Firefox for Android Community Forum

On my Samsung Galaxy s6 when I try to add to the home screen and then choose the option to tap and hold and drag to the screen, it just closes the app it is nothing. It doesn't work. The text options from the pop-up do work but the main graphic where it's trying to get you to drag and drop it does not work.

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

《望支持触屏翻页功能-浏览网页的本质是阅读，所有电纸书阅读器都有触屏翻页功能》

1. 浏览的本质是阅读，所有电纸书阅读器都有触屏翻页功能。UC浏览器iPhone版安卓版，360手机浏览器安卓版，都有触屏翻页功能、虚拟翻页按键。希望你们增加触屏翻页选项、虚拟翻页按键，让有需要的用户可以选择。 2. 通过滑动屏幕滚动网页有两缺点：1.滑动网页需时间；2.滑动完后视线定位到滚动前阅读的内容以接着阅读，也需时间。 3. 如果支持触屏翻页，阅读某个网页时能单手握持平板，单手触屏翻页。

I'm using a few pages that need some time and a open connection to generate it's content (namely: A locally hosted AI). Accessing it from different desktop-systems works fine, but I noticed that Firefox Mobile (or Android) is terminating the connection as soon as my phone locks itself. Everything that the AI generates after is no longer displayed and I need to regenerate it. Is there a way/a setting to keep the connection open? So I can just set my phone to the side while the AI is generating?

On Firefox for Android I have noticed lately that the pages slide side to side when scrolling. I've read to enable Reader Mode on the toolbar to alleviate that issue but can't find that particular button. Can anyone please help with this? Thank you.

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

If i search a topic, then search another topic, find a relevant page, then scroll back, it scrolls back to the original search topic and not what I last searched, then I have to type it again.

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

The new menu doesn't contain at least two very requently used actions:

- reload the page - go forward

There is no way to disable the new menu and revert the old behavior.
