Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have downloaded Firefox for my default web browser. However I do not have a search bar unless I open up the app itself. How do I get a search bar without having to go through the app every time? Thank you for your help.

When I make a screenshot in private browsing the picture is black. With my former android there was no problem. Now I have a fairphone 6 and I can no longer make the screenshots in private browsing. Is there a solution fot this problem or do I need to switch to normal browsing whenever I want to make a screenshot?

So when I did a search in Firefox Android via Google I noticed that the search results were in chinese. I checked on my other browsers (Opera and Chrome) and their search results are still in English. Yes, I am using WARP by 1.1.1.1 but if that's the cause then the other broswers should have been in chinese too. I tried doing clear cache then clear storage but it was still in chinese when I did my first search in that resetted Firefox. Might be relevant information: I had uBlock Origin installed when I first experienced it and after I did the clear cache and storage thing.

Dear Firefox Support Team, ​I am writing to report a significant issue regarding the user experience and privacy management in the Firefox Android app. ​The Problem: There is a major inconsistency in how browsing data is handled compared to the desktop version. Currently: ​The History menu allows me to delete entries for a specific time range (e.g., "Last hour"), but this fails to clear associated cookies or site data, leaving my session traces active. ​The Settings > Delete browsing data menu provides the necessary options to clear cookies and cache, but it lacks any time range selection. It only allows for a "Delete All" approach. ​The Impact: This creates a problematic loop for users who value their privacy. If I want to wipe my traces for just the last hour, I am forced to delete my entire browser history and cookies, which logs me out of every single service I use. This lack of granular control is a step back from the privacy standards Firefox usually maintains. ​Requested Resolution: I request that you treat this as a functional gap and implement a "Time Range" picker (Last hour, Last 24 hours, etc.) within the "Delete browsing data" settings, similar to the desktop implementation. This would ensure that mobile users can manage their privacy without the "all-or-nothing" penalty currently in place. ​Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your ongoing commitment to user privacy.

Hello, I just upgraded from a Samsung s24 to an s26. I downloaded the Firefox app and signed in. I went into settings and tried to type in a custom homepage like I was able to on my s24. I can't find where to be able to type in a homepage to use. For example use www.yahoo.com as my home page. I've tried to Google and watch YouTube videos to find the solution but I can't find it. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

When i view on a phone in portrait all is good. Similarly if I rotate to portrait mode it is still good. When I then go back to portrait the scaling gets all screwed up and the page looks very bad. This did not use to happen about 3-4 months ago so it is a recent problem although not sure quite when this broke.

I've attached 3 images, the first showing the incorrect rendering in portrait and the other showing good portrait and landscape.

Thanks, David Hoyle

So i was trying to apply in Iness Ruhengeri university but at the last step, am trying to upload my A2certificate and ID cards as PDF but it seems to be impossible. I was using chrome but now i am trying this mozilla firefox to see whether if i can complete my application.

Firefox 148.01 on Android 10, when attempting to save a page in a bookmark subfolder I click the 3 dots, save bookmark comes up, I click on it, then I click on bookmarks edit which appears a few seconds on the bottom of the page and than it says bookmarks and underneath new folder, my subfolders don't show up anymore. So I can only save under bookmarks or underneath start a new folder. I don't see a way of moving the page from bookmarks to the subfolders either.

As above and when I click on the 3 menu dots to save a page in a bookmarks subfolder only bookmarks shows and clicking on that doesn't anymore bring up the subfolders like in version 147. So I can save pages only under bookmarks and there is also no way to move it to a subfolder from there.

I hope the mozilla team will keep the old toolbar ui like the image attach, old user such as myself are already familiar with the old ui and it would be inconvenient to adept to the new composable toolbar.

Please allow us to choose per website whether it should always/never be opened in its respective app or if it should always be asked about.

Personally, I hate when websites like YouTube, Wikipedia or Reddit open in app without my permission, but I have a few payment cervices and a local government ID system that ALWAYS require a redirect through an app, so, at least to me, granular control of this feature - to always allow some, but not all websites - would be absolutely indispensable.

Edge for Android has had this feature for a long time, and, as far as I know, it is the only existing Android browser to do so. But I am not going to use Edge :( I am attaching two screenshots of how it's been implemented in Edge though.
