Komunitné fórum Firefox pre Android

My Firefox browser on Android is very slow. YouTube videos buffer and lag. Pages take a long time to load. Sometimes Firefox freezes or crashes. Please help me fix performance and video playback issues. My phone has limited RAM and storage

I have only 4GB RAM and that can be an additional factor that causes this issue. When I listen to Youtube Premium in the background (with video window hidden) and switch to Firefox, Youtube Android App is killed. Same thing happen with Youtube Music from time to time. For Youtube, I can workarund this issue by keeping video in Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode.

Hello, hope this message finds you well, I've had a comment made on Google Play and I was requested to contact through the support of this chat (for context I've attached the screenshot) and regarding that question "where does this issue usually happens?" And it usually happens on forums such as LinkedIn forums like or indeed or anything where you have a forum of "writing a names, address, location, education" etc when alt tabbing from my phone going to gallery or files or etc, and going back to Firefox on mobile the page had fully refreshed by itself and losing the whole progress and I have to re-write them, the auto-refresh seems to happen overall in general not only in forums, even when I'm looking at images it auto-refreshes whenever re-opening the app again.

I've only had this issue on mobile for awhile only with Firefox Mobile, I've given a shot to Google Chrome, Mi Browser etc and they don't auto-refresh and loses progress, I personally love Firefox and I would love to remain loyal to this brand, however I hope there would be a fix for this.

Thanks,

Sincerely, Adam A.

I play games via android on PC using MuMu emulator, However the text becomesdistorted/cut off and little patches of colorful static patches appear when I scroll up or down. This is a problem on EVERY emulator I tried so far. This includes Memu and bluestacks as well as MuMu. They are ALL updated and I run the emulator using 8 core 16GB ram with DirectX and medium graphic settings. I tried low graphics and high and Max graphics all same issue. I tried using Vulkan and even the lowest graphic engine and SAME issue. This started happening after one of your updates but not sure which one because I just started using emulators again after many years of looking for emulator that does not bombard u with bloody Ad's..

Would appreciate it MUCH if you can fix this issue so I can use firefox to search for apk apps and games, I WILL NOT use anything that is based of Chrome aka Chromium (also a known in MANY verisons as a VERY dangerous and destructive malware/virus) and I also found a hidden remote access plugin on PC version too.

I been a devout Mozilla firefox user since firefox version was still in single digits, aka Ver 3.6 (example, I started at around Ver 5.x or 6.x hard to remember)..

I’m using a decent mid-range phone, and I usually keep only two apps in the recent apps list and a single tab open in Firefox. But every time I switch from Firefox to another app... like the gallery or file manager to upload a file or attach a PDF... the Firefox tab reloads when I come back. This completely resets whatever I was doing on the site, which is extremely frustrating.

The browser feels too memory-hungry and poorly optimized, even when I’m using just one tab. At this point, I’m honestly considering uninstalling Firefox and switching to a different browser, even though I’ve been using Firefox as my default on both Windows and Android for years. I really don’t like the Chromium-based alternatives, but it feels like my hands are tied.

Firefox runs in background even after menu quit option with clear all browser history (proper exit). Firefox heats my phone while using. I am using Android 13 phone.

I left a review and was asked to post this here so here goes. Firefox on android is currently the highest user of power on my Google Pixel 8 android phone. From the battery usage data (since last full charge) Firefox has used: Screen time: 2hrs 33mins Background: 5hrs 46mins Totalling 19% battery usage. Even though I turned OFF allow app to run in background!! Before I turned this off, the battery usage was similar. In comparison: WhatsApp -the next highest- is: Screen time: 1hr 42mins Background: 17hrs 52mins Totalling 14% battery usage. With allow app to run in background ON.

The only thing I can think of causing this is the annoying (in my opinion) way that Firefox does not close down all open tabs when I close the app (by hitting the square control button and hitting clear all open apps button) are they still keeping Firefox running in the background as they refresh?

PLEASE add a setting to close all tabs when closing the app. When I close Firefox on my PC and then open it again, I don't get my old tabs, so it must be possible to do on android.

Pls help me my Firefox is now not working.pls adjustable and I will maintain your term and condition.Heylink.me not working if how to want.preview not show and adjust.pls help me

Firefox on my wife's phone keeps randomly opening. How do I figure out what's causing this. First we noticed it happened when she plugs in an auxgzilery battery pack but then it's randomly opening anytime. What should I try to fix this. I thought I would remove and reinstall Firefox but I just figured the settings would remain as they are.

On my Samsung Galaxy s6 when I try to add to the home screen and then choose the option to tap and hold and drag to the screen, it just closes the app it is nothing. It doesn't work. The text options from the pop-up do work but the main graphic where it's trying to get you to drag and drop it does not work.

Every time I have a slow download speed that causes failure after interruption, I have to open the system's own browser, but the system's built-in browser is dozens of times the download speed, and there has never been a failure. The web page opening speed I have tested with the same search engine Bing search shows that the system only takes 3 seconds. Although the mobile version of Firefox also opens in seconds, it takes six seconds. I like Firefox very much, but it would be better if the mobile version could be improved.

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

If i search a topic, then search another topic, find a relevant page, then scroll back, it scrolls back to the original search topic and not what I last searched, then I have to type it again.

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

The new menu doesn't contain at least two very requently used actions:

- reload the page - go forward

There is no way to disable the new menu and revert the old behavior.
