Firefox for Android Community Forum

Edit: here's the relevant Issue page in Fennec's GitLab repository. Use this project if you want to cut out some of Mozilla's unwanted additions. https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

Once upon a time Mozilla Firefox was a great little browser..No clanging bells and whistle and sirens that pestered one about all the great wonderful features, each one a must have. Page after page of 'look at all the meat things we added." And maybe, justcmaybe, we could get around to what we wanted to do and look up the next showtime. A simple Blue smiley button that also said "New!" somewhere up top, perhaps a little bigger than the others and blinking/winking😎every now oand then would do. When did Mozilla decide it was all about Mozilla, and not about the customer, and tell us so every update. You know, like Micro squash does?😒 ry now🙃

hey, guys hope someone could understand what I'm trying to talk about.

after update to Firefox nightly 144.o1a, in the tab list, i need to slide over 70% to close one tab. feels like i have to very carefully slide it to make sure i really want to close the tab, and it kind of wasting time.

the past version like 110.a? are not, easily slide to close the tab.

so is there setting in the about: config can change it?

like the picture, it have over than it so the tan can be closed.

I decided this morning, since I have gotten no help from Mozilla or anyone else, to uninstall the Firefox browser I had on my phone that was giving me the problem of opening then immediately closing itself. So I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone and went to the Play Store and installed a fresh version of Firefox for Android; version 142.0.1.

After the install, I immediately got a message on my phone screen saying that: "This app isn't compatible with the latest version of Android. Check for an update or contact the apps developer."

And this fresh install will open but closes itself immediately, as has been the issue all along since I first notified you.

The Play Store claims this app "is compatible with your phone, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)".

It also claims "the required OS is Android 5.0 and higher".

Note that I'm running Android v.14.

So, since there is no update indicated by the Play Store, I am now notifying the developer.

For maybe a few weeks, I can't synchronise my account, I've tried to log out / log in multiple times but the "Synchronise now" button does nothing and the "Sync" one on the devices tabs just get stuck on "Synchronising..." but eventually does nothing. I can send a tab to Firefox desktop, but that's all. Both devices are logged on my account. I can't choose what to synchronise because it's greyed out.

Collections bookmarks on the Firefox for Android homepage. I have Firefox sync. I have many regular bookmarks. Collections bookmarks from Android or obviously not available or synced with my Firefox for desktop. Are they synced or backed up at all anywhere? I cannot find them other than inside Collections. If I uninstall Firefox on my Android, Google Pixel phone and reinstall it will everything in the homepage collections be lost?

Hello I am facing a problem hope you can help me. I just factory reset my phone and install firefox again with my account but it didn't access or sync all my saved password.

Please help 🙏😭.

I've tried disabling it with the secret menu and it makes no difference. Seeing as Mozilla don't give a singular toss about the needs of their neurodivergent users I want to install an old version of firefox for android with a version of the UI that doesn't make me want to self harm. I know how to disable android updates but not install an old version safely. How do I do this?

Attached a screenshot of the new UI. As an aside if anyone can recommend the drugs that the people who designed and approved this ugly tosh are on I'd love to know what they are, must be good stuff for them all to make decisions this asinine.

My account has not been updated since 2023?? Is there something you can do about this? Also there were links I clicked, the questions, and those haven't been updated.
