Firefox for Android Community Forum

It started with Amazon/Kindle. Couldn't buy books through the Amazon App so I had a workaround which put me into the full site amazon.co.uk. Not anymore. Firefox redirects me into the App regardless. I can only get into the full site now by uninstalling Amazon Shopping. That's silly. Now, Firefox is blocking legitimate site links from my emails, like Greenpeace, for example. Variations on "site blocked" messages. Switching to DuckDuckGo avoids all these issues. I've been with Firefox for decades and would rather stick with you - I have two VPN accounts (and 12 machines) with you as well. Jon Lisle-Summers, [email address]

How do you stop auto refresh while on Facebook website? I'm using Firefox for Android and I access my SocMed accounts via websites no resource giving app. With that said I guess FB has page refresh enforced into the it's HTML and it's very annoying. I've set my PC browser to block auto refresh but can't find a solution for Android.

Whilst viewing news stories in Google, I keep getting pages that do not load, so I go to settings – apps- Firefox, scroll down to memory and clear the cache. I go bag to Google new click the link and most of the time I am taken to the page and can read the article (but not every time). But the page not loading happens frequently and it is becoming a pain having to clear the cache over and over again. Is there a shortcut I can use to reach Firefox memory or is there a way of stopping Firefox to clear the cache as it is created.

I am writing to report an issue with the page frequently auto-refreshing. This feature causes a significant disruption, especially when I am in the middle of entering information into data fields, such as forms, passwords, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Every time the page automatically refreshes, all the data I have input is lost, forcing me to restart the process from the very beginning. This happens repeatedly and is extremely frustrating.

I request that this auto-refresh functionality be disabled. It would be much better if the refresh action could only be initiated manually by the user. This would ensure that data being entered remains intact without interruptions that cause the process to restart.

Subject: Issue Report: Automatic Page Refresh Causes Data Loss in Formsbold text

Problem Description: The page/screen automatically and continuously refreshes on its own without user command.

Impact of the Issue: This automatic refresh is highly disruptive because:

1. It erases all data currently being entered into forms (e.g., user details, passwords, OTPs).

2. It forces the user to repeatedly restart the data entry process from scratch.

3. It significantly hinders and slows down the completion of any task on the page.

Suggested Solution: Please disable the automatic refresh feature. The refresh action should be user-initiated only (e.g., via a manual refresh button or a "pull-to-refresh" gesture) to prevent data loss during input. Thank you.

On Facebook, or other websites that have a text enter box that appears on the bottom, my keypad covers it and I need to scroll up to see what I've typed in and it Zooms back up to cover the text box as soon as I input a key. Whats going on?

I'm sure if I just don't know how to use it correctly or maybe I installed to many extensions that are conflicting but the private browsers won't work. Anybody got idea why this would be.

Hello, Long time user and lover. Never had any problems with your great browser. This past week, on my phone, Firefox has been flagged "high battery background usage" and is continuously trying to put app to deep sleep. What has happened? How do I stop this? Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated Thanks Scott

Browsing on firefox mobil gets very hot and laggy super quickly, brosing shouldn't be a heavy workload, but only in firefox my phone heats up and get lag super quickly until it became unbearable in terms of lag and temperature, after some searching I found out that this was a common issue and why didn't Mozilla fix this, it's a major known issue

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

My English level is not very good. I use translation software. Please forgive my language mistakes. When restoring from the background, all web pages will be reloaded. When restoring from the background, any web page with the label < header class > will cause the page to jump at the beginning and end of < header class >.

Hey new developement team you might as well remove and redo the entire support section. Tons of features, places we are pointed to-go to, options and whatever else were completely removed or moved to entirely different areas before the precovid developers were able to change it themselves upon being let go. Some spots the support points to more advanced features that the browser itself doesn't actually have anymore, because regressing 2015-1998 features somehow saves money? Removing features and functions that are up to 20+ yrs old seems like more work than just leaving them but what do I know... But the information on here is almost 5 yrs old now and desperately needs a complete rehaul. I don't know how many of ya they brought back but might want to play some catch up on one of the most important sections. I see tons of posts everywhere of people giving up and going to Brave or whatever instead because of this alone. Just as with a book, movie, whatever the beginning just as important as the end when it comes to capturing attention and sales..... Regards from every currently overly frustrated user that's also sick of/dealing with Windows (esp Win11) and Googles nonstop bombardment of bs.
