Форум спільноти Firefox для Android

My Samsung laptop uses Microsoft Outlook and it just froze my gptucha@comcast emails on the laptop (but not Samsung S23 phone). This after a failed effort to start a 1password account that refused for transfer saved passwords from Firefox, and also won't let Firefox use saved PWs to open sites. This remains a problem even after theoretically deleting the 1password account from phone (a success) and laptop (partial success; icons still appear and require manual PW entries by me. I'm confused about the FF and Duck-Duck interface and maybe I should delete Duck-Duck if FF provides the same amenities and privacy? -- Greg gregoryptucha@gmail.com

Current browser version: Firefox (Android)134.0 (Build #2016064983), hg-b8005f63d9eb+ GV: 134.0-20241230151726 AS: 134.0 ___

Hello everyone,

Previously, it was possible to configure Firefox so it would stay in the background while opening tabs from links activated in other apps. Thus, said apps would stay in the foreground until Firefox is called to the front.

The desired result was achieved by editing the setting `browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground` in "about:config", which is no longer available.

If such a configuration is yet possible, how is it achieved?

Thank you.

Can a long standing issue — previously closed as "RESOLVED INCOMPLETE" — be recalled as a New Issue?

This is 3 time I have lost almost half of my apps while using Firefox. I just lost Firefox and alot of apps and don't understand how this can keep happening? I don't know which one's I lost or how to get them back? Very important to get those back. I pay my bills with some of them. Please help. I had to ad Firefox back to even do this

I have just updated to Firefox v134 stable release on Android and now when I log into github.com, the webpage is glitching and not being rendered properly. The avatars on github look torn and they are blinking when I scroll up and down. This is occurring with current Firefox stable, beta, and nightly releases on Android.

My device is a Samsung T813 tablet running Android Nougat (Android 7.1).

I should also mention that Firefox v134 on Android is also showing UI glitches when viewing the settings in certain extensions, like FoxyProxy. Although, I have also done a clean install of Firefox v134 with no extensions installed and the webpages like github and still showing the rendering problems mentioned above.

Yesterday my Firefox and alot of my apps have disappeared. It is very important to get them back. How could this happen? Please take a moment to let me know how to get them back. Thank you

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

I have made a review about the bug under the name of lars leenen.

The bug happens in private browsing, To recreate the bug open any website in desktop mode in private browsing then open any other app (it should then say that firefox is active in the backround) then re open firefox (the page should refresh) the menu says its in desktop mode but it loaded the andriod website and pressing the desktop mode button does not change it.

So for Facebook, I switch to the desktop site via the triple dot menu and it changes to the desktop site. But at one point, something does acrefresh of the page - I didn't select. It reverts to the mobile page. But when I click on the triple dot menu, it says I am using the desktop site. However, the page still is on the mobile site. If I go back it is still showing the desktop site. I turn it off but it slides back to the desktop menu.

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?

Having issues with photos from my gallery loading sideways when uploading to Facebook dot com site. They are taken with my camera on a Samsung s22. I'm fully up to date and have had several system updates and still have this issue. Taking a screenshot of the photo then loading that works fine.

When I push the "On/Off" + "Volume down" button, I should get a "Capture more" option to take a screenshot of the whole length on the webpage (on other phones it may be called differently i.e. "Scrolling Screenshot"/"Rolling Screenshot" etc etc.

I've contacted Google support and they're unable to help. Maybe here I'll get some help?

I've tried deleting data/cache/cookies. Right now all is set to default in Firefox. The first picture shows how it looks like (on Firefox), when I push the Screenshot key combo. The second screenshot shows how it looks like on chrome and how it should look like on Firefox too.

Version 133 Android pie. Unauthorized background data usage even when set to denied. System is set to deny background data usage, no exception yet firefox using data. Hate to put firefox on firewall's deny list. Is the future of firefox releases.

Hi there,

I have been using Firefox browser for Android for many years now, and have generally been very happy. I don't want to use another browser if I don't have to.

The last couple of days though, the app has started to use large amounts of cellular data, yesterday over 60 GB in a couple of hours. Also drained the battery fast. Was in a meeting, so didn't notice it at first, I then turned off mobile data settings, and forced closed the app.

There were no tabs with video playing in the tabs, so no idea what tab(s) caused the issue. The data usage settings showed almost all usage was in the foreground.

I thought closing the app, and restarting the phone would solve the problem, but when I opened the app again, the same thing started to happen. The speed of using data was high, and I had to close it again. No indication of any tab or website causing the issue, only had a few open to test.

Now I don't know if I could trust the app again, at least not without finding the issue. I have unlimited data, but the speed is reduced after a certain number of GB used, so have put a limit and notification on data usage now anyway.

Have any of you experienced the same problem? And if so, how did you solve it?
