Форум спільноти Firefox для Android

I used to have the https-only mode on, but I have since turned it because I'm unable to hit an http only site. However turning off this setting does not work. After disabling, I have tried disabling all extensions and forced an app restart, but I'm still being forced to https for a site I'm trying to use http for. I am not being forced in a private tab, so this makes me think that disabling https-only doesn't work anymore...

New version 144.0 just arrived and a bad surprise for me. I'm often using the shortcuts in the start page, but these are limited now to the first 8 icons and can not be scrolled. To see the others I need to click on Show All. This seems to me as a very bad update Up through Firefox Android 143 Shortcuts on the new tab page could be quickly side-scrolled, but that appears to be removed in 144, which I find significantly more clumsy. Please restore the prior behavior, at least and I hope it will be corrected Thank you. and copy and paste is broken on android mobile (Sorry I had to blur sole of my pint shortcuts)

The desktop browser allows me to edit the policies.json file to prevent browser extensions from being disabled or removed. Is the same thing possible on mobile? I need a way to ensure certain extensions cannot be disabled or removed from my personal device. Thank you.

Hi! Is there anyone can guide me how can i turn tabbed view display on android tablet? I mean just like edge with tabbed view on android or tabbed view on windows. I can't find that settings, please help me to figure it out. TIA

I am in Toronto Canada!!! For decades!!! (Have traveled occasionally to Paris Italy New York Buffalo.) But, for years Moronic Firefox has "INSISTED" that I'm in Australia and won't be changed!!! Despite endless (and often only marginally relevent)setup options, this very fundamental piece of "search" information appears 'immune' to human/user change. If the option to address this is, in fact, available, it has been superbly buried! Despite my long-term preference for Firefox for a number of reasons, I give up! And will -sadly- delete Firefox unless a sane USER-FRIENDLY solution is immediately available. Best wishes, JLR

Where can we download version 143 to install on older devices (Android 5 to 7) from now on?

Hi, looking to ask if anyone has experience with restoring Firefox open tabs after closing them accidentally on Android.

Environment: Android 14 Firefox account sync enabled

Things tried: 1. Firefox Sync (The open tab information was promptly cleared away by the sync) 2. Open tab information from a separate desktop Firefox browser with Sync enabled prior (same issue as #1) 3. ADB file access (no permissions) 4. ADB downgrade install to pull old files (failed due to Android 14) 5. Accessing "files:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/..." (cannot download files and looking at the timestamps, the SQLite files have probably been overwritten) 6. Firefox debugging (Nothing useful) 7. Searching for a way to get Firefox Sync historical data (doesn't seem available) 8. Mailing customer support (No response)

Things I didn't do prior to this incident (answering the common responses found online): 1. Bookmark my tabs 2. Firefox Collections

Hi, I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android device often crashes or freezes whenever I try to launch or access certain modded APK-based games. I’ve already tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the issue still happens.

Is there any known fix or setting that could help Firefox handle these links or game launches more smoothly?

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to delete the recent history links that come up after going to a site and they won't delete. Swipe was better to see site links I don't delete and now it's a show all that doesn't let you delete.

I have been using Firefox on both Windows and Android phones. I recently lost an S-23 to a virus. When I was setting up Firefox on the new phone I got a message that Firefox had detected the Vezeen virus on the old phone and the new phone. I immediately cleared the history and cache but the message still remained so I uninstalled Firefox.

 Vezeen is identified as a phishing virus and the effect on the old phone was that it switched from site to site so fast it was almost impossible to put commands into the phone. I traded the old phone in so it is impossible to know if it has been thoroughly scrubbed.
  Thus far I have seen no effect on the new phone or Windows device.
  Suggestions?  Open a new account or what?  I have tried swearing with no success. I am going to leave Firefox off Android devices until I have more confidence.

Firefox still eating too much RAM when to many tabs are open, optimisation would always be welcome naturally.

But maybe also looking into something like a system, that puts certain tabs that haven't been used for a long time into something like a sleep mode?
