Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

  • The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
  • The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
  • Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
  • Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
  • Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

Android browser, location not working, exhausted various app and phone settings, it's stuck in NY city. Google Chrome has accurate location data. Editing about:config didn't work, applying a set of instructions from about 7 months ago. Extension Location Guard seems to have allowed me to fix a location, and has become a temporary fix. Wondering if it's the phone or browser, although other apps using location seem to work.

Hi there,

I wrote a review for the Android version of Firefox after which I was re-directed to report the issue here. So for the last couple of months, I started to notice that Firefox (Android) lags/stutters severely when browsing through youtube, not watching videos, just scrolling through the video feed. Even after the page has loaded with all the videos, scrolling lags/stutters significantly, and it only happens when browsing youtube, haven't had this issue with any other site on Android using Firefox. I'm not using any extensions on Firefox in case that would impact it somehow.

I've updated and also re-installed Firefox on my android phone in the hopes that it may fix the problem, but unfortunately it didn't.

That said, I do use Firefox on my desktop, with plenty of extensions installed, and haven't run into this same issue with youtube.

Android OS version: 7.1.1 Mobile: SM-J250F (Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Pro) Firefox version: Latest

Video preview of the lag/stuttering can be seen at the link below: https://youtu.be/zXBNmeC5IQY

Kind Regards

Firefox for Android, Galaxy phone

Whenever I use "previous page" or back arrow to return to a Google search results web page it goes to the top of the page of search results instead of returning to where I left off.

For example, if I tap on the 57th link on a page of Google search results to check out the web page and then i tap the back arrow to return to the page of Google search results it should return to the 57th search result where I left off. In actuality it goes to the top of the search results page and I have to scroll down to the 57th search result to resume from where I left off.

When I tried to recreate this problem in the Opera browser for Android it always returned to where I left off.

Created a HomeScreen shortcut for FB.

I also have my FF Theme set to dark and that works great from the main FF window but seems to be ignored from the window launched from home screen (and shows light, this is the case also when the theme is set to follow the device theme)

if there is a wayvy9nsetvgtheme for HomeScreen shortcuts it's not obvious how to do so

I use wiktionary a lot on my phone. When I'm looking for a Word, the Wiktionary search bar offers suggestions while typing. However, when I try to select one of the suggestions (since this would be much easier than completing the word I've been typing) the dropdown suggestions box disappears. (Firefox for Android. Phone Samsung S22, Android 14, OneUi 6.1, Firefox 134.0.1) I have no idea whether this is an issue about how Wiktionary is coded, or how Firefox works, or about Android os but in any case I'm weary of this and I'm considering installing another browser on my phone just for wiktionary. I've been using Firefox since the beginning I guess, and since I don't want to use any other browser I hope this issue is resolved as soon as possible.

I have updated to the latest Firefox version for the Android app, using Samsung Galaxy S20. When viewing YouTube in mobile view (desktop view works though) through the browser, the comment section seem to be invisible and not showing. I have tried fresh reinstalling, and toggled all the settings, but I can't seem to get it to work on Firefox. Other browsers like chrome works just fine. Is this a bug?

There used to be a forward arrow option in the three button menu. Now there is not and I cannot find out where it is or how to navigate forward.

This seems like a bug because navigating forward is a core function of browsing. Anyone know where it went or how to fix this?
