I am writing to seek assistance regarding a challenge I have encountered while attempting to install a custom add-on from a file.

I have followed the steps to enable the debug menu on Firefox Nightly, and I have also successfully downloaded the custom add-on in XPI format to my mobile device. However, upon navigating to the Add-ons settings, I am unable to locate the option to install the add-on from a file.

I have reviewed the official documentation and community forums for guidance, but I have not found a solution specific to my situation.

Could you kindly provide detailed instructions on how to install a custom add-on from a file on Firefox Nightly for Android? If there have been any recent changes or updates in this regard, I would greatly appreciate any information or resources you could share. Thank you for your time and assistance. I value the work Mozilla does to enhance the Firefox experience and am eager to resolve this matter.

Best regards, Saad

In about.config i set javascript.enabled false for most browsing, unless i really need to do otherwise (e.g. ecommerce). If i close the app (menu quit), and restart it, javacript.enabled is reset true. This behaviour is not replicated for other settings i may make, e.g. dom.storage.enabled, or permissions.default.image. Being Android i have no root so no possibility of creating a user.js to override Firefox ignoring my settings. This seems to be a bug. Version is Android Nightly version 121.0a1, 2023-11-05.

I would like to keep using imap (because directory synchronization and such) instead of pop, yet I also want to configure thunderbird to delete (expunge) emails from the server after a certain number of days while keeping them intact offline. The reason for this is that I want to keep an offline only archive because it is more secure.

I currently only see options to delete everywhere after N days or delete locally after N days, but I want to keep local and delete from the server. It looks like the server software my email provider uses doesn't have a setting for it either, so doing this in thunderbird is my best chance of getting ut done.

When you first released the pull to refresh feature on Android, it worked good. However, for the last several releases, there is a noticeable delay when trying to scroll up and down. Say you are in the middle of a news article and you want to move up or down. It will just hang for a bit, rather than smoothly go up and down like normal. If I turn pull to refresh off, scrolling is normal. What I think might be happening is the pull to refresh feature is no longer recognizing to only work when at the top of a page. The only time you would want to pull down to refresh is at the top of the article. Otherwise, it shouldn't even be active. Don't really know what the real problem is though. It is a real bummer. I really like that feature. Having to go back to the old way of refreshing a page is super annoying. I hope you can figure it out. This issue has been going on for several releases/months. I didn't know how to report it. Perhaps the last three releases have had the issue.

Using Android FF, when selecting Google.com,it only loads blank white page. Entire screen is completely blank. No error messages of any kind.

I've been deleting my saved passwords in Firefox, after migrating to a standalone password manager. It's been anything but easy (deletions are not synced, and bulk deletion process is inconvenient to say the least).

What worries me is that my "deleted" passwords kept coming back as soon as I enabled Sync, until I realised I had duplicate devices in my Mozilla account control panel. I still have, though, some other connected services (Add-ons, Mozilla Support, Mozilla Monitor...).

Is what I've done enough to ensure they're gone? Where exactly are synced passwords stored, and how can I be sure that they aren't lying around in a Mozilla server, awaiting a future data breach? I don't have the time and energy to change 200+ passwords.

Every time a youtube video is placed on landscape mode on the firefox app of my android phone it becomes a single blurred image with the audio playing as normal.

Youtube seems to work fine on other browsers and I have tried all basic fixes, like deleting cache/data/reinstalling app etc. Appreciate any help.

Edit. Okay I managed to fix the issue so I'm adding the solution here in case anyone runs into this problem. Apparantly youtube playback decided to enable "ambient mode", a feature I didn't even know existed and seems to not play well with a phones resolution.

Just click the settings gear while the video is playing in landscape (mine is on the top right) and disable the "Ambient mode" feature.

Hope this helps.

For months now, Firefox Mobile has constantly been getting "app has stopped responding" crashes and even hard crashes (multiple times per day) for Pixel users. There's already a bug report about it but the FF team's response is that they aren't going to do anything. They claim it's an issue with the kernel but no other apps / browsers on the Pixel have this problem.

This is beyond pathetic. Maybe this not-my-problem mentality is why Firefox has reduced to less than 1% penetration.

My Android Firefox app suddenly changed the language for the menus. I now can't read the settings options. Can you describe how to change the menu back to English?

I am trying to check in for a flight I have this afternoon on Delta Airlines. When I attempt to sign into the app, I receive a message from Mozilla that says "Open in app? Your activity may no longer be private." What does that mean? Is it safe to click "open"? Or should I cancel? And if I cancel, how can I check in?
