Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hello to all. I am writing to ask for help with sync for Android. I have 2 Samsung devices: my S24, which is my phone, and my Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, which is my tablet. I do have an HP laptop, running Windows 11. That device is fine.

I recently noticed both of my devices had the same model # shown up under my Firefox. {it was my tablet.} Idk why. So I read online, that I should sign out, then sign back in, to fix this. So I signed out on both devices, at the same time. I closed both windows, then I restarted both devices, & then signed back in, at the same time. My S24 is fine, but my S10 FE+ is not. It won't sync. So I repeated the same steps with it, and it still will not sync. So I went to my Mozilla Account, then Connected Services, to see the list of devices. I did note a duplicate device, not sure which one. There was no name. I did sign out of it there, but otherwise, everything else looks good. I also pulled up some articles online & troubleshooted, but again nothing. I'm now doing a hard reboot, which is where I turn it off, then wait for at least 5 minutes. Then I'll turn it back on. Nope, nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this, please? I have no idea as to how to go around the matter by manually doing everything like once a day. I mean, yikes. Thank you for any help, seriously.

Sometimes I want to enter arbitrary IPA strings into websites from my phone. I've tried finding a privacy-respecting way to conveniently do this and the best way I've found so far is to use the app Unicode Keyboard by Tim Wunderlich, available on the Google Play Store, and enter the code point for the IPA letters or diacritics I want. This works in every other app, but in Firefox, there are two characters I can't enter this way - the combining grave diacritic U+0300 and the combining acute diacritic U+0301. Even other combining diacritica work. I like researching and talking about linguistics and conlanging online, and sometimes this involves using those diacritics to mark tones. This is such an odd specific incapability for Firefox to have but it has persisted, since at least as far back as 2024. I've just had to enter those diacritics in another app and copy&paste them in. I can enter the diacritics directly as keyboard input in Firefox on Windows and GNU/Linux.

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

I logged into my firefox account on my mobile to sync all the data from my PC. But I didn't remember the password and did not have access to my PC. So I reset my firefox password and that caused all data to be deleted like passwords and bookmarks. What can I do to recover that? Please help.

I tried it, it loads through EDGE, but through yours, if I enter it into the search, it loads at 70%, but the page still seems to work, albeit slowly. I didn’t have such problems with EDGE, I’m in Russia

is only working intermittently on Samsung flip 4

I have tried to resolve by changing settings in HTTPS ONLY, DNS over HTTPS and Enhanced Tracking Protection from strict to standard to strict and now custom blocking everything as well as all third party cookies.

signed out and back in to Google Account

the only thing I haven't tried is reinstall I have a lot of different bookmark collection and it's a pain to replace them

I truly enjoy using Firefox for mobile and I am trying to make it by default browser but I have such a horrible time with the pitch to zoo. I am visually impaired so the pins to zoom is a must-have for me, there are so many sites that I use this and the page jumps and never stays in place especially on YouTube. I feel that I have adjusted all the settings recommended to me inside Firefox in addition to changing configurations like the AKA settings to false or to true which I always I don't want to have to go back to Chrome so is there anything you can recommend or do for me all help is truly appreciated thank yourecommended but nothing has seen to help. Even as I type this up I lost my place and pinch to zoom to find it and the page jumped to the top several times any help to resolve this would be so much appreciated thank you very much. One last thing I do keep everything in desktop mode because it's easier for me to see not sure if that matters.
