I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

Меня бесит всратое объединение вкладок и вывод неактивных вкладок в "архив". Раньше куда более слабые компы/планшеты открывали все 100500 вкладок браузера при запуске. Учитывая что мощность железа постоянно растёт видимо пора обвинять вас в говнокодинге...

In previous versions there was the option to "select all tabs" and then comfortably send these to whatever program on android i selected (i choose my messenger to share them with another person for example or sent them to a textprogram to export the tabs to a list) now the "select all tabs" option is no more and i have to select every tab ONE BY ONE which is a horrible experience if oyu have 100+ tabs open. i do not understand why the "select al ltabs" option has been removed (maybe due to the new UI style?) and kindly ask to restore the option to "SELECT ALL TABS", this would greatly improve useability, many thanks!

When will "Firefox for Android" have grouped tabs?

NB: Grouped tabs add a better accessibility, arranged usage, speed, design & yet more...

You changed the new tab behavior a few updates ago where new tabs don't get opened besides the current tab but rather at the very end of the tab list. And me having quite alot of tabs open forces me to scroll back quite along time to get back to my previous tab.

An option to revert to the old behavior would be neat.

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.

Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?

Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks

Give us an option to turn off the group tabs it's been a headache for me I don't want this feature so just give me an option to turn it off please 👍 In fact an option to turn any future feature off would be fantastic adding an off option on every feature should be a default feature there's a lot of things I would turn off and I'm sure there's a lot of future features I would turn off so just add an off switch for everything in the future 👍

I have a suggestion for UX, UI in Android version. Like my attached pictures below, please put 3 buttons on the top (circled in red highlight) to the bottom to help us easy to click since then our thumb can't reach from the bottom to the top. Thank you.

Tab management has been changed. Very annoying new UI design.

I can no longer share all tabs with one click.

Please bring back this feature.

Is there a setting to go back to the old behavior?

In which version had this feature?

Where can I download  old version's APKs?

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

How do I revert the update that was forced onto my that changed the window where I view tabs of different pages? It has completely changed and it's frustrating and I do not understand it. I wanted to go back to the style it was. I am not very versed in technology and changes like this make things unusable for me.
