Firefox for Android Community Forum

I recently changed phones and switched from iPhone 13 Pro to OnePlus 15. Now, Firefox is my preferred browser, but I've been faced with the issue of moving my open tabs from one phone to the other. I'm already aware of the sync function, but well, let's just say that I have a metric crap ton of open tabs on my old phone, enough to make opening the tabs one by one a Herculean task for even the most saint in the world. Please excuse my exaggerations, I'm simply at my wits end.

So my question is, is there a more efficient way to do this? Any advice is appreciated more than I could say. Thanks in advance

The adertisements which keep on popping up need to be completely stopped because it affects my speed when I brose other apps. Do you have any feature in Firefox browser which I can use and block the adds

I am unable to view the comments section after articles on Yahoo. When I click on the link the comments section link disappears. When I try the links using a different browser I am able to get to the comments section with no problem.

For some reason I can now no longer save my bookmarks to a specific folder anymore it's not giving me the option. As is shown in the image below, this is the only thing that pops up when I try to save my bookmarks now, even when I click on the arrow next to bookmarks it does not expand out to show me all the folders that I have in my bookmarks so I was wondering if there's a way to get it to work properly.

Jesus Christ when is this going to be fixed? On latest Android version and latest Firefox version. Has been like this for months. Going back one steps takes you back two steps. Makes it impossible to Google anything.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

My Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra keeps reporting that "Firefox is using too much battery in the background. Put it in deep sleep to extend your battery life.". I have set background battery use to "restricted"and disabled background data. I don't want to put the app into setup sleep because then it will no longer be the default web browser.

I've created a passkey for logging in to Google.

When trying to log in to Google within Firefox on my Pixel 9 phone, I'm automatically taken to the page where I should be prompted to enter my passkey, but no prompt actually appears, so there's no way for me to actually enter my passkey. (See attached screenshot.)

To be clear, I can still tap "Try another way" and log in using other methods, such as via an approval prompt sent to my other devices.

This problem does not happen on my Samsung tablet. When I try to log in to Google within Firefox on my tablet, I'm given the choice to log in via various methods, and if I choose to use a passkey, I *am* given a prompt to enter my passkey.

Any idea what the problem could be?

I used to be able to save bookmarks in specific folders. That option is no longer available. When I try and select Bookmarks Menu nothing happens. I can go into Bookmarks and see all my folders. I don't know after which update I noticed the issue. Is there a fix for this? I'm running Firefox 148.0.2 (Build #2016148295), on Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, SM-P 613.

Can I fine-tune sync the way I want?

I would love to be able to sync bookmarks and passwords between two desktops yet sync just the bookmarks to a third device: an Android phone. Why? Because while I want my bookmarks available everywhere, I don't want sensitive passwords on a device that leaves home.

But I don't see a way to do that. I've tried, and I find the passwords and up being synced no matter how I configure the settings.

Nor, apparently, can I export the bookmarks and passwords to a file, strip out the passwords, and import the bookmarks alone to the phone--what I was hoping could be a workaround. I gather one can't import to mobile Firefox. Have to sync.

So I'm back where I started: unable to do what I want to do.

And I missing something?

Hello I switched from Chrome to Firefox two months ago. I noticed from the beginning of using it that it causes a lot of problems playing videos. I tried playing YouTube and Facebook videos, but many times they keep loading but don't play. I confirmed that my internet was fine and even when testing with ad blockers like uBlock turned off, it sometimes failed to play the video. The problem is really annoying for a user, please fix it.

Firefox android: Playback issues on latest version 14-03-2026

I mean couple of patches ago, background playback worked just fine. Even on screen shut-off and making easier to listen to Podcasts.

Now, it's back to where it just shuts off if screen is no longer active. The hatred edition of active user screen playback nobody needs.

This is why using Firefox on Android is nuisance. YOU DON'T HAVE THESE SETTINGS ACCESSIBLE.

Int the main Bookmark menu, the sub folder "Food" does not show. Cnnot place the bookmark in the right folder. None of them are showing. Selecting the edit button doesn't show them either.

Hi. So I've been having this issue where, I search something in google, it searches what I asked it to. Then I search again and it finds what I asked it to. The third time if I search again it'll go back to the first thing I tried to search as if i just pressed BACK twice. Something similar happens if I search for something, and then if I search the second thing and tap on the website and then press BACK, it'll go back to the first Google result I ssearched. It's been a few weeks this has been happening and the only thing that'll TEMPORARILY fix it is if I close firefox. If you need any more information I'd be happy to help you help me. Thank you!

When I tap a text box to type on some webpages, the page automatically zooms in, making me have to manually zoom out again. I understand why this might be helpful to some people, but I just find it frustrating. Is there a way to disable it? I don't see anything in the accessibility settings and I've tried making my font size bigger, but that didn't work.
