Форум сообщества Firefox для Android

I'm sure if I just don't know how to use it correctly or maybe I installed to many extensions that are conflicting but the private browsers won't work. Anybody got idea why this would be.

Hello, Long time user and lover. Never had any problems with your great browser. This past week, on my phone, Firefox has been flagged "high battery background usage" and is continuously trying to put app to deep sleep. What has happened? How do I stop this? Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated Thanks Scott

Browsing on firefox mobil gets very hot and laggy super quickly, brosing shouldn't be a heavy workload, but only in firefox my phone heats up and get lag super quickly until it became unbearable in terms of lag and temperature, after some searching I found out that this was a common issue and why didn't Mozilla fix this, it's a major known issue

I think the home page changed with the recent Firefox 137.0 update on my Android phone. It feels like something that may have changed intentionally, but it disrupts my existing usage. I would hope there is at least a configuration option to revert it, but I cannot find one.

I used to be able to gesture "back" out of a tab into my home page where I would see the search/location bar, tab controls, and hamburger menu at the bottom of the screen. (See second attached screenshot for this normal screen I'm talking about.) I would very often either use the tabs button to choose a different existing tab or the hamburger menu to get into the full Bookmarks list.

Lately, the back gesture drops me into a screen where input to the search/location bar is already activated, so the keyboard is open and the tabs + menu controls are replaced with the QR code button. (See first attached screenshot.) My usage of Firefox on a phone is very different than on a laptop with a keyboard. On a phone, I rarely want to write search terms, so this automatic input mode is a frustrating trap.

I have to gesture "back" again to get from this screen to the original screen, but with the keyboard open, I have to do the gesture in the upper half of of the screen, which is awkward with one-handed operation. Otherwise, the gesture is likely to trigger keyboard input instead.

Ideally, I'd like to skip this activated search screen and have the tabs + menu remain the bottom of the screen with the keyboard closed. (As in second attached screenshot.)

But, I never use that QR code button either. I also see it as a misfeature to have it replace the tabs and menu buttons when input is activated. I feel like the QR scanner should be hidden under the menu or show up as a third button, making the location bar a little narrower without moving the existing buttons.

If the tabs and menu buttons remained, at least I could try to use them directly without having to do the extra back gesture. But, the open keyboard input is still awkward, since it shoves the buttons halfway up the screen and muscle memory doesn't work for the target.

After activation of app, homepage appears with search bar AND keyboard, but no 3 vertical dot menu. The keyboard never used to appear until you hit the search bar. This has only happened recently and is a pain. Solution is to hit mobile's backup key.

Every time I open Firefox, since recent update, the keyboard opens on the lower portion of the screen, below my Shortcuts. Additionally, it places a camera icon over the 3 dots (...) so that I can't access my Bookmarks. This is very annoying, because I have to remove the keyboard before I can proceed. How can I permanently prevent the keyboard from intruding on my Home Screen on Android.

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

Hello!

I've been facing a problem in Firefox that has been going on for about 5 years: the multimedia keys on my HyperX alloy Core (membrane) keyboard only work ~33% of the time.

Problem details: - In other browsers (Chrome, Edge) and programs (VLC, Spotify) the keys work perfectly. - The problem occurs specifically in Firefox, regardless of the OS or driver version (I reinstalled Windows, browser, updated drivers). - I've tried the following solutions (without results): - Updating Firefox to the latest version. - Disabling all extensions. - Resetting the browser settings. - Updating HyperX software/drivers.

Additional information: - OS: Windows 11 latest update

- Firefox: Latest version instaled

My English level is not very good. I use translation software. Please forgive my language mistakes. When restoring from the background, all web pages will be reloaded. When restoring from the background, any web page with the label < header class > will cause the page to jump at the beginning and end of < header class >.

Hey new developement team you might as well remove and redo the entire support section. Tons of features, places we are pointed to-go to, options and whatever else were completely removed or moved to entirely different areas before the precovid developers were able to change it themselves upon being let go. Some spots the support points to more advanced features that the browser itself doesn't actually have anymore, because regressing 2015-1998 features somehow saves money? Removing features and functions that are up to 20+ yrs old seems like more work than just leaving them but what do I know... But the information on here is almost 5 yrs old now and desperately needs a complete rehaul. I don't know how many of ya they brought back but might want to play some catch up on one of the most important sections. I see tons of posts everywhere of people giving up and going to Brave or whatever instead because of this alone. Just as with a book, movie, whatever the beginning just as important as the end when it comes to capturing attention and sales..... Regards from every currently overly frustrated user that's also sick of/dealing with Windows (esp Win11) and Googles nonstop bombardment of bs.

I'm not sure if that's the right topic. I'm using Firefox for Android version 137.0.

1. A new problem has popped up. Whenever I have a field/box to type in (I like this one), when I tap in that box the keyboard pops up, of course. The problem is, when I have typed enough to fill that box, instead of scrolling up so I can continue typing, the box falls below/behind the keyboard.

Sometimes, I can raise it back above the keyboard, but the moment I start typing again it falls right back behind the keyboard again. Makes it really difficult to type.

Note: It didn't happen in this text box, but it seems to happen in every other text box I type in on any other site.

2. It would be really, really great If you would give us a way to search for open tabs. When you're on a phone and you can only see a handful of tabs at once, it's really difficult to find what you're looking for when there are lots of tabs open.

3. Kind of in connection with that, it would also be wonderful if we could move more than one tab at a time. I can select as many tabs as I want, although I don't know why because it will not let me move those selected tabs as a group. I can only move one at a time.

For example, I might want to search (item 2) for all the Amazon tabs I have open. Then, I want to select all those tabs, and move them (item 3) all together to a different spot to keep them all in one place. Or, even better, put them in some sort of group tab called Amazon within my list of open tabs .

It would be similar to opening a new window in Windows and keeping all my Amazon tabs in that window.

Thanks for your help.

Note: I got no indication that this got submitted to the community when I hit the submit button, so I tried again. And still nothing seems to happen when I hit the submit button. It does not say it was submitted. I don't get a check mark and it get support part of the process. I just can't seem to submit these questions.
