I have trouble going on to my cell phone without being constantly interrupted by games which I am able to push off when opened in cards. However this originally was not the case. It was freezing and blocking all on the phone until I got some removed. Now this has started up after a time lapse of nothing. I think Fake Firefox now as well as hrome. I have no issues in Windows or Edge. Also fake Playstore and Malware issues. I am no authority on computer and issues. I only know and report what is happening to me. All this after a new modem was installed. Possible. Let me know if I am offended

Thanks.

My goggle is hacked and my Gmail my chrome also isn't safe nor private I like to stay here more private for me they follow me from one chrome to the next so frustrated

I do not have this problem on Firefox for desktop, but on Firefox for mobile, Firefox will suggest commercial sites that I've never visited nor bookmarked. This gets in the way of sites that I visit regularly.

For example, I visit Discord through the Firefox mobile app daily. But when I manually enter "d-i-s" into the address bar, it suggests discovercard(dot)com. I have confirmed that this url does not exist in my history or bookmarks, so I cannot delete it from either place. I have checked this on desktop, as well.

The consequence is that I have to manually type out almost the entire discord url because Firefox does not pivot to the correct url that I visit daily until I have written the "r" where it predicts "v".

I cannot find any place within Firefox mobile settings to disable these suggestions. Is there any way to do so?

Hi all.. I find that other apps regularly prompt me to "unlock Firefox" when I get to a point in them that requires keyboard input. I attach a screenshot of the problem, one in Bluemail and one in MS Excel. I am unable to remove the prompt - by a long press or short - until I type some characters, often a number of characters. Then the prompt disappears. The keyboard is SwiftKey, and I have asked them but they say it's not them. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. P

I have the current Android Firefox installed, my homepage setting has 'recently visited' UNCHECKED, but the homepage is adding all my recently visited pages! Swipe sideways to show even more of them. This is a privacy issue as well as just a bug. Please fix this urgently.

I've also put this on my review on Play store as I consider it something that needs attention...

I have set mine to "Ask every time" and yet it doesn't .... it just says Camera Access needed. Go to Android Settings, tap permissions and tap allow.

Why doesn't it ask ?

I typed https://www.aboutcivil.org/hydraulic-penstock in Mozilla Firefox Site displayed msg "Please, enable ads on this site. By using ad-blocking software, you're depriving this site of revenue that is needed to keep it free and current. Thank you."

I typed https://www.aboutcivil.org/hydraulic-penstock in Chrome. Site displayed ads

I would like to see the ads for that site in Mozilla Firefox. Please help

Sometimes sites that I CLICKED on say that my browser needs cookies enabled

How do I do that? I did research but nothing 

FIREFOX settings doesn't show this option. Any help is appreciated Or I may have to use another browser that will. Thank you

Why is it that when I type in part of an url in firefox search, for example "surf" when I'm wanting to visit r/surf, firefox suggests threads I viewed a single time rather than r/surf that I view multiple times per day?

You can see in chrome it behaves more like you would expect.

Sometimes plain r/surfing will be there but most of the time not, it's just random threads I viewed a single time.

There doesn't seem to be any combination of search settings that makes it suggest more frequently viewed sites

To unlock Firefox for Android the same password is needed as to unlock my mobile phone. On my laptop I can use two different passwords. So, if someone finds out the password for my phone, they automatically have access to my Firefox passwords as well. That feels only half secure. How can I use two different passwords in Firefox for Windows , like on my laptop?

Per the archived post below from 2023, when can we expect this issue to actually be addressed? It has been nearly two years and this is still occurring frequently. In fact, it happened to be as I signed up here to post this.

Thank you so very much.

I use a TTS extention pretty much daily while I do other things so either I have it running in the background while I'm elsewhere on my phone or just away from my phone and it'll turn off the screen. Unless my phone is on charge it force closes the extention after about 3 minutes or so of being out of FF. The app and extention are both optimized so I'm not sure what else there is to do from my end.
