Firefox fún Android Community Forum

I go to a website and it tells me that it has emailed me a code. I have to go to another app to bring up my email to get the code. When I go back to Firefox using the recent apps feature, on my phone, Firefox reloads to the previous page and I have to start all over again because you've gotten rid of the page I was on, to put the code in. It's an endless cycle. Since I'm not actually closing Firefox why can't it open onto the page I was just on?

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

I allow all passwords to auto fill on websites but there are 2 I specifically want to store it in ff but want to only do it manually. Is it possible to segregate these 2?

I'm signed in on both the mobile and desktop app with the same account, sync is on for both of these, but the sync is not actually happening. None of my passwords or history is accessible in the mobile app. It also seems to not save any history at all because I keep having to type in whole web addresses instead of the app filling in the rest itself, even though I've visited these websites many times. There's no error in the settings or anything, it's just not working properly.

Les liens dans les collections sont trop trop sensibles à l'effacement sur mon mobile Samsung A25 5G. Je perd facilement les liens en navigant d'un lien à l'autre.

I've turned all Search SETTINGS to OFF. The Firefox Suggestion show up as soon as ANY characters are entered into the browser's search box.

How to export all opened tabs including non-active in android firefox 149.0.2 ? this capability was available in previous versions but seems now hiddenly deleted. any workaround did not help: couple of extebsion couldn't save all as-considered opened tabs properly - only those actually loaded to ram. https://github.com/nbeaver/save-tabs-firefox-for-android

I have no idea what's causing this, but recently video playback on every website keeps breaking. I have to go into my phone's settings and delete the cache from there, or uninstall and reinstall Firefox completely to fix it. But it only fixes it temporarily. Everything else seems to work fine, but video players just... don't work at all after a while.

When I follow a link from Gmail to an article I want to read, Firefox opens a new browser window in the upper left corner of the screen. I have chosen "full screen" which then goes to full screen and immediately back to the tiny window. I have changed the default to Chrome, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and changed multiple settings with no success. Now I'm looking for ideas. Thanks much for any light you can shed on this issue. Joe

So I moved from my old Galaxy S21 Ultra into a new Xiaomi 17 ultra.

Installed Firefox and logged in with the qr code thing on my main computer.

Firefox on the phone says it's synced but the list of passwords is empty. Not a single password in the list. Lots of passwords on the main computer.

This worked just fine on the old S21 Ultra.

Any ideas?

This is a completely fresh install on a new phone so not to be ungrateful, the typical good advice about clearing cache and reinstalling is just not relevant here.

I accidently deleted Firefox. When I reinstalled collections had disappeared. I can add a webpage to collections but no collections on the homepage. I have debug mode and set home screen default to control. Also disabled search bar. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Any ideas?
