Komunitné fórum Firefox pre Android

When I make a screenshot in private browsing the picture is black. With my former android there was no problem. Now I have a fairphone 6 and I can no longer make the screenshots in private browsing. Is there a solution fot this problem or do I need to switch to normal browsing whenever I want to make a screenshot?

Long story short, I want to view a link from a QR code, but I don't want to open it in Firefox itself. I fear that doing so would expose me to scams. So, I want the link prompt (deny or allow) to allow me to copy the url, so that I can paste it in a different browser.

Is firefox safe? How is it's privacy compared to chrome and edge? Is firefox at par with chrome and edge? In terms of popularity compared to chrome and edge -- how does firefox stand?

Hi,

Super cool site-isolation is now rolled out for Firefox Android!

I was checking the 'about:memory' and 'about:process' info pages and noted that there only seems two different processes for all tabs. As Firefox desktop achieves site-isolation via different processes per tab I was wondering if on my android device its correctly enabled. Can you elaborate if this is intended and how the site-isolation on android works?

Thanks!

Recently, when trying to redirect to a random scp on the scp wiki, a pop-up has strated to appear asking "Allow redirection to this site?". It's annoying and started happening like two days ago. Also clicking allow doesn't even redirect you. How do I turn this off?

Прошу припинити підтримку Firefox на Android 8/9.

Ці версії ОС більше не підтримуються та не отримують оновлень безпеки. Надання підтримки старим версіям створює ризики для користувачів (шкідливе ПЗ, викрадення даних, експлойти).

Це питання безпеки та відповідальності розробника, а не сумісності.

I cannot find the specific settings option (such as "Deceptive content and dangerous software protection" or a similar toggle) to disable the blocking for a particular website that I believe is safe. i want to turn off it

Many of us have AI and its features forced down our devices, apps and browsers without the option to opt-out or make a choice, and this makes them run slow and inefficiently becoming unreliable with the additional bloated memory and software.

Firefox claims they're always looking out to protect the privacy and data of their users, but with implementing AI we have the right to doubt this move and consider giving up on Firefox altogether for a more secure, browsing alternative.

Firefox used to be known as a browser you can trust in competition with others to bring an accessible and reliable browsing experience, listening to their customers feedback but as it turns out that'll no longer the case if the new CEO plans to clog it with unnecessary AI features.

I truly hope they see our feedback and pushback because this decision is not an upgrade but a disappointing downgrade.

It's absolutely bonkers that the only major browser that anti ai ppl use is caving to the dangerous fad of ai garbage. Not only is it putting user privacy and security on the line, it also gives up the biggest thing people choose Firefox over Chrome for. We don't want to be spied on to feed algorithms that funnel our data into greedy companies to make them bigger profits. We want a reliable, safe browser that doesn't sell our data to the highest bidder. Removing that edge is ridiculous and actively enrages the userbase; we will just jump ship and move to a better browser that doesn't use ai.

I don't think any security and privacy aware browser user is using Firefox for access to privacy violating AI. This was the only browser that was still secure and functional and now apparently that's all getting trashed? No one wants AI. Your userbase is using Firefox because it isn't rotted through with AI. So why is Mozilla betraying us all to add AI? Sell outs.

My browser has been infected with Porto sites that I have trying to remove, but they just returned through emails and web posts How do I permanently remove and block them?

So I have been hacked by somebody I'm pretty sure and I think you guys have found the link between us I would like to know how to get this taken care of so I can cut them off and get them off of my phone I need somebody's help as soon as possible thank you

i chose firefox for the customization and privacy features. you built this browser's user base on your dedication to protecting our data, time to follow up. how will you protect user privacy when LLMs and generative AI feed endlessly on our data? why boast customization and then add a feature that cannot be modified or turned off in a simple, accessible manner? i fear for the safety of my data and privacy with the addition of AI features. if this integration is not cancelled, i will be deleting firefox.

I'm giving my old Galaxy S7 to a friend, I've got her a prepaid SIM and put it into the S7 (my own SIM has gone into a new S22). I've managed to set up the S7 to sync with her data via DAVx5, Thunderbird was easy to set up thanks to the QR-Code export, and various other things worked as expected.

BUT she uses firefox sync, and so do I. I deinstalled firefox on the S7, and reinstalled it, and changed to her sync account - but all my own personal data (bookmarks, chronology etc) are still there. That's not only really annoying, but also a breach of my private sphere.

Google KI tells me to give her sync account a new password, before doing that decoupling from sync on all used devices; we have five, so that would be a real pain. The only other option I see is a factory reset and then repeat all the work setting up the S7.

So what I'm asking for is an option when firefox is deinstalled, or as an extra option in the settings, to delete all stored personal data.
