Greetings. I am seeking assistance with transferring my existing data to my new Firefox account on my Samsung Android phone. I currently have data stored on my laptop as well as on my Samsung Android device. It includes bookmarks, saved passwords, and potentially browsing history. However, I am unclear on how to achieve this transfer properly. I would appreciate any detailed instructions or guidance you could provide, ensuring that I can successfully access all my important data on my new Firefox account. Thank you for your assistance! Best regards, Don

Why is it that when I browse Facebook and scroll down, it automatically throws me back up? In this situation, I have to repeat the scrolling twice, this happens every time I scroll down the page (this only happens with Firefox because other browsers do not have this problem)

I recently accessed a scam retailer website on my phone and made a purchase. When I tried to open the same website on my computer using Firefox, to show my husband how professional the scam site is, it was blocked by Norton safe search. Does the Firefox app have a similar extension that can be used?

How do I show Toolbar in Firefox for Android. I need to access already enabled add ons in order to use them.

I have Firefox installed on my Android phone. I have some add ons, they are enabled, I can aecess them in settings. However, in order to use them, I need to access them in the Toolbar. For instance, I need to access the VPN in order to select a country and start it -- and later turn it off.

How can I show the tool bar, like on a computer, in order to do those things? That cannot be done in the listing of add ons installed (Manage your add ons). The VPN is enabled, but it can't be turned on in the Add On "Manage your add ons) list (That's the name of it on the computer, don't know what it might be on Android.)

I uninstalled the browser app and reinstalled it, and now I'm having multiple set up issues:

The search ribbon is on the bottom of the sreen and I would love it back on the top where it belongs.

The searches keep travelling through google and not firefox, despite searching in firefox for things.


Ublock origin extension is not correctly blocking websites.

I'm not very good with or patient with computers, so these simple things seem difficult to fix

Text is too big when using Firefox on cover screen (Samsung Z Flip 6)

Hello, I have a folding phone, Samsung Z Flip 6. There is a main screen, and another small screen when the phone is folded (called cover screen). Firefox works well when using the main screen. However, when using the cover screen, the text is too big, which leads to a cramped view rendering the browser nearly unusable, because so few information can be displayed.

This problem didn't occur in my earlier phone, Z Flip 5.

Other users of the Z Flip 6 have reported the same problem (based on a few exchanges I've had on the Galaxy Z Flip subreddit).

I have attached 4 pictures: -2 pictures of Firefox on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is too big) -1 picture of Firefox on the inner screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine) -1 picture of Brave browser on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine)

If I go to Firefox accessibility settings and reduce text size by 50%, this results in a good text size on the cover screen, but way too small for the inner screen.

It seems like Firefox scales UP the text size when the screen is scaled DOWN (inner -> cover), which doesn't make sense because when there is less screen space, text should not be bigger because there is even less room for text.

I am a long term Firefox user and I am happy using Firefox on my computers and would prefer to use it on Android instead of Brave browser. But the text size discrepancy is a problem because on a folding phone, you are bound to using both screens (that is the point of a having an outer screen), and I can't use Firefox in ideal conditions.


Thank you for your attention and have a nice day!

Until recently, when I went to a site that I had saved login/pass, the fields would just autopopulate and i hit Login and it worked great. But recently instead of doing that a little "saved logins" popup comes up on the bottom of the screen and i have to click just right on it to get it to populate the fields. the popup will come up if you click on the password field, but then it only populates the password. so it's very persnickity and unintuitive and above all *slow*.

Is there a way to get it back to the much more convenient behavior? i literally switched from chrome to firefox because chrome started doing the same thing. i'm not ever going to have, for example, more than one login to my thermostat, and i don't want to have to struggle.
