I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Lately my Firefox app window will just randomly close while I'm using it. I notice most often on Facebook, but that's because it's the most often used page.

When I reopen the app, it's like I just opened it, not like it got minimized.

What's wrong with it? I have it updated to current version, as well as I've run malware and virus scans to see if it's my phone. Nothing found.

the app just asked me if i my experience was good and this is where the link brought me. The firefox mobile app on android is performing teribly over last few updates. websites take 1000x times longer to load some elements. it feels like the cache gets full after loading 10 images. youtube videos take nearly 30 seconds to load on gigabit internet. marketplaces just wont load images. it gets stuck buffereing images and videos. the easiest fix is to switch browsers which completely eliminates issues. this is happening on multiple android devices. either the code for this app is ruined or compromized. the problem is not on my linux or mac devices. I really have loved firefox up to this point, and its sad that after 1 month of questionable management the browser is starting to break down. i am now forced to switch just so i can use the internet. also side not if there was ever a way to get themes on mobile browser that would be nice.

I recently had my firefox mobile for android updated apparently, but it is so user unfriendly and not very accessible in the way that the new layout with the dark tabs and small pictures makes it very hard to read which tabs are open and is unfriendly on the eyes. Is there any way I can revert back to the previous version? I really loved the layout and the user friendliness of it and now I am just considering downloading another browser because I am so bummed by this update. Thanks in advance.

This problem is worst when doing online shopping. When entering card details, I will often need to switch to my banking app to confirm a transaction. When I return to Firefox this will then reload the page, usually losing the transaction state and making it impossible to complete the purchase.

New Android phone typically iPhone user, learning settings garrison locked nearly every setting off Google anything. It chrome refuses allow download Firefox without download through Google play slings page off reRoutes to goo play.

Options  ?

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

My keyboard pops up randomly and semi-transparently while also being unusable. It's also preventing from interacting with the webpage behind it. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I recently started using Firefox for Android and noticed it offers a clean interface, smooth browsing experience, and strong privacy features compared to many other mobile browsers.

I’d like to know more about the best settings, extensions, and privacy features available in Firefox for Android. Also, what are the main advantages of using it over other Android browsers for daily browsing, speed, and security?

Would appreciate tips from experienced users regarding performance optimization, battery usage, and recommended add-ons. Thanks!

I have set Firefox to delete all data on quit. It does not. Details of closed tabs are not erased. I would be happy for no browser history to be saved but this does not seem to be an option.

I have an issues while typing certain phrases for example: 1-while typing "8oh" after typing "h" it autocorrect to "88oho" and place cursor behind last "o" so result looks like "88oh|o" where "|" is the cursor. 2-while typing "34-34W" after typing "W" it autocorrect to "34-334-34W4" and place cursor behind last "4" so result looks like this "34-334-34W|4" where "|" is the cursor. It is occurring everywhere like in search engine Google, while typing comments on YouTube and even in this particular window while typing about this issue. It does not occurre in adres bar. It does not occurred while writing without text prediction. It occurred even autocorrect is disable.

Ever since a recent update the Firefox app for android has had issues with text input for me. It's only Firefox, nothing else on my device has this issue, and it makes inputting text a huge hassle.

It often seems like the cursor randomly will move into a word even if it shouldn't, or it will trigger an auto-complete partway through typing a word (despite me having this disabled). It especially seems to happen if I go back to correct a word that had a typo or if I'm typing something with a hyphen, so "level-headed" will become something like "level-level-head-lehvel", as if it's repeatedly trying to autocomplete from different parts in the word.

This seems most notable if I access sites that I have saved to my homescreen for easy access (such as Tumblr, since I don't use the app), but seems to happen at random in general.

It makes text input pretty frustrating, which is a probem since that's a primary thing I do online.

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

No, I CANNOT delete Google as a search engine if I simply set another search engine as default. I DID that and the option to delete Google is still blacked out. Try again.
