't work in Firefox. Every single browser other than Firefox has this thing working perfectly, which is insane. For example if I open Partsouq and I introduce a few VIN numbers in the search box there, those numbers get remembered and later on when I go back there to check a new car part, ilI can juat start typing the first few letter and a suggestion popup would give me ths rest of the VIN, making my life easier in the process. This doesn't work in Firefox. Is there a particular reason this is broken or maybe considered useless? Or maybe there's a flag that needs to be modified to allow this festure to be activated? I'll post 2 screenshots. One will show how it looks in Chrome, where the suggestions work fine and the other shows Firefox which looks as if I hadn't introduced those numbers on there ever before. What can be done about it?

Just wondering why Firefox on Android does not allow default desktop view of things such as Google Drive and to open Google docs in browser? I need the full Google Docs in the browser as the Docs app does not have all the things I need, such as equation editor. I have the Samsung Tab S10 Ultra so I know it is capable of doing this, I do it in Chrome on this tablet all the time, but would love to move over to Firefox, but can't because of this. Even the Samsung Internet app will allow this. Seems like Firefox really has not supported larger screen and more powerful Android devices properly.

I have both the beta Thunderbird for Android and the k9 clients on my phone but hadn't realised they were not interchangable, so I got a surprise when I opened via the blue icon and deleted an email and there was no 'are you sure you want to delete' or deletion options dialogue on the thunderbird version. The K9 still asks to confirm delete, but the thunderbird only has three options in the settings and I cant find any setting to turn on the dialogue.

If I'm not missing something (maybe I missed an update), I suggest this needs copying over from K9.

Hello! After the recent update, any text I insert remains without spaces and all words are written together. I disabled all extensions: no result. The problem did not occur in other browsers.

I'm on Developer Edition of Firefox. In previous versions of Firefox (Probably 132), I could share the window just fine, but since an update to either Teams or Firefox, it just results in a blank screen for viewers.

Firefox consumes almost 2Gb of RAM with only one tab open. I find this surprising, and it's a major performance issue for me.

Do you have an explanation or solutions to reduce this memory overconsumption?

I have updated the Firefox to 133.0 (Build #2016056951), hg-24fce2fbde95+GV: 133.0-20241118181856n AS: 133.0. When I open new tab, and open any website, the default is set to "Desktop Mode", how do I reset it to normal default mode?

Hello everyone,

I have a problem. I have seen that there have been discussions about this in the past. Unfortunately I have not found a solution and the discussions are all archived.

Now to the problem: Various pages have no favicon in Firefox when I drag them into the bookmark bar as a bookmark. However, when the page is active in the tab, a favicon is visible there.

The problem does not seem to be unique to me. Several people have tested it. It also seems to be a problem in Firefox only. In other browsers, this problem does not occur.

What can website owners do to fix this problem?

Here is an example of a site where I have the problem. www.organspende-register.de

Many thanks in advance. Best regards

Firefox beta usually works OK but random webpages either take ages to load or even hang indefinitely. Most of the responses I've seen on this subject simply ask for more info re websites, extensions etc but other browsers don't have these problems, so it looks like a core Firefox thing.

When you have the 'Open links in apps' setting turned on, clicking a link will open the app but also open the link in browser as well. This is annoying because if I'm searching for something and switching back to the browser, I have to click back every time to go back to the search results.

- This is a problem on Firefox Beta for Android - I have a Pixel 8a - It works fine on standard Firefox for Android - It is not specific to one app - The open in app part works fine. It's just the browser shouldn't also go to the website at the same time.

Hi y'all, when I use firefox DE, there is a bug in which the search bar overlaps with the tabs, after the new release. Is this because I use a custom CSS that reverts the tabs back to the old style? I would really appreciate it if I could still use the old firefox tab style without having my search bar overlapping with the tabs

I was working with responsive view mode and noticed that sensor scroll with mouse is broken. I checked on another PC and the problem there too. I don't know how to describe it, but I made a video and uploaded it to a website so you can watch it.

Hi, w11p laptop. Dev build 133b2 & older (dev builds all).

https://united4respect.app.scaletowin.com/?inviteEmail=psldda%40gmail.com&loginImmediately=true&inviteHasAccount=true

This issue is not just for united4respect. I've encountered it in DNC phone banking login as well, it does seem to be a scale to win set of pages.

Issue: in order to log in to scale to win web pages, it requires me to type in my email address in the provided field in the link above. What I get: nothing. Typing does not happen What I did not do: go into troubleshoot mode What I want: is this an extension issue? Is it a FF Dev build issue? I don't have stable FF here. It's iffy troubleshoot mode fixes, depends on problem. What I did: use chrome. It worked. I prefer FF.

Later: I checked the 2 extensions that could possible be at fault, and they are NOT it: malwarebytes and ghostery extensions. I disabled both. I tried typing in the scale to win website, regular FF mode (not troubleshooting). Still no typing allowed.

I then changed fonts from arial to times new roman. No difference, no typing takes place.

Advise, please. Thank you.
