Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have animations disabled in Android, but Firefox seems to not honour it as of 1-2 days ago. When I close a tab (viewing tabs, swiping left/right on a tab) it now does some slow fade out instead of just being swiped off and disappearing like it used to.

I searched through the settings but can't find a way to disable this behaviour.

I have selected 'Dark/Auto' in my customization settings. I assumed this setting was meant strictly for the Firefox app UI theme, not to automatically force dark mode onto web pages. However, the issue now is that websites are being forcibly rendered in dark mode. I actually appreciate forced dark mode because it renders images and colored text cleanly without messing them up. The real problem is that I can't seem to find any option to turn it off. When I try enabling dark mode using a website's own native toggle, it displays inverted/negative colors, whereas light mode works properly. So my question and issue come down to this: how do I disable the feature that automatically forces dark mode on the websites I browse? (I haven't been able to find this setting anywhere.)

Description: In the mobile version of Firefox, the top browser toolbar containing the address bar does not hide when entering text into a text field. As a result, a significant amount of screen space is taken up, especially when the on-screen keyboard is open.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a page in Firefox on a mobile device. 2. Tap any text field. 3. Open the on-screen keyboard. 4. Start entering text. 5. Observe the top browser toolbar containing the address bar.

Actual result: The browser toolbar with the address bar remains visible while entering text and does not hide.

Expected result: When text input begins and the on-screen keyboard appears, the top browser toolbar should hide to provide more space for the content and text field.

Environment:

- Browser: Firefox for Android - Version: 153.0.4 - Device: Mobile IQOO Z10 - Screen orientation: Portrait

Attachment: A screenshot demonstrating the issue is attached to the report.

Additional information: The issue occurs specifically while entering text: even though the on-screen keyboard is open, the browser's top toolbar remains visible.

Hello!

I would like to report a UI display issue in Firefox for Android, version 153.0.4.

In the tab overview, the bottom bar displays the tracker-blocking information in Russian as “заблокировано 6 трекеров” (“6 trackers blocked”). However, the text does not fit in the available space and partially goes behind the three-dot menu button on the right, so the text is cut off.

I have attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Please check the layout and positioning of the bottom bar elements to ensure that the tracker-blocking text is fully visible and does not overlap with the three-dot button.

Thank you!

Firefox will often display itself in light mode when dark mode is active. Rarely the opposite though.

It happens randomly as far as I can tell, but maybe there's a pattern to it somehow, perhaps regarding doze mode?

Would love to know if I'm not the only one, and maybe if there's a way to fix it, or there's a bug report for it already that we can follow for updates.

As a dedicated user, I strongly request that you redesign the Firefox UI/UX to be exactly like Google Chrome. I urge your design team to take a close look at the Google Chrome Android application, as its interface is the gold standard for user experience. Currently, many users in our community feel that Firefox’s interface lacks the modern, intuitive, and perfectly polished feel that Chrome offers. We face several usability issues compared to the smooth experience Chrome provides. By adopting a layout, tab system, and overall aesthetic similar to Chrome, you would make the browser feel much more modern and efficient. This is a request echoed by a large number of users who want to stick with Firefox but find themselves missing the seamless interface of Chrome. We really hope you will consider this transformation to make Firefox feel as perfect and user-friendly as possible. Thank you for your hard work and for taking our feedback into account."

I prefer the light mode fire fox browser, as it contrasts with my system's dark mode so I can easily distinguish what I'm looking at. However, Firefox Android's light mode is appearing as black for me. Dark mode works normally, and it's a dark grey. The frustrating thing is yesterday it seemed fine, with light mode being white.

I am using Firefox for Android to run YouTube as a Progressive Web App (PWA). As shown in the attached screenshot 1000011880.jpg, there is a persistent red banner at the bottom of the screen displaying "YouTube" and "m.youtube.com". This banner takes up valuable screen real estate, distracts from the content, and ruins the "app-like" experience that PWAs are designed to provide. Request: Is there a setting to disable or auto-hide this bottom security/identity bar? If not, please consider this a formal request/bug report to allow users to hide this UI element once the site identity has been verified, similar to how other mobile browsers handle PWA manifests. I have also attached 1000011881.jpg to show the context of this support request.

Ever since I updated my Firefox for Android app to the latest version there have been these odd grey bars at the top and bottom of the app. It's as if the browser is assuming my phone is shorter than it actually is and is leaving these huge margins (I've attached an image to show what I mean). Firefox is the only app that has had this issue and it persists on every single page. It's even worse if I rotate to landscape as it makes about a third of the screen this grey void. In case it helps solve this issue my phone is a 2024 moto g power 5G.
