Can I customize which links are opened externally on FF for android?

At present, it seems that I can only choose to have all links or no links opened by an external app.

Simplest might be to enable the user to configure a list of exceptions, which of the two possibilities is chosen:

A user who chooses to have all links open in apps should be able to specify a list of links which still open in firefox; and one who chooses to have none of them open in apps should be able to specify a set of links which nonetheless open in FF.

Please note that this question/request is identical to one called "Costumize which links opened externally on FF for android?" (Obviously that user meant "customize" and not "costumize.") Unfortunately that question is archived, and I could not just click "me too").

Every time I try to access one of my courses online it tells me that I need to allow third-party pop up and I go onto the Settings andI alter the settings and is still not allowing the video to pop up

Hi,

I can’t find the setting to turn off Autoplay of videos while browsing. I have pop ups turned off, but videos seem to detach and Autoplay.

Any articles or help I can find say to go into a settings and privacy section, which I can’t see.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to add a new Google Gmail account I just recently created to my iOS 17 iPhone 13Pro Gmail app and it's telling me I need to use a browser that has JavaScript enabled. I'm using Firefox as my default browser. How do I enable JavaScript so that Google will let me add my new email account?

Thanks for your help! Seems many have this problem and no answered in the support data base.

Until a few weeks ago I could open links in external apps , e.g. Wikipedia. But since some update this doesn't work anymore; the web page still opens in Firefox. The setting is set to "always".

Can anyone help?

Hi, This is so frustrating, but this is the second time it happens for me (two different websites), so I'm kind of sure this is a bug. I go to "website settings" and block autoplay for audio and video on data, yet it autoplays them. Each time, I am forced to choose the option 'block autoplay' (regardless of whether I'm using data or WiFi), which successfully blocks them. At first, I thought it was just an accident, but turns out it's more likely a confirmed bug.

The Add To Home Screen option was present for quite some time but is now missing UNLESS you share from push-hold on a link. Individual pages no longer order the option to Add to Home Screen

After using the latest version of firefox android, my favorite feature after searching on the google is "Open in App" or "Open links in App" is absent and not working properly like it used to be. Now I must copy-paste the title of the video from youtube site, manually from this browsers to the Youtube App (Native app). This feature should be on the 3-dots on the right corner, bellow "Find in page" and "Desktop site". Screenshots that I'm upload are when I open Youtube video and Telegram group after I'm searching from the browsers but CAN'T find "open in App", I want to opened it from my native app not from browser.

This is Firefox-only behavior on iOS (16.x, btw), neither Chrome nor Safari suffer from this.

On my iPhone, links are set to open in apps if the app is installed. So if I open an Amazon-related link while browsing in Firefox, it will open that link in Amazon.

However, with Firefox, it opens a new tab "about:blank" when this redirect happens, which then seems to load the app.

With Chrome and Safari, clicking a link which has an app installed, simply redirects me to the app from the tab/page I'm browsing instead of opening a new one.

What is with this strange behavior with Firefox and is there a way to fix it?

Hi, how do I turn off automatic email fill in the direction field of the the browser? Everytime I write the letter P it automatically fills my email (there are no options if I want to fill with email. It just writes it automatically.

This is the same issue as reported here, but the thread is archived: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1380035

Firefox android v117.0.1 On a Samsung A52 running Android 13

When any webpage is loaded in a tab with 'desktop site' enabled and then that tab is unloaded from memory (usually by viewing another app for a couple minutes then returning to Firefox); upon returning to that tab, the page reloads as the mobile version, however the 'desktop site' slider is still enabled and will not disable when touched.

From here the only way to actually load the desktop site again it to close Firefox by removing it from recent apps, then when re-opened it will load the offending tab in mobile view with 'desktop site' off but responding to input again.

Yesterday the option to make Firefox my main browser turned on on my Android phone. It won't let me turn it on. I have Google on my phone, but I never updated it, I updated myself yesterday, I can't turn it off. I also have a MI browser that is disabled. When Fitefox is not my main browser, I cannot add web shortcuts to the start screen, and I use it all the time and miss it a lot. What should I do to restore the option to make Firefox my main browser? I used to have Google but now I don't know what's going on? Help me please!!!

Good afternoon, the complaint I have is when I make Firefox my default browser it doesn't stay and I've to continually change it back so when I clicking on a link instead of going to Firefox like I want it too it instead goes to my Samsung internet browser. Can I get some assistance so that I can understand why it doesn't stay?? Have a good day, and thanks for reading my email. -ChristinaJ.

I want to add a shortcut to my Android home screen which deep links to a page within a site I use. However, the "Add to home screen" menu item I'm accustomed to using for this is missing.

It turns out that if the website in question is configured to be used as a "progressive web app", then "Add to home screen" is replaced by an "Install" menu item. For my situation, this is unhelpful, because the resulting home screen icon only links to the website's home page, not to the carefully selected URL that I want to deep link to.

SOLUTION

This can be worked around by turning on airplane mode first, then visiting the desired URL. The page, obviously, will not be found, but this causes the "Add to home screen" item to be reinstated. Use it, then turn off airplane mode again. Voilà!

tabs that i have open in incognito mode will close automatically. is there ANY way to change this, it's very very irritating. it seems to be an automatic "feature" with no setting to turn it off. i'd like to keep tabs open in incognito mode. thanks.
