Firefox for Android Community Forum

The keyboard freezes on the screen after pressing enter on a search performed in a new tab. This issue occurs specifically when the tab is opened through the tab tray interface (grid view) and does not happen when the tab is opened using the plus sign (+) on the main bar. To reproduce the bug, you must first open the tab switcher and create a new tab from there. After typing any search term and pressing enter, the keyboard remains stuck on top of the browser, blocking the view of the content. It only disappears if the user minimizes the app or opens the Firefox menu. This behavior has been confirmed on Android 11, 13, and 14, affecting all versions of Firefox. The error persists even after a factory reset of the device, on clean installs with no configuration changes, and across different keyboard apps. The bug happens in both normal and private tabs and has also been reported by other users on Reddit.

Below is a link to one of the Reddit videos reporting the keyboard freezing issue.

When I open Firefox, my main tab goes back to the homepage. First, search or bookmarks or any link do not load and revert to the homepage instead. However, on my second attempt, everything works fine. This bug happens every time I restart the app or close it. Please address this problem quickly, as I am using Firefox for Android downloaded directly from the Google Play Store, and I have the latest version, 150.0. I initially reported this issue in version 149.0.1 and would appreciate a quick fix.

Hi

I have notice when there are multiple tabs open and multiple extension running the app seem to lag with page reloading ( youtube, google, insta)

Also PIP for youtube is broken with maybe hyperos 3 Youtube controller or browser customize controller for youtube

Kindly check that

I have realised if browser is optimized well then it can replace many social media app with more privacy and customization

Device Xiaomi 17 ultra Os- hyperos 3.0.2.0 WPAINXM Android version: 16BP2A.250605.031.A3

have a feeling that other browsers are undermined on ChromeOS in favor of chrome. just seems to me that way as all the other browsers I try are slow to load and sluggish and sometimes erratice in behavior.

Hello its been a 2 or 3 months I have been using firefox and always have meet multiple malfunction on the browser, its not that I am saying its bad tho I like the GUI design and the features it have. But this recently update i experiences a malfunction that when I try to type a wrong word autocorrecting is kinda multi hopping like its scrabble some words I try to clear cache it and even clear cache my keyboard but still their. Hope mozilla find this bug immediately

I go to a website and it tells me that it has emailed me a code. I have to go to another app to bring up my email to get the code. When I go back to Firefox using the recent apps feature, on my phone, Firefox reloads to the previous page and I have to start all over again because you've gotten rid of the page I was on, to put the code in. It's an endless cycle. Since I'm not actually closing Firefox why can't it open onto the page I was just on?

Bookmarks folder still takes too long to open when adding and editing bookmarks. When is this going to get fixed? Or where can i download an old version of Firefox for Android that does not have this issue?

When browsing on Google Images, any time I swipe from one picture to the next, it is like the image doesn't want to swipe and is actively fighting against me. It is glitchy, bouncing around before I can drag it across my screen.

This is an issue of mobile FireFox, not of my device. Swiping and scrolling on other web browsers, such as Samsung Internet or Google Chrome, is seamless and buttery smooth.

Happens daily at random, click on link it opens Firefox to a black screen, fails to load requested page. I close app then click link again and it works perfectly. This is not desktop browser. I empty cache , no change. Any help, Thank You

Version 149. After about one day of use, Firefox on Android intermittently hangs for about five seconds, several times per minute. Attempting to select links during this time are ignored and the selection usually occurs after the hang/delay.

The device is a Pixel 5 with Android 14.

When I navigate through multiple pages on the phone, especially when the connection quality is not very good, the whole app sometimes stop loading anything.

1. Open multiple pages or SPA that would frequently make XHR requests during usage (like X/Twitter) 2. Navigate though those pages, make actions that is definitely going to initiate new http requests 3. Repeat until some contents staying in load progress 4. You'll get blank page if you open new page from now on 5. Killing the process (in app details) would reset this behavior.

Feels like there is a connection or worker thread pool that is running out of available resources.

i am using honor magicpad2 today there is non sync with my keyboard and mozilla.looking for update but none .my keyboard was working well but not i cant see what i wrote .everything comes later.thanks.

Latest version(s) of Firefox on my Android 16 Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra are not happy - go to open a new tab and the entire app freezes - after about 10s I get offered the option of waiting - which does nothing, the same message reappears again 10s later - or closing the app.

Have been trying to find resolution as Firefox is my browser of choice but nothing so far besides reverting to an old build of around 140 and refusing to upgrade.

Please can this be looked at as a priority - reading up I believe a number of Samsung users are experiencing problems with the newer versions all focussed around the tab system.

When doing anything that requires momentarily leaving browser focus, such as hopping to an authentication app or email or text to receive a 2 factor authentication code, the browser will refresh the current page every time I hop back to Firefox.

This usually causes in most cases the code I left to retrieve to become expired as it now wants a new one when the page refreshes. In most cases this also wipes out the entire content of forms that I have taken time filling in. This can happen any time the app loses focus, even if somebody just phones me and I don't even volunterily leave the app.

This browser is slow in browsing compared to the Chromium engine on low-end Android devices. Also, this browser doesn't have a special YouTube feature to "swipe from the top" (swipe down) to see the video in Portrait Fullscreen mode (one video in fullscreen in portrait mode, not landscape). This removes the video suggestions shown below the main video to maintain high focus on the current video. Brave has this feature; that's why I use the Brave browser to replace YouTube Premium. And I use Firefox with uBlock Origin to remove all ads from Facebook only. So in short, I use Firefox to browse Facebook and I use the Brave browser to watch YouTube. (You might wonder why I don't use Brave to browse Facebook? Brave's built-in ad blocker is weaker than uBlock Origin, which can't remove all Facebook ads even in aggressive mode. That's why I use Firefox for Facebook). But I want everything in Firefox Android. Please focus on popular platforms like Facebook and YouTube, so that people think that we don't need to buy Premium; we can use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension without buying Premium for removing ads.

Hello, I encountered an issue when using Firefox for Android. My device supports a 120Hz refresh rate, but in my Firefox for Android, only the browser UI runs at 120Hz while the web content runs at 60Hz.

Interestingly, when the menu is opened, even though the web content is covered by the menu, its refresh rate is shown to have increased to 120Hz. Then, after the menu is closed, the refresh rate reverts back.

Keyboard randomly does not disappear after changing focus out of text fields, it becomes transparent and I have to change view mode from vertical to horizontal for it to disappear.
