Komunitné fórum Firefox pre Android

On some websites Firefox blocks entry of texts in text fields manifested in 2 ways: keyboard in Android pops but no text is entered when typing, or no keyboard pops. The tried refreshing pages, switching to desktop mode, clearing browsing data nothing works. Attempting to report this to a site:https://ambientweather.net. Ultimately I had to download and install a different browser to access the site. I was already logged into the site and other field changes were correctly implemented. On pages with 2 search fields, one site-wide and one in my search context, both fields failed When switching to desktop version, I noticed a typical cookie notice which I hoped was taking the focus away from the other fields but closing that notice did not resolve the problem.

While I assume a design implementation error by sites, this may be related to the ongoing memory conflicts one experiences when doing multiple searches on heavy video sites. As with the old Firefox Android, Firefox slows down and can't seem to dump all it's cache, apparently, to handle more input. in those cases a dump of most browsing data generally clears the problem, but didn't help here. I suspect an underlying Firefox cause because I've seen this over several random sites but with no clear pattern. I just revisited the site above and it works as designed now.

Consider this the equivalent to trying to use a PC without a keyboard, it's really a catastrophic fail.

In the latest Firefox for android UI change (dear god, why) there appears to be a new toolbar shortcut. Is it possible to turn this shortcut off, so that the top toolbar only shows |address bar|all tabs|settings|, rather than |address bar|shortcut|all tabs|settings|

Ideally, Id like to go back to the old UI, but I have a feeling that that's not happening.

the stuff firefox on android did to the menu messes me up real bad, why do i have to add a button that i will never use and will always misclick because my hands dont work right? why on earth did you mess with everyones muscle memory, its genuinely making me break down and idk how to change it back without losing all my tabs, please help

After much searching and guesswork, I've finally worked out that the "cross in a box" icon on the Firefox android search bar is to allow qr codes to be scanned. Maybe you could add a tool-tip for these more obscure icons?

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

So either firefox or android (probably firefox) just updated, and it's made a mess of the browser. First of all, the layout of everything has changed - the traffic light menu's at the bottom of th e screen now, completely different, there's a pull bar to see stuff that was previously readily available, the tab icons are longer for some reason but I think they're also skinnier? The hell? It's just generally worse than what it was before. I hate every part of it and want it rolled back on that basis alone, because I actually liked how it worked before, and if I want to change how my phone works I'll do it myself. Stop messing with my stuff, mozilla, I don't come into your house and start moving all your furniture around and putting your cutlery in the wrong drawers, and I'd appreciate it if you returned the courtesy.

But, as annoying - read, infuriating and unnecessary - as that is, that's not the real problem. Oh no. No, that's a personal issue, I'd either learn to live with it or I'd find a modification workaround to get my old UI back. No, the problem is that my previously smooth tab screen - you know, the one where you can see all your tabs open - now lags. Noticeably. How do you mess that up? Seriously, what did you do? It freezes when I'm scrolling up and down! How! How do you do that!

In summary, update bad for UI reasons (please stop moving things for no reason, or at least give us an option to move it back, some of us hate that Really Quite A Lot, to the point where we left chrome over it) but also for previously-nonexistent latency where there absolutely should not be any. I'm on a Fairphone 5, this isn't an ancient brick that barely runs. How do you update something to be actively less functional? Please just roll it back. And if you only take one bit of feedback from me ever, stop touching the UI. It's really annoying. Please. Just don't.

In a recent Firefox update, UI was updated to reflect Material Design. However, some elements aren't displaying as intended. However, the screen with tabs is not displayed on the entire screen (that is, it does not extend into safe zones), although the indents on the screen allow this to be done.

I recently had my firefox mobile for android updated apparently, but it is so user unfriendly and not very accessible in the way that the new layout with the dark tabs and small pictures makes it very hard to read which tabs are open and is unfriendly on the eyes. Is there any way I can revert back to the previous version? I really loved the layout and the user friendliness of it and now I am just considering downloading another browser because I am so bummed by this update. Thanks in advance.

Before that, I had encountered this case as well. After reinstalling, the new menu was applied, but today it reverted to the old one again, and reinstalling no longer works.
