Firefox fún Android Community Forum

I want to make sure I'm signed in to get updates! tips¡ Suggestions; etc any new beta testing. Gemini and I have successfully gone through the configuration and settings and Firefox. We have successfully synced password bookmarks etc to Firefox. At the new user to the Firefox beta testing program are there any specific activities that you would like us to perform. I would appreciate Amy advice on different subjects to test. I recently within the Google Gemini beta testing program and I was wondering if there's any more beta testing program that I can sign up for it.

 Thank you for your time

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

Hello, I am trying to reset my FireFox sync on my laptop and it keeps asking my for the 6-letter confirmation code when signing in. I realized my email as inactive and had to reactivate it during this process. However, despite being reactived I still do not receive FireFox account emails and I have all checked my spam, my filters, and even added accounts@firefox.com to my contacts and still receive nothing. I am not sure what to do at this point since I can't even set up a recovery key without the email.

Newest update removed my bookmarks from the home page and put what it wanted on it. I can't add the ones I want. How do I add the ones I want back to the home page on my mobile. Last version no problem. This Newest version is bad (being polite) ;)

I'm a heavy bookmark user. I have numerous bookmark folders and numerous bookmarks within each folder. I love the way the desktop version (Firefox for Windows) allows for easy sort and save for bookmarks. I absolutely hate the way Firefox for Android handles bookmarks. There is no way to sort and no way to choose a default save folder.

Awhile back a change was made to Firefox for Android. Before the change, saving all new bookmarks automatically saved them in the root Bookmarks folder where they were easy to grab and reassign to a particular folder. After the change, bookmarks now get saved in the last folder used.

This causes problems with later finding bookmarks when they were saved in a folder that wasn't expected and is especially troublesome when you have numerous bookmark folders. For example, I had been saving bookmarks in the root Bookmarks folder. Every once in awhile I go through that folder and move bookmarks I want to keep into other folders. Whichever folder I last moved a bookmark to now becomes the default save folder. The next time I save a bookmark it goes to that last used folder. If I don't remember which folder it was, now I have to search. Or I have to remember and be fast enough to hit "Edit" on the small pop up window that shows up after saving a bookmark.

But it gets worse. I recently went through my bookmarks and moved several from the root bookmarks folder into other folders. I later saved a bookmark and had to go find it in one of the sub folders. After finding it, I moved it back to the root Bookmarks folder. Let's call it "Bookmark A". Fast forward several weeks where all subsequent bookmarks were saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I desired. I then went through all my bookmarks and deleted those I no longer needed. This time I didn't move any of them. BUT, the last bookmark I deleted was "Bookmark A". The next time I saved a bookmark, it did not get saved in the root Bookmarks folder as I expected. I had to go find it again in the same sub folder where "Bookmark A" was originally saved. Apparently, when I deleted "Bookmark A", Firefox for Android somehow remembered the next most recently used folder. I hate this so much!

Can we get a setting to define a certain folder as the default folder for future saved bookmarks?

I don't understand the reason for the change in the first place. But, if there are plenty of users who want bookmarks automatically saved in the last used folder, then give everyone a setting to either choose that method or a default saved bookmark location.

I'd also like to see a drag and drop method to sort bookmarks as well as settings to sort by name, date, etc.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox for Android on a Samsung S25.
