Firefox for Android Community Forum

Once upon a time Mozilla Firefox was a great little browser..No clanging bells and whistle and sirens that pestered one about all the great wonderful features, each one a must have. Page after page of 'look at all the meat things we added." And maybe, justcmaybe, we could get around to what we wanted to do and look up the next showtime. A simple Blue smiley button that also said "New!" somewhere up top, perhaps a little bigger than the others and blinking/winking😎every now oand then would do. When did Mozilla decide it was all about Mozilla, and not about the customer, and tell us so every update. You know, like Micro squash does?😒 ry now🙃

Early this morning, the Play Store notified me there was an update for Firefox. I went to my Play Store account and downloaded the new update. After the download, I tried opening Firefox by tapping on the icon. Firefox tried to open but immediately closed. This keeps happening, even now. I did get one message from my phone saying "this version of Firefox is not compatible with your phone". Never had any problems like this before.

The download will stop and refuse to download and saw failed I can't monitor the download in the app only on the notification if ín clear it the download fails even without clearing it it will just stop at 46gb and refuse to download the rest 31.33mb refuse to download the rest it's not my network I'm a android user

I have installed web apps to firefox on my phone by using menu -> Add to Home Screen Now that they are installed, though, I cannot get rid of them. Even if I delete the icons from my home screen, they show up in the menu when I long tap on the firefox app icon and still act as apps there. I have looked for a way to remove them and have not found one. Is there no other option than wiping firefox's data?

Greetings:

An email I recently received doesn't show apostrophes correctly. The character is shown as a wing ding instead. The displayed character is a rectangle with an "X" inside it instead of an apostrophe. How can this be corrected? Thanks very much for your help!

On a certain website, starting only after I installed the latest update,when I attempt to type into a text box nearly the entire screen disappears and goes white. Before, the screen did not change and I could watch the words I was typing appear in the text box. Now, I can see nothing. I'm typing, and when I minimize the keyboard (Gboard, same as I've always used) the screen goes back to normal, but while I'm typing there's nothing but white.

Occasionally/rarely, this does not happen and everything works as it did before I installed the update, but most of the time I get the white screen.

I did not update anything else nor do anything with the settings. I literally posted a message on that site, updated Firefox, then went back to the site and suddenly had the white screen problem.

I'm attaching two images. One is a screenshot of the discussion showing the text entry box and the other is a photo of what the screen looks like when I tap in the box to enter text. I cannot get an actual screenshot of the white screen because attempting to take one minimizes the keyboard and the problem only occurs when the keyboard is in use. I masked a lot of stuff on the images because it's a private and secure site. I'd be willing to share more information only with the Mozilla technical team.

I updated to version 142.0 on 26 August 2025 on my tablet running Android 10. When I went to my favorite website and tried to enter text into a text box in a discussion forum the screen went dead white behind my keyboard and brlow the URL bar. I couldn't see what I was typing nor anything of the website (which has a black background).

This is repeating on discussion forums but not in private messaging. As soon as I make my keyboard (Gboard, latest release) disappear the website comes back.

Definitely related to the update, as five minutes before I downloaded it everything was working perfectly. I cannot get a screenshot because as soon as I try, Gboard disappears and the website screen returns.

Any ideas?

(Also, is there a way to tell Mozilla directly rather than crowdsourcing a tech problem they created?)

I wana use fire fox to not allow for google and windows to have complete and utter control over the open web, so I wana use fire fox, one issue, I cant fully transfer all my accounts from google to fire fox, and when I sign in, and my phone tries to search for a password to use, it doesn't use Firefox password manager, so if there could be an update to add cleanly transferring passwords and bookmarks on mobile that would be amazing

I was playing quite well and managed to withdraw some plenty of money but right after the withdrawal, was unable to continue with ease and the browser sent me a message saying that my connection wasn't safe but I recalled that I had changed various settings in my firefox browser as well as the phone developer options, kindly assist me restore back to normal soon and protect my account from any malware and suggest how to stop any other parties from accessing my IP Address

cannot connect to Zoom with an email link I receive links through yahoo email...the links don't work. I get odd popup...(triangle with exclamation point) telling me to get the app - which I have. I've shut down - uninstalled/reinstalled both firefox and zoom...a couple of times

Firefox automatically reroutes me to the Amazon app when I'm trying to buy Kindle books on the full website. Thanks to some fallout you can't buy Kindle on the app. Is there any way to switch the auto-route off? ATM, I'm using Duck Duck Go..... Which is interfering with my Mozilla VPN.

Hey guys here lately everytime I open my phone a popup from a game site or YouTube pops up abd fills the page, I cant find anywhere in your settings to stop this. Doesn't matter on what browser I use.
