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://www.theguardian.com/uk (several million uniques visitors per month)

Expected behaviour: I am able to open various links 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 40 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 addins installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behaviour. This ia FF Android specific

Thanks!

Dear Firefox,

Have just started Firefox for Android on my mobile. Just to ask how I could use the Firefox Reader add-on on my mobile, please? On my Firefox browser on my laptop, this works for me, but I cannot get it to work on my mobile. Any suggestions, please?

On youtube mobile site or a reddit video, when I click the bottom right button to fullscreen the video, a message pops up that says 'entering fullscreen mode' (with a firefox logo on the left of the message) and then firefox closes and I'm at my android home page

This seems to happen when I watch videos in a new instance. If I reopen firefox to the video and then try fullscreen again, it goes full screen no problem. So basically it's annoying and happens when I try to watch any video full screen for the first time.

Is this a known bug? Wasn't an issue on my old phone (I just got the galaxy s23).

Firefox is fully updated from playstore. Only addons installed is ublock origin and Privacy Badger

Thank you for any assistance

Why does sync break EVERY week on my phone. EVERY week I have to spend half an hour trying and usually failing to get my phone to be able to receive tabs from my desktop computers. Why do you break this critical feature with every update no matter how large.

I restart both firefox on all my devices as well as the devices themselves. I clear cache, cookies and even do fresh installs. Nothing works until a day or so later it magically deigns to function again.

I had Firefox on my Samsung A8 tablet. I was having a problem with it so I called Samsung Tech. They told me my problem was Firefox because it is a third party program. Samsung suggested I use only Google. What is your opinion on this?

samsung s21 has fireefox default browser and google home page. since 10am this morning 1/8/24, can not get google home page to disply, only blank page.

works ok with home pc, motorola, and on chrome on s21. verizon tech and samsung tech help are stumped. any ideas how to fix?

uninstalled, reinstalled several times, cleared data, history everything. argh!

thx

When using Paypal I keep getting warnings from Firefox that it is an unsafe site. What steps can I take to make Paypal safe and stop getting the warnings? I've looked in the settings area but can't find what might relate to making a site safe.

How to install Fire Fox Browser on my Amazon Fire 10HD Tablet? I can not get Fire Fox from the Amazon tablet app store. Will it ever be possible to use a Mozilla Fire Fox browser on my Amazon Fire HD10 Tablet?

thank you for any responses Stuart

I'm overwhelmed with Spam. When I use Chrome spam goes to the spam folder. Firefox just started doing that the last 2 weeks. I'm 80 years old and don't know how to set up the spam folder. Please help.

Firefox is #3 memory hog on my Samsung phone, at 478MB. Why can't development team make the changes to let users move app & data to external (micro SD) storage? Here's a few of my installed apps that DO support this:

Google Photos Pocket PBS Stocard VLC Netflix

version 103 on Android 9

How do I set the Firefox home page on Android 12? I want to set it so that whenever I open Firefox or press the "home" icon in the upper left corner, it takes me directly to https://www.duckduckgo.com.

Hi, I recently bought a samsung odyssey g9 problem is while I see https://perfectclimbing.com/ that looks different on Chrome and different on Mozilla Firefox. Which I prefer to use. Let me know how I can optimize the view.
