Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have been using uBlock Origin for years to block ads in youtube. Recently I started getting ads again and when I checked I found uBlock was disable snd couldn't be enabled. I dl the latest version but it gives me an error message when I try to load it. Please help.

Since I upgraded to the latest version, Firefox is sluggish and crashes on a regular basis. I have changed my privacy settings from strict to default, has not changed the problem. How can I go back to old version? I choose Firefox because of the privacy concerns, and understand that some websites won't work well, but I've never experienced consistent problems with the app crashing.

Hi. During the recent Firefox updates for Android, there is a problem for me. Navigation bar background on Android 7 is not adaptive so buttons are always white. On the latest Firefox Android (135) with the light mode on, navigation bar background is also white that makes the buttons not clear.

I for some reason cannot login into my TikTok account using my Samsung S24 Ultra Cell Phone it says I'm logging in using a Motorola G Stylus. Where can I find the cookies on the Firefox app to remove the cookies on my phone? Just for your information I have no problem logging in on my tablets or laptop. I have contacted TikTok numerous times and they are no help so I thought maybe if I removed the cookies on my phone it might work. Thank You James Lapery *Email removed for privacy*

Since version 134 of Firefox Android has been out, it crashes EVERY TIME when I try ot use the "back" gesture on my Xiaomi 14(i.e. swiping from right or left side of the screen) I tried Firefox 134, Iceraven 2.27 (also based on the same Gecko) - they act the same. In the same time I also have Waterfox, based in the previous version of Firefox 133, and it responds properly. I guess it is related to the latest version only. Here's the crash log:

static in youtube music even after I uninstalled reinstalled Etc... also went to YouTube directly and there's no problem there it's only when I go through Firefox.

When listening to YouTube in the background, sound is distorted and stutters frequently, which makes it pretty much unusable. Audio is okay when Firefox is in the foreground, but as soon as I lock the phone, audio stutters appear.

I found one fix on Reddit, disabling HD sound in developer options, but I was unable to try it since nobody explained how to get to these developer options, I wasn't able to find that setting myself.

It started happening since 135, was in beta as well. I opted out of beta because of it, but it came on stable release as well so now both beta and stable versions has this issue.

Has anybody encounter that or have fix?

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox where my saved passwords from my desktop aren't syncing to my Android phone. Pressing the "Sync Now" button doesn't trigger any action. I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including removing and readding the device, force stopping the app, clearing cache and data, and manually syncing again, but nothing has worked. It seems like a bug. Any suggestions?

Long pressing the Android back button on the navigation bar no longer displays the tab's history on Firefox Android.

S22 Ultra Android 13

134.0.1 (Build #2016067655)

As of a few weeks ago I no longer get tab history by a long press on the back arrow. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

135.0 (Build #2016070975), hg-17c38d56ca55+ GV: 135.0-20250130195129 AS: 135.0.1

Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

I just discovered a bunch of installed extensions in the list I don't recognize, including several I definitely would not be interested in.

Is this the way Firefox android works?
