Firefox for Android Community Forum

On Android, Samsung Galaxy S22, Links do not work when authenticating with Amazon for when you need to verify authenticity for a phone call. IT says OOPS page not found when it transfers the link from mobile Outlook email client to Firefox. However if I set browser to Chrome default, it has no issue.

Not sure how to explain this but in my settings on my phone a gardidio add pops up every time I go into my settings and no I don't want them to guard my phone I want to stop it they keep pushing me to get it 😠 😠

I have only 4GB RAM and that can be an additional factor that causes this issue. When I listen to Youtube Premium in the background (with video window hidden) and switch to Firefox, Youtube Android App is killed. Same thing happen with Youtube Music from time to time. For Youtube, I can workarund this issue by keeping video in Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode.

I am unable to send tabs from my desktop devices to Firefox on my Android device.

- All devices are logged into Firefox Sync. - Sending tabs from Android to desktop works fine. - Attempting to send a tab from desktop to Android, nothing happens. Have tried with multiple different tabs from multiple desktop devices, it never makes it to my Android device. - Synced tabs works fine. I can see the open tabs on all my devices from all my other devices, and it stays up to date. - Have tried logging out of sync and logging back in. Didn't fix the issue.

Desktop devices are running Firefox v146.0.1 on Windows Android device is running v146.0.1 on Android 16 (Pixel 8 Pro)

Which data are stored in "User Data" and how to clear this kind of stored data? When deleting data in the privacy settings in Firefox, the "User Data" storage is still unchanged. Also "Cache" is not cleared completely.

The "User Data" raises up to 1GB. It is only possible to clear it by completely wiping all data via "Clear Storage" but then everything is wiped, also all Firefox settings etc. "Clear Cache" obviously only wipes the Cache.

Existing Firefox Desktop user with Mozilla account (which lets me sync bookmarks across several Desktop devices.) New Firefox Android (version 143.0.2) user, logged in with Mozilla account, Desktop bookmarks are accessible now on the Android Firefox installation.

Problem: I'd like keep the folder in which my bookmarks (synced from Desktop --- the folder shows up on Android Firefox as Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar > (a set of folders I have on Desktop firefox containing my bookmarks) open after launching a web site from a bookmark stored there.

Observation: Currently after launching a web site from bookmark stored in the above folder, the navigation I made to reach my bookmark folder of choice is no longer open, so I need to repeat the navigation process from the start to get to my bookmark folder (that was synced from Firefox Desktop.)

Alternately: I'd like copy selected bookmarks from my (large) library of bookmarks (synced from Firefox Desktop) onto the home page of Android Firefox but do not see how to do this (I can edit the bookmark where it currently resides on the Android Firefox installation, but I don't see how to make a duplicate copy on the Android Firefox home page listing (and I don't want to delete the existing bookmark(s) on the Android Firefox installation.)

Happy to provide any clarification requested or answer any questions about this request!

Thank you.

I have a web application running in Mozilla Firefox on a handheld device (iData, Android 10).

When the Android virtual keyboard is displayed (triggered by focusing on an input field), the web application is no longer able to receive scan input from the handheld scanner.

The scanner works correctly before the virtual keyboard appears, but once the keyboard is shown, scan events are not captured by the application until the keyboard is dismissed.

This issue impacts workflows that rely on continuous barcode scanning and text input on handheld devices.

When reading Wikipedia pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model_(set_theory), symbols like "∈" are rendered in a font that looks ugly. I thought this was a problem with my Xiaomi phone, but I just found out that my system browser renders the page correctly.

I want to upload screenshots but the page seems to be stuck with the prompt "Uploading "1000003213.jpg"...", so I am going to submit this first and try to add the screenshots later.

Hello, hope this message finds you well, I've had a comment made on Google Play and I was requested to contact through the support of this chat (for context I've attached the screenshot) and regarding that question "where does this issue usually happens?" And it usually happens on forums such as LinkedIn forums like or indeed or anything where you have a forum of "writing a names, address, location, education" etc when alt tabbing from my phone going to gallery or files or etc, and going back to Firefox on mobile the page had fully refreshed by itself and losing the whole progress and I have to re-write them, the auto-refresh seems to happen overall in general not only in forums, even when I'm looking at images it auto-refreshes whenever re-opening the app again.

I've only had this issue on mobile for awhile only with Firefox Mobile, I've given a shot to Google Chrome, Mi Browser etc and they don't auto-refresh and loses progress, I personally love Firefox and I would love to remain loyal to this brand, however I hope there would be a fix for this.

Thanks,

Sincerely, Adam A.

When I'm on a long drive I need my YouTube playlist in the background because I need the navigator on screen, sometimes the autoplay works but usually it turns off after 1 or 2 songs!!

How to turn off the notification asking if I want to open a video on the YouTube app? It's especially annoying because when you switch from already opened tabs with videos already being played to another tab and then go back, you have to restart the browser for the notification to appear again allowing me to watch the video again otherwise it's a black screen of constant loading!!

When using Firefox for Android on a Xiaomi phone, some math symbols on certain websites look incorrect. For example, symbols like “=” appear in a different font style than expected. The same pages display correctly in the system browser. Firefox and the phone system are up to date. Is this related to system fonts or a known limitation in Firefox for Android?

No matter what search engine is used, if I click a link or any other buttons (like clicking cast when searching a movie) from the results, it opens the results in a new tab. If I return to the tab with the search results, it creates a new tab and it will do this indefinetly. 1 simple search results in 4+ tabs being made. This is only an issue on mobile and has been an issue for several months. Last week, it resolved itself for 1 search results, then went back to creating a ton of tabs.

I have reset site permissions, deleted site data, enabled "open links in tabs instead of new windows", disabled "shortcut: click and hold link for 1 second".

my phone and windows 7 desktop both sync bookmarks on Firefox. The PC got corrupted and had to be reinstalled. I reinstalled it without bookmarks and went to my phone to sync bookmarks before adding backup bookmarks to the desktop Firefox. That wiped out my phone's bookmarks. how can I avoid this next time.
