Firefox fún Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox, I'm not 100 % sure but I think my question/problem has been solved?Today I found out my chrome browser on Android 7 is out of date after years of problem free usage. I checked my browser with browser.org checker and the checker sent me to Google play store to download you android 7 browser. I have a Firefox account on Windows 10. I entered my details but couldn't login all I saw was blank black screen. I created a new account for Android phone but still I couldn't login and verify. I saw the same black blank screen as before. Now I have tried to login to Firefox from my out of date chrome browser and was able to confirm my new Firefox account for Android phone. I guess before I was trying to login to Firefox from Firefox without success. Now I have logged in to Firefox from chrome browser I could confirm my email address with code number received. Why did I have trouble logging in and confirming new account email address?. Thank you

Every time I use a card to pay for something on android at least havent tried on pc it asks to [expletive] update the expiration date even though it's always the same and it's getting [expletive] annoying how do I turn this off

I have been unable to use autofill for credit/debit cards for months now. It simply does nothing after I choose the card and successfully authenticate biometrics.

I have tried removing and reading cards. I have tried switching from beta to regular (I'm on a note 9). At a total loss and this is super frustrating. I am 100% sure autofill, sync, and remember cards are on.

When I download files from websites, the download list will never display what is going on, although the status bar will display. If I want to stop downloading, I have to turn off the wifi or kill the program process. When tabs appear at the bottom, they block web content. I know it hides when I swipe down, but the web page prohibits content for me to scroll down and I'm going to be bothered.

Hello, when I search up something and click on one of the search results, most of the times the tab will reload and i will have to click on the result again.

It even got worse cuz after switching to another phone, i searched up "note 10" to open samsungs website and it reloaded the tab like 5 times before I gave up cuz it never opened.

Hello,

When I download images or videos using Firefox on my Android phone, the files disappear after some time. They are also removed from my Downloads history in Firefox.

Files downloaded from other apps (such as Discord,chrome) remain, so this issue seems to occur only with Firefox. Could you please help me understand why this is happening and how to prevent it?

Thank you.

syncing bookmarks between Android Mobile and desktop through shared Mozilla account, but the bookmarks from mobile aren't appearing on the desktop. I can see that both devices are logged in, but cannot see bookmarks being shared.

When I try to access reddit while being connected with my mobile data, I get an error saying this website needs a secure connection. However when I access reddit with a Wi-Fi connection, I don't have any sort of error. How could I fox that ?

Touch response is really bad and it needs to zoom in to change video quality and so on. This touch issue is there for ages and it's the only reason why I use Brave. I hope I'll be able to get back to it at some point in future and that's why I'm writing this review as well. Thanks.

Hello,

I recently switched to Linux and have been having trouble getting my bookmarks from my android device to sync to my desktop (Linux Mint). I have bookmarks enabled on the sync menu on both platforms, but I can't get them to sync over to my desktop from mobile at all; my only current option would be to painstakingly open them one-by-one from my desktop sync with the open tabs viewer (as I can't open all open tabs at once on Linux Firefox for some reason).

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to tell me that this feature doesn't work on Linux.

Thanks, - Qwin

Hi, I'm having trouble turning on two-factor authentication (2FA) on my account. I've already tried the steps in the article, but I'm still getting an error with the device time. Can you help me?"

A wildcard custom domain configured in Firebase App Hosting works in most browsers and devices, but fails to resolve on Android + Firefox. The apex domain and explicitly added subdomains work everywhere, but any subdomain covered by the wildcard returns Address Not Found on Android Firefox.

Project / Domain • Firebase project: go-flock-beta-92ec0 • Custom domain (apex): invitoz.com • Wildcard mapping: *.invitoz.com • Example failing host: abc.invitoz.com • Example working: invitoz.com, explicitly mapped subdomains

Environment • Failing: Android + Firefox (latest stable), tested on multiple devices & networks • Working: Android Chrome, iOS Safari, iOS Chrome, Desktop Chrome, Desktop Firefox • Hosting type: Firebase App Hosting (Next.js) • DNS: Configured per Firebase’s wildcard instructions

Expected behavior

Wildcard subdomains (*.invitoz.com) should resolve and serve the deployed app on all browsers and devices.

Actual behavior • On Android + Firefox: “Address Not Found” (NXDOMAIN). • On other browsers/devices: Works as expected. • Adding the subdomain individually (not using wildcard) makes it work on Android Firefox too.

DNS configuration • Verified wildcard DNS per Firebase instructions (CNAME *.invitoz.com → ghs.googlehosted.com). • DNS has propagated globally (>24h). • dig abc.invitoz.com returns correct CNAME/A records from desktop & Chrome Android. • On Android Firefox, resolution fails (browser shows NXDOMAIN).

Diagnostics • Works on Android Chrome, so network is fine. • Problem appears isolated to Android Firefox → possible DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) resolver issue with ghs.googlehosted.com for wildcard domains in Firebase App Hosting. • Apex & explicit subdomains are fine — issue is only with wildcard DNS in this browser/OS combo.

Impact

Dynamic event subdomains (e.g., party.invitoz.com) fail to load for Android Firefox users, which is a critical portion of our audience.

Request 1. Confirm if Firebase App Hosting wildcard domains are known to have compatibility issues with Android Firefox. 2. Investigate DNS/TLS handling for wildcard → ghs.googlehosted.com in App Hosting. 3. Suggest any specific DNS records (A/AAAA) to improve compatibility.

The option "Add to Home screen" the webpage option is not working anymore. Instead there is "Add App to Home screen" which cannot save the webpage link on the home screen (Android 15). Firefox on Android recently changed this behavior. When a site supports a Progressive Web App (PWA), the "Add to Home screen" option will often show as "Install app" instead. Firefox thinks you want to install an "app" rather than just a webpage shortcut. Can the developers please fix this?

Hello,

Recently I switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint, and I am having difficulty opening all synced tabs at once on my desktop firefox. Specifically, I have tabs open on my Android device in firefox that I can see are synced to my desktop, but I can't open them all at the same time; I would have to click on each to open them. There is no right-click dialog available and I cannot see any other ways to open in batches.

Is this a limitation of firefox on Linux or on Android? (Apologies if this is in the wrong board)

Thank you,
