I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

After the last update, your browser is lagging on youtube web, every time I press a button, it takes 5 seconds for the button to respond. Will Firefox bring fix solution for this ?

I have been using uBlock Origin for years to block ads in youtube. Recently I started getting ads again and when I checked I found uBlock was disable snd couldn't be enabled. I dl the latest version but it gives me an error message when I try to load it. Please help.

I have updated to the latest Firefox version for the Android app, using Samsung Galaxy S20. When viewing YouTube in mobile view (desktop view works though) through the browser, the comment section seem to be invisible and not showing. I have tried fresh reinstalling, and toggled all the settings, but I can't seem to get it to work on Firefox. Other browsers like chrome works just fine. Is this a bug?

How do I get the YouTube homepage to load more recommended content like it usually does?

Right now when I access the homepage a small portion of recommended content is loaded followed by a loading icon that doesn't seem to load anything.

Latest version (version above) on Android appears to have issues on startup of displaying shortcuts on the homepage. It doesn't initially display them, but if I select the private browsing symbol, then select it again to return to normal browsing, the shortcuts reappear. Then when I start Firefox later, having closed it down for a while, the same issue occurs.

Also, from not showing the homepage icons, clicking the '0' and clicking the '+' to add a new tab displays the icons.

Firefox used to start up and display the shortcuts without having to go through the above process.

I've tried various settings for the homepage but none resolve this.

Anyone having the same issue?

Screenshots attached.

Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!

Long pressing the Android back button on the navigation bar no longer displays the tab's history on Firefox Android.

There used to be a forward arrow option in the three button menu. Now there is not and I cannot find out where it is or how to navigate forward.

This seems like a bug because navigating forward is a core function of browsing. Anyone know where it went or how to fix this?

Stop keyboard and QR scan from appearing when app opened. If I want keyboard then I will tap search. I have pinned sites and bookmarks I use first and usually don't use search. Using search less with all the tracking and always wrong AI assumptions. Keyboard doesn't disappear when search is tapped. Doesn't disappear when screen is tapped. Obscures results. Been a problem for years.

The long-press back button no longer summons the tab's history on my Android phone or my Galaxy tab. Mozilla appears to have disabled this feature quite recently. I'm referring to the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner that you hit quickly to go back once. It was quite useful to do a long press on the arrow and have the history of the tab pop up in a list. You could then pick any page on the list and go directly back, skipping over all the other pages.

Please reinstate this useful feature?

When listening to YouTube in the background, sound is distorted and stutters frequently, which makes it pretty much unusable. Audio is okay when Firefox is in the foreground, but as soon as I lock the phone, audio stutters appear.

I found one fix on Reddit, disabling HD sound in developer options, but I was unable to try it since nobody explained how to get to these developer options, I wasn't able to find that setting myself.

It started happening since 135, was in beta as well. I opted out of beta because of it, but it came on stable release as well so now both beta and stable versions has this issue.

Has anybody encounter that or have fix?

I just discovered a bunch of installed extensions in the list I don't recognize, including several I definitely would not be interested in.

Is this the way Firefox android works?

Hello, i am having an issue with firefox mobile for android not loading certain websites. This seems to happen randomly and i cannot figure out why. When i click on a website url from the search page i sometimes get the error message, "Server Connection Failed", and i cannot get the page to load at all. I have tried to clear my cookies, clear my cache, uninstall and reinstall firefox as well as update it but it still keeps happening. This has been going on for years to the point where i am forced to use other browsers to get certain pages to work and load properly. I dont want to leave firefox because i really need the dark reader extension app because i have photo sensitivity due to epilepsy.

Can anyone help me figure this problem out or offer me an alternative browser where i can turn every page that i search to dark mode like the extension dark reader?

Thank you!

Firefox for Android on Pixel 8: When trying to use the Google image search in the browser or the search widget, there is no shutter button or any other camera controls—see attached screenshot. I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF multiple times and have rebooted the phone. This feature works fine in Chrome and the Google widget.
