Android کے لئے Firefox Community Forum

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ tablet, UTD OS, using Firefox 150.0.1. The 'use desktop setting' is on, but most pages don't render in the desktop and are so skewed, they're impossible to view. I've turned the setting off and it makes zero difference. I understand Firefox was changed to always render in desktop mode on tablets sometime last year, but it's not working and I'm at a loss. I don't want to switch to a different browser, but I've tried everything I can think of at this point. If anyone has a suggestion or fix short of switching, I'm all ears. Thank you.

So I moved from my old Galaxy S21 Ultra into a new Xiaomi 17 ultra.

Installed Firefox and logged in with the qr code thing on my main computer.

Firefox on the phone says it's synced but the list of passwords is empty. Not a single password in the list. Lots of passwords on the main computer.

This worked just fine on the old S21 Ultra.

Any ideas?

This is a completely fresh install on a new phone so not to be ungrateful, the typical good advice about clearing cache and reinstalling is just not relevant here.

Why do you have a leave feedback button in the app but it leads to the question section instead of leaving feedback options. Lastly, why is it so hard to make Firefox display in dark mode across every webpage?

Title: Please Add Native Background Play for YouTube, Facebook & All Video Platforms

Hi Firefox Android team,

One feature request that would make Firefox Android truly unbeatable:

Built-in Background Play — for all platforms.

Currently, to play YouTube or Facebook videos in the background, users have to manually switch to Desktop Mode, which is a frustrating and confusing workaround. Most users don't even know this trick exists.

Please make background play a native, one-tap feature that works automatically on any video platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — without requiring Desktop Mode or any workaround.

Brave is already competing for YouTube users. Firefox can win them all by being the only mobile browser that plays any video in the background, natively and effortlessly.

This single feature would bring thousands of users away from premium subscriptions. YouTube Premium's biggest selling point is background play. Firefox can offer that for free, for every platform, to every user.

That is a massive opportunity. Please take it.

Thank you for your time and for building a browser that still fights for the open web.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

I'd like to share my inactive tabs to keep them when switching my phone. It seems to be impossible to even manually select inactive tabs in order to share them. Is there some workaround?

Things tried: 1) Open tab window 2) Open the "Inactive tab" dropdown 3) Select "Select tabs" However, I still cannot select inactive tabs.

I'm also happy for another way to backup inactive tabs, so I can restore them to another browser on another phone at need.

My mothers new phone won't load external links and mine does?

I have way more strict security settings and same extensions. She has 2 and I have 13 extensions but they overlap and are not the issue. When someone sends her a link her Firefox does not convert the link like mine does, she gets a link in format https://share.google/ + string of letters, when she opens it, it's a blank page. When I open the same link it converts it from that to a regular link (https://). I have installed Firefox to at least 3 other people and none have this issue. I don't have this issue on desktop either.

If it makes a difference: Out all the people that have this browser on their phone she's the only one that has a new phone with Android 16 (mine is Android 14). They are both up to date on both software and Firefox updates.

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

I am using Firefox on mobile and I want to download images in the highest possible quality from different websites.

Sometimes the images look compressed or low resolution after saving.

Is there any built-in option or setting in Firefox mobile to always download original image quality? Or any recommended method to ensure full-resolution downloads?

I am trying to download YouTube thumbnails in their original resolution (HD quality) using my mobile browser, but I’m facing some issues. Sometimes the image doesn’t load properly, or it downloads in lower quality.

I have tried different methods, including manually modifying the image URL and using an online YouTube thumbnail downloader, but the results are not consistent.

For reference, I tried using this tool: https://thumbload.net/

to download thumbnails, but I still experience issues on mobile.

Is this a browser-related limitation or a setting issue? How can I properly download full-quality YouTube thumbnails on mobile without errors?

Hi, Sometimes I would be browsing on Firefox, then I would need info from another app for instance, then when I get back to Firefox, the page always appears white (see attached). Consequently, I would not be able to see the notifications area and the info below the shortcut icons (see attached screenshot). I would not have this occur in the night mode. Thanks
