Firefox bu Android Community Forum

I'd like to try out the built-in VPN, but can't find it. I've seen many older posts about this, but nothing recent. It's now August of 2026.

I'm using Firefox 154.0.1 on Android 16. I'm in the United States.

I'm logged into my browser with my Firefox account. I know it's working as I can open browser tabs between my mobile device and other devices using my account.

I'm not seeing the built-in VPN feature.

"VPN" does not appear in Settings as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mobile-android-vpn

By comparison, attached is a screenshot of what I have in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Any guidance?

Good afternoon.

Account synchronisation has stopped working. If I open the browser on my mobile device without using a VPN, the browser says I’m not logged in. However, if I open the browser via a VPN, everything loads correctly. Could this be because I live in Russia? I’m using the latest version of Firefox from Google Play on my device.

when browsing and using a link to an external page, after reading information in that page andvtraying to go back, sometimes wont go back at the same pasition where i wad before, instead it goes up at some other position.

Beta version: 154.0b4 (Build #2016175530 (likely idetified by build; Android)) Unknoweth information: 417aa9ed4ebb4396acab5d3cd96ef12050534cda GV: 154.0-20260729090538 AS: 154.0.1

Why for defentions/defendtions (defending) anonymity for nigh a score ½ yet noth many compatibilities for smaller/handheld computers, please? Thank yiz in advance. God[s] bless/speed!!

I am experiencing an issue with fullscreen video playback in Firefox for Android Stable. When I play a video and switch it to fullscreen, Firefox does not automatically change the screen orientation to landscape, even when the video is in landscape format. The same website and video work correctly in Firefox Beta, where entering fullscreen switches the device to landscape as expected. This makes me believe the issue may be specific to the Stable version of Firefox for Android. Firefox Stable: Fullscreen video does not switch to landscape. Firefox Beta: Fullscreen video switches to landscape correctly. I have updated Firefox Stable to the latest available version, but the issue is still present. Please investigate whether there is a bug with fullscreen video orientation handling in the Stable Android release.

My phone is acting strangely and I am running out of storage space have tred to install a antivirus system which is meant to be free but keep getting redirected to a website that is asking me to pay £1.99 a month but if it is meant to be Free why am I being asked to pay and have to give my bank details I am very worried and dont know what to do Can you please help me and advise me what I should or can do to protect my phone. Please advise me what to I should do next If you can resolve this Youself that would be great because I am no good with technology and can't really follow instructions due to the fact that even the simplest of instructions for me is extremly difficult to follow but because I am talking to someone or something that overestimates my ability on a false assumption I am the left in a situation that for me is almost impossible to resolve I am not unintelligent But that is not the problem my ability with technology is always overrated simply because the starting point of my assumed knowledge is based on something that knows the subsect matter inside out but does not seem to grasp or understand this scenario or indeed my situation and its not because it is unintelligent either the point I am trying to make here I simply can't do what the person or A.I. Assumes I can do I know what the problem is because the problem is because I am at the lowest level of computer or technology learning the best analogy I can give is simply this I am like a learner driver with zero knowledge of how to drive and the instructor whose knowledgle of the subject matter is not in doubt. But, what the real problem is because the instructer is trying to teach me thing's that are far to advanced I am doomed and destined to fail I dont lack ability or Intelligence and clearly niether does the Instructor the problem for me simply lies in the level of my ability to grasp concepts in a subject matter I know nothing about is being overrated every time it is both frustrating and upsetting in equal measure but I cant solve the prolem even though I know what it is Its like trying to teach a child how to understand the alphabet, you simply have to pitxh any level of instruction to suite the individual if my level of comprehension is A.B.C. and I am being asked to decipher the Egyptian Hidroglifics without the Rosseta Stone ( or even assuming) (Once again wrongly of course that even if I did have it) it simply would not make a blind bit of difference either way. I sincerely hope you can gully understand the problem. and resolve it. I will answer every question you ask to the best of my ability. But please just dont overrate it please Thank You. its also important for you to know that I am classified as "Severely Disabled" due to a variety of illnesses. Being Classified as "Severely Disabled" does not mean I am Stupid but it also should not be overestimated either. I'm not daft l, but I am also well aware that I wont be winning Mastermind any day soon either. I am Diabetic. I also Have Sleep Apnea, Ulcerative Colitis. Blood Clots on my Lungs and will take Apixiban for the rest of my Life. Arthritis in my spine problems with my feet ( and I have to wear Special Insoles, I have CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) in both hands and cant type either to Fast or too long, I have weight problems and am classed as Morbidly Clinically Obese but I am now on Mounjaro and its it's working, so Yippee for that, and finally I also suffer from mood swings and severe depression with what is classed as Suicidal Ideation. But other than that the rest of my life is absolutely peachy. So to conclude as mr peeps said and so, to bed. Thank you for taling the time to read this Tomb but Joking Aside (For the Record I Do genuinely have and suffer from all the things Ive Mentioned) I hope you can help me with the issue mention I dont have a problem with all the other stuff its called "Life" but I love mine and change and adapt and get on with it because I am in control of that,( or at least most of it most of the time so that helps) as for the technical stuff I am totally lost, but as an ex Musician and Driving Instructor I could still help to improve things for people who are both Learning and actually Teaching people about Technology not because I understand the sibject matter but mainly because I dont insight is a wonderful thing and Hindsight is the realization of the mistakes everyone makes and Hopefully learns from it. Thank You.

On my Android phone, I saw a Firefox add-on I didn't remember adding for mobile, so I removed it right away. When I went to search for it in the add-on store to see what it was, it wasn't there. It was a version of Privacy Possum, but it doesn't look like that is available for mobile. One Privacy Possum (for desktop) looks like it was a legitimate extension that has fallen out of date and one looks like a scam extension, I'd like to know which one I had installed. Is there a way to see what add-ons I had but removed?

Since May 21st, I am now on Firefox installer 15. That's a lot of interruptions in three months. Can you please explain? Not that it's difficult or time consuming now that I readily understand, just happens when I have least time! Also means I have to open Chrome, which seems perverse. Thank you.

Please fix the autofill feature to allow preferred password managers to work in the app! It's infuriating when developers don't bother to follow the guidelines and do as they please or purposely try and doge the guardrails. Please follow the native Credential Manager integration guidelines.

On Firefox on Android, I would like to access Gemini similarly to the way I currently access Perplexity via the search engine drop down menu. How do you set that up?

My Firefox app is updated to the latest version available (154.0.1 Build #2016180583). In multiple places over the past couple of months, I've seen Mozilla advertising Tab Groups for the Android Firefox app, but I still have not gotten this functionality. Right now on the Google Play Store page, there is a section that says "Major update" for "Tab groups. It's like therapy for your tabs." However, there is no new update available for me to select because it's already updated to the most recent version. How do I get the tab groups functionality? I've seen some mentions of this possibly being a phased roll out, but if that's the case, why is it be broadly advertised without any indication that it's not actually available to everyone yet?
