Firefox bu Android Community Forum

Since the last update the following error occurs: If I delete individual entries in the browser history, they don't stay deleted, hey are back after a while.

Is this a bug?

tabs list jumps to the start when intermittently switching to private mode, which is quite annoying when having lots of tabs

(this is a reply to the feedback call to action on firefox android)

Ive no idea why, I woke up the next morning and seemed as if an update occured. If I make a search it shows text and location as if i am from the Nederland, it's difficult only having a phone but no matter what changes I attempt and try to save...with no avail..continues remaining the same, after days trying to fix i was finally able to find this option. Respectfully, ask for help. Thought this was a private discussion of the issue and not an open thread?

I’m having a really annoying issue with Mozilla Firefox on Android, but it only happens on YouTube’s mobile site (m.youtube.com).

The back and forward buttons don’t work properly there. For example, if I’m on the YouTube homepage and open a video, then from under that video I tap another suggested video — when I press the back button, instead of taking me back to the previous video, it jumps straight to the YouTube homepage.

The same thing happens if I search for something, open a video from the results, and then try to go back. It doesn’t return me to the search results — it just takes me to the homepage again.

The forward button has the same issue too — it skips everything and goes to the next home page in the history instead of the actual next page I visited.

This only noticed it on YouTube’s mobile site. I did not test other websites, but i didn't notice the back/forward navigation having any issue. There might be a issues or maybe they might work fine, i just didn't notice it so far.

So yeah, it looks like Firefox’s navigation history doesn’t handle YouTube’s pages correctly on mobile.

Hello, due to problems with the Firefox Beta (for Android), I switched to the stable version. However, with this version I also encounterd some problems, mainly regarding the homepage: In the beta version collections are displayed (at the bottom) of the homepage. In my stable version, I cannot see the collections at all. I can still add sites to collections, and when doing so, all my collections are shown but I don't know how to access them. I could not find anything about it in the settings. Is this the regular behavior? If not, how can I change it?

Best regards

On android, it is possible to change the search engine of the search bar on the home screen. There you can select a Search Engine App, like Google, Qwant or Startpage.

However, Firefox is currently not available as a selectable option there. Adding it there would make it possible for those searches to be handled by firefox.

Here is a like from the Google Documention explaining it more. https://support.google.com/android/answer/14661350?visit_id=638898573078368897-2813460311&p=change_search_engine&rd=1

Hi, I've recently changed my phone to a Motorola g85. Since then, the homepage only shows me shortcuts and stories. No history, no last page visited, no anonymous button. I can't fix it in Settings either. Help, please. Thanks so much. Best regards, Amelia

Many links shared by correspondents over or into other apps have recently stopped opening. Typically a blank white page. Often share.google links, clicked from whatsapp, open firefox then give this blank white page, presumably this is Google's attempt at tracking without cookies & FF is blocking them. For example: clicking this from whatsapp https://share.google/8XIPjfzcE6gtZzfsi opens just fine if pasted into chrome but that's not my default browser.

As shown in image, Though the current tab is highlighted, a previous tab has shadow around it.

My setting: 143.0.2 (Build #2016116031), ae41fe4e0410af90d829e92b192065938fcd51e2 GV: 143.0.2-20250922120053 AS: 143.0 OS: Android 15

How to reproduce: Press + button on tab bar, then select any opened tab or enter a new site. The tab that is focused after this will always have shadow around. Then move focus to other tab without clicking + button. The highlight moves but not the shadow. edit: the tab that is focused on firefox launch also have the lingering shadow, untill you press + and select another tab.

Hello. Im using Firefox 143.0.3, the latest version available. But before the update shortcuts appeared on my homepage. Now i cannot disable because the option (settings > homepage > shortcuts) disappeared. What can i do? It was normal (with the options) until a couple of hours ago. Even the option to pin shortcus disappeared. Im very confused. Please help. Thanks.
