Форум поддержки Firefox для Android

I am new to firefox mobile browser. I am not sure how much web security will provide by this app. I am using MS Edge browser in computer and Google Chrome in mobile but I never found any virus or any security issues till now . Thank you.

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox as the default browser on my Android phone. When I used Chrome, I received emails from advocacy groups asking me to petition my government representatives to take action on specific issues. If I agree, I am directed to a web page where a form is already filled out with my personal information because it remembers that I have taken action on some issue in the past. Obviously, my time is saved by not having to fill out the form each time. However, with Firefox some of these forms are not filled out, and when I tap on different fields, no drop-down menu appears with past entries. I’ve gone to Firefox’s Settings and see that “Autofill in Firefox” is on by default, so I don't know what else to do. This problem occurs on some web pages, not all. Please advise. Thank you.

I have noted from a web search that the subject of Javascript in Firefox (Android) has caused issues for some users of this browser.

I understand that JavaScript is now enabled by default in the standard version of Firefox (Android). It appears that once upon a time there was a config setting that could be tweaked to switch JavaScript on or off, but that setting may no longer work. Additionally, I also understand there are add-ons for the Android version of Firefox that can, amongst other things, apparently switch JavaScript on or off.

People here might be surprised to learn that the minimalist Firefox Focus (Android) browser already has a built-in, easily accessible, switch to turn JavaScript on or off:

Settings > Privacy & Security > Web Content > Block JavaScript

So, the point I would like to raise with Mozilla (but it seems to be impossible to contact them directly) is, if it is available in Firefox Focus (Android), why the heck is this switch not available in the mainstream, standard version of Firefox (Android)? It makes absolutely no sense not to have it, surely?

I would suggest that a good place to include a JavaScript switch would be in the 'Site permissions' section of Firefox (Android) settings. It is merely a suggestion as, for example, within the rather useful competitor Vivaldi (Android) browser there is such a switch located here:

Settings > WEB PAGES > Site settings > JavaScript

As for why there should be a JavaScript switch within Firefox (Android), that question is largely irrelevant. Mozilla have already seen a need to include it in Firefox Focus (Android), so what possible good reason could there be for not including it in Firefox (Android)? It mystifies me, and it's omission is an inconvenience too.

Does anyone here have a sensible answer to this question?

I have autoplay disabled. But there are some sites where I'd like it to remain enabled. There's an exceptions list in the site permissions settings page that includes autoplay. But there's no way to add a new site directly from there. Other support answers indicate that sites get added there when the site asks to do something, like send notifications. But there's no option to ask about autoplaying videos, and the sites I'm interested in aren't asking to do anything else, either.

So it seems like there's notionally the ability for there to be an exception for autoplay, but there's no way to actually tell Firefox to create that exception.

Please tell me how I can create a site exception for the autoplay setting.

The reason I am here is because I am worried about the insecurity on internet. I have been using it for years but now I realize every single person is vulnerable. I honestly did not know how easy they can steal your information from your computers, or any device you use to surf on the web. And that is not right. I think that situation has to change and if there is any way I could help to generate a change i am here.

Hi, the new Firefox now has sites from your history on your homepage, even when recently visited it turned off, I would have thought I'd you have recently visited turned off you probably wouldn't want history sites also showing? This seems a pretty bad privacy setting that should have the option to have on our not depending on your preference?

Hi, I don't like everytime I visited sites and closing that tab it auto show in home page. Yes, I know I set it by the time I closing the browser it clear it. I'm browsing in Android phone. I only like homepage show my manually add sites' shortcut. Nothing alse.

I couldn't even get on Google yesterday because the hackers are so smart or they just have a great device to hack accounts and I want you to send the hackers to prison ASAP. I already know that they are my at least 2 neighbors and 1 I rent to now and then the other hackers are staying so close to my garage that they can get into my spectrum wifi router and then they have broken into my garage and stole my passwords and then over $1,000.00 in cash and gold, etc. This is a brand new Gmail account now and they have probably seen the passwords already I would think!!!

Hi ! I'm trying to use a external password manager with the android firefox but the option "Logins and passwords"> "Autofill in other apps" doesn't turns on, when I click on the option it prompt to choose the password manager on a list, but the option keeps disabled. I tested the app in others mobiles browser and its works fine, the desktop version of firefox have a addon for this app and also works correctly.

Can someone help me out ?

Firefox mobile version: 101.2.0(build #2015885315) Password manager - Remembear from TunnelBear LLC.

Using a saved password on Discover.com will change the text on the "Log In" button to your password. This doesn't happen on any other browser.

(This is using Firefox 101.2.0 on Android 12 via Google Pixel 6. All software is up to date)

Ever since your latest updates for android, I cannot get to websites because a note cones up that Firefox has locked it. And what is lockwise? That is also coming up on the screen

would like my name of Mia C. Sillanpaa deleted from all Firefox searches. This may include prabook, clustrmaps, mylife, been verified, wgite pages, spu Winter 2002 footnotes, etc.

Using FF 101 on Andtoid phone. If I do not use Android's "general" PW then how do I protect FF PWs if I

lend to a friend for a minute? There's no primary PW. So how's it done? Is there any change FF will ever have a primary (master) PW again? Thanks
