Firefox fún Android Community Forum

Before that, I had encountered this case as well. After reinstalling, the new menu was applied, but today it reverted to the old one again, and reinstalling no longer works.

I recently had my firefox mobile for android updated apparently, but it is so user unfriendly and not very accessible in the way that the new layout with the dark tabs and small pictures makes it very hard to read which tabs are open and is unfriendly on the eyes. Is there any way I can revert back to the previous version? I really loved the layout and the user friendliness of it and now I am just considering downloading another browser because I am so bummed by this update. Thanks in advance.

So either firefox or android (probably firefox) just updated, and it's made a mess of the browser. First of all, the layout of everything has changed - the traffic light menu's at the bottom of th e screen now, completely different, there's a pull bar to see stuff that was previously readily available, the tab icons are longer for some reason but I think they're also skinnier? The hell? It's just generally worse than what it was before. I hate every part of it and want it rolled back on that basis alone, because I actually liked how it worked before, and if I want to change how my phone works I'll do it myself. Stop messing with my stuff, mozilla, I don't come into your house and start moving all your furniture around and putting your cutlery in the wrong drawers, and I'd appreciate it if you returned the courtesy.

But, as annoying - read, infuriating and unnecessary - as that is, that's not the real problem. Oh no. No, that's a personal issue, I'd either learn to live with it or I'd find a modification workaround to get my old UI back. No, the problem is that my previously smooth tab screen - you know, the one where you can see all your tabs open - now lags. Noticeably. How do you mess that up? Seriously, what did you do? It freezes when I'm scrolling up and down! How! How do you do that!

In summary, update bad for UI reasons (please stop moving things for no reason, or at least give us an option to move it back, some of us hate that Really Quite A Lot, to the point where we left chrome over it) but also for previously-nonexistent latency where there absolutely should not be any. I'm on a Fairphone 5, this isn't an ancient brick that barely runs. How do you update something to be actively less functional? Please just roll it back. And if you only take one bit of feedback from me ever, stop touching the UI. It's really annoying. Please. Just don't.

In a recent Firefox update, UI was updated to reflect Material Design. However, some elements aren't displaying as intended. However, the screen with tabs is not displayed on the entire screen (that is, it does not extend into safe zones), although the indents on the screen allow this to be done.

bold text Everything I try keeps getting blocked I can't open any sites from my emails and I'm wondering why I used to be able to open them directly but since the update nothing goes through I want it to stop.every web browser blocks the sites.

I refeshed a page just now, and all the tabs have gone weirdly long, it's a nightmare to interact with different pages, the intuitive structure is gone. What just happened? And how can I put the original settings back?? In the past, security updates did not wreck the ease of use, so I'm guessing this was a cosmetic 'upgrade' and I'm desperately hoping someone knows how to roll it back....

Hello all, I recently returned to Firefox after a long hiatus due to multiple problems. Some things are better, but the most important issue on android persists:

I have it set to always e in private browsing and to always clear everything on exit. I am definitely hitting "quit" from the menu to close the app, not just swiping it away. When I reopen it, I am still logged in to everything and nothing is cleared.

I have tried: Clearing cache and data Turning this setting off, restarting, turning it back on Force stopping the app both before and after exiting Reinstalling

I'm on a oneplus n30.

I have also tried manually clearing everything from the settings, then exiting, and it still leaves me logged in and doesn't clear everything. I have found threads from folks for years dating they've had this issue, but have not found a solution.

I default to a portrait orientation in my phone, when entering full-screen on a YouTube video Firefox automatically rotates the screen to landscape and then back again to portrait when exiting full-screen, that's great, however if I then change tabs and return to the tab where the video was playing (which is no longer in full-screen) Firefox rotates the entire site back to landscape mode. 100% reproduction rate. Temporary fix is entering and exiting full-screen again but the bug happens again if I change tabs subsequent times.

Firefox used to be good but it's just becoming broken garbage. I just tried the Opera browser which lets you listen to youtube with the screen locked and tab minimalised. Something that used to function on Firefox but is now just another broken feature. Not to mention that for over a year now the comments haven't been loading on youtube videos, which I posted on here all the way back then and got no response. Time to put this useless garbage in the trash can...

Yes what is the official URL search link to add yahoo search engine so i can add yahoo search to my search url in the settings on my android phone. Thanks Graham

When I go to another app, and back, tabs have to reload, often loosing what was done in the page. I have set Firefox as "No restrictions" on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra (HyperOS 3, Android 16), but Firefox still seems to unload memory very frequently.

I tried it, it loads through EDGE, but through yours, if I enter it into the search, it loads at 70%, but the page still seems to work, albeit slowly. I didn’t have such problems with EDGE, I’m in Russia

I truly enjoy using Firefox for mobile and I am trying to make it by default browser but I have such a horrible time with the pitch to zoo. I am visually impaired so the pins to zoom is a must-have for me, there are so many sites that I use this and the page jumps and never stays in place especially on YouTube. I feel that I have adjusted all the settings recommended to me inside Firefox in addition to changing configurations like the AKA settings to false or to true which I always I don't want to have to go back to Chrome so is there anything you can recommend or do for me all help is truly appreciated thank yourecommended but nothing has seen to help. Even as I type this up I lost my place and pinch to zoom to find it and the page jumped to the top several times any help to resolve this would be so much appreciated thank you very much. One last thing I do keep everything in desktop mode because it's easier for me to see not sure if that matters.

Whenever I have a website bookmarked on my home screen from Firefox Mobile, it opens a separate process where I have no access to my tabs, address bar or settings. I'd like to regain the full functionality of Firefox regardless of where I open the website from. I don't know if this is immersive mode or some other mode.

Device: POCO M6 PRO 5G Device Model: 23076PC4BI Android version: 15 AQ3A.240912.001 Firefox version: 147.0.3

Issue description: Firefox for Android stops playing audio and video in the background whenever I switch to a new tab or move the app to the background.

This happens on multiple websites such as YouTube,YouTube Music, Spotify Web Player, and other media streaming sites. As soon as Firefox is not in the foreground, playback pauses automatically. this issue persist in every media playing sites.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox on Android 2. Play any video or music (for example on YouTube or Spotify web) 3. Open a new tab or switch to another app 4. Audio/video stops immediately

Expected result: Media should continue playing in the background, similar to other browsers or previous Firefox behavior.

Actual result: Playback stops as soon as Firefox loses focus or is sent to background.

Additional information: - Happens every time - Tried restarting phone and reinstalling Firefox - Battery optimization settings disabled for Firefox - Issue does not occur in other browsers
