I have firefox for android installed and have set up "delete browsing data on quit". I made sure all boxes are ticked and when I press quit it does delete my browsing data, however the recently closed tabs section still keeps all its info retained, in effect my browsing history does not get deleted until I do it manually and then quit firefox. I deleted the app cache and when that did not work, I did a fresh reinstall of the firefox app and the issue still persists.

Please stop fixing things that aren't broken! I just installed the new version of Firefox for Android and I hate having tabs strewn across the the top of the screen. Many of them are personal and private and I want them hidden from view. The previous version of fox for Android work just fine for me, this one doesn't. Is it possible to remove them from you?

EDIT: Nevermind. Update fixed the issue!

As of today, when I drag left or right on the screen in the browser, it tries to switch between next/previous tabs. This happens even if there's a web app I'm using that allows for click-and-drag functionality. I can't find a setting to turn this feature off.

Hi! I´m a big shortcut user and a year-long Firefox fan and user. Now it´s the first time I´m using an Android tablet (Boox Tab X C) and the typical shortcuts for new tab (Ctrl + T), close tab (Ctrl + W), etc. do not work. I researched this a little and it seems to be by design. Why do you forsake us, Firefox god??

In any case, thanks for the good work folks. Love the Mozilla name and what it stands for for a long time now. Peace

Until recently, in Firefox Nightly for Android, when visiting a web page in a Private Browsing tab the three-dot menu included an option to "Open in regular tab". In the past few versions, this option has been removed.

This option is especially handy for those of us who have the "Open links in a private tab" option enabled, which essentially makes Private Browsing the default. For example, if it is a page that normally requires a login, you can use "Open in regular tab" to easily open it in a regular session where you are automatically logged in. If your browser history is synced, "Open in regular tab" makes a page easily available on all devices (e. g. via Suggest) without having to bookmark it or actually send it to a different device.

This post on Bugzilla says "we will continue to keep this a Nightly-only feature" and the menu entry will be renamed to "Move to non-private tab". However, the menu entry does not appear on the redesigned menu.

1. Which exact version removed the option? Is there documentation about this in Bugzilla? 2. Is there a way to re-enable it, e. g. in about:config? 3. If not, are there any plans to bring it back?

Thanks.

My Firefox app is updated to the latest version available (154.0.1 Build #2016180583). In multiple places over the past couple of months, I've seen Mozilla advertising Tab Groups for the Android Firefox app, but I still have not gotten this functionality. Right now on the Google Play Store page, there is a section that says "Major update" for "Tab groups. It's like therapy for your tabs." However, there is no new update available for me to select because it's already updated to the most recent version. How do I get the tab groups functionality? I've seen some mentions of this possibly being a phased roll out, but if that's the case, why is it be broadly advertised without any indication that it's not actually available to everyone yet?

I'm Firefox nightly starting several days ago when you hit the widget to view all open tabs. Previously the active tab had an indicator in this all tabs listing. Now the active tab. For example, the tab where you're watching a YouTube video has no visual indication that that's actually the active tab. this is on Android. When you swipe down to view a widget that displays the tab that's playing the video when you click on it, it now does not take you to the tab that was running. Essentially, the active tab viewing is fundamentally broken on Firefox nightly whereas it worked prior to about a week ago

I use Firefox instead of apps for everything. And do often have 5-10 tabs open. Phone: poco x7 pro 8GB Android: 16 This problem is not present in my older phone.(Android 13) It clears the tabs, whenever Firefox is sent to the background. That means all the tabs have to be reloaded. That means battery consumption, data consumption, delay, losing my place in videos ( I watch YouTube on Firefox too) . I am willing to do anything short of rooting the phone.

First of all, I hope this is the correct place for this feedback. The release announcement page seems to link here, but I'm not totally sure. If not, could you direct me to the correct location?

After I overcame the initial "hey, I didn't want that changed, put it back" phase, I have to say I really like the new design. Especially the overhang menu (the the vertical dots) is much better.

However, there are a few things, that could be improved, I believe.

  1. Make the tabs list respect the URL bar top/bottom setting. That would be great for people like me, who regularly close all taps and usually have only 2-3.
  1. The same goes for the tabs within the tabs list (private / synced buttons).
  1. The buttons at the bottom of the tabs list (new tab and the vertical dots) feel visually unbalanced.

Thank you, and have a great evening.

PS: please also note that I'm quite confused on what version I'm on now. This page, the browser and the Playstore all say 147, but I have the changes mentioned in the 148 release notes. Is this one of the remote improvements mentioned by the release notes?

I got a big announcement pop-up on Firefox desktop that support for mobile tab groups was added in 153 - https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/firefox/android/153.0/releasenotes/. I'm currently on 153.0.2 (Build #2016175759), and have no tab group feature.

Looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-firefox-android, none of these features are visible for me. Nothing in my tab area mentions groups, the section at the top (private/normal/other devices) doesn't have a "groups" section, and I can't drag tabs onto other tabs to create groups.

My only installed add-on is uBlock Origin. Is there any reason this feature isn't available for me?
