Firefox Nightly 110.0a1 (Build #2015925675), Sony Xperia 1 mk3, 61.2.A.0.382 release-keys Android 13

Been having issues with the refresh gesture, namely it activating when just trying to scroll up the page.

I'm not certain of the proper behaviour, but I've had pull down to refresh initiate with all kinds of downward swipes; fast, slow, short and long; and in various locations on the screen; centre, sides (close enough to also start back gesture), lower third; and even seen it wanting to refresh when simply tapping to stop inertia scroll, as well as when pressing and holding to keep screen alive for seconds before pulling down to return to the top.

Noticing it initiate, then releasing upward to cancel, then repeating the previous downward swipe intermittently triggers it again; sometimes it's gone, sometimes it triggers another once or twice, and one time it just would not stop and I couldn't scroll up the page no matter where on the screen I began to swipe down.

I'm presuming it's only meant to activate in upper third or even quarter, but regardless, this is a relatively recent (several days to a week, idk) issue that I'm dealing with, although it has become rife tonight.

Some websites seem better than others, and I was considering it was a fault of some designs, but alas I couldn't find any spots where I could consistently get it to happen; not even dragging from the top of the screen is working right now, so I have no idea what's going on.

https://ok2fly.com.au/ was a nightmare; tap anywhere to open a pop-up, scroll to bottom, then try to scroll up. I've got a great little screen record to demonstrate how inconsistent it is, if anyone wants.

Lemme know if there's anything else I can do to help diagnose this.

Hi there, Firefox on Android is unable to show a progress on files that is currently being downloaded. It does, show notification, and I can pause and cancel it from there, but the details are unknown, the progress bar doesn't tell how much bytes has been downloaded and when i press pause and resume, the state is horribly unknown, the progress becomes 0%, etc. What I want is that Downloads menu in three-dots menu must show this too, not only the files that has been downloaded.

Hi, is there a way to change the user agent on iOS? The FxiOS part makes the browser way more fingerprint-able than standard safari, even with all the anti-fingerprint settings to the max.

Howdy folks, hope all is well your way...

When I download a file, a notification pops up when the download is complete. I find this quite annoying, especially when downloading file in a bit of rapid succession.

Is there some way to turn this off on FF mobile?

I tried... about:config > browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel on the nightly build, but after having created the option, it doesn't seem to work.

I would be forever indebted to any suggestions y'all can provide.

Thanks.

In the image attached, I’m trying to scroll through the search suggestions given by “Firefox Suggest”. However, when I try to swipe up in the red circled area, instead of scrolling down, I only click on the page shown in the red circled area. This behavior is new and was not always there. I could previously scroll down while swiping up in the red-circled area. Also, in the red-circled area, it looks like there is a longer list of "Firefox Suggest" options that the keyboard is covering, but I can't get access to this longer list because I can't swipe up. What should I do to fix this?

Hey Folks,

I got a problem using Mozilla Firefox with iPadOS on my Apple iPad Pro 12,9 M1 with Apple Magic Keyboard.

The problem is about the “right click“ on a link on a page, it’s intermittent, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. If I open a page and want to open a link in a new tab, I tap the link with two fingers or with one finger and control. When it doesn’t work, at first I got to long tap the link on the touchscreen to show the right click menu to open the link in a new tab. After this procedure I can use the two fingers tap or control tap to open the right click menu.

I hope you can give me some clues to resolve the problem.

Thank you,

I’m having difficulty with Firefox on an iPad mini fifth generation running iOS 16.4.1 and today’s version of Firefox. I’ve used Firefox for years with Duck Duck Go as search engine with no problem. Today without warning Firefox stopped accepting URLs typed into the search bar from the Homepage (or any page). It simply ignores the typing and flickers momentarily, keeping the existing URL and page. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, changing the default search engine from Duck Duck Go to Firefox, and changing from a custom homepage to the Firefox homepage. No luck. Please advise.

Hey there,

As the title suggests, I'm having an issue with the navigation bar. It remains at the bottom of the screen even when I have the least need for it, which makes the content of the screen glitchy. It may not sound like much, but it's very annoying and ruins the whole browsing experience, especially when watching videos. Because of the unwanted navigation bar, even a slight touch on the screen causes the videos or pages, but mostly videos, to move around left and right when in landscape mode. As you can see in one of the screenshots I sent, the video is not even visible, it's just a black screen, which is a different issue that I faced for the first time but I am not sure how often I'll get that in future but it's there.

If anyone can suggest a fix for this issue,(the one with the navigation bar and jumpy video screen) such as a setting that I can turn on or off to get rid of the navigation bar, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear support team,

I am experiencing a problem with one specific website, zerohedge.com. Whenever I use the back button to return from an article to the home page, the page appears completely blank, and I am forced to refresh it every time. This is happening on the Android version of Firefox, version 111.1.1 (Build #2015941331) with NoScript and PrivacyBadger add-ons installed.

I have not made any changes to the settings, and this problem has only started occurring about a week ago. I have never observed this behavior before.

I've been reusing android firefox again lately and I noticed I would have a bunch of tabs at a time. Then I realized that it was because whenever I would click a shortcut from the search screen it would open the page in a new tab instead of staying on the current tab. Is there a way to change this?

put the + back for new tabs. I hate hate hate hate that I have to go all the way over to the 3 lines for a drop down menu for new tabs. it's such an easy fix to put the plus sign back. why do you make simple features SO DIFFICULT

bold text Firefox opens ONLY in Full Screen Mode and can not be minimized. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have clicked on the 3 horizontal bars on the right. I don't want to switch to Chrome or Safari, but I may have to.

This is a person using a Samsung Fold 2 mobile phone. When using Firefox Android, there are times when the keyboard stops working. In that case, it usually works fine when I close firefox and then open it again. It's hard to turn it on and off every time. I don't know why, but it seems to happen often when I press the search bar to search in the Google search bar. If the Android keyboard appears slower than usual when you press the search bar, it becomes 100% dead and no chatting occurs even if you press it. When it is stuck, nothing is typed in the same way even if you press a new tab in Firefox and try to write on another page. This is a symptom that has been going on for more than a year already, and since a certain patch, the same symptoms have continued to appear, but they are still not fixed. Other browsers don't seem to have this symptom, so I'm posting a question like this to see if there's a solution to Firefox's problem.

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android. On certain websites (e.g., Yahoo News, Calscape.org, Google search results--with Goggle Search Fixer add-on enabled), I can scroll down the page without issue, but scrolling slowly back up toward the top of the page with downward drags of my finger is only responsive half of the time. That is, I can only scroll back up with every-other downward swipe/drag of my finger. This odd behavior does not happen with other mobile browsers (I'm on Android 13 and using a Galaxy A53 5G). Any suggestions?

Since yesterday’s update, whenever I try to touch the address bar to enter in something (anything at all), it flashes for a bit and doesn’t do anything. It’ll show the search engine and go back to its usual state. I’ve never had this issue before.

I’ve tried redownloading the app on my iPad (Silicon iPad from 2022. Firefox and my iPad are at the latest version.), but nothing’s worked.

I’m out of options. Can anyone help?

please i am Begging you let me put the forward/backward buttons on the search bar why do i have to open a separate menu to do this

ability to Choose what gestures do (for example, swiping on the search bar in either direction to navigate history rather than tabs) would also be acceptable, if slightly less convenient (as i suspect something like that would only allow moving forward/back one page at a time, as opposed to simply press-and-holding to pull up all your options to jump to)

i am losing my mind a little bit here i don't understand why it has to be so roundabout

Hello, I'm not tech savvy at all so I'm stumped. I am currently trying to read a story in reader mode, and while it was fine for the first few chapters, after that random characters would have random error boxes and were not individually legible, although one could piece it together from context. How should I fix this? Pictures attached below of Original Page + Normal Reader Mode vs Original Page + Problem Reader Mode.

Thank you.

Google pixel 7 pro, android 13 April patches, Gboard keyboard app, Firefox for Android 112 / 113 beta:

behaviour: 1) I open an app on Android (i.e. YouTube) 2) bring it to splitscreen and select Firefox as second app arranged below 3) in Firefox, I tap on the address bar 4) the keyboard appears from below, the upper app (YouTube) is halved in height (correct behaviour?) and type an URL in firefox' address bar, and press enter 4) the website loads, the keyboard slides down to be hidden again. 5) but there remains a black area at the bottom of the screen (about 1/6th of the screen height, but not as high as the keyboard was before) and the above app is still cut in half. Firefox itself looks okay and stays usable. 6) I can bring up the keyboard again by typing, the black area reappears if the keyboard is hidden again, upper app remains cut. 7) if I bring up the keyboard and then use the "hide keyboard arrow down button" in Gboard, the keyboard slides away and no black bar remains, upper app is fully visible, everything is right then. so the problem only happens if Firefox is inducing the hide keyboard command(?).

- checked with different upper apps (IMs, YouTube, ...) no difference in behaviour. - tried the same with Chrome and Vivaldi browsers as "lower apps" - auto-hiding the keyboard after typing works there as intended, no remaining black area, no cut upper app. tried with Firefox in non-splitscreen mode, it works as intended there.

I waited for several updates for Android, gboard and Firefox or Firefox beta, no change since like january.

any idea how to solve this? thanks Seb

Whenever I type a URL into the address bar in FF for Android, it leaves the existing page in the tab, and navigates to the URL in a new tab. The same thing happens if I tap the address bar and then tap one of the "quick link" icons.

How do I get FF for Android to behave like desktop FF, where things don't magically get opened in new tabs unless I explicitly open a new tab?
