Firefox kwa Android Community Forum

I've installed Firefox cause I get to know it's not chromium based, It seems fun but the sites are not loading properly, google search is not functioning normally like the ai mode or the ai summary you get It's not working and site are taking too much time to load I've only installed the recommended extensions maybe that could be the reason but I don't know and you guys should improve the UI make more character to it that's all you guys are doing great best regards

Since the November 6th update, my input from SwiftKey keyboard specifically on Duckduckgo site (not when searching from Firefox address bar) is being very disrupted. Single click on spacebar is ignored and autocomplet filles in a different spot than the cursor. This doesn't happen an any other website an also does not happen on chrome for android on Duckduckgo. Also this does not happen with gboard in Firefox. Any ideas?

Since a year or so there is a bug in the Firefox mobile browser where at the end of a chessgame on Lichess.org the browser will hang if you click New Opponent. After clicking the button it sends you to an URL like this: https://lichess.org/?hook_like=52XDuQry but then it just stops loading and chrashes the browser app.

Before the last update this would not pertain after I force stopped the app. but now it will hang even after that. I have the browser set up to delete all browsingdata on Quit, but even that doesn't work anymore, since the browser will just hang with a popup 'deleting browsingdata'

I use GBoard on both my phone and my Galaxy A8. I often have to switch from one language to another when I write posts or comments and each time GBoard minimises after I changed languages. This is highly frustrating. Is this a known problem? If it is when will it be fixed? Thank you. P.S. : this doesn't happen in other browsers

I'm looking at buying an online course and each time I visit the website their prices are displayed in dollars. I'm not using anything to change my location and my Firefox settings all allow sites to detect my location. Furthermore, if I use Chrome my correct location is detected and prices are displayed in my local currency (euro).

How do I fix this issue?

Safeway is a store where they sell food and other things. I shop online for food and then I go to the store and pick up the food. Using Firefox it won't show the food I'm looking for. For example I'll select vegetables and they'll show me the 7,000 vegetables and then I select fresh vegetables from their drop-down menu and it says zero there are no fresh vegetables try spelling better. But if I use Chrome no problem none. I don't want to use Chrome. This happens with every group of food when it gets down to the final subsection that I want it won't show it to me. I've turned off extensions I've turned off ad blockers I've emptied my cash restarted my computer I unplugged it plugged it back in. I refreshed Firefox I'm running silicon chip on my Mac mini 2020 I believe.

Issue: Critical Rendering Failure and Script Latency on Polybuzz.ai I am reporting a consistent issue where modern AI platforms, specifically Polybuzz.ai, fail to function correctly on Firefox (both Android and Linux). Despite being a loyal user since 2004, the current performance gap compared to Chromium browsers is making daily tasks impossible. Core Technical Problems: Layout Corruption: Even in Desktop Mode, the UI breaks, elements overlap, and CSS grids do not render properly. High Input Lag: Massive delays in JavaScript execution, causing the browser to become unresponsive during site interaction. Engine-Level Issues: The problem persists on both Android (latest stable) and Linux (Zorin OS/Linux Mint), suggesting a fundamental issue with the Gecko engine's handling of heavy AI frameworks. Troubleshooting Done: Tested with Enhanced Tracking Protection both ON (Standard) and OFF. Cleared all site data and cache. Verified that the same site runs smoothly on Chromium-based browsers on the same network/device. Please investigate Gecko’s compatibility with these modern web standards. Screenshots of the broken UI are attached for reference.

Hi, I am reporting a severe issue on Android 15. On YouTube, the "Auto-next" feature and background playback fail. The next song plays for only 0.1 seconds and stops. I have personally tested this on 8 different Android 15 devices (Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Realme). Chromium-based browsers like Brave work fine, but Firefox is being blocked. Please fix this discrimination.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox for Android (149.0.1) on OnePlus Nord (Android 12). I love Firefox and I enjoy having extensions on my phone.

Unfortunately, for some websites (particularly, German news: https://www.zdfheute.de/), Firefox gets stuck loading the website, only showing the empty screen, address bar, and the half-way completed loading bar -- without any progress even after a minute. This happens 50% or more of the times (not 100%), even with ad block turned off.

Opening the same page on Chrome loads instantly.

everytime i try to upload an image on a website or whatever as a profile picture, it would be low quality, im talking VERY pixelated, not all but MOST, the website is completely fine but there's just something wrong about my firefox, i try to have a profile picture? LOW QUALITY, tiktok? LOW QUALITY, etcetera? LOW QUALITY, at first i thought it was just the website that was broken, but its my firefox, i tried to do everything but just cant fix it, "UPDATE YOUR FIREFOX!!" it is the latest version already, just give me tips, if nothing works, firefox, fix the issue, its probably a rendering issue, if i download an image right, good quality, nothings wrong, and when i have it as my profile picture, instantly pixelated, basically, good quality → upload → low quality

I am unable to view the comments section after articles on Yahoo. When I click on the link the comments section link disappears. When I try the links using a different browser I am able to get to the comments section with no problem.

Hi, I quite often find that sometimes Firefox will not work. When this happens I have to switch to Chrome in order to do what I want to do. Some websites don't work with Firefox.

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.

Youtube's mobile site isn't loading since the new Firefox update. It gets to the attached screen then doesn't go any farther and I can't click on anything. I tried disabling my extensions and this didn't fix the problem. The desktop site loads but is not very mobile friendly.

A site I use, bestcrosswords.com, has been acting weirdly since late on 11/18. Instead of the highlighting changing with the active word, the highlighting has gone completely haywire. I have already posted regarding that and filed a bug report (the problem does not occur in DuckDuckGo), but the site has started giving a suggestion I cannot follow.

Please see the image. I can see how the suggestion works on a desktop, but not a phone. Please forgive me if it's considered too obvious to document, but despite searching the phone's software and the Web for advice, I cannot find anyway to follow the site's suggestion.

Could someone clarify the point for me?

Thank you.
