Forum Asistence për Firefox për Android

Having an issue where if i try to download a file, if the name is the same as another file on device, it just automatically overwrites it without asking to rename or save in another location. This becomes a problem when a lot of people just name their files 1,2,3 etc. And I end up losing something important.

Is there any way to either stop the overwrite happening, or to be asked to name a file when downloading, I notice there are no download/save menus in the settings, and the advice online of going to about:config just takes me to a broken blank page.

Any help?

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.

And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

I was using the camera so that I could virtually try on a product. For the longest time the camera listing stayed on for quite awhile. I'm wondering if this is a typical thing or is this a glitch

When a message box appears in portrait mode, it is centered off the screen as if it isn't scale properly. As a result, you cannot click "accept" or "cancel" without rotating the device to be in landscape mode.

A screenshot is attached showing the bug.

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.

This is driving me insane. On mobile data (3,4,5g) Firefox will not open any websites, it just sits with a white page until eventually I get "connection reset". Every other browser on the device works fine though, and Firefox can access sites when on WiFi.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the main app *and* installed focus,beta and nightly versions,all have the same problems. Permissions on mobile data are allowed.

I cannot even get a sensible log or network trace out of the browser as there are no Dev tools.

It sometimes feels like Mozilla are trying their absolute hardest to lose users, I even had had the old "browser uses 12gb of memory for two tabs" problem on desktop the other week.

Specs: Android 13 Pixel 5 with latest version of Firefox installed.

Issue: This problem has existed for months for me.

audio stutters or more so swiftly cuts in and out.

Sometimes the video itself stutters/lags.

Taping the full screen icon puts the app in the background. Upon reopening it, the entire app looks like it's hanging off the side of the screen.

Example attached.

I watch a YouTube video in full screen mode. I turn the phone sideways to fill the screen. When I turn the phone back up right I get a consistent problem. I see half of the full screen. I see the left side of the screen and I can't scroll over to the right side of the screen to change tabs. So I'm stuck. I have updated and reinstalled Firefox several times. Imagine your screen shows half of a full screen. It's always the left half. If I turn my phone back horizontal then I see everything. But when I turn my phone back up right it doesn't leave full screen mode. Instead it shows me half of full screen mode. Thanks for your assistance.

I love to watch highlights of cricket ICC World Cup from icc-cricket official website but after full screen the screen goes completely black , only sound is audible though.

Hello,

On Firefox for Android, I get "Proxy is refusing connection" error while attempting to connect to any site on the Internet. But I didn't configure any proxy connection for Firefox! Moreover, this error happens when I use my home Wi-Fi network, but browser works properly when using cellular data or any other Wi-Fi network. Also, browser works for some time if I start VPN (Psiphon in my case), stop Firefox through Android settings, clear cache and start the browser again.

Best regards, Peter

I recently moved to a new phone, Samsung S23+ after being on a OnePlus phone for several years. My new phone is much beefier but has been suffering from frequent crashes (it actually just crashed as I was typing this part.)

The crashes all seem to be variations of:

I've tried the beta version of Firefox android, I've tried with and without add-ons, I'm not sure what else to try.

Something that I noticed and thought might be related is that I had 4.7GB of background mobile data usage over the past month. I tried turning off background data usage, but it is still crashing.

Dear All, have been using the Pocket reader for many years now, like it very much. I subscribe to regular Pocket Hits email, weekly to my inbox.

 Have not been sent these for 3 weeks.  Anyone make suggestions as to why this might be?

I love Firefox. Haven't used ANYTHING else for years

Android 10

I don't use Facebook. When I click on a company's Facebook search result to open in Firefox... It tries to open in another app that can't open it, like a maps app or something like that.

Firefox is set as my choice as browser to open links with.

To be clear, when I click on the search result to open it, I am only given two choices that I can't use and don't want. This seems to only happen with Facebook. It doesn't give Facebook as a choice, which I don't use anyway

Thank you Dr Mark

I keep reading and not finding what I'm looking for. I have Firefox on my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet. I'm signed in to the same account on both but they show their own histories and bookmarks.. How do I get them both to show the same thing??
