I have an android phone. A website required me to update Firefox to use the website. I hate updating Firefox. This time I lost the mic on my search bar in Firefox and in any of the browsers I select.

How do I restore the ability to ask questions orally?

Please give step by step solutions. If you say " go to the X feature," please tell me exactly how to get there and assume I know nothing. It is all too accurate!

Samsung Internet hijacks default browser

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra running latest Android update and latest Firefox update. I set Firefox as my default browser. I have un-installed all updates for Samsung Internet and removed all permissions for it. Disabling it is greyed out. Some apps that I use have links to websites. Too frequently, when I go to one of those links, the intro screen for Samsung Internet opens. Then, when I look at the settings in Firefox it is no longer set as the default. Then I set Firefox to default and go to my phone settings to see that Firefox is selected as the default. If I open the previously mentioned app and choose the web link, Firefox will open. But somewhere along the way, the default changes back to Samsung Internet and it's a vicious circle. I have posted in a Samsung forum but haven't gotten a reply that solved the problem. Please help. Thanks Mike

Re-enable "Settings" and "Quit" in︙menu using about:config?

I updated and now "Settings" & "Quit" aren't in the ︙menu. They're hidden and I have to swipe up a second time to see them. This interferes with my workflow, as I use "Quit" dozens of times a day and it used to be effortlessly accessible via a single finger flick.

How do disable this hiding of "Setting" and "Quit"? Is there an about:config option I can toggle?

I am using Iceraven-2.23.1 (Build #2016045162), which is based on Firefox for Android and allows all users to use about:config

(If there is no about:config to disable it, let me know the last version before this was changed, and I'll use that instead.)

Greetings. I bought a new phone and downloaded the latest version of FF for Android. I use Private Browsing mode on both phines. This new version has the Search Suggestions from Boommarks and I don't like it. It's too distracting for me. My question: How do I turn it off? Thank you.

Don't cram unwanted "features" like trending searches. Anything I want to search for I type in. What others search for I do want to see or be bothered with. Your how-to does not work to disable it. I want my search window in the center, it is my phone, my eyes, don't fugg with it.

I clicked the email I wished to read on my 11 year old Samsung ph and off we went to Firefox - BUT I got a face full of Facebook, with no sign of Firefox which appeared to have been pushed off the cliff. I don't have an FB app on my ph I have never used FB on any of my devices - I am much too old and busy with many more important things.

took me a while to find this page - thanks to my incurable bone marrow cancer I sometimes feel like I am and demented ancient. [thankfully most of the time I am coherent and sort of normal -but my whole life was upended when I was diagnosed a few years ago. the number of things this disease can do to one are quite astounding so I'm always looking for news surrounding Multiple Myeloma, as it is called.]

can I prevent that from happening? and, if yes, of course, how can I do that? thanks for reading all this

uhoh, I just realised I haven't updated FF on my ph - even tho I do it on PC when I see a message, or just check if one is lurking ...

could that be the reason for FB sticking their bib where it's not welcome? k
