Is firefox safe? How is it's privacy compared to chrome and edge? Is firefox at par with chrome and edge? In terms of popularity compared to chrome and edge -- how does firefox stand?

Hello Firefox Team, I am using the 'Video Background Play Fix' extension。 While videos continue playing in the background, YouTube fails to automatically switch to the next track when the screen is locked。 I have already enabled 'Autoplay' for audio and video and set Firefox battery usage to 'Unrestricted'。 This issue started suddenly and seems to be related to a new YouTube visibility check that requires manual interaction to play the next video。 Please look into a fix for this behavior on Firefox for Android。"

Firefox for Android version 147.0.2 (Build #2016140255) Android version 15

Hi In the Android settings spell checking is enabled. But in a text edit box on a website I visit with Firefox for Android spell checking doesn't work - no underlined wrong words. So my question: Where do I enable spell checking in Firefox for Android?

Just got the new update 147.0.1 (Build #2016138271)

Wondering if there is any way to enable opening bookmarks in new tabs without having to menu/long press the link?

I'm pretty sure Firefox made that function by default before this update, and would be nice if they could make that a toggle option rather than wholesale disabling it.

It was actually useful (for me) on mobile. Made it easier to not lose a tab I'm currently on. Now I keep automatically losing the previous open tab with new content, kinda frustrating.

Much thanks for any responses.

Добрый день! Уже не первый раз встречается проблема когда возврат на предыдущую страницу возвращает на исходную. Например: захожу в поисковик гугл, ввожу запрос и перехожу на какой-нибудь результат, далее возвращаюсь назад и меняю свой запрос в поисковике, захожу на новую страницу из результатов, снова возвращаюсь назад, но попадаю не на последний мой запрос в поисковике а на самые первый.

Current Permission Settings for Firefox to open links is set to DONT OPEN LINKS

How can I change this to ALLOW TO OPEN LINKS.

Its a big problem because I have Firefox set as Password Manager but when I get emails from sources such as banks or medical or government they wont open and so I cant get to the documents or url they send me.

I am aware of the risk of opening links that might pose security threat so I want to be able to decide for myself. I dont know how this got set to not open links. Maybe Google because they are always changing settings and adding apps WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION.

So sometimes when I set up a new account and say YES TO SAVE PASSWORD it ends up being saved to Google Settings instead

1. Customise homepage
2. Toggle Bookmarks
3. Switch Opening screen to Homepage
4. Open a new tab to youtube.com
5. Add to Bookmarks
6. Go to homepage
7. Nothing is showing up, the whole page is empty

I rely on Firefox's auto-fill functionality, so turning it off is not an option for me. Frequently, on secure sites where I am registering or making a purchase, and after I have already filled the form data saved, the fill form banner at the bottom of page remains, blocking the form 'Submit', 'Continue', 'Next', etc. It doesn't happen all the time, so assume this has to do with how the form-fill control interacts with page coding. Is there a workaround for this that does not involve turning auto-fill off?

Violentmonkey beta doesnt have signed builds for beta releases and i had 130 UserScripts in my violentmonkey setup

I want to get those UserScripts...its absolutely a shame not letting a User access or enable a addon just because of this

When using Firefox on Android on a Xiaomi 15, it frequently freezes when coming back to the app and navigating.

Generally the page will go blank white and the missing bar will appear but not move. If you go to the change app android screen (square button), then the thumbnail shows a transparent region where the page content should be.

Closing the app from there and restarting it usually resolves it, but you will have to re-enter the address or search query.
