Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox dành cho Android

When I open a new tab in Firefox for Android I would prefer to have the "focus" immediately in the address bar. Then the keyboard would open automatically. Now, I always have to click in the address bar first. I think this has newly changed. Could it be undone?

In the recent updates,the ability of having the keyboard automatically popping up has been removed.

This has been a frustration for me because it was so intuitive and smooth.

Please add it back.

Two months (or something) ago this behavior was changed. Whenever you create a new tab, the search bar is not focused anymore.

Is it possible to change that back again to the previous behavior? New tab should automatically focus the search bar

When I open a new tab it's usually to perform a new search, so I want the keyboard to automatically be displayed. It seems that with os update 157 that I now have to touch the search bar for the keyboard to be displayed.

A simple option to enable or disable the keyboard in the settings menu like there is on touchscreen PC would be beneficial.

As witnessed by the various posts I've found, I know there are others who don't want the keyboard displayed. You can't have half of Firefox users constantly upset with you over a simple additional menu setting. Unless of course, that's too difficult for your developers to implement.

The attachment shows what appears when I opened a new tab. Note there is no keyboard.

Before the recent update for Firefox mobile the address bar automatically opened up when pressing new tab.

Now every time I want to go to a site I have to tap twice, once for new tab, then again for the address bar :-/

When I open a new tab in the app version of Firefox I would like to be able to directly access my bookmarked sites. Is there a way to make this happen?

Android keyboard remains open, when firefox app is opened initially and website or search is triggered. But after I hide the keyboard manually, then its fine. But its always open if not hidden manually. This behavior was seen few months ago and still persists.

I appreciate that my browser is blocking trackers. I even have two additional extensions to boost the power of this. But I don't want the announcement every time I load up my browser. How do I turn this off? I'm using Firefox 153.0.3 (Build #2016176519), on a Google Pixel 7 running Android 16, kernel 6.1.145-android14-11-gfa1d6308d1fe-ab14691759 #1 Fri Jan 9 16:33:46 UTC 2026.

Since the last update of Firefox Android there is a notice with a shield that keeps a running total of the trackers firefox has blocked. Great to know Firefox is on the job, but I don't need to see a running total. Anyone know how to remove this?

when turning "show voice search" to off the voice search button is still present and usable on the new tab screen.

i also have the AI control for voice search off and yet it still functions

is there a way to remove it from this screen as well?

(firefox nightly 153.0a1 (Build #2016163711))

Is there any way that I can enable Thought-provoking stories on the Android version of Firefox? I would love to have this feature when I am travelling and I am with my tablet.

Hello, I just recently installed the Firefox Mobile stable version, after using the beta version for a long time. one thing that annoys me a bit is that when opening a new tab (plus sign) or going into the search bar directly, the focus is on the search bar and the shortcut area is greyed out. When I want to select a shortcut, I have to press twice, once in the general area, then on the shortcut itself. In the beta, the area was not greyed out and the shortcuts were only one click away, instead of two.

Is this the expected behavior in the stable version? And is there a way to change it?

Best regards

Hi - Is it possible to backup and/or transfer pinned shortcuts (that show up when you open a new tab) from one android device to another? Is it possible to sync changes to pins? Last, is it possible to increase the amount of space for pinned sites? Thanks in advance for the help!

When I open a new tab, it says "I'm a temporary text to indicate you're on the new Tab Fragment"

Seems like a bug and I didn't know the best place to report it
