Firefox for Android Community Forum

Sometimes I am using the youtube app to watch something on a TV, but want to quickly look up a video for someone else on my browser at the same time. I have my settings to "always ask" me whether or not to open links in their native app or stay in FireFox. But recently the setting has not been sticking. I've had to reset the settings at least three times today. What's going on? Am I doing something wrong in settings?

I'm using Firefox for Android version 152.0.1 (Build #2016167575) on a Galaxy S24 Plus phone running Android 16.

Firefox is set as the default browser. It always opens whenever a task requires a browser. But when I try to open an HTML file by tapping or long pressing it, the dialog window that opens doesn't show Firefox as an option. Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

I have checked the settings in "Apps that can open links", all apps there show "In other app" In "Default apps", Firefox is under "Browser app". Screenshot_#2_20260624.jpg

What do I need to do so Firefox is either the default app for HTML files or at least shows up in the "Dialog window"? Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

Thank you!

Why is there no FIFA world cup widget in my Firefox for Android, version 152.0.1? I have looked through all the settings, but there is nothing. When I use the search feature in settings, there is a search result when searching for "world cup" which redirects me to the "Homepage settings", but there is nothing.

I am using Firefox for Android, version 150.3. I have found that enabling the 'Hide toolbar when scrolling' option in settings causes search result pages to load incompletely. I have tried searching for other content to confirm whether this is a bug. I will use a search for 'bbc news' as an example to illustrate the issue. When 'Hide toolbar when scrolling' is turned on, the webpage fails to load all the way to the bottom. Only when I turn off this feature does the page load properly. I have made a screen recording video to show the specific issue. Since the feedback page does not support video uploads, please contact me via email: [edited email from public community support forum]. Additionally, I hope the feedback page can support Chinese, as I currently have to rely on translation to report this issue.

I recently started using Firefox for Android and noticed it offers a clean interface, smooth browsing experience, and strong privacy features compared to many other mobile browsers.

I’d like to know more about the best settings, extensions, and privacy features available in Firefox for Android. Also, what are the main advantages of using it over other Android browsers for daily browsing, speed, and security?

Would appreciate tips from experienced users regarding performance optimization, battery usage, and recommended add-ons. Thanks!

On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
