I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

For a few weeks now, trying to to type anything while using Firefox on android mobile is an exercise in frustration and insanity. It makes me want to tear my hair out. I type part of a word, and then it suddenly adds the autocompleted word after the end of the letter I already typed. It also keeps screwing up after apostrophes: I type "The car is Jo's car" for example, and suddenly the cursor makes a space after "Jo", but the cursor moves to behind the "s". The end result looks like "The car is Jo' car"s

I'm not making this up, it literally happened while typing the above line and I decided to leave it like that for you to see. Typing in firefox right now is maddening.

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.

Firefox keeps crashing after only 2cminutes of use on Amdroid-here's the message:

While attempting to go on Firefox, it instructed me that I had to sign in again, despite the fact that I was already signed in 5 minutes earlier. Then, when I tried to sign in, it was telling me my password was wrong. Despite the fact that it was auto saved. And I have had to sign in several times with that same password. And it was correct every other time. I tried the other passwords that had apparently been saved under my phone number and under a username which were all considered wrong. I tried to use the backup codes which did not give me an option to use those. When attempting to reset my password, it asked for an account recovery key. But the issue with that was while trying to set those up every time I would go to save it to a note app, even if the note app was in a little pop-up so I didn't have to leave Firefox. It still would kick me to the beginning or if I tapped anything other then firefox and when it kicked me to the beginning it would display that there was no recovery key set. I still saved every code, just in case. I'm glad I did, but it didn't really make a difference, because when trying to add those keys, because now it's asking for a key that it told me wasnt even set, it still said those were all wrong. Every single one of them so I lost all my information, like everything that I had saved, all my bookmarks and everything. And this is the second time this has actually happened. And it's just getting ridiculous, because theres no reason why I should have been signed out in the first place and every time I leave the app even if its running in the background or if I close and restart my phone when I come back on it's saying, there's sync issues, Log back in, or there's been times where i've had to wait hours or days to try to log back in because it was saying that there's sync issues or login issues or something or another or it can't be reached.Try again later and it's out of control. On top of that the past two days most websites and paged either wont load claiming Javascript needs to be enabled and after spending hours trying to locate the option which ive seen a thousand time before but now its disappeared so im unable to use most of the sites I visit often. Sometimes a few tries will get it to load but most often I give up. Then to make everything else worse the typing is a flipping. Nightmare it randomly jumps when typing so if I dont notice it half my messages or documents and even my coding scripts will be jumbled or if I try to delete something itll jump to another spot and delete something from somewhere else or itll add words multiple times in a row or repeat bits of a sentence and then the app has been unbearably slow. Im not sure if its all becayse of the app or because of my device. Either way I could really use some help getting this fixed Firefox is my go to but the way it is now I cant keep using it. Any help or suggestions or resources that can walk me through fixing it myself are all welscomed.

For years now... It's crippling, every time I leave the Firefox browser... It refreshes when I return.

5,000 times in the last two years since I got my Motorola play 2023 phone... I try to login to a site and have to click on messages to get a code and the browser refreshes and I have to start over.

1,000 hours of nonsense you have caused me. I couldn't get food stamps or Medicaid because of your bullshit

It's called persistent Internet you fucktards and you need to learn about it

I built netsys.com, delta.net, Damocles.com, inetexpress.com, USA.net and medicare.com.

I worked for ANS for 6 years building the first fault tollerant internet backbone in America.

It's fucking 2026 assholes... I should be able to multi-task... Like Windows 1.0 back in 1986.

I've loaded firefox onto my phone & have tried syncing it with my compter multiple times but it fails each time. I've used firefox on my computer for many years & would love to sync w my phone.

Without thinking I uninstalled Firefox on my android. It appears I didn't have an account set up or had synced my bookmarks and open tabs. Is there any way to get them back? 😞

Hi everyone, I'm Ekin. Firefox is by far my favorite browser, and I proudly use it accros all of my devices. However, the lack of support for theme extensions on Android- especially on tablets- is a really frustrating limitation for me and many other mobile users. The standart UI can feel a bit plain on larger tablet screens. I would highly appreciate it if you could consider bringing full theme and extension support to the Android version. Specifically, having the ability to use animated themes and tab customizations (like the classic Nyan Cat theme) would make the mobile experience incredibly fun and and dynamic. Thank you for your hard work, and I hope to see this feature in the future updates. Best regards, Ekin

Everything I had saved has gone. My passwords for at least 12-14 years all the shortcuts to everything I had have gone. Even my saved recovery key has gone. Cannot even recover to an earlier time. I have been with you for donkeys years. I am absolutely heartbroken

When using Bing as the search engine, typing in Chinese returns garbled text and malformed URL suggestions. This also occurs when visiting bing.com directly and typing in Chinese into the search box; however, English input works perfectly fine. Other search engines (such as Google, Baidu, DuckDuckGo) do not have this issue. The problem is specific to Firefox—it does not occur on Chrome. I have tried reinstalling Firefox and clearing all data, but the issue persists. However, it disappears when I use an extension to spoof Firefox's user agent to mimic Chrome。However, extensions cannot be used on the homepage, so this issue is essentially unfixable
