Firefox for Android Community Forum

On Firefox mobile for Android there's a huge first in the list button pushing your vpn, i hate it and want it removed but there's no option to do so, i don't want it or need, same with your lackluster ai features.

In the past ive donate multiple times to the Mozilla foundation, but will no longer, while they push bad redesigns and feature i neither want nor can hide.

I need to be able to switch the immediate function of tapping the url header back to how it was. I shouldn't have to tap another button to view, copy, and/or edit the url.

When I try to open some links, Firefox gives me the option to "Always open links on apps".

This needs to be fixed. Instead of the option to Always open links in apps, it should be changed to always open links of that type in the external app. I may want torrent links to open in external apps, but maybe I don't want Reddit to automatically do the same thing.

I have the new VPN feature disabled, but I cannot remove it from the main menu reachable from the url bar (three dots). Even after turning it off, it stays at the top. Please let me remove it from the shelf. It is very distracting.

Maybe the settings page for it could also have a toggle to show/hide the VPN in edition to enable/disable. I tried the nimbus experiments and debug settings but the opt out does not persist.

In the short term, a secret setting would be appreciated.

Every time I need to launch privacy mode in the Android app, I can't find the button or a link. I don't use it that often, but it's important when I do need it. Each time I need it I spend a lot of wasted time looking for it. Ultimately I have to ask Google Gemini how to do it. 1) I don't want to keep asking AI how to do it. It ought to be easier to find. 2) I don't want a shortcut on my Android desktop with its limited, valuable real estate.

After thinking about it, it occurs to me that adding the ability to add a privacy mode shortcut to the toolbar might be simple for the developers and it would solve my problem. It's too bad I can't add more than one shortcut to the toolbar in Settings, but a privacy mode shortcut is the one I'd select... if only one were available. (sigh)

I have Firefox as my default browser on my Android phone. But when I try to open certain things it tells me that Chrome is outdated and I need to use Firefox. I'm confused.

There is no forward gesture (you go back no matter which directionvyou swipe)

The forward button is hidden in a submenu and cannot be mapped next to the address bar.

Kindly, what the frack?
