I launched Firefox the usual way with a private browsing shortcut today and it opened a regular, non-private window. I checked the settings to select again "Add private browsing shortcut" and went in the app drawer to make sure I was tapping the right one. Still, a regular, non-private window. Rebooting the phone did nothing. App is in the latest release version.

Opening a private window is still possible by tapping the mask icon in the initial non-private window or by long pressing the shortcut and choosing New private tab, but that in no way replaces actually launching the browser in private mode as default like the app itself promises and used to do. According to Reddit, I'm not the only one experiencing this.

How software gets updates with such a glaring flaw is beyond me and I can't decide whether it is worse if this is an accident or intentional.

when I download an image from a web page I get a pop-up near the bottom that shows that the download was completed successfully. while normally this may appear to be a useful feature this has the primary issue in that it is blocking an important component of a frequent used website.

Swiping away the notification does not allow me to interact with website control and I must change pages or wait some indeterminate amount of time.

I would highly desire a method to disable this on page pop-up.

Pop-ups of any sort have been the bane of users existence since early days of browsers, adding your own does not mean it's necessarily good.

I have attached an example of the pop-up I am talking about.

Before the update that just dropped, whenever I would open the app, it would open in private browsing by default. After the update it opens a regular non private tab. Any way to fix this?

Out of the blue you asked me to sign in after over 5yrs. Then you tell me my user name in use. Yes by me. So I changed password and then Google got involved. So I tried me Google sign in. Didn't do anything probably made things worse. How can I sign back in again?

Hello, the problem is that when playing music on the vk.com website in the background, it stops after a few seconds.

In other cases, it also plays until the end in the background, but does not play the next track.
I would also like to add a couple of buttons

"Next Track" (⏭),

"Previous Track" (⏮) to the "Music Control Widget" that appears in notifications on my smartphone.
Also, please add a progress bar that currently doesn't support rewinding from the "notifications" window or movement animations.

Dear all,

i want to create printable or downloadable sheets in A4 dimensions. (Working in Firefox for desktop and others)

As i tried it on Firefox for android, it seems like the page is first converted in an letter-format pdf, which is then printed on A4, which messes up the document. (Additional margins at the sides and bottom.) The Share->Save as PDF-Document looks just like the wrapping letter-page.

Is there an option (css-rule/selector, custom meta-tag or the like) i can use to get the PDF as A4-format?

thank you in advance. best regards Michael

I would prefer to use Firefox as my password manager in Xiaomi HyperOS system. In display over other apps, Firefox isn't listed, it does provide the option to select as password manager however. Will this affect the performance? Thanks.

This has been the most insane thing I have had to deal with on firefox, there are some "entries" on my android history (NOT PRESENT ON DESKTOP) and no matter what I do they are still present on history. -deleted all history after removing sync - clear data -uninstall -not a bookmark -removed android from synced devices No matter what the website is still there, hiding "history" from search results hides obviously everything but that's not a solution, keep in mind while synced the website will show under history of my android device but not on my desktop

Normally, files I download are saved to the Downloads folder, but today I saved a file (save link as) and it was downloaded to the 'Movies' folder, is this a bug? I was in this website (https://www.eev3.com/mp3/mmwmdhhvm.html) and click the '歌词下载' button to download file, it's a .lrc file, and I found it in 'Movies' folder.

Don't have a clue which topic this should be under. Galaxy S24 Ultra phone, had it for a while. Don't use it to buy anything. Tower is for that. All of a sudden I have been getting pop ups at any time the phone is on. I use the phone to check blood sugar. Turn the phone on, hit the app for checking and almost instantly I get a popup. If/when I motion lower left up to get rid of that, the screen goes to a web site with a firefox logo on the top of the screen. I have never accessed this website to the best of my knowledge. The site is https://2edm.4upic.xyz/ . I am using Bitdefender and Malware bytes. Took the phone to my phone company, left it with them and nothing good came of that trip. If I leave the phone screen turned on, within a couple minutes another popup shows up. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to completely wipe the phone and start from scratch. Is there anything I can do to get rid of these problems. Thanks, Charlie
