Firefox for Android Community Forum

I wish there was a setting to not have the page refresh every time you go into another app and then come back into this one, it's impossible to multitask and extremely frustrating. It seems to happen on most pages I visit, even YouTube. Especially on pages with forms. It makes moving around on your phone to get info for forms impossible, and it's also just frustrating when you go to answer a text, come back and your progress on a video or form or shopping search has reset and started over, taking you back to the top. Is that sort of thing dependent on the website, or the browser?

I need to enable javascript for getting access to some sites which are very useful for any projects, I have tried many things to get access of that, I know javascript can be enabled as default but it doesn't work for me and I also tried disabling extensions, clearing cookie sites and turning off enchanted tracking protection. None of these worked, I am using android device so doing troubleshooting mode won't work. There's a command (about: config) everyone has tried and eventually became successful to get access to enable javascript. This command doesn't even load in searchbar which made me very mad, by doing everything I've tried. Please I need you to help me with this.

I have been trying to solve this lingering problem where I would like to turn off the zoom in when I activate a text input box.

I found some folks mentioning I could toggle this in about:config only to find that it does not save upon refresh.

The next option it looked like was to edit about:studies or about:profiles but I am unable to access those the same way I can access about:config

I'm using Firefox Nightly on an Android 15 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Samsung fold phone, and particularly when I select open link in new tab, or I open a new tab and navigate, the flip flip "website for computers" or whatever the English term is gets flipped on. Why does it keep changing without my permission? How do I lock it in off position until I want to change it?

Unlike other apps firefox does not stay on. I make notes from websites and firefox is virtually useless on my android tablet.there is no good solution for this other than to set my screen time out to never and changing it back afterwards as it affects other apps also. Extension like caffine does not work on android.

Hello Firefox Support Team,

Thank you for providing such an excellent browser, free of charge and without advertisements.

I am experiencing an issue on my Samsung J5 running Android 5. When I try to set Firefox as the default browser, I am redirected to an information page. While helpful, it does not mention that Firefox cannot be set as the default browser on Android versions below 8.

It would be clearer if this limitation were explicitly stated on that page.

Thank you for your attention, and best regards to the entire Firefox team.

I live in New Zealand. I've recently come back here after a holiday in Europe. My phone is set to automatically pickup the correct time from my local phone provider and it's done that so I'm now UTC + 13.

My Fennec browser isn't reflecting that and still thinks it's in the UK.

144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 AS: 144.0.1 OS: Android 12

Is there a setting I can change? Or someway to flush that cached value?

Thanks.

Hello,

My Firefox is permanently on "Desktop site" ON option. No matter how I constantly set it OFF, it always opens next link ON.

How can I make it not change that setting, unless I do it by hand, please?

Every time I open Firefox Nightly it opens Google Play Store to get me to rate the app.

This is a usability nightmare.

It asked me to rate the app originally and I pressed whatever the 'not just now' option was.

Now I get taken to the Google Play Store every time I launch Firefox Nightly. I cannot find any setting to revert this, and have no intention of leaving a review.

It's not a big deal but kinda annoing. It's working alright on any other app ie the contex menu appers near selected text but in firefox it appears only on the right side. How can it be fixed?
