I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hi. So I've been having this issue where, I search something in google, it searches what I asked it to. Then I search again and it finds what I asked it to. The third time if I search again it'll go back to the first thing I tried to search as if i just pressed BACK twice. Something similar happens if I search for something, and then if I search the second thing and tap on the website and then press BACK, it'll go back to the first Google result I ssearched. It's been a few weeks this has been happening and the only thing that'll TEMPORARILY fix it is if I close firefox. If you need any more information I'd be happy to help you help me. Thank you!

Hello! I've recently been having some issues getting videos to play in the background from Firefox's audio notification media player feature. I very frequently use YouTube in the Firefox browser so that I can then exit the browser and still play the audio of a video via the media player, but last night that media player stopped working for me. When I close the Firefox app, I still get the notification as usual, but tapping the "play" button achieves absolutely nothing. I've tried to search the issue and test some fixes myself, but nothing has worked so far. The fixes I've tried include:

• Activated "Allow video and audio" in the Firefox Autoplay setting
• Made sure autoplay was allowed in the YouTube browser tab
• Tried to play the audio while connected to wi-fi and while on data
• Checked for updates to my phone, YouTube, and Firefox (I am up to date)
• Deployed the old "turn it off and turn it back on again" fix, both in Firefox (closing all tabs and re-opening), and for my phone (shut it down and restarted it).

None of the settings for the media player or general notifications for Firefox seem to govern this issue, so I'm bringing it here. Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me! (I've included a photo of the notification bar for extra reference)

Hi recently my phone got stolen and while im unable to afford a new one im using a samsung tablet model SM-T705Y which is not new and only tunning android 6, it cant even get a version of the youtube app that will work so i have to watch them on the website. This was all good until a few days ago when it just started coming up with a error message. Please help. Thanks, Travis.

I have installed web apps to firefox on my phone by using menu -> Add to Home Screen Now that they are installed, though, I cannot get rid of them. Even if I delete the icons from my home screen, they show up in the menu when I long tap on the firefox app icon and still act as apps there. I have looked for a way to remove them and have not found one. Is there no other option than wiping firefox's data?

Top bar reappears after page scrolled down, preventing further scrolling, but when releasing finger at the top of the screen the bar completely disappears and doesn't come back.

Is there any way that I can enable Thought-provoking stories on the Android version of Firefox? I would love to have this feature when I am travelling and I am with my tablet.

I am using Firefox on android and since the most recent update the app will no longer let me play videos in the background, in another tab or with the screen locked.

I semi-accidentally closed all my inactive tabs. All 4799 of them.

I first synced them to pc to sort through them (the mobile browser couldn't open them without crashing).

Turns out, only a tiny selection actually transferred over to PC. I had no idea there were that many tabs open, so I couldn't verify the number that transferred over to pc.

When I closed the inactive tabs, I saw how many I had deleted, and realised I've lost about 90 %.

Is there a way to recover these?

I also wish there was a tab counter on mobile, so I could've dealt with it sooner, before it got out of hand.

browsing history disappeared through no action of mine! (happened just now) Using Firefox on android and my entire browsing history (which was extensive) just disappeared! CAN I get it back? HOW??

Where is the issue tracker for Firefox Nightly on Android? The last few updates have caused the keyboard to block the bottom part of webpages, making it impossible for me to see what I'm typing.

Hey, I got an SD card for my phone recently and I've been trying to tell all apps to just go there, but I can't seem to find a way to make firefox download things to the SD card.. Am I missing some hidden setting?

in previous versions the 3 dots menu would open up the newer redesigned main menu that fills the lower 2/3rds of the screen by default, but by enabling debug settings and going into Nimbus Experiments and disabling "Android UI Redesign - Release" it could be changed back to the older, more compact dropdown-styled menu. as of one of the recent updates, the "Android UI Redesign - Release" toggle seemingly does nothing.

I preferred the older menu for several reasons. one issue being that the new menu lacks a new tab button. the others being that it just _feels_ subtly yet annoyingly worse in just about every way.

so, is there any way to still use this old menu, via about:config settings or something? or am I just SOL and need to figure out how to downgrade my version?

Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.
