Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi. So I've been having this issue where, I search something in google, it searches what I asked it to. Then I search again and it finds what I asked it to. The third time if I search again it'll go back to the first thing I tried to search as if i just pressed BACK twice. Something similar happens if I search for something, and then if I search the second thing and tap on the website and then press BACK, it'll go back to the first Google result I ssearched. It's been a few weeks this has been happening and the only thing that'll TEMPORARILY fix it is if I close firefox. If you need any more information I'd be happy to help you help me. Thank you!

When I tap a text box to type on some webpages, the page automatically zooms in, making me have to manually zoom out again. I understand why this might be helpful to some people, but I just find it frustrating. Is there a way to disable it? I don't see anything in the accessibility settings and I've tried making my font size bigger, but that didn't work.

I asked AI and this is what it gave me.

Failed Handshake: Recent reports regarding Firefox Mobile version 148.0.1 suggest a regression where the browser fails to trigger the system-level pop-up for passkeys. Instead of showing you the "Use fingerprint/PIN" prompt, it either hangs indefinitely or defaults to a "Passkey required" screen that you cannot bypass. ​System Conflict: There are indications that the March 2026 Android security update may have changed how third-party browsers request "Nearby Bluetooth" permissions for passkeys, which Firefox has not yet fully adapted to.

I'm using a Pixel 10 Pro XL updated to the latest March software update and made sure Firefox mobile was up to date on the Play Store.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

Well you use to have hubs for mozz and other fun web pages to create and explore Firefox in also looking to find ai driven AR web development platforms that work well for things like lens attachments for vr and AR sites that allow me to use a map and camera to view things as another reality live adaptable plug ins to browse webpages and use cloud services that provide enough software services to run a server capable of producing games for these lenses things like googles new xr AR goggles are something to talk about also I thought the mozz webpage was a great way to learn Firefox in a small scale environment connected to the web

I have picture in picture allowed in the settings and it's not working with any video website I've tried. Even the audio stopped until I found an extension that allowed it to continue. I have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with android 16 and one ui 8.5.

Turning off the "Automatically delete browsing history" feature often doesn't allow you to delete "Recently visited tabs." It seems that tab history generated from manually closed bookmarks can't be deleted through this feature either。Hope it can be fixed

I signed into my account earlier today. I received one email from you with a code to insert. Once this was done I then received 2 notification emails acknowledging my having signed in. Is this normal practice or, do I have something to be concerned about. Your comments would be appreciated, thank you. Kind regards J A Campbell

Recently I haven't been able to properly edit my bookmarks. I can't sort them into sub-folders when saving or editing them. The subfolders still exist, I just can't seem to add anything to them. And going further back picture-in-picture doesn't work. It works for another browser but all I get from Firefox is audio only. Solution?

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

Create a Firefox addon that blocks AI search result summaries. They are intrusive and unhelpful. Mozilla Firefox have acknowledged the community's desire for less AI usage, and now is the time to put this into practice, by giving users tools to block AI during their browsing experience.

When starting firefox on android and pc, it will take a long time (in relation to other browsers) to display any webpage I gave set as default. Even Google search takes a long time to display. It's not the speed at which te page is loaded, is the time between the start of firefox and any action. Even the adresbar stays empty during this time as if firefox is stalled. I've installed a fresh Firefox instalation and removed all add-ons (recommended or not) and Firefox still start ms slow. On my pc I can see the cpu and ssd speeds and for a second of 15, while Firefox loads, the cpu usage seems normal (6 core with no other program using all cpu cores or without any cores above 15%) and the ssd (NVMe) isn't even above 1%.

And with the android version, switching temporary to another program (to look something up) causes the webpage te become blank or black and requires an refresh (for instance, if I switch to another app, this page will be blank, or back and all this text wil be gone because I have to reload thus page) it only affects the web pages, not Firefox itself (the menu an adresbar wil stil display correct) and the refresh, no matter how fast it loads after the initial firefox start, Will be as slow as if firefox is (again) starting.

I do not want to switch to another browser. Even with these annoying problems, but if these problems can be removed, I will enjoy firefox even more!

First, the Dark Reader extension does not work properly. Often, pages are displayed in black. I have to disable it. Second: X pages are not displayed (boring problem with strict mode) In both cases, I have no problem using Duck Duck Go.

Backup and sync is not working on the phone and it's starting to piss me off beyond belief because this is why I got rid of Firefox in the first goddamn place. The sync button is not working at all I cannot get it to sync at all to my desktop nothing is working and I can't access my passwords I can't access nothing.
