I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

There is a numbers left address bar, when I click there is nothing but a word create new tab for searching. I have to swipe left right all over to find the right tab i want. Do not tel me that I can search tab,, it's not ver confinence.. it is stressful

How do you disable the "feature" that closes tabs when you swipe over them by accident? It's way to sensitive and ends up closing tabs that I want to be left open all of the time.

I had about 20 tabs in my "Inactive tabs" on Firefox mobile. Today I wanted to open one of them, but all gone. I can't even found them in "recently closed tabs". This is very upsetting because some of them was very important for me.

Hi,

I'm quite annoyed about the new Android Firefox menu update. It takes up so much more space on the screen for not really adding any extra usability and the New Tab button is entirely gone in spite of there being plenty of space to have included it. Where did it go? I'd really prefer to have it back.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

Hey everyone

I had his problem for a while now and don't find a solution for the mobile version:

There are more and more websites that have 2-factor-authebtufication etc. With Firefox right now, when I start the login process and leave/minimize the app to go read my sms code / confirm my login attempt in another app (paypal, etc), and then go back to firefox, the login page has reloaded and often that means it left the confirmation screen and got back to the login page where I have to put my credentials in again. *endless circle*.

I read about it a bit and it might have different problems, I heard it can me a phone/bsttery optimization problem, but it almost certainely is the Firefox Settings, cause with Chrome it works fine! At rhis point, this happens so often that I needed to change my default browser, very sadly. Any suggestions?

Running Poco F6, HyperOs 2.0.2.0, Android 15, Firefox 138.04

I got a big announcement pop-up on Firefox desktop that support for mobile tab groups was added in 153 - https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/firefox/android/153.0/releasenotes/. I'm currently on 153.0.2 (Build #2016175759), and have no tab group feature.

Looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-firefox-android, none of these features are visible for me. Nothing in my tab area mentions groups, the section at the top (private/normal/other devices) doesn't have a "groups" section, and I can't drag tabs onto other tabs to create groups.

My only installed add-on is uBlock Origin. Is there any reason this feature isn't available for me?

When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

When i downloaded the app, it automatically came with the ability to group tabs, but after i customized several settings it took all of my tabs out of the groups and i can't group them anymore. The settings i changed ranged from privacy to personalization, i tried to reverse some of them to see if that would help and did a bunch of back and forth, but it's still not coming back. (Im trying to leave chrome because i noticed it had some very concerning lack of privacy settings that messed with my phone's ability to function properly if i turned them off. And Edge is worse.) Firefox seems better, but without the group tabs option it makes it waaaay too ridiculous to try and do any real work with it. I do a lot of multitasking and research and need to be able to bounce around and organize stuff. Your help stuff on tab groups doesnt say anything about how to turn it on or off. So... how do i get it back?

On Android, with the OS set to use the bottom 3 buttons (back, home, app switcher) and Firefox set to use bottom address bar, when multiple tabs are open, closing a tab causes the "Tab Closed" bar to cover the lowest tab in the list.

This causes problems when trying to close multiple tabs because it's no longer possible to hit the "X" marking on the next tab without swiping the box away first.

I don't recall exactly then this became a problem, but it was fine until a few months ago and then a change caused this issue to start.

There's a lot of empty space in the box, maybe smush the box to the left side of the screen so the next tab is still able to be closed?

When the "Delete browsing data on exit" feature is enabled in Firefox for Android, the app correctly clears selected data types (e.g., Browsing history, Cookies, Cache) upon exit. However, the "Recently closed tabs"list is completely unaffected and remains intact after restarting the app.
