Форум поддержки Firefox для Android

Hi!

Version: FF Android 101.2.0 (plus other version stuff I can provide if needed), Android 12

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://alightmotionapk.co/mod/

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!

Hi, hope someone can help! When I close tabs on my Android (not all tabs but usually a few) when I open the app later I find the tabs have returned, is there anyway to make the tabs stay closed? Sometimes I'll close a few then find them randomly back next time I use Firefox. I've been using Firefox on Android for a long time and this has only just started happening. My laptop is not physically switched on so it is not syncing to that. Thanks in advance!

On Android say I have more than 10 tabs open and I want to start closing them. I'm currently on tab A, and then I scroll up to see the rest of the taba and start closing then by either swiping or clicking the X button. After I close 3 or more, Firefox will randomly navigate to another tab.

I would expect for Firefox to stay on the tab A which is the one I has open and never closed, instead of jumping to other tabs at random.

I was opening a lot of tabs, however I was not using most of them at the moment. So I enabled the inactive tabs options, but I can't find the tabs anymore. How can I access them? I am attaching photo of the firefox app on my phone .. Thx ..

Is there any way to extend the visibility of the pop-up switch notification which reads "New tab opened Switch"? I mean another half second or two?

I'm talking about the momentary button on the bottom of the screen which provides a way to immediately switch over to the newly opened tab.

I usually don't switch, but I'm usually too slow to click when I DO want to switch.

The same website opens repeatedly in a new tab. It's a trusted website (public library). I've run a virus scan and looked for solutions but can't find the problem. Any ideas please?

If I am in a site such as bbc news and I back swipe it goes back to the app home screen and I can then select another shortcut or type in an address. However the bbc news homepage remains open as a tab. If I backswipe right back to the home screen I would expect it to close the tab not leave it open.

OK, so I have a website that works fine on Chrome, Safari, Opera and it works also fine of Firefox. But the problem is that when it loads on firefox, for a tiny second, it loads like this https://snipboard.io/8OFki3.jpg

I tried optimizing the site, and its working great on other browsers, but firefox user experience is not what I want, any suggestions to fix this.

This is the website I am talking about: https://www.easygrader.net/

Thanks, Amir S.

So recently i always encountered this annoying bug or something that doesnt exist before, its when i click the tab button sometimes or often the tab shown will go straight to the first tab created, and it is annoying if you have like 20-30 tabs open because your gonna scroll down for like couple seconds just to see the latest Tab or current tab your are in which the browser should do the first place when i click the Tab Button and not go straight to the most top and the first tab created. Can this be fix?

Tab reordering is important to many users. About two years ago, Chrome added this feature, but Firefox removed it. Just recently I found that TAB re-arranging works again in the Night build on Android. When approximately we can when expect this feature in the Release?

I have probably over 1000 tabs on my Android that I wanted to start to bookmark in my desktop. I find that most of them are inactive now, which I appreciate the intent, but I never asked for. Now when I have time to deal with them, I have tried multiple ways to bring them to my computer or bookmark them from my phone, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't seem like there is much of anything that you can do with inactive tabs even if you share them to your desktop.

It is my understanding from trying to research this, that the Collections you create on your phone are not synced to my Firefox account so that doesn't seem helpful. Is there an extension that could solve this for me? It doesn't work to try to bookmark them from my phone because they don't show up in my desktop bookmark folder that I assigned.

The thing that has worked best so far is to Share my tabs to a temporary folder [Phone Inactive Tabs] on my desktop then search (for example: recipe) then open some in tabs and bookmark them. However, after I have categorized them into the proper bookmark folder (Food/Recipes), they disappear from that folder when I try to delete them from my temporary folder. It does the same thing if I save tabs into OneTab first.

Can someone please help me so that I don't lose years of things that I really want to keep? I would appreciate it! It would be helpful if I could even share all my inactive tabs (or even URLs) into a folder on my desktop so that I could search and bookmark them at a later time without it deleting all that work. Thanks in advance!

Hello.

Every time I click on my shortcuts, a new tab opens.  Opened tabs accumulate during the day and cause the browser to slow down.

Is it possible for me to open shortcuts on the same page without opening different tabs?

For example: When I click on the twitter shortcut from the login page while on the Facebook page, is it possible to enter Twitter on the same page without opening a new tab?

I'm running Firefox Beta for Android 104.0b7 (Build #2015898507), e305d4cd2+ AC: 104.0.7, cc0e6a515c GV: 104.0-20220816121120 AS: 93.7.2

Whenever I switch between tabs it appears as though Firefox is reloading page content from the server. Not only is this annoyingly slow but it makes it near impossible to copy information from one website to another.

Example: I have all my passwords stored in the secure password app on my nextcloud server. I access a website like usnews.com chose to login via their web page, open a new tab to load my nextcloud, find usnews.com and copy my username, change tab again, us news returns to original page and I have to chose login again, and I paste my username, return to nextcloud tab, usnews.com isn't nopen I have to search again to find it and then copy my password, change tab back to usnews again the page is reloaded and I have to chose login again, and my username has been lost so pasting my password does not help much.

Is this a bug? If so how can I help capture data to assist with its resolution? If reloading is a feature, is there something I can do to disable it?

Hi Firefox-Supporters,

I use Firefox for Android for long time. I use

• Firefox for Android Version 104.1.0 (Build #2015898515)
• Addons: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, NoScript, Decentraleyes
• Autocomplete URLs (Settings - Search - Adress bar): active
• Firefox for Android linked with a Firefox account and my Firefox Windows installation

Since about two weeks I sometimes get mail.ru as an Autocomplete URL suggestion when I am starting to type 'm', which should show mydealz.de as my by far the most visited website with letter m (visits: 10 or more / day). Sometimes the Autocomplete Feature still suggests mydealz.de. For months and years, it always suggested mydealz.de as expected, I have never seen any suggestion for mail.ru . Now I am wondering why sometimes mail.ru is suggested, as I did not make any (intentional) changes to my setup. Do you have any tips on finding the source for that suggestion? I was wondering if any app/addon or similar is opening the website in the background, as I did not open it intentionally.

Things I already checked/actions I made to find the potential source or at least fix the issue

• Searched bookmarks (Android and Windows) for mail.ru - no bookmark set
• Searched search engines (Android and Windows) for entry for mail.ru - no entry set
• Searched history (Android and Windows) for visits of mail.ru - no entry
• Delete browsing data (Android): works short-term, first suggestion after deletion is is monero.org with letter m, mail.ru showed after a few times typing 'm' in the adress bar.
• Searched for newly installed apps on android phone - max. 1-2 new apps installed within the last weeks, would classify them as reliable.
• Searched for newly installed apps and total scan for viruses on Windows Laptop - no new Apps installed, no virus found by MS Windows integrated scanner.

Would be glad if anybody got any tips on this.

Kind regards

Hi, this is an idea: To be able to sort the order of tabs.

Often I'll be browsing for something one day, then move on to something else and continue browsing/researching the first thing again later or the next day. Suddenly I have lots of tabs on differrent subjects open and no way to organize the order of them, with using bookmarks/collections, which would be timeconsuming. Being able to reordering them would be really helpful, and also make the „swipe between tabs“ a lot more useful, without having to scroll back and forth through tabs within different subjects.

And especially on my tablet, where I have lots of tabs open when researching this would be great. :)

Hope you'll consider this.
