I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I just wanted to point out that the browser on Android has too many processes running in the background—I’ve never seen anything like it before, and it doesn’t seem normal to me. I’ll attach some screenshots of the processes on my phone.

Firefox keeps stopping on my Android; in fact, it won't even load. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the storage, but that has not solved the problem. If I uninstall and reinstall Firefox, is there a way I can save my bookmarks? I don't think I am currently signed into (or registered for) Firefox Sync. I am hoping it might be possible to do that from my laptop. The bottom line is I really don't want to lose my bookmarks if at all possible. Thank you for any help/ guidance

Why do you have a leave feedback button in the app but it leads to the question section instead of leaving feedback options. Lastly, why is it so hard to make Firefox display in dark mode across every webpage?

hi, I have this odd issue lately that when I type something in the browser, search engines in particular, then hit the enter key on the on screen keyboard, and then click inside the same inputfield again that the backspace button switches behavior and no longer affects the text field but deletes the last letter from the word in the auto-correct-suggestion panel diirectly above the keyboard. clicking back into the browsers textbox doesn't help either. I have to press backspace several times until auto-correct stops suggesting new words, (turning off auto suggest doesn't fix it) then focus returns to the inputfield in the browser

I can repro it with multiple keyboard apps (microsoft & heliboard), on different search engine websites but it only happens in Firefox not in chrome nor any other Android app.

I also noticed that when I move the text cursor somewhere with a tap in this input field and then hit backspace, then it will show the context menu (copy, paste, insert...) for less than a second and instantly close it again. Pressing backspace a second time doesn't trigger it again until you move the input cursor with a tap again.

I only use uBlock but disabling it didn't help. Phone: Nothing 3

Whenever i send a Tab from any Device to a Linux Desktop, the Linux Desktop is almost guaranteed to freeze. It doesn’t matter if that Linux Desktop is my "Dingus" PC with 2GB RAM and Wayland, or my "Workstation" PC with 16GB RAM and X11. On both Desktops, Firefox runs smoothly until it gets sent a Tab from another Device, then the whole Linux Desktop freezes. The Desktop doesn’t slow if i open the Tab on the Desktop in the “Tabs from other Devices” Sidebar instead.

Only my Linux Desktops freeze when they get sent a Tab from another Device. Android doesn’t slow when my Phone gets sent a Tab from another Device.

Hi I have a couple of http only pages behind a VPN in a private network. When using Firefox for Android and entering the address, either with "http://" or no prefix, Firefox is not able to connect and instantly switches to "https://" mode. "HTTPS Only" mode is not activated, DNS-Over-TLS is also deactivated.

The page can be opened when using the IP address.

In private mode Firefox opens the page as expected.

All other apps on Android do not show this behaviour, i.e. Chrome for example opens the pages fine as expected.

With Firefox on Linux, it works fine.

How can I make sure that Firefox openes the HTTP page and not switch to HTTPS.

About:config is disabled in Firefox on Android so all tweaks changing the settings there do not work.

Tried this with and without plugins, no difference.

When the "Delete browsing data on exit" feature is enabled in Firefox for Android, the app correctly clears selected data types (e.g., Browsing history, Cookies, Cache) upon exit. However, the "Recently closed tabs"list is completely unaffected and remains intact after restarting the app.

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

Since the November 6th update, my input from SwiftKey keyboard specifically on Duckduckgo site (not when searching from Firefox address bar) is being very disrupted. Single click on spacebar is ignored and autocomplet filles in a different spot than the cursor. This doesn't happen an any other website an also does not happen on chrome for android on Duckduckgo. Also this does not happen with gboard in Firefox. Any ideas?

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.

For about a month, Firefox on Android has had a frequent problem where it stops loading pages and shows a blank page if I try to go to any open tab. The app is not frozen because I can click on things, ie, click on the browser bar and type in a URL, but no pages are visible. Force quitting the app fixes the problem. This is not only annoying but has other issues like losing any incognito tabs. The same issue has been reported by other users on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1ox1h2m/firefox_on_android_stops_loading_pages/
