Firefox bu Android Community Forum

How do I set private browsing as default on android device? Prior suggestions only work on laptop. Nothing here suggests setting as default, I've gone through all the options.

When I 1st open Firefox w my android cell, the "Jump Back In" appears & as I'm about to click it, icons above it populate (See attached pic), pushing "Jump Back In" down & making me click on some other icon. I've learned to wait a few seconds before clicking my "Jump Back In" selection, which is what I do 99% of the time. You should always populate the placeholders for those icons, or anything that will shift things down, to avoid this.

Why Mozilla don't have download manager like mozilla PC We need it cuz the application use the phone download manager and it's trash if click in download its stop Exit from it stop and its very slow really snail We need it application is perfect why don't have this future

Pls do it 🙏🥺

When I view my Wordpress website on Firefox/Android, the CSS @media changes are not rendered. The change is simply moving the text from the top of the screen (where it is on the desktop Firefox) to the bottom of the screen (in the phone app). - Delete data when exit is checked in the Firefox phone app. - I also go into the Firefox phone app browser settings and clear the data manually. - I go into Settings > Apps on my phone to the Firefox app and clear the cache there as well. Yet, when I launch Firefox again and view the website, no changes occur. I have done this several times and still the changes do not occur. What is wrong here? Why doesn't Firefox/Android make the changes?

I posted to the play store and was asked to post this here. I hope this is where they wanted me to post. The link provided was the support home page. I have added details, that I had no room to include in google play review.

Something has changed recently with the way firefox manages sites accessed by customized links in emails. previously the links would give me access to articles where i have an account. now the sites log me out (gmail when adding an account, mondaq when accessing an article) and tell me to register/login, even though i am registered and the link had an embedded password, or I was already logged in. this is not happening in ghostery. it happens even when site cookies accepted are all accepted.  It happens in Firefox for windows (11) as well as Firefox for Android. For the Mondaq website I can no longer read any articles that are in the emails that are sent to me.  Within 10 seconds of the article loading the page refreshes and asks me to sign in. This only started happening recently. Previously I could leave articles open in firefox tabs for months, and still access them.  Now I can't even read past the first few lines, and all the ones I had saved are lost.  As for gmail.  I have pinned tabs for my email & calendar.  When i "add account' it's supposed to open the additional account in a new tab, which it does.  But it also resets the pinned tab to the new account. I'm going around in circles trying to have two gmail accounts open at the same time.  In addition when i have a google sheets open in a tab, rather than staying open between sessions (all google sites are in my exceptions for cookie clearing) it requires me to log in again if I've not accessed the sheet again within a few hours.  That's even though I'm still logged into the gmail account that is linked to the google drive account that has the sheet.   I'm now on windows 11.  i don't know if these issues are related to that or to rececent changes/updates (lots) by firefox.

I currently use Firefox android on my Samsung S25 and I'm unable to play any videos on healthygamer.gg . It still works fine on my S21. On one drive links, I am able to see video but unable to hear audio (the video was not muted, i checked). Both of these issues do not exist on the brave browser I am currently using on my S25. I have already allowed autoplay for videos and allowed drm-controlled content.

My keyboard is often glitching out while I'm in the Firefox browser. This will happen when I'm trying to search on websites or in the search bar.

I've tried a few different keyboards and I've had this problem with Gboard(the one I want to use) and the built-in Samsung keyboard. It seems to work fine for the Microsoft's keyboard but I prefer not to use that one. I've recently updated both of theses apps but the issue persists. The screenshot is what I see when this happens; the area where the keyboard should be is solid black.

If I use the search bar that normally contains the URL, it works but I try to avoid this because using that bar seems to get stuck often on a blank screen(or take a while to load? Not sure what's happening there).

Is there a fix or workaround?

The Save to Collection feature needs work on Android. You can't order or edit the bookmarks.

One slight of hand and bookmarks disappear from the collection. No confirmation of delete is offered. The bookmark just disappears.

Until recently, in Firefox Nightly for Android, when visiting a web page in a Private Browsing tab the three-dot menu included an option to "Open in regular tab". In the past few versions, this option has been removed.

This option is especially handy for those of us who have the "Open links in a private tab" option enabled, which essentially makes Private Browsing the default. For example, if it is a page that normally requires a login, you can use "Open in regular tab" to easily open it in a regular session where you are automatically logged in. If your browser history is synced, "Open in regular tab" makes a page easily available on all devices (e. g. via Suggest) without having to bookmark it or actually send it to a different device.

This post on Bugzilla says "we will continue to keep this a Nightly-only feature" and the menu entry will be renamed to "Move to non-private tab". However, the menu entry does not appear on the redesigned menu.

1. Which exact version removed the option? Is there documentation about this in Bugzilla? 2. Is there a way to re-enable it, e. g. in about:config? 3. If not, are there any plans to bring it back?

Thanks.
