I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hello,

My name is Nyayesh Abdollahi and I have a suggestion for Firefox; I've earlier been unable to access an account I created because the e-mail connected to it had been deleten.

This seems to me a proper weakness in Firefox and perhaps should be ameliorated...?

I just wanted to let you know this because I do think it's the best browser around.

If the problem has already been adressed, my apologies.

Kind regards, Nyayesh Abdollahi

As the title says, is it possible for reader view to follow the system's light/dark mode?

Currently, I can manually choose white on black, sepia, or black on white. That's great, though I'd prefer if the black/white or white/black would switch according to whether the system is in light or dark mode.

Apart from that, thanks for Firefox, I love it!

Hi team ,

I am looking for a configuration or a way to enable Firefox to work in Kiosk Mode ( WebView) on Android device. We are pushing Firefox and webapps from Airwatch MDM solution and Firefox opens fully instead of in WebView mode.

So I need some help here with App configuration or some kind of configuration file that I can puch from Airwatch to make firefox open in Kiosk Mode. Any help , very much appreciated. Thanks

While browsing Amazon.com using the past several builds of the Nightly for Android, I get this most annoying bouncing pop-up tip that is a yellowish with black font saying to click on this heart icon to save the product. I have never seen this on any other browser for Android, and never on my Firefox on my laptop or desktop. Is there anyway to get rid of it? I cannot stand this and I have almost thrown my phone because of it many times. I have never thrown a phone before. I cannot explain why, but it pisses me off so very much!

youtube will still auto play even I set the auto play off, is this a bug?

how to recreate the bug: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sKZktr08fyY

I use Firefox Android (newest version) on my OnePlus 8 Pro (Android updated to the newest version).

Usually when I browse the net, I tap the URL bar whenever I wanna head to another website on another domain (for example from google.com to youtube.com). I don't like to close the tab and open a new one as that's slower. I could tap the URL bar and immediately typ the new URL on my touch keyboard as the current URL would be already selected so typing the first characters of the domain name (for example 'you' for youtube.com) would replace the whole URL and autofill would then suggest the full URL so I could press Enter on my keyboard afterwards.

Some behaviour changed some versions ago. Now I can do that most of the time but *sometimes* tapping the URL bar does not select the whole URL. Instead, autofill will suggest a sub URL of the page I'm currently on and typing on my keyboard will only replace the additional part of the URL autofill suggests. If I wanna leave the website and go to a completely new one, I will have to manually delete the whole URL and start typing afterwards.

Look at the two images I've uploaded: Image "A" directly shows how it looks after I've tapped on the URL bar: I'm on URL "https://ytforum.de/f" which is a German board about youtube. Autofill suggests I could browse to "https://ytforum.de/f/unread-thread-list", which is their URL to display all unread topics of the board. As you can see, there's two different colors for the highlight of the selection. The left part which is the URL I'm currently on is highlighted with a grey color (red 1) while the new part suggested from autofill ("unread-thread-list", blue 2) is highlighted with a purle-ish color.

When I type "youtube" on my keyboard, I would now expect the whole URL to be replaced with youtube and autofill to suggest youtube.com, which is how it worked some versions ago. However, the first letter ("y") will cause the purple selection (blue 2) to be deleted while the letters afterwards ("outube") will be added to the already existing URL I'm currently on (red 1).

The result can be seen in image "B": the URL after typing "youtube" is now "https://ytforum.de/f/outube" which is not what I would ever expect and also it's not the site I want to go to. Please pay attentio to the "y" of "youtube" not being in the URL as this key acted like a delete press, only deleting the suggestion.

How can I make the URL bar to consistently ALWAYS select the whole URL on firefox android?

I also want to point out that this bug apparently only occures when you're on a sub path of a URL. For example this behaviour does NOT occur when I am only on "https://ytforum.de". It only occurs when I am on "https://ytforum.de/f" and it also only occurs on other sites when I'mn NOT on the top level of the domain. I also don't wish to turn off autofill completely. It's a very useful tool I use all the time to navigate to pages faster, I don't wanna miss it.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Why in this world firefox for android doesn't have speed dial and speed dials folders like literally rest of browsers ?!? why this is such a problem to do it ?!?!?

firefox android 113.2 when I deleted 113.1 and installed that version privacy badger when I add it does not work and there is private windows icon in notfications when I added this addon

Hi,

I actually really enjoy Pocket on my main windows machine in Firefox, read lots of the suggested articles all the time. However, when searching about it for Android all my queries seem to bring up the fact that it should be baked in from the get go.

My issue is that when I go to the "Customise Hompage" section there IS NO option for pocket. No mention, no checkbox etc. I have all the other options. I thought perhaps it was something else that I needed to download it from the app store separately however that didn't do anything either. I'm on 113.20 according the "About Firefox" section of the browser. Android version 13. I just did a reinstall of the app and nothing new appeared either.

Can anyone suggest any options.

I'm following the instructions to set Firefox nightly as my default browser, but when I go to settings and try to switch the toggle to "set as default browser" instead of doing it, it just opens a new tab with the instruction. I got up to 4 identical tabs before I gave up. I know how to do it, it's just malfunctioning.

In a separate issue, I have had Firefox Beta for about a year on my Kindle Fire, always worked great. Since the latest update, it won't even open. The screen pops up for a second, then immediately closes. I uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue. I installed regular Firefox, no issue. Then I found nightly, installed with no issue (other than the problem listed above).

The 'Open in App' button is missing in the overflow button.

I'm using Firefox beta for testers on Android. Version 115.0b3

I've attached here a screenshot of the overflow button while browsing YouTube.com on Firefox browser.

Why does Firefox automatically save tabs? It is annoying to have to delete them every day... I want the option to NEVER save the tab and close them all when exiting
