Firefox for Android Community Forum

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

Why are Firefox's downloaded images so hard to find later after downloading? I prefer Android's Galaxy app where I name my folders that are useful for me. And why aren't they .jpg or .gif or something? It says. webp. (webpage) The pics are just simple things like a picture of a casserole or a cat. Nothing proprietary. I see no setting asking "save to... whatever...folder" And say whatever folder you choose is.

When I switch to another app on my phone for 30-40 seconds, the tab that I had open decides that it should refresh. This is super annoying when trying to fill out a form and the information you get from another appz and the form reloads and all the info is gone

I do not know is this from my os or no, but this is an issue that breaks my experience almost all the time, and I am not the only one experiencing it.

Since the last update of Firefox Android there is a notice with a shield that keeps a running total of the trackers firefox has blocked. Great to know Firefox is on the job, but I don't need to see a running total. Anyone know how to remove this?

When I initialize Firefox, before being promoted for the profile, bing opens the browser tab. Bing is not my default search engine. Why is it on Firefox? I don't use Bing.

The only reason I even use Firefox is to avoid AI slop. Way to take a hammer to your own nuts, Firefox. If the new CEO intends to continue implementing AI "improvements" to the browser, I'm done.

안드로이드용 Firefox에서 화면 확대/축소 기능을 찾기 어렵고, 글자크기 확대/죽소 기능은 아에 없는 문제가 있습니다.

곧바로 화면 확대/축소 와 글자 크기 변경 가능하게 인터페이스를 개선해 주시고.

화면 확대시에는, 글 입력할 때 갑자기 화면이 더 확대되서 유튜브(Desktop mode) 등에서 동시에 동영상 시청할 시에 큰 장애가 발생합니다.

글 입력할 때 자동으로 더 확대가 안되게 해주세요.

개선 부탁합니다.

From time to time, when while playing YouTube Premium videos in Firefox on my Android Galaxy S26 (same was on S24 before for years) I connect the phone to Android Auto of my Ford Mustang 2024 with USB cable, the playback stops. After that I still can browse the web, but can not play any video until I twice in a row kill and restart the Firefox (loosing all private pages, etc). Disconnect/reconnect of the cable does not help. There are no any errors reported when it happen. It looks as some connectivity or YouTube problem, except the moment I restart Firefox twice everything goes back to normal. Since during that connection the audio is getting redirected to the car speakers, I suspect the problem may be audio-related, but I have no specific evidences. Also since car's multimedia is usually still booting at the time, it takes Android Auto several seconds to start, and I guess some random delays and/or transient errors might happen during that period, that I guess may be not handled properly by Firefox, making it leak some critical resources.

Sometimes (extremely rare) I experience similar video hangs just when switching between YouTube videos without any connectivity changes, but that may be some different issue.

when turning "show voice search" to off the voice search button is still present and usable on the new tab screen.

i also have the AI control for voice search off and yet it still functions

is there a way to remove it from this screen as well?
