Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.

I love Firefox. Haven't used ANYTHING else for years

Android 10

I don't use Facebook. When I click on a company's Facebook search result to open in Firefox... It tries to open in another app that can't open it, like a maps app or something like that.

Firefox is set as my choice as browser to open links with.

To be clear, when I click on the search result to open it, I am only given two choices that I can't use and don't want. This seems to only happen with Facebook. It doesn't give Facebook as a choice, which I don't use anyway

Thank you Dr Mark

I'm running the latest Firefox for Android (v118.0) on a UniMax U676CL. Every time I try to download anything (image, file, video, etc), when it completes, the phone's mobile & data network connections are IMMEDIATELY DROPPED (eg. no bars, says 'no SIM card', etc), then around 15 seconds later, they return. Very strange. This has been happening for a few weeks (and a few FireFox updates), and until I recently discovered that Chrome (which I don't like) worked fine, I blamed the carrier / phone... which obviously isn't the case. ANY IDEAS?

When trying to open a bookmarked site, for example "https://mstdn.social/@noelreports", it suggests the site up until having typed in "noe". So, I can type in "n", "o" and "e" and get it suggested all the time. But as soon as "l" is added, the suggestion disappears. But this "l" is part of both the page title and the address, so that is really strange. Very irregularly, when I delete the last letter and retype it, the bookmark suddenly appears. On the synced Windows 10 installation of Firefox, everything works flawlessly.

Clicking through and opening the youtube app and the videos play.

I've looked around but can't find any setting to fix it.

I am using firefox on android device running android 12. Have tried websites like: youtube, 9gag, and basic searches with duckduckgo and the websites don't load, or no indication of loading happens, or sometimes slow loading occurs and stops after progessing midway of total bar length. I see the same issue on firefox beta, but on chrome. I am using ublock origin as an addon. On the main browser i have a bunch of open and inactive tabs, but on beta almost no tabs. The only thing that might unblock my issue is to disable my phone's private dns which points to google or adguard. But even with it off, i still see the same issue appearing.

2) When playing 4k videos at 60fps on YouTube, all my android devices with either Fenix/Developer installed, lose about 90% of frames. Even 4k 30fps videos do not stutter/lose any frames.

I have Firefox (Beta) installed on a Samsung S8 Android, and its sole purpose in life is to display a live videostream (live TV program from https://canalcurta.tv.br/viainternet ).

The problem is that the internet link in/from Brazil is "variable", meaning the live stream will hang - sometimes for a few seconds, and sometimes "forever".

So I have two questions:

1) Is there a buffer setting for live streaming video. (It does not matter if the stream is 2 minutes late! ;) ) (I don't want to "load entire video before watching", only have a very large buffer for live videos.)

2) Is there a way to make Firefox auto-restart a video stream which has hung more than 1 minute (or whatever)?

Thank you very much! Your help is much appreciated! <3

I use an external password manager on my Android phone - Nextcloud Passwords. It works with Google Chrome, Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo, and other browsers. However, the main Firefox browser does not allow me to use the autofill feature with this manager app. Here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. On a page with a username/password field, select one of the fields (give it focus)
  2. The soft-keyboard appears and an "Autofill" popup appears (good!)
  3. Pressing on the "Autofill" popup opens my password manager (good)
  4. Selecting the password to fill in the manager app returns me to the page
  5. Another popup should appear with the name of the site password selected in the manager app, and it looks like it does briefly, but another "Autofill" popup appears immediately. No username/password is filled.

This results in an endless loop of pressing the "Autofill" popup, selecting the password in the manager app, then the "Autofill" popup appears again.

System Information: Samsung Galaxy S22 Android 13 Kernel version 5.10.136 Build number TP1A.220624.014.S901U1UEU3CWGI Firefox Android version 117.1.0
