Been asked to report this here.

While not being used (phone off and charging at night) Firefox used up around 6GB of data and I have no idea why.

There were three tabs open at the time, two had been open for several days without issue, I think this was the other one.

I noticed this when staying somewhere with a flaky WiFi connection, as I got a warning about mobile data use, so it's entirely possible it isn't the first time.

Phone running Android 11.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.

I´m a bit sad about the lack of shortcuts in the Firefox android app. Will they be added at some point?

Hi! I´m a big shortcut user and a year-long Firefox fan and user. Now it´s the first time I´m using an Android tablet (Boox Tab X C) and the typical shortcuts for new tab (Ctrl + T), close tab (Ctrl + W), etc. do not work. I researched this a little and it seems to be by design. Why do you forsake us, Firefox god??

In any case, thanks for the good work folks. Love the Mozilla name and what it stands for for a long time now. Peace

I was using Firerox Beta on Android and yesterday or for the last couple days my Firerox account would keep getting logged out as in I'd have to sign in again and again to sync or send tabs to other devices. (It would repeatedly say sign in again to sync even after I sign in repeatedly).

I uninstalled Firefox Beta and installed Firefox stable on Android. No such issue so far.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a strange issue on a website I manage. Everything works as expected in Chrome on Android, but in Firefox for Android some users report layout and image-loading problems that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently on my own devices. I've already checked caching, responsive design, and basic CSS issues, but the reports keep coming in. Has anyone dealt with a similar Firefox-specific issue before, and what ended up being the cause?

Hi, I am using Firefox Beta on my android Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite and a OnePlus Pad 3. Since a recent update of Firefox beta I can no longer enter text into my Hosting UK webmail. If I access my webmail account via Google or Chrome the webmail account works fine. Could Firefox look into this or return to an earlier version that worked
