Firefox for Android Community Forum

Video are stuttering when I play on YouTube.com as well as on streaming websites. I have used firefox beta to modify "layout.frame_rate" and "layout.throttled_frame_rate" to 60. My phone is Motorola's Signature. Video is working for now but please look into it and fix this permanently.

There's an issue with Android Firefox where a tab sometimes just suddenly freezes and there's nothing I can do to unfreeze it. I cleared cache, restarted the app, refreshes the page and nothing works. The only thing I can do is to copy the link, close the tab, and open the link on a new tab.

For years now... It's crippling, every time I leave the Firefox browser... It refreshes when I return.

5,000 times in the last two years since I got my Motorola play 2023 phone... I try to login to a site and have to click on messages to get a code and the browser refreshes and I have to start over.

1,000 hours of nonsense you have caused me. I couldn't get food stamps or Medicaid because of your bullshit

It's called persistent Internet you fucktards and you need to learn about it

I built netsys.com, delta.net, Damocles.com, inetexpress.com, USA.net and medicare.com.

I worked for ANS for 6 years building the first fault tollerant internet backbone in America.

It's fucking 2026 assholes... I should be able to multi-task... Like Windows 1.0 back in 1986.

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Rednote 10 pro mobile phone. I have been a longstanding user of Firefox on numerous devices.

However I am having real difficulties on my phone when switching away from the app and returning (for example to check a code for MFA). I have checked battery settings (unrestricted), background autostart (enabled). I've tried locking the app in the recent processes list, in developer settings "don't keep activities" is off and background processes is set to standard limit.

Even with only 1 other app in memory every time I activate another app and return the page reloads and I lose what I was doing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have the most recent update.

Other browsers on my phone such as Chrome do not exhibit this behaviour - when I switch apps and back again the page in the browser is retained.

Is this a known fault with this type of phone? Am I doing something obviously wrong? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

First, I press fullscreen mode on any video on the firefox browser. Second, when I enter fullscreen mode the pop-up that notiifes me that I entered fullscreen mode appears but it takes multiple minutes to disappear.

When I leave FF and open it again after some time I would get a black screen and the app would not show the content on the current page or query a new search for several seconds which gets annoying when doing multitasking

I have a poco X7 pro if that matters

For some reason, opening the tab list on Firefox and Firefox Beta on Android takes 4+ seconds and it's very annoying.

This is on a completely fresh install of Firefox with literally no changes or tabs. It doesn't matter how many tabs I have. It takes about the same amount of time with 0 tabs or 100. This didn't use to happen with Firefox versions from over a year ago. There's something about the new method that caused this for me.

I'm on Android 10 on a Galaxy Note 9. Nothing else (meaningful) running in the background or anything.

When i am trying to copy the link or share the webpage to somewhere in my android(samsung). It got stuck not like working, but it did not copy or open then sharing window instantly it takes time to open the sharing window or link to copy, it have to send firefox to background and when I came to it then it do my work, so it is so messy so I have to go for other browser most of the time.

My keyboard is stucking while searching on firefox , even after pressing enter it doesn't goes i had tried with floating keyboard it doesn't stucked, also tried with another keyboard and address bar at bottom it doesn't get worked, please solve this problem or i would shift to another browser

The new video and background feature for the Android phones where the little icon comes up in the top seems to be using up an enormous amount of memory because when I try to switch between things I can't it just delays so long I try to shut it off and it won't shut off right away it takes like 2-3 minutes unless I go in and manually Force shut it something you need to look into the future

When I switch to another app on my phone for 30-40 seconds, the tab that I had open decides that it should refresh. This is super annoying when trying to fill out a form and the information you get from another appz and the form reloads and all the info is gone

I do not know is this from my os or no, but this is an issue that breaks my experience almost all the time, and I am not the only one experiencing it.

When accessing only specific web pages, the screen freezes during loading. Backing, refresh, etc., are not working at all. The only way is to close the tab. I'm curious about the solution.

While on a webpage, changing to a different app on mobile sometimes causes the whole browser to bug, blanking out the page and refusing to load. Sometimes when this happens, waiting a while will allow the page to load, but often i have to clear cache for it to work.

I am using Firefox version 151.0.2 on android version 16, but I have been having this issue for months, since before 151.0.1. In some fillable fields on some sites, words duplicate as I type and/or the cursor jumps into the middle of a word. This is most frequently triggered by backspacing but can also happen when using numbers or symbols, such as when filling in a date with slashes or dashes. I've also witnessed it happen seemingly randomly.

Some situations in which this has occurred: -the tag field when creating or reblogging a post on the browser version of tumblr -the birth date field on my state's DMV website when trying to renew my car registration -multiple billing fields when trying to enter card information on a ticket vending site -this text box, the one I'm typing in right now to report this issue. Backspacing and using these dashes for this list both triggered the bug during the course of writing this up.

This has gone from merely irritating to actually being an obstacle (in the DMV example I could not get the field to accept any date format without duplicating and had to use the little popup calendar to select the day instead. What if that had not been a option?). My phone says both its software and Firefox are up to date. What else can I do?
