Just started happening the past few days, Firefox on my Android won't work. Keeps saying "Proxy Server Refused Connection" but I'm watching the proxy server (Squid) logs and it's not hitting the logs. Chrome on the same Android device works through the proxy, so do several other apps. They show up in the Squid logs as I would expect.

But Firefox, which was working with the proxy a few days ago, doesn't even appear to be trying.

Firefox 117.1.0 on Android 13.

Yes, if I disable the proxy in my WiFi settings then Firefox works. Turning the proxy back on and Firefox goes back to saying the proxy refused a connection.

Using tcpdump, I can see Firefox is hitting the squid server but squid is not logging the connection. Firefox changed something, everything else works except Firefox.

Firefox on my android phone times out on any webpage whenever I am not connected to a Wi-Fi. All webpages and IP addresses timeout with no response. Same issue occurs on Firefox Beta app and Firefox Nightly. All other applications work as expected with full internet access on mobile data. The same pages/addresses respond as expected on Chrome and the built-in browser.

Simply put, all Firefox apps have no internet connectivity on mobile data.

Solutions I've attempted with no success or change: Re-install Firefox. Logging out of Firefox Sync. Clear Firefox data and cache. Disabling tracking protection. Disabling HTTPS-only mode. No proxy settings are enabled. Confirmed Firefox application has mobile data network privileges. Disabling, re-enabling mobile data network privs. Installing Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly; same issue.

Another possibly related issue: Firefox does not follow routes from a Cisco AnyConnect VPN on my phone. Opening pages/IP addresses routed through the VPN are rejected or timeout as if the VPN is not active at all. The same pages/addresses respond as expected on Chrome and the built-in browser. This occurs over Wi-Fi as well, of course nothing works on mobile data as described above.

Device: Oneplus 8T (KB2003) OS: OxygenOS 13.1 (Android 13) Firefox version: 117.0.1

Hi,

I recently switched phones to the Google pixel 7 pro. When I Google a business, a little "call" button shows up, just like it always has for the phone number. On my old phone it worked fine with Firefox, and on this phone it works on the Google Chrome browser, but I can't press the call button in Firefox. Worse, when I long press and copy it, it copies the telephone link and I can't paste into the phone app. I've checked and third party apps can be opened by Firefox if I click a Twitter link or whatever, everything else works fine, but not being able to call is a huge bummer

I raised this issue in my review on the Google App Store and was asked to submit it as a question here. On my phone (Oppo running on ColorOS 13.1), Firefox will stop working a number of times a month. For about 24 hours, aside from Google result pages, nothing will load, and I'll be stuck looking at an empty loading screen. The last time I raised this issue I was told to delete and reinstall the app, which worked in the moment but did nothing to stop the problem occurring again. Aside from waiting for the app to fix itself, nothing I've found works.

I'm using Firefox to access academic papers and online books. Because most of this content requires a subscription, I usually visit these web pages through my University library site. However, its not letting me open the destination file. e.g. I can open https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21670811.2018.1533788?journalCode=rdij20 but not the full article. To open the full article I need to be logged in through my institution's library.

I have changed my proxy settings to 'no proxy' - can you please suggest what else I can do?

It normally works fine on other computers.

Thanks, Claire

I recently changed my password on a gmail account, and tried to change my password in settings on my iphone. When in the settings for email, I was not able to directly enter the new password in the "re-enter password" field, but instead I got the message that the "settings" wants to use google.com to sign in. Apparently the only option is to "continue" and when I do so, it says Google can't sign me in because my browser (firefox) does not support JavaScript or has it turned off. How do I turn on JavaScript or otherwise circumvent this problem? I have not found another way to get my password updated on my iphone. I tried changing my default browser to Safari to see if I could get it to work but that did not help. i have used firefox for years on my iphone with no gmail problems.

Hi, Suddenly Firefox Android can no longer open the magnet links. I can download and open the torrent with the torrent agent and I can also use the magnet links on Chrome Android, but on Firefox Android it doesn't work. I don't get any error message, it just doesn't work. I also tried Firefox Nightly, but that didn't work either. Anyone has an idea how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Until today, Fire Fox on my iPad has reliably interacted with the iOS password repository to auto fill passwords for web sites. Now it presents the prompt to use a saved password but it never goes and retrieves it. It leaves the login and password fields blank. I’m using Firefox 116.2 (33536) and iPadOS 16.6.

It has also stopped working on my iPhone.

Hello,

Recently I started to experience an issue that whenever I would specifically download a file using the Firefox web broswer for Android, my mobile would temporarily lose it's cell reception. After a few seconds it reconnects. The issue does not appear when downloading (for example) images from the Wikipedia mobile application, or using the Google Chrome browser. The issue is still present when using wi-fi or a VPN connection. This makes me very concerned about my privacy and the safety of my data on my device. The android version used is Android 11 and the app was updated as of September 9th

Thank you for assistance!
