How to disable home button icon on URL bar in Firefox Android like Chrome allows in 2025?

It takes up too much space and URL is hidden and unreasonable. In Chrome, all is optional and customisable.

Is Firefox team updating it to current standards of 2024-25?

How to export passwords from Firefox Android in readable format like CSV for other password manager apps like KeePass XC or AuthPass? 

Currently as I'm seeing all Gecko-based browsers especially on mobile not just Firefox but also Mull, Fenix, Waterfox and Iceraven, lacks this.

Is this intentional or should I just keep Chrome as my browser because to jump to Firefox, I need basic things to be covered, which I don't see, Mozilla Firefox team doing on its own. 

Other browsers like Opera have proper in-built system of password manager. 

How unfortunate.

When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

Good morning and/or evening!

Within the last year, I upgraded my phone from iOS to Android, and decided to switch browsers from Safari to FireFox while I was at it. The mobile version of FireFox has served me very well so far, especially the collections feature!

I also like to use private tabs to save content I may not want to view until later. Unfortunately, due to FireFox automatically closing private tabs, I often lose my place and reading lists.

The option to Keep Private Tabs is available on the iOS version of Firefox, as shown on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-close-private-tabs-when-leaving-priv. Would it be possible to make this an option for Android users as well?

Thank you for your time and help!

Translation extension on firefox doesn't have an option for translating Chinese. I downloaded all the available languages and Chinese was not among them however I have found in the past that Chinese is the language which I most often come across sites,web pages, apps,etc written in and needing translated into English.

Any plans on releasing a Wear OS version? I now have TBird on Desktop, Laptop, Android phone and tablet. Would be nice to have some sort of version on my Galaxy Watch 7 as well.

Why oh why doesn't the mighty Mozilla allow me to organise my bookmarks alphabeticaly. Much lesser browsers do, Mozilla doesn't allow me to organise bookmarks at all. I use bookmarks extesively, it wouldn't take much coding to allow me to sort them. Putting them in as saved order makes no sense. Come on guys 'n' gals get with the program!

When viewing Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks, only the parent folders are displayed (screenshot 1) and one of them has to be tapped to display the subfolders within that parent folder. However, when editing a bookmark, all the parent folders are expanded, displaying every subfolder as well (screenshot 2). It's an absolute nightmare to look at and a pain navigate. It would be more helpful if editing worked the same as viewing.

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

I saw an archived posted forum on this from around a year ago and the OP posted about his Chromebook device. I have a typical/standard Android phone (a Kyocera, if that helps anything) and was wondering two separate things:

1. The previously mentioned archived forum was answered with Nightly not supporting Dev tools for the Android version. Is this still true or has this changed at all?

2. If it has changed, does my phone being an Android 10 or 11 OS get this change or not? I can type in "about:configs" and get what I presume are some sort of advanced tools, but I figured there would be a quick button for this.

Thank you to anyone who responds. I appreciate all information and help.

Why firefox has not been able to add a very convenient feature of organising bookmarks in the bookmarks list, like dragging specific bookmarks up and down in order to gather similar bookmarks together, as per requirement? This bookmark managemwnt and organisation feature is a must in such a wonderful browser to make it even more convenient to use. Please add this feature.

Hello guys !!

I wanted to disable the prefetching/preloaad pages and I found some entries on about:config that I had to change. Some of those are here on the official support site and some not, I found them on another forum.

Here's the list: network.prefetch-next (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS (false)

network.http.speculative-parallel-limit (0)

browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled (false)

So, my questions are: 1. All these expect one "browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled" are available on android (nightly). Is there and i can't find it or it's indeed not available ??

2. Is the "network.http.speculative-parallel-limit" works only for http or it works and for https as well ?? Is there some setting to geti it to work for https if it doesn't ??

3. Is true that the "network.dns.disablePrefetch" and/or "network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS" doesn't work (if i disable it) if i have turned on the dns over https ??

4. Are there other settings that I need to configurate or I'm good with these ??

Thanks in advance !!
