I default to a portrait orientation in my phone, when entering full-screen on a YouTube video Firefox automatically rotates the screen to landscape and then back again to portrait when exiting full-screen, that's great, however if I then change tabs and return to the tab where the video was playing (which is no longer in full-screen) Firefox rotates the entire site back to landscape mode. 100% reproduction rate. Temporary fix is entering and exiting full-screen again but the bug happens again if I change tabs subsequent times.

Galaxy A14 5G, Firefox 142.0.1

The products that are displayed in the thumbnail images in the Google shopping search results are tiny (microscopic). Opera and DuckGo display normal sized images.

Does anyone know if there's a setting in Firefox that can be used to make the thumbnails display properly?

Firefox used to be good but it's just becoming broken garbage. I just tried the Opera browser which lets you listen to youtube with the screen locked and tab minimalised. Something that used to function on Firefox but is now just another broken feature. Not to mention that for over a year now the comments haven't been loading on youtube videos, which I posted on here all the way back then and got no response. Time to put this useless garbage in the trash can...

I'd like to be able to enter combining diacritics U+0300 and U+0301

Sometimes I want to enter arbitrary IPA strings into websites from my phone. I've tried finding a privacy-respecting way to conveniently do this and the best way I've found so far is to use the app Unicode Keyboard by Tim Wunderlich, available on the Google Play Store, and enter the code point for the IPA letters or diacritics I want. This works in every other app, but in Firefox, there are two characters I can't enter this way - the combining grave diacritic U+0300 and the combining acute diacritic U+0301. Even other combining diacritica work. I like researching and talking about linguistics and conlanging online, and sometimes this involves using those diacritics to mark tones. This is such an odd specific incapability for Firefox to have but it has persisted, since at least as far back as 2024. I've just had to enter those diacritics in another app and copy&paste them in. I can enter the diacritics directly as keyboard input in Firefox on Windows and GNU/Linux.

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

I logged into my firefox account on my mobile to sync all the data from my PC. But I didn't remember the password and did not have access to my PC. So I reset my firefox password and that caused all data to be deleted like passwords and bookmarks. What can I do to recover that? Please help.
