I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Please allow us to choose per website whether it should always/never be opened in its respective app or if it should always be asked about.

Personally, I hate when websites like YouTube, Wikipedia or Reddit open in app without my permission, but I have a few payment cervices and a local government ID system that ALWAYS require a redirect through an app, so, at least to me, granular control of this feature - to always allow some, but not all websites - would be absolutely indispensable.

Edge for Android has had this feature for a long time, and, as far as I know, it is the only existing Android browser to do so. But I am not going to use Edge :( I am attaching two screenshots of how it's been implemented in Edge though.

idk if this is the right place to file bug reports

in the reddit login sreen  if you click on the email box it's supposed to pop up a saved passowrd bar—for you to choose fr multiple logins, or atleats fill automatically, but that doesnt happen for reddit, infact—it doeant recognize the email field at all, when clikcing the passwors field it pops uo noramlly and auto fills—but JUST the passowrd, the email field stays empty.

this is some info: 150.0a1 (Build #2016147111), 887fb4b92f0ce8fab484377f1715d972ead217cc GV: 150.0a1-20260303095635 AS: 150.20260228050320 OS: Android 14. Galaxy A15 4G

Ive been trying to swipe though google images but if I click an image the swipe gesture dont work at all. (I wasn't able to attach a screen recording so I had to take some screenshots) i cant swipe to the next image without closing the one i was in.

Settings provides feature "Delete browsing data on quit". With this feature ON and option "History" selected, the latest version clears the History list, but does NOT delete the list of Recently Closed Tabs on the history page. This seems to be a major bug.

The android UI was updated in recent Firefox updates and it is now impossible to enable sync from an Android phone due to this change.

According to Firefox during setup the proper steps are:

1. Open firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu and tap "Sign In" 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code.

The new android UI does not have one universal menu. Instead it includes a list that lets me:

• Bookmark a Page
• Find in Page
• Turn on Desktop Mode
• manage Extensions
• "More"

It also features:

• My Name for managing and backup/sync
• Settings

I'll enumerate the issues with this.

If I select More. This is different than the more settings options under "Settings". It allows me to:

• Translate the Page
• Add to Shortcuts
• Add to Home Screeen
• Save to Collection
• Open in App
• Save to PDF
• Print

All of these are irrelevant.

If I select my Account, the most obvious of these ambiguous choices. I can:

• Manage Account
• Sync Now
• Change the Device Name
• Sign Out
• Choose what to sync.

There is NO option here to scan a QR code. Manage Account leaves the app and opens a mozilla account webpage. None of these options work.

If I select "Settings" I receive a large list of useless options - none of which allow me to scan a QR code.

Since scanning the QR code is the ONLY way to enable syncing via the mobile app am I understanding correctly that Firefox has removed this feature and is mistakenly still advertising a deprecated feature inside their MacOS app which prevents me from actually ever signing in to my account.

If this is intended to still be a feature. How do I do it? The instructions are unclear and your UI does not help in any way to figure out how to navigate to the correct place where I might possibly be able to move forward in any manageable way.

How can I revert the previous view (list format) of the firefox menus ? The new appearance of the menus is extremely akward (to me), compared to the previous LIST FORMAT, as displays buttons that take up a lot of space on screen.

In this new appearance of the menus, I need to search for what was previously seen at first glance.

I signed in to my account on a new PC and it asked something about if I have mobile phone and I said yes so it gave me a pop-up wit the following text: "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device 2. Go to the menu and tap Sign in 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code" And I get stuck on step 2 I can't find a Sign In button, attached an image of what clicking the menu (...) button shows. So how exactly do I tell firefox that I want to sync between this machine and my mobile? I do have it working nicely with my laptop but I don't remember how exactly did I sync that, I kind of assumed just signing into the account would be enough enough but based on this pop-up it isn't.

I can't edit Bookmarks on Android anymore to move bookmarks to subfolders of Bookmarks that were previously created. This is a recent issue. Android 16, Pixel 10 Pro. I have previously created a number of subfolders of the Bookmarks folder. I used to be able to move bookmarks easily with the edit option to a subfolder. Now the carrot next to the Bookmarks folder does not expand. Restarted phone, un/reinstalled Firefox. I can edit my bookmarks in Firefox in Windows 11, and now this is my only way to move bookmarks so that they are in a subfolder on my phone. I have to move them on my laptop. I mainly browse on my phone, so this is very inconvenient, and not a good development from my point of view. Thanks for your help!

Ever since the new update I can't save to any of the bookmark folders on my phone anymore. When I click on bookmark now all I get is the options to save in the bookmark menu, the toolbar, other bookmarks or create a new folder. But all the other bookmark folders that I have I can no longer save to them it no longer gives me the options.

Even created a new folder to see if that would work, but I still can't access it when I bring up the bookmark menu so I was wondering if there's any workaround or a fix to the solution?

The text selection toolbar (often just called the text selection menu or contextual selection toolbar) is used throughout my Android/Samsung phone. It appears whenever you long-press text, a textbox, or URL bar, and shows actions like Paste, Copy, Select all, and sometimes Extract text depending on your keyboard/OEM.

In the lastest Android Firefox app update, the "Clipboard" option is no longer present in the app on the contextual selection toolbar.

This is a major inconvenience. I'm a longtime Firefox user and this missing feature is a huge inefficiency problem. This means I cannot easily use text copied or cut from elsewhere on my phone and easily access it without individually and tediously copying and pasting individual text content.

Please see the attached image and gifs showing contextual selection toolbars with and without the "clipboard" option.

For at least 25 years Mozzilla/Firefox have saved my passwords. Tow days ago the column of passwords I am unable to open. What is problem and how to repair? I am 82years and under medical care and need my passwords of which many will never used anymore.

I noticed the UI changed for Firefox for Android and part of that change is there's a slight delay/transition when opening menus or navigating between settings.

May I ask for a toggle that disables the transition so menus open immediately, like the Extensions and More dropdowns do? It would feel intuitive for it to be in the Customize options.

Right now I'm on FFfA 148.0 (Build #2016144279), not sure which version I was on before. It's not the biggest issue but does add a bit of friction to the user experience, I've got muscle memory for being able to refresh faster than I can now.

The new UI's been great otherwise!
