Firefox for Android Community Forum

I'm trying to use ctrl+f to use the find function on my Samsung tablet S11 to no avail. I found the article saying to use the 3 dots next to the url bar, which works, but significantly increases the amount of time it takes me to do so AND I have to redo it for every single page. Is there truly no way to use keyboard shortcuts? That feels a bit insane to me...

Hello, I am using fire fox on a Nothing phone 4a Pro. Recently the page formatting has changed on YouTube. It wasn't originally like this... As you can see in the photos, when browsing through a channels videos it has them organized in a weird manner to where I cannot read video titles... The YouTube homepage has also changed. I think my app updated and then it automatically formatted YouTube this way. Firefox YouTube on my Samsung and iPhone are not having this problem.

Deleting a selection of websites will be removed in history, but is kept at the search button when searching the name/website/link. Deletimg it individually seems to be the only solution.

Ive used text to speach on Android long before AI. Why am I now forced to keep AI features enabled or otherwise lose the standard option and conveince of my phones basic feature?

Just updated to 152 on Android (152.01 to be precise) and no page summarise features are available - not showing in the settings page, when using the menu (3 dots) on a web page and no shake to summarise either. No shake to summarise gesture under customisation or page summarise under ai controls either.

My language is normally defaulted to system (English NZ) but changing to English UK or Enlgish US doesn’t fix this.

It hasn't been highlighted as a release that's region locked:

"Page summaries: Get key points from long articles with a tap or shake. Now available to all users in English."

Any ideas? A bug?

Hello everyone, I am noticing a strange visual issue since today on my Android device. There is a persistent thick purple outline around the last active tab in the normal tab overview/tray.

• • Device & App Specifications:
    • • What I have tried so far (none of it worked):**It looks like a keyboard/accessibility selection focus ring that gets stuck on the active tab tray element and ignores the theme engine.

Is anyone else on Android 16 or Version 151 experiencing this UI bug? Any known workarounds to force-disable this outline? Thanks!

Btw. Chrome is working well. No annoying purple outline as shown on the last picture 🤷🏻♀

As usual, Firefox is quite dependable and fast.

Having one major issue on a Lenovo Idea Tab Plus. Shortcuts like Ctrl+l or Ctrl+t (probably others) do not work. They all do with browsers like Edge, Brave and Vivaldi.

Ticking "automatic font sizing" checkbox under "accessibility" often breaks websites.

In a lot of cases, pages are a bit zoomed-in initially, when you open it. You can often manually zoom-out to fix that.

Often pages are clipped on right edge. It's not possible to zoom out.

Sometimes website popups completely break the website. For example privacy policy popups. Sometimes it's not possible to dismiss them at all. Dismiss buttons can get moved outside of the website, so you are basically stuck.

I love Firefox for Android but I have very bad eyesight. When I pinch to zoom the page always jumps. I feel like I've researched all quick fixes and nothing stops this. I don't want to go back to Chrome, but they're pinched to zoom works a lot better. Is there something I can do? Thank you for your help

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

KR CJAB

I have a Samsung J5 with Android 9.

I have Firefox Beta version 139.0b10.

Has the issue of Firefox beta cutting off text between pages of the PDF file when printing to PDF files been resolved with the latest versions of Firefox beta?

Now, after the latest update (October 18 – 144.0 (Build #2016119303)), keyboard isn't "detected" by pages. So when KB is open, can't scroll to the bottom of the page. Or similarly, pages which have a message box at the bottom, KB overlays that box and everything below it. Quick test shows that only the New Tab screen and URL bar know about the keyboard status.

Tested on different browsers with different phones. Firefox for Android overlays keyboards on top of the webpage instead of resizing the viewport. This partially blocks the view of responsive webpages and most times blocks the view of text input boxes while typing.

Image attached shows how the keyboard is overlaid on top of the end of the footer of the Mozilla website. Last image shows a Chrome screenshot for comparison.

Hallo Community,

Seid dem neuesten Update von Android schiebt sich das browserfenster nicht automatisch nach oben. Wenn die tastatur eingeblendet wird. Sprich der chat, also das was ich schreibe, verbirgt sich hinter dem tastaturfeld.

Vor dem Update musste ich das auf vielen websiten nach oben schieben. Um das zu lesen, was ich aktuell tippe. Nun kann ich das nicht mehr hochziehen. Und muss jedesmall die tastatur verbergen, lesen, korrigieren.. weiter tippen :/

Meine versuche, die bisher erfolglos geblieben sind: Firefox app neu installieren. Andere tastatur für android installieren. Neu starten vom smartphone.

Das Smartphone hat kaum apps installiert. Ist also ziemlich blank. In anderen browsern habe ich nicht das problem. Ausschließlich in firefox. Und das auf jeder Homepage mit einem chatfenster.

Firefox ist das aktuellste aus dem playstore. Also frisch. Samsung tastatur Samsung galaxy s 23 ultra. Neuestes betriebssystem (update novemer 2025) Wenige apps installiert, wie krankenkasse oder email.

New version 144.0 just arrived and a bad surprise for me. I'm often using the shortcuts in the start page, but these are limited now to the first 8 icons and can not be scrolled. To see the others I need to click on Show All. This seems to me as a very bad update Up through Firefox Android 143 Shortcuts on the new tab page could be quickly side-scrolled, but that appears to be removed in 144, which I find significantly more clumsy. Please restore the prior behavior, at least and I hope it will be corrected Thank you. and copy and paste is broken on android mobile (Sorry I had to blur sole of my pint shortcuts)

So now home screen icons are circles.

Can you please not? At least allow me to set my own style for home screen. I always prefer rectangular shapes on my device, they make everything more recognizable and easier for my autistic brain to navigate. I'm sick and tired of everything becoming soft and rounded nowadays.
