Why oh why doesn't the mighty Mozilla allow me to organise my bookmarks alphabeticaly. Much lesser browsers do, Mozilla doesn't allow me to organise bookmarks at all. I use bookmarks extesively, it wouldn't take much coding to allow me to sort them. Putting them in as saved order makes no sense. Come on guys 'n' gals get with the program!

I can't share any files, but rather than saving to my downloads folder, I've found the app is downloading to the folder I had intended to move the files to. The issue is that the naming structure of the files is based on the week/day. So if it's Monday of the first week of the month, it would be Mon-1. When downloading another Mon-1 to the downloads folder, I'd get Mon-1(1), which is exactly what I want. When I use my file browser to move them, it also renames the new file to Mon-1(1), perfect. If I download Mon-1 and this issue occurs, Mon-1 will overwrite the existing Mon-1 in my reports folder. Now I have reports from all different months in my January section with January just about wiped from my phone. I have changed everything but Firefox and the phone and the issue still occurs, so I can only assume it's either an android issue or a Firefox issue.

I’m trying to install the add-on called carmelizer but it’s not working I have Firefox already on my iPad but it just keeps telling me to install Firefox. Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks

Hi. FF Android seems not to show a context menu automatically when text gets marked/selected. By holding the finger longer then appears the popup context menu. It should be standard to get always this option when text gets marked/selected because its a logically following action.

And when moving by car or train or feet, it is impossible to hold a finger calm.

Thx Am I right here to ask for that?

While using Firefox for Android, I'd like to see additional detail of my browsing history. Mainly a timestamp and length of time spent at each page. Currently, I can view these choices; Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days and Older. I can only assume these are listed chronologically in the order I visited each page. I'd like to know what time I arrived at the site and how long I was there, if at all possible.

Many medical conditions limit manual dexterity. I’ve had essential tremor since childhood; it’s harmless, but it does complicate the business of using a smart phone. Some applications (e.g., Proton Mail) have settings for the user to choose what happens upon swiping left or right; I set them to “do nothing” or to the most harmless of the actions listed. I don’t see such a setting in the Android version of Firefox.

It would be useful, because I usually keep many tabs open, which means that when I look at the grid of tabs, I need to scroll up and down to see them all. However, moving my finger straight up or down is difficult: any trembling while I move up or down seems to be interpreted as swiping sideways, and then a tab closes. I can find and re-open tabs using the “Recently closed tabs” menu, but I’d rather tabs not close so easily because I don’t always notice when I lose them.

There’s a somewhat similar, archived comment at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419070, but the setting referred to in one of the proposed solutions is about swiping on the address bar (I turned that off long ago), not in the grid of tabs. And I don’t see a way to disable left- and right-swiping for all applications at once in the Settings app of Android 12, with which I’ll be stuck for a while.

When viewing Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks, only the parent folders are displayed (screenshot 1) and one of them has to be tapped to display the subfolders within that parent folder. However, when editing a bookmark, all the parent folders are expanded, displaying every subfolder as well (screenshot 2). It's an absolute nightmare to look at and a pain navigate. It would be more helpful if editing worked the same as viewing.

I am unable to find out how to resize any drop down boxes in Firefox. The "Bookmarks" drop down is way too wide - it would help to shrink it so the next selection box would appear with space to show its contents.

Just a suggestion- on the browser collections its currently really easy to mistakenly swipe right while scrolling through a collection list and inadvertantly delete items . Suggest adding a delete confirm stop before deleting.
