When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

I like the feature of opening links in private tabs, but I would like to make some exceptions.

Some of the news papers / magazines I subscribe to do not provide native apps, they only offer web sites. I have their web sites saved to my home screen using "Add to Home screen". Because I have "Open links in a private tab" enabled, I have to log in every time, which is getting really annoying.

Things I have tried:

  • Removing the site from my home screen and making sure the shortcut was created from a standard tab and not a private tab
  • Searching the settings for a way to specify a list of exempted domains

Is there a way to accomplish this that is am missing?

If you look at the attached image you'll see the review and check out button floating over the page background. This button is supposed to be locked to the bottom of the page but instead floats higher than the bottom of the page, but still locked.

This affects any web page with an app like navigation bar that is supposed to be on the bottom of the screen.

I cannot find any options in gui settings for Firefox to change this behavior. Disabling extensions or trying the page in a private tab end with the same result.

Hello

For some reason the formatting of search results using Google has changed recently for me, but it's fine in private mode. it is widened and shows less information. for reddit searches, it excludes comment count and date. I attached an image to showcase the difference compared to private mode which has the proper formatting.

thanks

DNS resolution failure/timeout

Since updating to v144.0.1 (distributed via Google Play) on OnePlus 5 with stock Android 10 (OxygenOS 10.0.1) Firefox initially performs as expected, but after a few days displays the 'connection has timed out' message when trying to access any URL (after a delay of around 45 seconds).

Issue occurs regardless of device connection to WiFi / cellular, other apps on the device have no issues with connectivity in both cases. PCAPDroid captures show DNS requests to the Android system resolver 10.215.173.2 with responses as expected, but no HTTP/HTTPS connections.

The issue persists across force stop, device restart, and clearing but is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling until it recurs a few hours later. Issue also observed with beta build 145.0b7, but not yet seen using either Fennec 144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 or with Nightly 146.0a1 (Build #2016122871), 6488d90a06c0b99c9f7000b8c0763c4f44253912, GV: 146.0a1-20251028041839

I am trying to migrate to new Android phone and I am having great difficulty with migrating the firefox profile wholesale. The adb backup method fails. The sync method will not transfer addon settings (I have extensive list of ublock origin filters). Besides I would like not to touch cloud for profile migration.

I have tried https://github.com/Rob--W/firefox-android-backup-restore but that failed epically (and I am very technical person).

I do not want to root the android (it breaks banking apps).

What now?

Really appreciate the suggestions.

I am not looking forward to re-login to all the sessions and recreate all the filters.
