Sometimes when I close and reopen Firefox, or when it's been sitting as a background app and gets refreshed, my currently open tab will no longer load; it hangs on a blank page showing a progress bar but never progressing. All the other tabs work fine, and copying the url of the failing tab to open it in a new tab works fine as well. I saw this problem more often when I had homepage enabled, but it still sometimes happens now (and I think it sometimes still goes into homepage by itself anyways, maybe that's the culprit?). This is a problem for me because I frequently use the page history for going back and forth on my most used tab, and this forces me to close it and then shuffle in a new tab

The issue is appeared after first time page loading and first opening of a modal. When I click on the dropdown selector (implemented through a div), the selector does not open. After clicking many times on then the dropdown - list opens. The next time after openning modal and click dropdown list - the dropdown list opens. This error is only on Android mobile in Firefox.

The latest version of an extension I use (specifically Leechblock NG) is not (yet) compatible with android, and after I accidentally deleted it it doesn't show up under "Find more add-ons". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/ still exists, but the "Add to firefox" button is greyed out. When I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/versions/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/versions/ it shows old versions and lets me download them, but there is no way to add it to Firefox for Android.

i'll try and describe the issue the best i can, sometimes when you have multiple tabs i've noticed the last tab open or which is the lastest tab will sometimes die.

Let's say you open YouTube in a tab and you leave it to go to Google in another tab when you go back to the YouTube tab it will show YouTube in the url but the page will be blank. If you go back to the Google tab it shows Google you can move around the google site but you cant use it. You can try and reload the page but nothing happens you can re enter Youtube in the address bar or any site but nothing happens the tab is essentially unusable.

For instance in the screen shot i posted the comicbook .com tab "died" and when i switch to the Entertainment earth tab it says Comicbook .com i can't enter in a new URL you just get a infinte loading bar that never loads. if i hit reload you again get a infinte loading bar or sometimes it just goes blank.

This has been happening for awhile and has happened on multiple devices this isn't a single instance on one device.

going to the battery usage shows that firefox is using a lot of cpu no background refresh, high number of wifi data.

developers of Firefox could add few options for users

1. if there are multiple tabs make all inactive and only the active tab consume data

2. use compression engine so that less data is sent over the wire 3. dont auto play audio or video 4. use new os level power management https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-all

So, I have 3 devices I have sync turned on, two laptops, and android phone. Laptops are where I do most of my actual work work, but the phone is where I get ideas and orders and things like that from, so where I do a lot of that stuff from. Now, I know how to open all on the laptops, but, I can only do this one at a time on the phone. is there a way to open all tabs on the phone?

why is the screen flashing on all websites? I have the latest version of Android on S22 and the latest version of the browser? is there any solution? using this browser has become extremely difficult!

On Firefox 120.0.1 when I clic a whatsapp link, for example https://wa.me/########## where # is the number, it opens the webpage and has the message Whatsapp is not installed. Opening the same link with Desktop Site enabled, works fine. The behavior is the same using api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=##########

Open links on app setting is enabled to always and other app links are working ok.

I'm using Whatsapp Business app on Android 13 Xiaomi Miui 14 Phone

On Chrome for Android and Edge for Android it works ok

I'm moving away from Brave for one reason:

- If you do not have brave sync on at least 2 devices and your device crashes, your bookmarks are lost.

Looking for a webbroswer with sync capability comparable to that of Google-Chrome, I remembered that Firefox exists.

And I have one question about it: How does its sync work? Let us say I am connected to my firefox sync account solely on my computer. And then my computer crashes and is unrepairable. Can I just log into my firefox account on another machine and get all my bookmarks back? (like in the case of Google-Chrome)????

Thanks!

Please help me to stop this tab hibernation, I'm literally been miserable because of it, can't do any important things.

How to turn on strictly keep all tabs stays as I left it ?

Hope you help

Dear Mozilla support,

For a while I have the problem that when I want to watch a video fullscreen on a website e.g. youtube, inline video etc. Firefox stops and completely closes. This is only the first time when I play the video. When I re-open the browser I can continue watching the video fullscreen without any problem. I don't receive any error messages.

Attached the specs of my phone and Firefox browser.

Kind regards, Rick

Howdy,

I'm trying to lean away from Chrome on my Nexus 7 and use Firefox instead. I'm using Nightly now, which is a nice improvement, but I'm wondering if y'all have done much configuration with your setup.

One specific thing I'm wondering about is how to add DuckDuckGo as a search option.

And are there other addons available besides the ones on the official site?

Cheers!
