Firefox for Android Community Forum

I am adding tabs to Collections and have noticed that I cannot change the order in which the list of Collections appears, either on the Home page under subheading "Collections" or upon clicking "Save to collection" from the three-dot menu.

The order seems to be fixed by an ordering system of oldest to newest. There is no way to rearrange this ordering, either to alphabetical ranking or custom ordering.

Is there a way to switch up the chronological ordering? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello. The browser is used on Android. xiaomi phone I have 1 question about creating new tabs. How can I bring the icon for creating new tabs to the foreground, so that the + is near the sites input line?

so that it is located here as shown in the screenshot.

thank you for your attention.

Hello, I'm using Firefox for Android and actively work with bookmarks. I really miss the feature that would allow me to edit bookmarks directly from the search results — for example, to rename or even delete them. This functionality seems to be missing.

Am I doing something wrong, is there a trick to it, or could this be a small update worth considering?

Thanks a lot for any response.

Best regards, Meik Alef

On July 2nd, I began receiving error messages in emails that connect with Healthcare apps that I need to check settings in my browser for Javascript & turn it back on.

I read in solutions that it's automatic, but there must be a way to activate it again. I even restarted my phone hoping that would solve it.

Hello!

In Firefox android, sometimes when I press the address bar, instead of coloring and deleting the whole address, so I can type new address, it goes into some editing mode, where when I start typing, it starts continuing the address already there. What is this extremely annoying feature? I share a screenshot where an address is colored. The grey "normal" part, and the purple part where the cursor is when I start typing.

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

I default to using private browsing on Android. However, even with having one tab open(no tabs open in normal browsing) firefox consumes way too much resources after a while and only having one tab open (>2.5 Gb of ram).

I noticed that normal browsing caches itself when it is not active on screen while private browsing keeps running in background and memory usage keeps going up by the second. Attached are screenshots of memory usage going from around 250mb to 2.5gb in couple of minutes. All I had open was a single tab!!

This is offered as Mozilla support but it mihht never be answered

Please tell me my sign in email so I can check passwords and logins in Firefox for a uRL subscription that suddenly doesn't work on my 

Android.

hi im alexsio and im curious to how do i stop getting broken sites in firefox and how do i sync google and microsoft to update their platforms to the same settings

To Whom It May Concern,

I am Muhammad Rizwan, a user of a Samsung J3 6 mobile phone, and I am experiencing a persistent and widespread issue with web permissions specifically within the Firefox browser on my device. This problem is not limited to a single website but affects multiple online services requiring various permissions.

The details of the issue are as follows:

Location Access Problem:

Despite granting explicit permission for location access on various websites, including Yandex Maps, within Firefox, the sites consistently display messages such as "Unable to determine your location" or similar error notifications.

I have verified that my phone's general location settings are enabled and set to "High Accuracy Mode." GPS signals are generally stable in my area.

Microphone and Other Permissions:

Beyond location, I am encountering similar difficulties with microphone access and other web permissions (e.g., camera, if applicable) on different websites accessed via Firefox. Websites request and are seemingly granted permission, but the functionality does not activate or remains unusable.

This issue is not confined to one specific website; it appears to be a systemic problem affecting nearly all websites that require these permissions when browsed through Firefox.

I have already attempted the following basic troubleshooting steps:

Cleared Firefox's cache and site-specific data for affected websites.

Restarted the Firefox browser.

Restarted the phone.

Confirmed that my phone's date and time settings are correct.

Verified that I am not using any VPN or proxy services.

The inability to properly utilize these web permissions within Firefox on my Samsung J3 6 is significantly hindering my ability to access and use various online services effectively. I kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter and providing guidance on a potential resolution.

Thank your for your time and attention to this urgent issue.

Sincerely, Muhammad Rizwan Email: mrizwan9@yandex.com

I just need my phone to open all these passwords and let me in.So I can continue on in this process.I am getting blocked every turn and I need to be able to work through the problem not fight equipment

I using firefox for android, and due I can't afford new ones, the second-hand devices broken often.

Well, also I don't had "desktop computer" in terms of OS. Because, tough, Samsung S series devices used as desktop device, via DEX station. I had only one working device, usually, but now succeded to achieve a second one, before the working one was quit. There's an option, to pair with a QR code.

Why that function tied to OS? Which made sense, which function or feature made it "desktop only" accessible?

We are now in 2025, meanwhile all the devs are basically thinking, out there nothing was changed. The primary computing now heavily switched to android based devices, and just sounds sick, I still tied to an outdated technology, to get smooth workaround.

I am trying to switch to Firefox but I'm having a lot of trouble on my Android phone. I have the AdGuard app already installed on my phone and it seems to be the source of the problem. Every link I click on that opens in the browser is blocked when AdGuard is enabled. It's only if I disable AdGuard do the links open.

I have attached a couple screenshots of what I see when I can't open a link. I have no intention of disabling AdGuard just to use Firefox, as I don't have this issue with any other browser I have, including Brave and DuckDuckGo.

Any help would be appreciated.
