Firefox for Android Community Forum

I'd like to suggest a few features that would make browsing on Android much better. First, please add an option to hide the system status bar while browsing, so web pages can use the full screen for a cleaner, more immersive experience. Second, it would be great to have a true full-screen mode when watching reels or short vertical videos on any website, without the address bar or other interface elements getting in the way. Third, please let users pin their favorite extensions to the toolbar or main menu, so they can reach them in one tap instead of digging through the extensions menu every time. Finally, I'd love an option to show the open tabs and new tab buttons at the bottom of the screen instead of the top, since that's much easier to reach with one hand on today's large phones. I believe these changes would make Firefox more comfortable and competitive on mobile. Thank you for considering my suggestions, and keep up the great work!

On my PC I have an extensive bookmarks toolbar with Firefox. I now have a new Samsung Tab A11+ tablet, synced to Firefox on my PC, but I don't see a way to put the bookmarks toolbar on the main Firefox page on my tablet. I'm having to dig through layers of menus to access the toolbar every time I want to see a website. Is there some secret way to do this?

I have a Googlebook (laptop running Android) and I have Firefox Android installed. Currently it just looks like a scaled up phone browser. Is there a way to have it detect the "Android Desktop Environment" and be more like a desktop browser, mainly a bookmarks bar and a tab bar with vertical tabs? It would also be nice if it could handle mouse events (right click, etc). Thank you for your time.

I don't understand why it's not situated at the center but a bit higher than it.

I just updated my mobile browser for Android to the latest version and yet another unnecessary UI tweak has hit. This time is the icon next to the address bar for the tabs— why is it so small and hard to read? It's their any way to change back to box? Every time I update the mobile browser I regret it.

Whenever I do a search, the default setting for Desktop is set to On. This makes the results too small for me to read. This requires me to change the Desktop setting to Off. How do I change the Desktop default setting to Off?

I know I will probably have to live with that (nonsense) new UI. But how to at least disable UI animations, so that the new menu appears immediately when I open it? I have reduced animations enabled in Android settings but firefox doesn't honor it.

Hello everyone.

Previously, I used [https://letrasdiferentesfnt.com/] to change my font when using an older version of Firefox, but now I can't change my font anymore. What should I do?

I have animations disabled in Android, but Firefox seems to not honour it as of 1-2 days ago. When I close a tab (viewing tabs, swiping left/right on a tab) it now does some slow fade out instead of just being swiped off and disappearing like it used to.

I searched through the settings but can't find a way to disable this behaviour.

I have selected 'Dark/Auto' in my customization settings. I assumed this setting was meant strictly for the Firefox app UI theme, not to automatically force dark mode onto web pages. However, the issue now is that websites are being forcibly rendered in dark mode. I actually appreciate forced dark mode because it renders images and colored text cleanly without messing them up. The real problem is that I can't seem to find any option to turn it off. When I try enabling dark mode using a website's own native toggle, it displays inverted/negative colors, whereas light mode works properly. So my question and issue come down to this: how do I disable the feature that automatically forces dark mode on the websites I browse? (I haven't been able to find this setting anywhere.)

Description: In the mobile version of Firefox, the top browser toolbar containing the address bar does not hide when entering text into a text field. As a result, a significant amount of screen space is taken up, especially when the on-screen keyboard is open.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a page in Firefox on a mobile device. 2. Tap any text field. 3. Open the on-screen keyboard. 4. Start entering text. 5. Observe the top browser toolbar containing the address bar.

Actual result: The browser toolbar with the address bar remains visible while entering text and does not hide.

Expected result: When text input begins and the on-screen keyboard appears, the top browser toolbar should hide to provide more space for the content and text field.

Environment:

- Browser: Firefox for Android - Version: 153.0.4 - Device: Mobile IQOO Z10 - Screen orientation: Portrait

Attachment: A screenshot demonstrating the issue is attached to the report.

Additional information: The issue occurs specifically while entering text: even though the on-screen keyboard is open, the browser's top toolbar remains visible.

Hello!

I would like to report a UI display issue in Firefox for Android, version 153.0.4.

In the tab overview, the bottom bar displays the tracker-blocking information in Russian as “заблокировано 6 трекеров” (“6 trackers blocked”). However, the text does not fit in the available space and partially goes behind the three-dot menu button on the right, so the text is cut off.

I have attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Please check the layout and positioning of the bottom bar elements to ensure that the tracker-blocking text is fully visible and does not overlap with the three-dot button.

Thank you!
