Firefox for Android Community Forum

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

Hi. When I go to YouTube.com on the Firefox mobile browser, I cannot for the life of me find my notifications. On the Firefox PC browser, there is a bell icon in the top right of the screen, but not only is it missing in the mobile browser, I cannot find any button or section labeled "notifications." Please advise.

No, I CANNOT delete Google as a search engine if I simply set another search engine as default. I DID that and the option to delete Google is still blacked out. Try again.

I would like to request that you urgently add more languages to your roster for translation especially Japanese! I would think that this day and age these language was would be fairly easy to add since there's so many different libraries and this has been done and is offered on so many other browsers. My otherwise really enjoy your product and would like to offer my gratitude and appreciation for Mozilla Firefox and the effort and work you guys have put in. Quality product keep up the good work!

I am writing to report an issue with the page frequently auto-refreshing. This feature causes a significant disruption, especially when I am in the middle of entering information into data fields, such as forms, passwords, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Every time the page automatically refreshes, all the data I have input is lost, forcing me to restart the process from the very beginning. This happens repeatedly and is extremely frustrating.

I request that this auto-refresh functionality be disabled. It would be much better if the refresh action could only be initiated manually by the user. This would ensure that data being entered remains intact without interruptions that cause the process to restart.

Subject: Issue Report: Automatic Page Refresh Causes Data Loss in Formsbold text

Problem Description: The page/screen automatically and continuously refreshes on its own without user command.

Impact of the Issue: This automatic refresh is highly disruptive because:

1. It erases all data currently being entered into forms (e.g., user details, passwords, OTPs).

2. It forces the user to repeatedly restart the data entry process from scratch.

3. It significantly hinders and slows down the completion of any task on the page.

Suggested Solution: Please disable the automatic refresh feature. The refresh action should be user-initiated only (e.g., via a manual refresh button or a "pull-to-refresh" gesture) to prevent data loss during input. Thank you.
