I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hi, Being that OLED and AMOLED screens have become more frequent in recent years (and seem to be coming to stay) I am perplexed by the seeming impossibility of finding a way to make Firefox more friendly towards these devices.

I would like to use Firefox with a true black theme on its UI that would waste less battery and go easier on my screen's long-time durability. However, not only do I find that there is no option to do this in-built on the app, there isn't even support for external add-ons or thèmes that could get the job done!

There really shouldn't be any reason why, even if the Mozilla team are unwilling to code the option into the default settings, it couldn't be done through a user-made theme.

Instead, the solutions I've come across seem to span from third-party apps that require rooting the device to modifications made directly by decompiling the APK!

I know this was more of a complaint than a request, but heavy battery usage is a *valid* reason not to use something like a browser, which is likely to accrue several hours of use each charge cycle.

This *is* something Mozilla should care about.

TLDR;

Please point me to a way of making the Firefox UI AMOLED-black that does not require me to mess with the internals of an APK or void my phone's guarantee.

Sorry for the essay.

On my Samsung Galaxy s6 when I try to add to the home screen and then choose the option to tap and hold and drag to the screen, it just closes the app it is nothing. It doesn't work. The text options from the pop-up do work but the main graphic where it's trying to get you to drag and drop it does not work.

Hello, so. I just moved from Chrome to Firefox recently. My first move was on my laptop which I enjoyed the experience so I had to try out the mobile version. So far the experience has been pretty okay but I have been coming across occasional crashes and the app is sometimes slow generally. I tried figuring out what's going on by googling how to make the app run faster. I deleted all my mobile extensions but the difference wasn't too visible. I still do experience some last when accessing memory hungry website's like Instagram and Facebook. I know I can just have the apps but I prefer to use the website's (it helps me reduce my doom scroll period). But if I'm being fully honest, I think it's because of my phone in general. My phone is a Samsung A16. The phone on it's own has been generally slow so I think that might be the case but I can't say for sure because the frequency of the app freezes and lack in speed wasn't as common when I was using Chrome. By no way am I saying Chrome is better but I'm just saying that Chrome was faster than Firefox. I'm mostly facing these problems on my phone. Who knows maybe it's my phone still getting used to the app. I really want Firefox to work because it's been a good experience overally plus the added privacy and VPN are a great bonus I never knew I needed till now. Anyways I hope this is just my phone being moody and not the app, I am planning on upgrading the phone soon anyways so I hope that will change. But yeah I just wanted to let you know that this is what I'm experiencing, otherwise everything else has been great. I hope someone can help me out.

Have a great day.

If i search a topic, then search another topic, find a relevant page, then scroll back, it scrolls back to the original search topic and not what I last searched, then I have to type it again.

Firefox runs in background even after menu quit option with clear all browser history (proper exit). Firefox heats my phone while using. I am using Android 13 phone.

Every time I have a slow download speed that causes failure after interruption, I have to open the system's own browser, but the system's built-in browser is dozens of times the download speed, and there has never been a failure. The web page opening speed I have tested with the same search engine Bing search shows that the system only takes 3 seconds. Although the mobile version of Firefox also opens in seconds, it takes six seconds. I like Firefox very much, but it would be better if the mobile version could be improved.

I just wanted to point out that the browser on Android has too many processes running in the background—I’ve never seen anything like it before, and it doesn’t seem normal to me. I’ll attach some screenshots of the processes on my phone.

Firefox on my wife's phone keeps randomly opening. How do I figure out what's causing this. First we noticed it happened when she plugs in an auxgzilery battery pack but then it's randomly opening anytime. What should I try to fix this. I thought I would remove and reinstall Firefox but I just figured the settings would remain as they are.
