I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Before the update, if you turned on private browsing mode on your mobile, it would always be in private browsing mode. But now, if you turn off Firefox, private browsing mode will be turned off. Always private browsing mode was a big advantage of Firefox. I suggest you roll back the update or make it always private.

Hello!

In Firefox android, sometimes when I press the address bar, instead of coloring and deleting the whole address, so I can type new address, it goes into some editing mode, where when I start typing, it starts continuing the address already there. What is this extremely annoying feature? I share a screenshot where an address is colored. The grey "normal" part, and the purple part where the cursor is when I start typing.

On occasion, I have sites using "disable ad blocker". Mostly, I do not continue, but on some occasions I want, or need to continue and am willing to disable the "ad blocker", but there is no seeming ability to identify the ad blocker. I go to extensions, and see only recommendations. You probably know this, but in case, I am using an android phone. . Bottom line is I can't see a site that I wish to view. Thank you

Hi,

Ever since I had to reset my phone's settings to troubleshoot another app, Firefox keeps dumping all of the thumbnails for my tabs seemingly every day now, even if I keep it open and give it unrestricted battery access.

This did not used to happen and is exceedingly frustrating.

I am a Samsung Galsfy s22. See attached image for my software details

As a note, I know this may sound hostile, but 'keep less tabs open' is not a welcome or helpful answer. When I tried to search this, that was the only 'answer' I saw given to some other user who had this issue years ago. As I said, this only happened after my settings got messed up, so I know something is off, as it used to work fine

Specifically, this is the 'advice' that screwed it up for me.

Reset App Preferences:** Go to your device's settings, then Apps, and reset app preferences to ensure no default settings are impacting Discord."

And it's now getting worse and more bizarre. Just last night I reloaded some tabs, went to do the same to others, and then found those first ones were unloaded again. But comparatively older tabs stayed open. I don't even see a pattern of the type of site that it blanks more quickly, it's bizarre.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

We use Firefox for Android as our default browser. It allows 2x rows of up to 4x shortcuts per row on the homepage.

Would it be possible for next version to allow 3 rows or even 4? Since shortcuts are a very handy feature.

when I download an image from a web page I get a pop-up near the bottom that shows that the download was completed successfully. while normally this may appear to be a useful feature this has the primary issue in that it is blocking an important component of a frequent used website.

Swiping away the notification does not allow me to interact with website control and I must change pages or wait some indeterminate amount of time.

I would highly desire a method to disable this on page pop-up.

Pop-ups of any sort have been the bane of users existence since early days of browsers, adding your own does not mean it's necessarily good.

I have attached an example of the pop-up I am talking about.

Hello, the problem is that when playing music on the vk.com website in the background, it stops after a few seconds.

In other cases, it also plays until the end in the background, but does not play the next track.
I would also like to add a couple of buttons

"Next Track" (⏭),

"Previous Track" (⏮) to the "Music Control Widget" that appears in notifications on my smartphone.
Also, please add a progress bar that currently doesn't support rewinding from the "notifications" window or movement animations.

I would prefer to use Firefox as my password manager in Xiaomi HyperOS system. In display over other apps, Firefox isn't listed, it does provide the option to select as password manager however. Will this affect the performance? Thanks.

Normally, files I download are saved to the Downloads folder, but today I saved a file (save link as) and it was downloaded to the 'Movies' folder, is this a bug? I was in this website (https://www.eev3.com/mp3/mmwmdhhvm.html) and click the '歌词下载' button to download file, it's a .lrc file, and I found it in 'Movies' folder.

When I used YouTube through the Firefox browser, sometimes the full screen goes actual full screen, sometimes it shrinks the video and outs it in the top 2/3s of the screen. I'm not sure what setting could be changed, or if this is a YouTube issue. Its a pretty massive difference, uploading 2 screenshots showing the difference.

Whenever I watch a video in full screen the notification bar doesn't go away. It stays on one side of the screen as a grayed out bar. I've tried uninstalling Firefox on my phone & installing once again, clearing cache, logging in & out of my account, even clearing my settings & redoing everything one by one but nothing works. This issue persists on all websites when the video is in full screen mode.

Excuse me for asking a question.

I am using the Android version of Firefox in Japan, and after searching for the Gboard keyboard input app in Google search, the keyboard screen often freezes, as shown in the photo.

I have tried several things to resolve the issue, but have not been able to do so. (What I have tried: clearing the cache for Firefox and Gboard, reinstalling both apps, turning off research)

If you have any other possible causes or solutions, I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

- Devices: Google Pixel 8a, Galaxy S24 - Firefox (Android version) - Gboard (Google's keyboard app)
