I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Recently (perhaps the last week) I've had an issue where playing a youtube video in fullscreen doesn't fill the screen, instead having significant letterboxing on sides and bottom, in addition to the small amount caused by 18:9 screen. Can't find setting to fix, tried reinstalling and using without account/extensions.

When I click on links offered by the authors of YouTube channels, Firefox just refuses to resolve the links. I must open the link in another browser

0. Make sure Firefox is the default browser of your Android mobile phone. 1. Visit a YouTube video on YouTube.com 2. Click a link provided in the about-section for that video. 3. Link is sent to Firefox Expected outcome: that Ff opens the link Actual : it just stalls, probably due to a security measure taken by Firefox

Hi, Since the latest update (which added the grouping tabs function), if videos are played in Firefox they no longer connect to the built in Samsung media output controller (Samsung A34, updated to latest software). This means that I can no longer use headphones to eg pause/play which is super frustrating! Any ideas on what's changed and if there is a work around? Many thanks

When downloading content from sites especially large files on some occasion it splits creating new files instead of 1 Example : downloading file.zip 30 gb file File.zip 19gb File.zip 7gb File.zip 4gb They get split instead of a single file

For some time now, YouTube subtitles have stopped appearing on my Android Firefox browser.

Pausing the video makes the subtitles reappear, but they disappear again almost immediately.

This is very frustrating. Is there a solution?

To begin with, as there isn't an option in the drop down, I thought settings would be the best place to begin.

Hi,

 I'm curious if there is an avenue to customize FF, first for desktop and maybe the mobile,  and possibly even enterprise if accepted, via source. If it is possible, where exactly can I find the code? This is a preliminary question and I do plan to check git. The reason I'm starting here, one may ask of me. The answer is simple enough, like any other enthusiast dev, time is a resource best spent doing something you enjoy. So, where better to ask than the experts and community who may have a link on speed dial. 

Thank you all for any help!

When I try to pair my Firefox app on smartphone to my laptop with firefox.com/pair, I follow the steps and when entering the authentication code and going back to the app, I get a generic error saying the pairing failed.

In Firefox for PC you can add a search item to the address item in the toolbar.

This is necessary for adding a search engine using the Search Engine Search Tool from Mycroft Project (former Mozilla Mycroft Project: https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.php )

When you have selected a search engine for being added to the search engfine list you can use the down arrow in the search item for selecting the new search engine for being added.

Using Mycroft Project for adding search engines is a genuinely better and more effective way of searching and adding search engines than the manual method in the settings/search/alternative search engines/add search engine menu. On PC i have been using it for years.

Doing so is not possible using the address item because the down arrow is not there anymore when you have chosen a location, Therefore the additional search item is necessary.

Unfortunately the toolbar cannot be customized on android like on a PC. And i have found no other way to add a search item to the toolbar or in a second line of the toolbar.

PS: I have also tried to execute the HTML code for adding a search engine from Mycroft Project.

      The source code was displaied on the Firefox screen but it had no effect on the search engine list.
      No error message or sucess message was displaied.

Edited on Firefox on PC: 153.0 (64-bit)

Change request is for Firefox AS: 152-.0.1 OS: Android 16

Jumping to a discussion in an Article at another sit from a comment in discus.com does not open the comments section using Firefox as it does in Chrome I have to copy the link and paste it into Chrome to get to the comment’

I'm looking for a solution to open links in progressive web apps in full firefox: in a new page, with a usable address bar, and the link being one of the tabs in firefox mobile. I know you can tap the three dots and then "open in firefox" but i hate the two extra gestures every single time.

Auf verschiedenen Seiten merkt Firefox sich nicht den Standort, obwohl in der Einstellungen der Seite der Zugriff auf den Standort erlaubt wurde. Dies wird auch unter Einstellungen/Datenschutz&Sicherheit/Standort so angezeigt, dass den Seiten, z.B. grindr und Romeo.com der Zugriff erlaubt wurde. Trotzdem popptt bei jedem neuen Besuch der Seiten das Fenster auf, mit der Abfrage, ob der Seite der Standortzugriff erlaubt sein soll. Woran liegt das? Wie ist das zu beheben? Danke schon jetzt für Antworten auf diese Fragen.
