Форум поддержки Firefox для Android

Hello all,

I had been using firefox as the standard browser for years, but since the DNS-over-HTTPS feature I have had trouble with protecting my family on the web via DNS filtering. Currently the only solution that has worked is to use a different browser (the Spin browser, for whoever is interested). I have Firefox blocked using the Android family link feature (and they can't install new apps without permission). Personally, I would love to move everyone back to Firefox, but I can't find a way to do it safely. Is there a way to effectively disable DNS-over-HTTPS such that it can't be changed (kids are pretty quick at figuring out that they can just go to the settings and figuring out that they can turn the feautre back on). A parental control feature would be ideal, so I can just set the DNS-over-HTTPS to use the family DNS filter in a way they can't turn it off. Does anyone have an helpful solution, or is Firefox dead for family protection?

Respectfully, Andrew

Hello world! (Sorry; had to.)

I just started using Firefox for Android, as a workaround to the problems I'm having with playing my YouTube playlists.

But, I'm having several problems in Firefox for Android.

1. Playlists (the actual lists of videos) cover the video that's currently playing. My workaround to this is to play in full screen mode, but that brings up problem

2. Full screen videos automatically switch to landscape orientation, despite system settings, with no apparent way to switch back to portrait orientation without also exiting full screen mode. I've tried rotating my phone with auto rotate on/off; neither setting has any affect on the orientation.

What's extremely frustrating about this is that any workaround is actually a workaround to a workaround to a workaround; it's workaroundception.

What I really really want is to be able to simply play my playlist/listen to it without having to jump through hoops and without having to burn through data like a bonfire burns through sticks.

IMO, the best solution would be to download the entire playlist:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Hu9zPsGgiUKHoc2GeRo6ydKQMIQy8Pt&si=LzYVEe1sd8T1knZF

...in one go, and stick it on an mp3 player like it's 2009. So far, the only YouTube to mp3 sites I've found only download individual videos; not whole playlists. (And that's not really a Mozilla issue anyway; the Mozilla issues are the unwanted rotation and the video stack covering up the currently playing video.)

I see archived threads from two years ago asking why there is no longer a 'Save as PDF' function. What is the status of this almost universal browser function? I've used Firefox for PC always going back to Netscape, and really want to like and use Firefox Android.

I've used Tor Browser (Firefox kernel), and the "add-ons" in that browser say "add-ons may damage the browser". Does Firefox have any safety measures for add-ons (such as running them in quarantine so that they don't damage the browser itself or other add-ons).

Why is there a repetition of 'customise homepage' menu. It appears both on home screen and in the menu bar. Very annoying very bad. Very much unexpected. Just dump this. We don't need this menu on home screen , let it be where it belonged.

Can you please add more padding around the purple 'Add' button (with the star icon) for adding bookmarks on Firefox for Android?

Currently it needs to be pressed very precisely and I'm always opening the existing bookmarks (which I don't want) instead of adding a bookmark (which I do want).

Thank you.

It appears to me that one can only rearrange or move the position of a bookmark (in Firefox) via a PC and not with an android phone.

Is this correct? If not, could said instructions for doing so via an android phone be forwarded?

Thank you

I found that deleting an entry from a collection is WAY too easy. If you accidentally 'bump' swipe left OR right, or bump the X icon, it is instantly deleted. I don't know how many times I have done that, and often don't even remember what entry I ACCIDENTALLY deleted.

Is there any way to minimize the ways an entry is deleted, or enable some form of delete verification? If not, it needs to be added for a future update.

Tell me when is Material You going to roll out on any of your android browsers. It's all about privacy, sure, that's why I value your app, but you're one of a few apps never updating with the theme on my pixel and for this reason I've stopped using your app until you update on of ANY of your mobile browsers (except for Focus) with this icon style. I need to know, when and which app (I don't care if it's beta, just tell me). Thanks.

Nearly every time I swipe through my website collection one ends up getting deleted with the slightest sideways movement. A less sensitive delete would really help thanks

It would be nice if Firefox supported dual screens on Android. I have a Surface Duo and the other browsers allow me to run one tab on each screen. There's an option in each of the browsers to "open tab on other screen" so you can do side by side browsing. Firefox doesn't have this feature.

1. 1- last week Firefox was blocking me from accessing certain sites that I always go to.

1. 2- I cannot access about:config. I've tried signed in and out as well as with different search engines and I just get a blank screen. Help?

1. 3- is it normal for FF to have permission to download files without notifying? I checked the permission list and seemed like there is alot of dangerous and malicious permission allowed as system permissions. Please help?

1. 4- when I log in and check devices, 2 new logins show up. One says my phone's model # and the second one says logged into Firefox browser or something like that. Is it normal to have duplicates like that when I only use my Android phone?

1. 5- I've tried and cannot find any way to login to my network or make any network changes? Please help?

I commented on play store and was told to send my question on here so they could be investigated more. Thank you for your help.

I am writing this feedback to just show my appreciation to firefox for being the best and the safest browser. I was almost scammed in a particular site but kudos to firefox for detecting it and informed me. Firefox is the best browser ever.
