I'm i was not sure how to open an issue on Github since its not possible, also i can't create a pull request as non collaborator for this issue.

It would be very kind from the dev's to add an shortcut for android smart tv's like newpipe and libretube are currently doing it. It should be (hopefully) a small code snippet.

This is (hopefully) done by the AndroidManifest.xml with:

<intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
           </intent-filter>

https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/blob/2ef1600886cc61a95982a73c83cdc79319e57e51/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L104

That might be it since:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amozilla-mobile%2Ffirefox-android+androidmanifest.xml&type=code

looks rather slim compared to the launcher options.

Or other options regarding potential fixes for the issue (Looks like LibreTube is using https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/blob/2ef1600886cc61a95982a73c83cdc79319e57e51/app/src/main/java/com/github/libretube/helpers/ShortcutHelper.kt but maybe used for something different

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

maybe this: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/601b1ef742aa9bb0b8bb765b86247a132adf34e3/app/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/settings/ContentSettingsFragment.java#L60  ?)

Thank you for considering to add this small but handy feature in order to be able to launch the browser from the smart tv's shortcut menu.

I hope i did not offend any one by opening this. Thanks for the good work.

Hello, I already have the stable release of Firefox for Android installed on my Samsung Galaxy A50 smartphone. What exactly will happen if Firefox Beta for Android is installed alongside the stable release of Firefox for Android? Will there be new app settings for the Beta version on the phone or are the stable release and the Beta app settings combined? I am signed into YouTube in the stable release Firefox for Android version. Once the Beta version is installed, do I have to sign out of the stable release version and sign into YouTube on the Beta version? The stable release version of Firefox for Android has unresolved issues, especially regarding YouTube, that the Beta version configurations may be able fix. Please let me know the answers to these questions and any other concerns I should know about before I install the Beta version of Firefox for Android alongside the stable release version. Thank you.

Due to the Firewall of our government, we Chinese couldn't download Firefox Android on Google Play Store without violating the law. And, neither Github nor F-droid provides the service for users in China to download the app directly.

How could we download it?

I have a few questions about the storage space used by Firefox v60.00 on Android 6.0.

Here is a picture of the storage space used up by Firefox on my phone

Cache has been cleared.

Data however is using up a large amount of space (1.3GB).

uBlock origin version 1.16.6 is the only plugin/addon I have installed.

I don't have any downloads.

By comparison Chrome browser on my phone takes up less than 100MB of storage space.

Questions

What is a normal clean install size for firefox on Android ?

What is deleted if I clear the 1.3GB of Data? Will my bookmarks be deleted. Will uBlock origin be deleted (my only installed plugin).

How can I backup my bookmarks to a file?

How do I determine what is using up all this storage space in Firefox, and prevent it from happening again?

Thanks for your responses.

Hello, I recently got a new Android phone. On my previous Android phone I used Firefox without creating an account and saved hundreds of bookmarks. I would like to move those bookmarks to Firefox on my new phone. Please tell me how to do this. Thank you!

Buna seara facebookul meu a fost blocat de carte echipa de la facebook ..nu mai am cartela și nici e-mail care lam folosit la înregistrare..dar tot îmi da sa ma conectez cu acest browser..ma puteți ajuta vă rog mulțumesc!!!

Was painstakingly transferring my collections of bookmarked links from my old Android phone to my new one (please fix this so entire collections can be moved as one, rather than individual components). Not halfway through yet; all was going well, and suddenly I got the message "Unable to send - Retry." Multiple tries; no further success. Nothing had changed re the wifi connection for either phone. Hoping this is something simple.

How can download any webpage as PDF for offline sharing in new updates. In earlier version I could do it from: tools-save as PDF. But now the save as PDF does not work.

Please solve the issue.

Android 13 / Firefox 111.1.0

Since a short while it seems that Firefox for Android opens pdf-files directly in the browser instead of offering the download option (as it used to be). My Samsung Tab6 Light shows the pdf in compressed fonts, thus it is mostly unreadable. How can I download the pdf instead of viewing it? Or: How can I download the pdf to save it on my device? If I tap the opened pdf a function 'Share' is offered, but then when I try to share via Email nothing is shared!??

Thank you kindly for any support in this. Ueli (Switzerland)
