Firefox для Android: форум сообщества

Hello Mozilla team.

I need your help with the following: I recently upgraded my device and I got Samsung S24+. Unfortunately Mozilla is not working properly. Whenever I open a new tab or open a link via my email account it is flashing constantly without being able to browse as usual.

Any help? (I have already unistalled / reinstalled the app.

Look forward to hearing from you

Kind regards

Hello,

I'm not able to upload files to certain websites using Firefox on Android.

When selecting a file for the phone's file manager, the file upload simply not starting.

However, Firefox on iOS doesn't have that issue.

Firefox version used is the latest one and it is the one from Google Play.

Tried another browser and it works great.

This screen displays brackets in the corners defining the corners of a square in the middle of the screen. You cannot pinch it to make it larger or smaller or smaller. If you scroll up on the windows it closes Mozilla. The only way to get rid of it to use the browser normally is to reboot my Samsung phone.

Hello,

I'm facing a severe battery drain issue that occurs with all of the current Firefox versions for Android (Stable, Beta, Nightly). I have noticed that the problem mainly arises when I have played any type of video through the browser, such as a YouTube video or any auto-playing html video through a website. And I don't mean that the battery drain occurs WHILE I have the browser open, I mean in the background, after I have exited Firefox. I have also installed GSAM battery monitor with the necessary ADB battery stats permission given, and it seems that the "Video On" wakelock is always on with Firefox. It's like that the thread that plays the video has not stopped, even if I have force closed Firefox, and killed the video tab. For example, I'm attaching two screenshots from the battery monitor, where I have previously opened Firefox and played a video for like 15 seconds (see the "Audion On"), then immediately closed all the tabs and force closed the application. As you can see, the "Video On" has not stopped, like the "Audio On" wakelock, and continues to count (35 minutes). This may go on forever, such as if I leave the phone at night, I'll wake up the next day with Firefox video wakelock displaying something like 15 hours of playback (something that of course, is not true). The only way to stop the drain, is to restart the phone and not open Firefox.

Though, the issue may not even be related with video playback. I have read in the forums (like here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1432706) that other people are facing this issue as well, and worked around it by not using Firefox as the default browser. I have not tried it but, even if it works, this is not at all convenient. Other posts on reddit that verify the same issue I am having: https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/18xh7w3/why_is_firefox_using_all_this_battery_i_havent/ https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/18zlow0/since_android_14_video_seems_to_be_the_top/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/174d13d/firefox_excessive_battery_usage_on_android/

I do not wish to switch to chromium based browsers. Please take a look at the issue and let me know. Thanks a lot.

Hi ! When watching a feed where there are videos and pictures, the scrolling slows down and the picture jerks In all other applications and browsers everything is ok what can be done Thank you

I really like this app. I always use it on desktop also but after a few last updates I noticed that battery usage of this app increased a lot and the percentage is very high. 1 hour screen time on youtube was 4% battery usage but on the firefox side it was 17 min / 11% battery usage. If you fix this It will be perfect for me. Here are the screenshots with different days. And I'm using sync feature and ublock addon. I always close the opened apps and I use deep sleep feature on my samsung device. And I forced to close the app. For now I stop using firefox for test purposes.

Android 14, One UI 6.0, Samsung S22+

Firefox is using a large amount of battery while idle. You can see my app runs open a lot of the day, but not in use much. It has drained 20 percent of one days battery, and I am watching YouTube videos on another app (Grayjay btw check it out!) and it has used far less battery. If I set Firefox into a sleeping state, the app still drains a lot of battery. When in deep sleep,it stops draining as much power, but then Android keeps auto pushing their own browser to be my primary browser. I'm not sure what to do in this case, as it's too much of a hassle to have links not auto open in Firefox when in deep sleep. This excessive battery drain doesn't make sense, and I was wondering if there was any fix for this. Thanks for taking the time.

Hi,

I am using Firefox on Android and every few minutes it will just refuse to load the page. This doesn't happen in Firefox on my laptop so I don't believe it is an Internet speed issue. Often it will just not load and timeout. I usually quit Firefox and clear the cache and that seems to help temporarily but a few minutes later it's doing it again. It's becoming unusable at this point and I have read posts from other people with similar issues. Can we get this fixed in general please? I couldn't find a way to contact Mozilla about this.

Does anyone have any tips or settings I can change to eliminate or reduce this problem?

I'm on Android 13 and Firefox 122.0

Let me know if need any other info. Thanks.

http://americafirst.com/, Firefox used to be able to resolve this to a secure site and open it. For months, it just stalls and stays blank. What is the problem? What has changed?

Fonts on Google show outlines where they're not supposed to. This is happening as shown in the attached picture in the word 'Firefox' and the word 'Change'.

Only extensions I am using are Dark Reader and uBlock Origin, both of which I uninstall completely to test without any difference.

Problem persists in both dark and light mode. And is not present in Google Chrome ot other applications.

This is on Android 14, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, One UI 6.1. Firefox 132.0 (Build #2016051567).

I'm unsure if this is a Firefox Mobile issue (since the site's login pop-up works just fine on my laptop that I also use FF on), or an issue with the website itself, but I've already emailed the site about it and got no response yet. So, figured I'd try here. Also, I just tried re-enabling Chrome to truly see if this is browser or app related and sadly this works on Chrome's Mobile but not FF's.

On the mobile and desktop version of this site: thingstogetme.com

There's an option to login with Facebook or Apple ID. The Apple ID pop-up works fine, but the Facebook one does not. Again, this is only an issue on Mobile. The Facebook option will turn a darker blue once you tap on it, indicating it's been selected, but nothing will happen. If you tap the page, it'll go back to its regular, un-selected blue.

I've turned off uBlock Origin, switched between mobile and desktop pages, refreshed, nothing works for this problem. Thus this essentially soft-locks me out of this site unless I use my laptop.

After I log in to Linked in I can not use profile or network pages, as it looks like some kind of semitransparent overlay is displayed above them, preventing me from interaction with the page. In the same time home feed is working fine. I tried disabling all extensions but no luck.

Hey 👋🏼

I have an issue with the Facebook 'recent post' feed: Only two posts were displayed in the 'recent post' feed and then a spinning loading symbol is at the bottom - then nothing else is loading on my OnePlus 12 and Google Pixel 6, Firefox version 126.0.

In Microsoft Edge it is working, all posts are loaded correctly, so it seems to be a browser issue.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

It's the same problem as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420806

Thanks 🙏🏼 Dresa91

Hello All, For some unknown reason, the browsers available on Play Store for Nvidia Shield are crap - so far I've not found any that allow me to easily sync bookmarks etc between Shield/PC/Mobile.

I therefore tested and found Opera and Vivaldi sideloaded to my Nvidia Shield TV Pro both worked perfectly.

I wanted to use test Firefox as I was about to use this as my main preferred PC/mobile browser, but first I wanted to check it all worked OK.

I was able to sideload and set up Firefox, but as soon as I open a webpage the Controller stopped working.

How can this be fixed please?

Please don't suggest a browser that's intended for AndroidTV on the Shield Play Store - they are all crap due to the reasons I mentioned, the controller with Right Joysick acting as mouse pounter works perfectly on Opera and Vivaldi, so I don't understand why this it doesn't work on Firefox.

I hope this can be fixed/resolved as I would like to use Firefox as an alternative.

Thanks and regards!

Andrew Henshaw.

Hi, when I try to upload a file such as my resume to a job board it won't open my file location on my device. When I click on the websites upload button it doesn't do anything. I have tried on many websites with the same outcome. When I go to the same websites using Chrome it works.

A recent update has broken the ability to upload images. I am on a Pixel 7. Firefox has full rights. I tried clearing cache. It is not a particular website. This one for instance, allows the option of uploading images to attach.to my question and it doesn't work. Hoping someone has a fix so I can keep using the browser.
