I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi!

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://www.selfgem.com/en/products/tooth-gem-kits

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!

When I set a shortcut for a website, I just get a randomly colored icon with the first letter of the domain in the center from some website . This happens even though the websites have proper favicons — I checked. The issue seems to be with the app itself, not the sites. I also tried it on a freshly installed latest firfox browser, and the problem persists. One example is https://www.perplexity.ai/, which doesn't show its icon either.

The Firefox focus browser for Android doesn't open New tickets when I want to open New url adress? I have to click on ads or something similar to open new web Page. Please help!

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

I don't think Accessibility is the proper topic. I couldn't find a more relevant topic in the list.

The concern I have is why the "Send Tab" feature in Firefox for Android isn't in the same place as in the desktop version? It is easily found in the sync menu (shown as the user's email address) but in the Android version it's under share instead of the sync menu where it belongs. Why isn't there any consistency between platforms? Consistency is very important for ease of use, efficiency and user satisfaction. Please at lease try to lix this issue in the next subversion or the next version, which ever is more feasible.

Thank you.

I am getting Firefox on my tablet so I can use a Portable device. You are on my desktop as advised by my son. He years ago advised me to learn email. To do so meant a non credit class at the local university. It is now many years later and I a retired nurse seeks his advise for all computer related things. Email for communication has been very important as my family is in Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC. In the past I did travel out of Canada but did keep my family aware of my movement and did book my own transportation, accomodation etc. Email allows this. I felt secure using Firefox to do this. You have proven my son was wise in his advise. I can trust Firefox. Vera Hamilton

Last week at least for several days the Firefox Browser loa It was taking a 1 minute or more to load a web page. Other browsers including Chrome & Duck Duck Go were loading the same page in a second or less. I had cleared the Cache with no change. Because of this issue I had stopped using Firefox for several days. I just rechecked this morning to give you more specific info and Firefox was working perfect with no delays! I am not sure if a system change was made in the last several days, however I will update my review. Thank you.

Please, as of late last year the "Bookmarks" have been all over the place. They just, recently, shifted around again. It's maddening! Can you not fix this annoying problem?

I used to have Bookmarks in a particular order based upon the most frequently used ones vs others plus, I also had rhem grouped according to websites associated with them and their relevance.

Now, I can no longer edit their order back to what I had before.

The current selection for sorting does have any way to customize them either.

Is there a work around or app that will provide the capability to order them as 'I' need them to be?

I am running on android 15 v7. Samsung S22 Ultra Firefox current version - 139.0

On at one website I log into, in the field where I enter my username and password, the font color blends in with background so much, it's almost impossible to read what I typed. The background is white, and the font is very close to White. When I invert the colors, the background is black, and the font is nearly black. I have to use a 5x magnifier to see what's written in the fields because there is so little contrast between the font and the field.

I've adjusted color inversion, transparency and blur, high contrast fonts, etc. nothing improves it.

This problem behaves the same way on both my Samsung A12 and A15 phones.  But, it looks perfectly fine using Chrome browser!

I just intalled firefox for androind form the google play store on my samsung tablet, model SM-T713, running android 7.0, and it seems to have rendering issues on most websites i visit(example image attached)

Reinstalling the app has not solved it, factory resseting the device has not solved it, and no other apps, including browsers, show this issue, exept any version of firefox.

I was told by the staff on the gplay page to report this issue here.

Thank you.
