Komunitné fórum Firefox pre Android

Has anyone found possibly a fix in about config section to fix the bug where Firefox doesn't load titles correctly in tabs? Before it wasn't so bad when tablets didn't have tab bar. Now that tables do have this feature, it would be great to fix this long standing issue. Using Firefox can be an eyesore sometimes seeing this on almost half or more of my tabs.

Image as an example. It loads this way everytime on a link off ESPN. You can get it to display correctly if you refresh the page.

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.

Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?

Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks

In previous versions there was the option to "select all tabs" and then comfortably send these to whatever program on android i selected (i choose my messenger to share them with another person for example or sent them to a textprogram to export the tabs to a list) now the "select all tabs" option is no more and i have to select every tab ONE BY ONE which is a horrible experience if oyu have 100+ tabs open. i do not understand why the "select al ltabs" option has been removed (maybe due to the new UI style?) and kindly ask to restore the option to "SELECT ALL TABS", this would greatly improve useability, many thanks!

On Android, with the OS set to use the bottom 3 buttons (back, home, app switcher) and Firefox set to use bottom address bar, when multiple tabs are open, closing a tab causes the "Tab Closed" bar to cover the lowest tab in the list.

This causes problems when trying to close multiple tabs because it's no longer possible to hit the "X" marking on the next tab without swiping the box away first.

I don't recall exactly then this became a problem, but it was fine until a few months ago and then a change caused this issue to start.

There's a lot of empty space in the box, maybe smush the box to the left side of the screen so the next tab is still able to be closed?

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

When I close the last tab in the list of tabs, the notification that pops up blocks the "x" for the next tab. This makes it tedious to close multiple tabs, since I have to wait for the notification to disappear before being able to close the next tab. Are there any work-arounds?

There is a numbers left address bar, when I click there is nothing but a word create new tab for searching. I have to swipe left right all over to find the right tab i want. Do not tel me that I can search tab,, it's not ver confinence.. it is stressful

When the "Delete browsing data on exit" feature is enabled in Firefox for Android, the app correctly clears selected data types (e.g., Browsing history, Cookies, Cache) upon exit. However, the "Recently closed tabs"list is completely unaffected and remains intact after restarting the app.

I had about 20 tabs in my "Inactive tabs" on Firefox mobile. Today I wanted to open one of them, but all gone. I can't even found them in "recently closed tabs". This is very upsetting because some of them was very important for me.

I have firefox for android installed and have set up "delete browsing data on quit". I made sure all boxes are ticked and when I press quit it does delete my browsing data, however the recently closed tabs section still keeps all its info retained, in effect my browsing history does not get deleted until I do it manually and then quit firefox. I deleted the app cache and when that did not work, I did a fresh reinstall of the firefox app and the issue still persists.

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

Earlier tab switcher in Firefox mobile had half screen height which was easily accessible by one hand but now it's on the top of screen which is harder to reach.

At least there should be an option to switch between the two or bring back the old tab switcher and make it go full screen if swiped up and half screen when swiped down.

This one is just killing me reach to the top of screen every time.

In Firefox Android, there's an option to automatically close tabs after one day, one week or one month.

I'd like to set it to 1 or 2 hours.

Is it possible? Maybe through about:config menu?

Thanks.

Pretty much the title. This sounds like some Microsoft level stuff. Forcing a UI change for no reason. A few days ago it started. That was interesting because the play store was showing no recent updates.

My UI on my tab screen had changed, though. I was able to revert back by turning off "Tab Enhancements" in the secret settings menu.

Now, this morning, I wake up and the tab menu has reverted back to the "new" UI. I went back into secret settings and then option is no longer there. Google play says I have now updated to 1.49.

WTH?

After a recent update, I've found the swipe to delete function extremely cumbersome to use. it used to be that i could quickly swipe a tab and it would reliably get deleted. now, it doesn't delete the tab unless I move my finger further than what's comfortable while gripping my phone one handed. I basically only use the x icon now since swiping is so inconsistent.

Using a mouse where before the user could swipe on the address bar to switch to adjacent tabs, now there's a tab strip which does not respond to a mouse (either scroll wheel or swiping, dragging just arranges the tab) and swiping on the address bar no longer works.

Now it looks like the desktop version but doesn't work like it.

Is there a setting to fix this or is it on the roadmap?

Is there any way to revert the new UI changes in Firefox for Android Mobile? The 3 dots are barely visible, the tabs in grid view are huge and take a lot of effort with thumb movement to scroll through. We now have a lot less visible pages.

Please stop fixing things that aren't broken! I just installed the new version of Firefox for Android and I hate having tabs strewn across the the top of the screen. Many of them are personal and private and I want them hidden from view. The previous version of fox for Android work just fine for me, this one doesn't. Is it possible to remove them from you?
