When I open a new tab, it says "I'm a temporary text to indicate you're on the new Tab Fragment"

Seems like a bug and I didn't know the best place to report it

Yes i tapped sync and on my mac's firefox, the android device is not even shown .. i can see my windows firefox there and see open tabs from there but not from android

why doens't android firefox sync ?

Trying to sync to Firefox on my desktop and it's not giving me the sync and save data option on my phone. How do I sync the too? I want my passwords to update between both and it doesn't and it's been an ongoing issue.

I want to change my download directory on the mobile app, I've tried the solution of this post, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore, I can't find any other solution

I have an Android S21, and S25. I want to backup tabs, browser history, cache, and cookies to the new S25. I cannot find any way to do that aside from Firefox sync which is NOT what I want.

Does anyone have a good solution? I need to send the S21 back to my cell provider soon

Hello everyone, my name is Francesco and I have a big problem that I can't solve in any way! I just can’t seem to solve a synchronization issue between two Firefox 135.0.1 (64-bit) installations on a Laptop and a PC (both running Linux Mint 22) and a Firefox 135.0.1 (Build #2016074239) on Android. Can someone please help me? I'm desperate!

Let’s start from the beginning: For a very long time, every time I connected to the internet with Firefox on my Laptop or mobile, my bookmarks would get completely messed up: folders duplicated endlessly, some empty, others identical to the original ones. The same happened with the bookmarks themselves: separators almost all moved to the bottom and multiple duplicates of my countless bookmarks.

After several failed attempts following posts from other users who had the same or a similar problem, as well as some Firefox support how-tos, I decided to try a different approach, which was also described in a post.

First, after logging out of my account on all three devices, I backed up my bookmarks from my PC in different formats (.html, .json), and after closing Firefox, I also backed up the cookies.sqlite, favicons.sqlite, and places.sqlite files—just in case! Then, I deleted all folders and bookmarks from the other two devices.

I then spent the whole afternoon cleaning up my bookmarks on the PC: removing duplicates and redundant folders, organizing separators and bookmarks the way I wanted, and making new backups as mentioned above. After that, I logged into my account from my mobile, triggered a sync from there, then logged into the other devices and started the synchronization on them as well.

But it didn’t work. 😞

PC and Laptop synced beautifully, everything was perfect, but the mobile, despite showing that it was syncing, remained empty—and still is.

I tried several forced sync methods as suggested in some Firefox how-tos (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1482205 and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-set-firefox-sync-firefox-android), and I also followed procedures from other posts where users had similar issues, but nothing worked.

I even tried different approaches: logging out and back in first with my PC, then with my mobile; replacing all bookmarks with the ones I had exported in good condition; checking if there was a new update on Google Play. But my mobile remains completely empty—no bookmarks at all.

So, after more than four hours of trial and error, I'm losing my mind 🤯, and I’m also getting seriously exhausted (it’s now 2 AM, and I’ve been up since 5 AM!).

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? A plugin? A folder on the mobile where I can manually place the saved files? Maybe a well-aimed hammer strike in a specific spot on the phone? Anything? At this point, even just a good joke might help me get through the frustration. 😜

Now, I just hope I can get some sleep—I’m so stressed that… 😭

Best regards to all, see you next time, and... good night!

P.S.: Sorry for the long post. 😳

Ho un samsung S21 e da quando Firefox si e' aggiornato alla versione 140.0.3, andando indietro non ci sono piu' le pagine che ho cercato. Vorrei quindi tornare alla versione precedente, e' possibil? Qualcuno mi dice come si fa? Grazie.

I have notice that firefox android v136.0.1 consume more battery than the onther famous browser (edge, chrome, bhave) in android 14. I request to make firefox android battery efficient.

Hello,

I'm an older person who's still learning how to use my phone.

I recently noticed a symbol I don't understand. It's on the right edge of the Navigation Bar and is a box with 3 lines (text?). When I click on it, it turns the page black and simplfies what I'm seeing. I've added a couple of images below. It's even on this page I'm using now.

What is this?

Thanks!

There used to be a forward arrow option in the three button menu. Now there is not and I cannot find out where it is or how to navigate forward.

This seems like a bug because navigating forward is a core function of browsing. Anyone know where it went or how to fix this?

I using firefox for android, and due I can't afford new ones, the second-hand devices broken often.

Well, also I don't had "desktop computer" in terms of OS. Because, tough, Samsung S series devices used as desktop device, via DEX station. I had only one working device, usually, but now succeded to achieve a second one, before the working one was quit. There's an option, to pair with a QR code.

Why that function tied to OS? Which made sense, which function or feature made it "desktop only" accessible?

We are now in 2025, meanwhile all the devs are basically thinking, out there nothing was changed. The primary computing now heavily switched to android based devices, and just sounds sick, I still tied to an outdated technology, to get smooth workaround.

The options offered in the settings do not work to disable this trash feature. I don't want a damn popup menu for any google play link I open when I check a game on the play store.

I don't want to disable the play store to stop the browser nagging me about opening a link in when I don't want to open any link in any app. This same issue has been posted before one year ago and is still present.
