Firefox для Android: форум сообщества

Hi,

I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android phone becomes noticeably slow whenever I open certain video or streaming pages. The browser doesn’t crash, but the page takes a long time to respond, and scrolling becomes choppy until the video fully loads.

I’ve tried clearing the cache, disabling add-ons, and testing on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. The issue only seems to happen on Firefox — the same sites load smoothly on other browsers.

Is this a known performance limitation, or is there something in the settings I should adjust? I’m not sure if it’s related to media decoding or just heavy websites.

Thanks for any guidance.

The text selection toolbar (often just called the text selection menu or contextual selection toolbar) is used throughout my Android/Samsung phone. It appears whenever you long-press text, a textbox, or URL bar, and shows actions like Paste, Copy, Select all, and sometimes Extract text depending on your keyboard/OEM.

In the lastest Android Firefox app update, the "Clipboard" option is no longer present in the app on the contextual selection toolbar.

This is a major inconvenience. I'm a longtime Firefox user and this missing feature is a huge inefficiency problem. This means I cannot easily use text copied or cut from elsewhere on my phone and easily access it without individually and tediously copying and pasting individual text content.

Please see the attached image and gifs showing contextual selection toolbars with and without the "clipboard" option.

So either firefox or android (probably firefox) just updated, and it's made a mess of the browser. First of all, the layout of everything has changed - the traffic light menu's at the bottom of th e screen now, completely different, there's a pull bar to see stuff that was previously readily available, the tab icons are longer for some reason but I think they're also skinnier? The hell? It's just generally worse than what it was before. I hate every part of it and want it rolled back on that basis alone, because I actually liked how it worked before, and if I want to change how my phone works I'll do it myself. Stop messing with my stuff, mozilla, I don't come into your house and start moving all your furniture around and putting your cutlery in the wrong drawers, and I'd appreciate it if you returned the courtesy.

But, as annoying - read, infuriating and unnecessary - as that is, that's not the real problem. Oh no. No, that's a personal issue, I'd either learn to live with it or I'd find a modification workaround to get my old UI back. No, the problem is that my previously smooth tab screen - you know, the one where you can see all your tabs open - now lags. Noticeably. How do you mess that up? Seriously, what did you do? It freezes when I'm scrolling up and down! How! How do you do that!

In summary, update bad for UI reasons (please stop moving things for no reason, or at least give us an option to move it back, some of us hate that Really Quite A Lot, to the point where we left chrome over it) but also for previously-nonexistent latency where there absolutely should not be any. I'm on a Fairphone 5, this isn't an ancient brick that barely runs. How do you update something to be actively less functional? Please just roll it back. And if you only take one bit of feedback from me ever, stop touching the UI. It's really annoying. Please. Just don't.

My keyboard pops up randomly and semi-transparently while also being unusable. It's also preventing from interacting with the webpage behind it. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I removed the authenticator app and moved to google authenticator. Now, when I try to sign in it asks authenticator app code and I didn't have recovery backup codes. Can you disable two factor authentication on my account?

I use Mozilla specifically to avoid the AI slop Google is pushing. I am deeply disappointed with all the AI scam bloatware suddenly slowing down my devices and compromising the integrity of my devices.

The new CEO is rapidly squandering over 20 years of trust I had in this company.

Deeply disappointed

If I'm on a website and let's say I'm reading an article and I'm midway, if I switch to another app momentarily for a few seconds (eg go to a messenger app to send a quick message) most of the time when I get back to Firefox it seems to reload the app and refreshes the page. This makes me lose my scroll position and progress. This doesn't happen on other browsers like Vivaldi,it feels like aggressive memory management. Please fix this if possible because I don't think it's my phone's issue , I have a Xiaomi 14 Ultra with 16gb of ram and Android 16 (latest hyper os 3.0.3)!

Where is the issue tracker for Firefox Nightly on Android? The last few updates have caused the keyboard to block the bottom part of webpages, making it impossible for me to see what I'm typing.

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

I like the old design better. The new Firefox adjusted for Android thingy is annoying. I want to go back to the Firefox version I used yesterday and everyday before.

Using Firefox on Android, occasionally hitting the phone's back button will go back twice. Hitting forward will then go forward twice. The middle stop is lost!

This is frustrating.

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!

Very difficult browser to use on Android Note 20. I'm on my third day of trying to block Facebook ads on my Note20 Android phone using Firefox browser and UBlock extension. So far, no matter the UBlock settings, the Facebook page icons are grayed out rectangles and I cannot distinguish what is going on.

I'm giving my old Galaxy S7 to a friend, I've got her a prepaid SIM and put it into the S7 (my own SIM has gone into a new S22). I've managed to set up the S7 to sync with her data via DAVx5, Thunderbird was easy to set up thanks to the QR-Code export, and various other things worked as expected.

BUT she uses firefox sync, and so do I. I deinstalled firefox on the S7, and reinstalled it, and changed to her sync account - but all my own personal data (bookmarks, chronology etc) are still there. That's not only really annoying, but also a breach of my private sphere.

Google KI tells me to give her sync account a new password, before doing that decoupling from sync on all used devices; we have five, so that would be a real pain. The only other option I see is a factory reset and then repeat all the work setting up the S7.

So what I'm asking for is an option when firefox is deinstalled, or as an extra option in the settings, to delete all stored personal data.

Dear Support Team,

The past few months there is a major issue occurring in Firefox for Android. Whenever, I switch apps or i.e. go to the home screen, all tabs I have opened in the browser get reloaded automatically without my input. Furthermore, I searched online about this problem and one user, named Zeyu Zhong, had previously submitted a review on Google Play explaining this issue. Could you examine this based on user feedback and my own attachments in this email?

Yours trully,

Ilias Kslr
