I recently gained access to Firefox's built-in VPN feature on my Windows PC. The VPN button is now visible in my desktop Firefox browser, and I'm able to access and use the feature without any problems.

However, I cannot find the same VPN feature anywhere in Firefox on my Android phone.

Both devices are signed in to the same Firefox account, and Sync is enabled on both. I've also checked the browser settings on my Android device, but the VPN option does not appear to be available.

Is this expected behaviour? Is the built-in VPN currently exclusive to Firefox desktop, or is it supposed to be available on Android as well? If Android is supported, is there anything I need to do to enable it?

I'd appreciate some clarification on platform availability and whether this is a rollout limitation or an issue with my account or device.

When using the normal search bar of Firefox, some letters will bug and repeat on the end of the word. Of course I can simply delete them, but it's still very annoying to do so every time. This has been happening for two months now. (Image provided is supposed to be simply "wholesome")

Unfortunately the latest Android/Google update was recently forced onto my phone. I did not realize it triggered a change to Google Play Store to "auto" update apps. [a setting I HAD turned off!] Next time I enabled the Play Store, Firefox was automatically updated.

The moment I realized what had happened, I opened the "sync" setting in the FF browser and clicked to make sure it had just performed a sync. At that time, it showed multiple devices in the "sync family". Then I removed Firefox app from the phone. When I reinstalled from an older operating version of Firefox and went to sync, I had to log into the Mozilla account again.

After trying all the passwords I could think of possibly using, I created a new one. Stupid I know. And sure enough, once I was signed in, there are no other devices shown. And Sync recovered nothing.

I went to another family member phone, who I thought had one of my log in sessions, and they did not. So now I do not have anything sync-ed in, and do not know where I can turn to another device to "find" the old sync either.

Korean IME composition breaks in web page text fields

When typing Korean using a hardware keyboard (Bluetooth) and Gboard in text fields on web pages in Firefox for Android, IME composition behaves incorrectly.

Korean characters sometimes lose their composition state, individual jamo (consonants and vowels) become separated, characters are inserted at incorrect cursor positions, or newly typed characters overwrite existing text.

Here is an example: Firefox 모방ㅣㄹ로 남ㅏㄴ으ㅣ 길을 갓ㅔ요 Firefox 모방ㅣㄹ은 상ㅛㅇ자엑ㅔ 맞춰서 여ㄹ려 있는 모든 탭과 과거 거ㅁㅇ색ㅓ, 즐겿ㅏㅈ는 상ㅣ트를 그 어느 때보다 수ㅣㅂ게 볼 수 있스ㅂ닏ㅏ.

The problem appears to be specific to Firefox's handling of web page input fields. Korean input via Gboard works normally in other Android applications and Firefox's address bar, which means this is clearly a Firefox issue, not a problem with the Bluetooth keyboard, Gboard, or any other hardware/software. Thank you.
