Firefox for Android Community Forum

Create a Firefox addon that blocks AI search result summaries. They are intrusive and unhelpful. Mozilla Firefox have acknowledged the community's desire for less AI usage, and now is the time to put this into practice, by giving users tools to block AI during their browsing experience.

When starting firefox on android and pc, it will take a long time (in relation to other browsers) to display any webpage I gave set as default. Even Google search takes a long time to display. It's not the speed at which te page is loaded, is the time between the start of firefox and any action. Even the adresbar stays empty during this time as if firefox is stalled. I've installed a fresh Firefox instalation and removed all add-ons (recommended or not) and Firefox still start ms slow. On my pc I can see the cpu and ssd speeds and for a second of 15, while Firefox loads, the cpu usage seems normal (6 core with no other program using all cpu cores or without any cores above 15%) and the ssd (NVMe) isn't even above 1%.

And with the android version, switching temporary to another program (to look something up) causes the webpage te become blank or black and requires an refresh (for instance, if I switch to another app, this page will be blank, or back and all this text wil be gone because I have to reload thus page) it only affects the web pages, not Firefox itself (the menu an adresbar wil stil display correct) and the refresh, no matter how fast it loads after the initial firefox start, Will be as slow as if firefox is (again) starting.

I do not want to switch to another browser. Even with these annoying problems, but if these problems can be removed, I will enjoy firefox even more!

First, the Dark Reader extension does not work properly. Often, pages are displayed in black. I have to disable it. Second: X pages are not displayed (boring problem with strict mode) In both cases, I have no problem using Duck Duck Go.

Why does the mozilla not give my mobile the ability to synch the passwords? I mean it says that the camera used to sign in.lust be from the Firefox app itself but what is the firefox app if not the website on my mobile?

Whatever changes were implemented around start of March 2026 have made bookmarks almost completely unusable for me on Firefox Android. I have a set of bookmarks shared between my phone and my synced desktops, and they're all in folders within the Bookmarks Menu folder under bookmarks.

Since the change I mentioned, when I go to edit the folder a mobile webpage bookmark is in, it shows me the bookmark details, and when I click to change the folder, it shows me the Bookmarks Menu folder and the Bookmarks Toolbar folder and one other folder. Normally at this point I would expand the Bookmarks menu folder to see the subfolders and select one. But after I click on Bookmarks Menu it takes many minutes to expand (I don't know how long; I needed to do other things so I went away and came back to it) and many minutes to expand any lower layers in the hierarchy.

This is completely unacceptable. If you offer a bookmarks service, it should be possible to expand the folders of bookmarks within 3 seconds. It is completely impractical for it to take multiple minutes to expand each folder level, especially since Firefox always collapses all the folders before the next time I try to edit a bookmark folder.

Please fix this ASAP!!

I have downloaded Firefox for my default web browser. However I do not have a search bar unless I open up the app itself. How do I get a search bar without having to go through the app every time? Thank you for your help.

Hello, Android app settings for Firefox reports 1.43. GB of "user data". This excludes cache, which I have cleared. As I do most of my browsing on my desktop (as I am now doing), this firefox-under-android has been little used. I have 1009 browsing history addresses. I usually select "necessary cookies only". I have no extensions. All storage based site settings are set to "ask to allow": I don't allow. I have cleared cashed images and files as well as downloads. There appears to be no means in the Android app of managing cookies on a site-by-site basis. What can I do to minimise user data? Thank you for your attention.

Backup and sync is not working on the phone and it's starting to piss me off beyond belief because this is why I got rid of Firefox in the first goddamn place. The sync button is not working at all I cannot get it to sync at all to my desktop nothing is working and I can't access my passwords I can't access nothing.

For at least 25 years Mozilla/Firefox have saved my passwords. Two days ago the column of passwords I am unable to open. What is problem and how to repair? I am 82 years old and under medical care and need my passwords of which many will never be used anymore.

Recently updated the app and now the search bar is broken and doesn't show any suggestions from the web/engine. It doesn't matter what engine I'm using as I've checked multiple to see if the problem persists. The only thing that works is Firefox suggest and all it brings up is some obscure random searches from my browsing history from years ago instead of suggestions from the Web on top. If I enter settings, toggle things on and off, then return to new tab then it will work for one time, but then it's back to how it was.

I have issues with Firefox when I am accessing my Schwab account. I cannot access all the functionality of the site with Firefox. If I switch to Chrome or Edge the site works fine.

I would like to ask why you still have to enforce the ADguard ban after you have withdrawn from the China branch. Your competitor, the Edge, can be used for advertising. Why is the ban still not lifted?

This problem is worst when doing online shopping. When entering card details, I will often need to switch to my banking app to confirm a transaction. When I return to Firefox this will then reload the page, usually losing the transaction state and making it impossible to complete the purchase.

I do not use auto rotate to switch to landscape format but the manual rotate button which shows up when you disable auto rotate. When i play a video in the Firefox Browser on Android and rotate with the button it rotates to landscape. When I then play a video (for example on youtube, but not only there) and open it in fullscreen and go out off fullscreen and want to rotate back to portrait the button just does not appear and i am stuck in portait format. I need to close Firefox and start it again for it to work properly again.

I hope I am right in asking for help here since this problem does not occur with Chrome but if I am wrong please tell me where to ask for help.
