Frequently when switching tabs or opening the app to start a new search, when I've typed in my URL or search, it just hangs on a gray or black screen. Eventually the page does start loading with the rainbow progress bar and the page loads.

I've turned off extensions, it doesn't seem to be that.

ESET advised me to change my Facebook password. I decided to accept a randomly generated password so I can't remember it - I had to manually edit it in Firefox Password Manager on my desktop. I have reinstalled Firefox on my Android phone and successfully SYNCed it to the desktop, but Facebook keeps trying to use the old password.

As is well known, Firefox China( https://www.firefox.com.cn , which is now inaccessible and can be viewed on the history page in the Internet Archive.) The service was stopped a few days ago, which led to the removal of Firefox for Android from all app markets in Chinese Mainland, which means that users in Chinese Mainland will not be able to download Firefox for Android. After all, users in Chinese Mainland cannot access Google App Store. May I ask if there is any solution? Of course, I would prefer the Firefox team to restore the listing of major Chinese app stores.

简体中文标题:中国大陆用户如何下载Firefox for Android?

众所周知,Firefox中国(https://www.firefox.com.cn,现已不可访问,可在互联网档案馆查看历史页面)在前些时间停止了服务,导致所有中国大陆的应用市场都下架了Firefox for Android,这意味着中国大陆用户将无法下载Firefox for Android,毕竟中国大陆用户并不能访问谷歌应用商店。请问有什么解决办法吗?当然,我更希望Firefox团队可以恢复上架各大中国应用商店。

Why can't I Google SSO from a webview from the Stash Invest app but when I open the webview in Firefox, Google SSO works fine?

This is all on my Android phone but I use the Stash app for investing here https://www.stash.com/ but the Google SSO button redirects me to https://accounts.google.com/gsi/transform with a blank screen and nothing happens. If I instead open the webview in Firefox as part of the browser app, then Google SSO works fine for me. Since it works in Firefox as a browser it seems to me this must be a bug in Firefox when in a webview. Any idea what's going on?

FireFox Android Lost Tabs

I am using an outdated Android FireFox Browser

120.1.1 (Build #2015990546), 287644eb76+ GV: 120.0.2-20231208211905 AS: 120.0.2

I think it was downloaded December 2023, never updated (for fear of losing tabs).... In Late November 2025 (recently), I opened a link in my FaceBook app (as usual, not the first time, at all), the link followed to the FireFox app and only that page appeared in my tabs- ALL OF MY TABS that were building and being saved for 2 years just suddenly vanished, and, quietly!!!!

I am using a tablet and I it has never been rooted.... I do have some knowledge in Windows data recovery, managing sessions through Windows/Android platforms through extensions, JSON files, and the Windows backup folders....

Can anyone help me, based on all info provided????

Can't create or use Passkey in Firefox Android, Waterfox or Firefox Nightly

I have a Pixel 8 Pro, I 'see' Paypal passkeys created by my Win 11 machine and by Chrome on my Pixel 8 Pro. The passkey page on PayPal says passkeys can't be created on 'this device or browser'. Exact same screen on all three firefox browsers.

Tried creating a passkey for www.yahoo.com and it says 'Passkey could not be created. Try Again' So that says it's not specific site related. Can a site dictate what's allowed? ( I have no idea)

Most sites seems to specify the browsers accepted but I assume that's just regurgitating the specs and usually out of date?

I saw the post from September that said it was fixed in Nightly, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the current Nightly from the Play Store.

Hi,

I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android phone becomes noticeably slow whenever I open certain video or streaming pages. The browser doesn’t crash, but the page takes a long time to respond, and scrolling becomes choppy until the video fully loads.

I’ve tried clearing the cache, disabling add-ons, and testing on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. The issue only seems to happen on Firefox — the same sites load smoothly on other browsers.

Is this a known performance limitation, or is there something in the settings I should adjust? I’m not sure if it’s related to media decoding or just heavy websites.

Thanks for any guidance.

I have been trying to solve this lingering problem where I would like to turn off the zoom in when I activate a text input box.

I found some folks mentioning I could toggle this in about:config only to find that it does not save upon refresh.

The next option it looked like was to edit about:studies or about:profiles but I am unable to access those the same way I can access about:config

I'm using Firefox Nightly on an Android 15 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an s25 Ultra and everyrhing was working fine with firefox but within the span of an hour, I would do a search and any search engine I was use (I usually use Duck Duck Go) would make the font very small rather than use the Automatic font sizing option. It seems to have turned off on its own even when showing as active. What could be causing this and how to make the text fit to screen again?

Like most crossword sites, only the active word is supposed to be highlighted. Starting late on 11/19, the highlighting has gone haywire. I have attached an image.

Maybe it deselects when the focus shifts, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it shows which square is active, maybe it doesn't. Eventually, I back up a page and then return, which clears the highlighting but not the words.

I've tried actually quitting Firefox and restarting, but it didn't help.

Thank you for any help!
