Firefox for Android Community Forum

I love the app but would ask that the search widget be non-forced when I install firefox as I find it invasive and If I want to look for something I open firefox so I have moved it to a screen I never go to , also I set most of my apps to close on lock screen and I find I continually get notified of firefox being closed even though I don't open it ????

Hi there! I'm a mostly happy user of Firefox on Android, except for one thing: Firefox seems to be bad at being content with cached data for offline reading.

I have a lot of tabs open, often in reader mode, which I like to bring up when I'm out and about. I frequently switch between browser and other apps. I also often use reader mode. Firefox has the unfortunate desire to reload a tab when I switch to it, even when there's no connectivity (i.e. I'm in the subway). This means I have to react quickly to the browser's loading attempt and cancel it, or the cached content will be dropped and I'll be told there is no connection (Duh, I don't care! Just show me the cache). Many other times though, tabs that were there in the cache won't open at all because Firefox will try to connect immediately... and fail. Did the cache get dropped or something?

Is there anything I can do about it?

I'd like to know what can be done, if any, about the suggestion forms which don't work in Firefox. Every single browser other than Firefox has this thing working perfectly, which is insane. For example if I open Partsouq and I introduce a few VIN numbers in the search box there, those numbers get remembered and later on when I go back there to check a new car part, ilI can juat start typing the first few letter and a suggestion popup would give me ths rest of the VIN, making my life easier in the process. This doesn't work in Firefox. Is there a particular reason this is broken or maybe considered useless? Or maybe there's a flag that needs to be modified to allow this festure to be activated? I'll post 2 screenshots. One will show how it looks in Chrome, where the suggestions work fine and the other shows Firefox which looks as if I hadn't introduced those numbers on there ever before. What can be done about it?

The new menu doesn't contain at least two very requently used actions:

- reload the page - go forward

There is no way to disable the new menu and revert the old behavior.

How to chat and why as my information been connected and why is it that every conversation is being recorded tape and visualized on other phones without my authorization even though I just got this phone and wise all my stuff linked to their and they can track everything accounts passwords personal information

Device: Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus

I found that everytime the web request a permission, like location, microphone. I click 'allow' button, but it's never work.

But when I click 'dont' allow' button, it's work.

Maybe it's a bug? Please help me check it.

Since the upgrade several days ago, I have not been able to select my saved password on some pages, instead I always see "Use strong password" to create a new one. I have not changed my password or anything, and can still see my account information in the saved passwords setting. How can I recover the way to input my password?

Apparently, if there are input boxes for both a username and a password on the page, my account is automatically set as before. Meanwhile, if there is only a password box, Firefox does not allow me to select my saved password.

Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!

I'm literally so engulfed in Google and I want out! I need a new email address. It looks like y'all have everything I need to keep all of the comforts of having ALL my stuff safe and easy to access.... without

I don't have a computer, only this cellphone. I have tried numerous times to sign in to no avail. Samsung Internet has tried to lock me out. I am not tech savvy but have tried to sync my passwords but the password keeps changing.

My Firefox mobile tabs have stopped updating. Every time I close and reopen the app, it gets stuck on an old session. It’s supposed to save my open tabs and return to where I left off, but now, when I reopen Firefox, it reverts to the tabs from two days ago and no longer updates.

I currently have around 1,025 tabs open (I read a lot of Chinese online web novels). Bookmarks and history are still updating properly(when i click on history it still show the website i visited recently). The thumbnails in the tab list also display the correct version (the one I last used), but when I click on a tab, it reloads and goes back to the version from two days ago. i try to backup date on phone using firefox-android-backup-restore on github and saved as tar.gz . i can share that here if needed. what i could do to fix it except deleting firefox data. i don't want to lose all my opening tabs.

After a web search via the top toolbar, when the keyboard is minimized the area behind the keyboard is not rendered. At this point, if I open the menu and bookmark the page, the "Saved in Bookmarks" message pops up at the bottom of the page, and then the area behind the keyboard is rendered. After that, the keyboard and the area behind it works fine, when the keyboard shows and hides. If I open a new tab and do a web search there, the same thing happens ie no render behind keyboard. If I go back to the previous tab, it also re-acquires the problem.

If I touch and hold (for the copy-paste context menu) when the problem occurs, the un-rendered area renders instantly.

If, when the keyboard is visible, I press and hold for the context menu and choose "select all" and then minimize the keyboard, the area is not rendered. If at that point I tap anywhere to clear the selection, the selection clears and the keyboard reappears. If I then minimize the keyboard, the area behind it is rendered correctly.

That doesn't happen with other browsers. It happens with default and other keyboards. I've been using Firefox since I got the phone (Samsung S9+) and this just started happening a week ago. I am on android 10.

This is probably device, UI and Android version specific. Just throwing it there in case someone gets an idea. Thanks
