Firefox för Android gemenskapsforum

Unfortunately the latest Android/Google update was recently forced onto my phone. I did not realize it triggered a change to Google Play Store to "auto" update apps. [a setting I HAD turned off!] Next time I enabled the Play Store, Firefox was automatically updated.

The moment I realized what had happened, I opened the "sync" setting in the FF browser and clicked to make sure it had just performed a sync. At that time, it showed multiple devices in the "sync family". Then I removed Firefox app from the phone. When I reinstalled from an older operating version of Firefox and went to sync, I had to log into the Mozilla account again.

After trying all the passwords I could think of possibly using, I created a new one. Stupid I know. And sure enough, once I was signed in, there are no other devices shown. And Sync recovered nothing.

I went to another family member phone, who I thought had one of my log in sessions, and they did not. So now I do not have anything sync-ed in, and do not know where I can turn to another device to "find" the old sync either.

When typing Korean using a hardware keyboard (Bluetooth) and Gboard in text fields on web pages in Firefox for Android, IME composition behaves incorrectly.

Korean characters sometimes lose their composition state, individual jamo (consonants and vowels) become separated, characters are inserted at incorrect cursor positions, or newly typed characters overwrite existing text.

Here is an example: Firefox 모방ㅣㄹ로 남ㅏㄴ으ㅣ 길을 갓ㅔ요 Firefox 모방ㅣㄹ은 상ㅛㅇ자엑ㅔ 맞춰서 여ㄹ려 있는 모든 탭과 과거 거ㅁㅇ색ㅓ, 즐겿ㅏㅈ는 상ㅣ트를 그 어느 때보다 수ㅣㅂ게 볼 수 있스ㅂ닏ㅏ.

The problem appears to be specific to Firefox's handling of web page input fields. Korean input via Gboard works normally in other Android applications and Firefox's address bar, which means this is clearly a Firefox issue, not a problem with the Bluetooth keyboard, Gboard, or any other hardware/software. Thank you.

Здравствуйте. Не знаю как вы можете помочь, максимум что могу предложить как то помочь Российским пользователям. Доступнее сделать браузер. Честно я не знаю как вы можете помочь, но прошу помочь. Браузер не работает без VPN

Hi,

I can’t open the admin panel of my own website in Firefox. When I go to the admin login page, Firefox shows a message saying the site is restricted and tells me to check my DNS settings, so I can’t log in. The site itself is online.

Website: Take Me Elsewhere https://takeme-elsewhere.co.uk/ Admin page: [your admin login URL, e.g. https://takeme-elsewhere.co.uk/admin]

The exact error Firefox shows: “[copy the full error message here]”

My setup:

Firefox version: [Menu > Help > About Firefox] Operating system: [e.g. Windows 11 / macOS] Internet connection: [home Wi-Fi / mobile hotspot / office network, plus ISP name] Recent changes: I recently tried moving the domain’s nameservers from Hostinger to Cloudflare and then switched them back.

What happens:

The public homepage [does / does not] load in Firefox. The admin login page shows the restricted/DNS error every time. The same admin page [works / doesn’t work] in Chrome and Edge on the same computer and network. [It works / doesn’t work] on my phone over mobile data.

What I’ve tried so far:

Reloading the page and restarting Firefox Clearing the cache and cookies for this site Opening the page in a private window: [result] [Anything else you tried]

My questions:

What does this “restricted, check your DNS” message mean in Firefox, and what triggers it? Could Firefox’s DNS over HTTPS setting be causing it, especially after my recent nameserver changes? Could an extension, a security setting or my network be blocking the admin page? What settings should I check or reset to log in to my admin panel in Firefox again?

Thanks for your help!

These usually fix it, so try them before posting:

Turn off DNS over HTTPS. In Firefox, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > DNS over HTTPS and set it to Off, then restart Firefox. This is the most common cause after a nameserver change, because Firefox’s DNS provider may still have the old Cloudflare records cached. Flush DNS on your computer. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns. Open the admin page in a private window or with extensions disabled. Ad blockers and security extensions sometimes block /admin pages. Try another network, like mobile hotspot. If it works there, your ISP or router’s DNS is blocking the page, not Firefox.

If one of these fixes it, you won’t need to post. If not, add what you tried to the “What I’ve tried” section so people don’t suggest the same steps.

I don't have an icon for ublock, how do I get one so that I can monitor my usage. If I go into Firefox extensions it says downoaded and working. it doesn't show as an app in "my apps"

I'm running Firefox Nightly on my Galaxy S23. Sometimes when I click a link or enter a new search/site in the search bar, the new page will start to load, then it will automatically retun to the previous page. At that point, the "Forward" option is unclickable (can't easily return to the page that was already partially loaded) and the "Back" option takes me even further back in site history. This is very inconvenient, especially if I typed in a long search that was lost to this bug.

The website I manage for over 20 years, contains a gallery of unique photography, a lot of knowledge nowhere else available. No logins, no passwords, no forms, no payments, no ads, no 3rd party plugins... And this website was marked by Firefox as "risky", because it starts with http:// While thousands of other websites that steal your personal data, that want you to pay for viewing, that display ads after ads, that are greedy only for your money, providing no useful information are "safe" because their address starts with https:// This is complete misunderstanding.
