I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Usually the mobile version looks the way it should, but sometimes, shortly before an update, it changes its layout to Desktop Mode for a few days at a time. I am not sure why, and the layout usually changes back shortly after the update was made.

I do not use auto rotate to switch to landscape format but the manual rotate button which shows up when you disable auto rotate. When i play a video in the Firefox Browser on Android and rotate with the button it rotates to landscape. When I then play a video (for example on youtube, but not only there) and open it in fullscreen and go out off fullscreen and want to rotate back to portrait the button just does not appear and i am stuck in portait format. I need to close Firefox and start it again for it to work properly again.

I hope I am right in asking for help here since this problem does not occur with Chrome but if I am wrong please tell me where to ask for help.

There are multiple audio tracks coming from the video playing on X. The sound of the same video is repeating. The sounds of the same video are all jumbled together.

Hi there,

I recently tried to customise the firefox icon on my phone (Android v14). The path: Firefox: Settings>Customise>Select App Icon

Unfortunately I have ended up with two duplicates of the firefox app icon (shown in image) that I cannot seem to remove. The only option shown is to uninstall which doesn't sound right

Is there any way to remove the duplicates or else revert back to the original icon?

Let me know if more info is needed.

Many thanks

Je ne peux ouvrir un document apres son téléchargement. Est ce parce que " le logo d'un masque" de connexion privee s affiche en haut de l écran ? Comment faire pour lire mon document ?

PS sur la copie ecran envoyée ci dessous vous verrez en haut de l écran le fameux "masque" est ce cela le problème que faire ? Merci Isabelle

I use YouTube on the Firefox browser. Previously, the YouTube search bar was black, but now it has turned white. As a result, when I type something, both the text and the search bar appear white, making it impossible for me to see what I am typing.

Secondly, when I watch a YouTube video in landscape mode on Firefox, if I exit the browser and then re-enter to continue watching, the video automatically exits full-screen mode. It starts showing the video along with the title and channel name again. I want the video to stay in full-screen/landscape mode even after I exit and return to the browser, as it would make it much easier to use. Currently, even though the screen stays in landscape orientation, the video itself drops out of full-screen.

I've started watching YouTube through my browser and I've begun to notice that it'll automatically change the settings on the site to block autoplay of audio and video, which stops background play.

I have the setting set to allow autoplay audio and video.

I notice it when I switch from the tab and it'll stop playing so I go to the page specific settings and it's switched to block.

How are they doing this? And what can I do to stop it from doing this?

I know it could be Samsung pass that's not optimised for firefox but it seems to be working fine on other apps.

Hence my question; Why isn't firefox not optimised for Samsung pass?

When I follow a link from Gmail to an article I want to read, Firefox opens a new browser window in the upper left corner of the screen. I have chosen "full screen" which then goes to full screen and immediately back to the tiny window. I have changed the default to Chrome, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and changed multiple settings with no success. Now I'm looking for ideas. Thanks much for any light you can shed on this issue. Joe

I'm signed in on both the mobile and desktop app with the same account, sync is on for both of these, but the sync is not actually happening. None of my passwords or history is accessible in the mobile app. It also seems to not save any history at all because I keep having to type in whole web addresses instead of the app filling in the rest itself, even though I've visited these websites many times. There's no error in the settings or anything, it's just not working properly.

When I'm sent links via the "share" functionality of apps or websites, I get an url beginning with https://share.google... This url is not resolved by Firefox browser on the phone, so when I click it (Firefox is my default mobile browser) or even copy paste it in the search bar, the website remains loading. If I copy paste it in Chrome browser, it works normally.

when I browse a Bengali or Bangla language website the word is broken, the fonts are broken. it's not able to read the sentence properly. how it could be solved? there is no Bangla fonts extensions in the community I have checked it.

The text selection toolbar (often just called the text selection menu or contextual selection toolbar) is used throughout my Android/Samsung phone. It appears whenever you long-press text, a textbox, or URL bar, and shows actions like Paste, Copy, Select all, and sometimes Extract text depending on your keyboard/OEM.

In the lastest Android Firefox app update, the "Clipboard" option is no longer present in the app on the contextual selection toolbar.

This is a major inconvenience. I'm a longtime Firefox user and this missing feature is a huge inefficiency problem. This means I cannot easily use text copied or cut from elsewhere on my phone and easily access it without individually and tediously copying and pasting individual text content.

Please see the attached image and gifs showing contextual selection toolbars with and without the "clipboard" option.
