I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I can't share any files, but rather than saving to my downloads folder, I've found the app is downloading to the folder I had intended to move the files to. The issue is that the naming structure of the files is based on the week/day. So if it's Monday of the first week of the month, it would be Mon-1. When downloading another Mon-1 to the downloads folder, I'd get Mon-1(1), which is exactly what I want. When I use my file browser to move them, it also renames the new file to Mon-1(1), perfect. If I download Mon-1 and this issue occurs, Mon-1 will overwrite the existing Mon-1 in my reports folder. Now I have reports from all different months in my January section with January just about wiped from my phone. I have changed everything but Firefox and the phone and the issue still occurs, so I can only assume it's either an android issue or a Firefox issue.

I have Release, Beta (and Nightly) on this 10" Samsung tablet running Android 13. For some months I've been expecting the new tab bar (tabs accross the top, like on desktop, and a + on the left) to arrive in the Release version I normally use. I assumed it was being held back.

Today I saw it in Beta 133. I updated Release so that's now: 133.0 (Build #2016057495), hg-8141aab3ba85+ GV: 133.0-20241121140525 AS: 133.0

I now see default desktop view (good idea) - but no tab bar. I've searched settings unsuccessfully.

Why not? Is it behind a pref which I can't change? What's the plan?

Many medical conditions limit manual dexterity. I’ve had essential tremor since childhood; it’s harmless, but it does complicate the business of using a smart phone. Some applications (e.g., Proton Mail) have settings for the user to choose what happens upon swiping left or right; I set them to “do nothing” or to the most harmless of the actions listed. I don’t see such a setting in the Android version of Firefox.

It would be useful, because I usually keep many tabs open, which means that when I look at the grid of tabs, I need to scroll up and down to see them all. However, moving my finger straight up or down is difficult: any trembling while I move up or down seems to be interpreted as swiping sideways, and then a tab closes. I can find and re-open tabs using the “Recently closed tabs” menu, but I’d rather tabs not close so easily because I don’t always notice when I lose them.

There’s a somewhat similar, archived comment at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419070, but the setting referred to in one of the proposed solutions is about swiping on the address bar (I turned that off long ago), not in the grid of tabs. And I don’t see a way to disable left- and right-swiping for all applications at once in the Settings app of Android 12, with which I’ll be stuck for a while.

Hi. FF Android seems not to show a context menu automatically when text gets marked/selected. By holding the finger longer then appears the popup context menu. It should be standard to get always this option when text gets marked/selected because its a logically following action.

And when moving by car or train or feet, it is impossible to hold a finger calm.

Thx Am I right here to ask for that?

When you have the 'Open links in apps' setting turned on, clicking a link will open the app but also open the link in browser as well. This is annoying because if I'm searching for something and switching back to the browser, I have to click back every time to go back to the search results.

- This is a problem on Firefox Beta for Android - I have a Pixel 8a - It works fine on standard Firefox for Android - It is not specific to one app - The open in app part works fine. It's just the browser shouldn't also go to the website at the same time.

Hey, I'm writing to you with a request, could you add an option to your browser because currently, when you turn on YouTube in the Fire Fox application for example and start a movie, it automatically stops after the screen turns on, and could you add an option that would allow you to turn off this automatic stopping of the movie after the screen turns off in the settings? I was thinking about changing the browser to Brave because there is such an option there, but I got attached to Fire Fox and I feel safer there, so please consider my proposal for a new option.

Firefox for Android app, build 132.0.2.

When opening the password tab, the prompt to enter your devices pin or password appears as it should. However, spamming the "cancel" button on the prompt or the Android's back button (about 4 or 5 times) allows you to go to the password manager and view all usernames and passwords without reentering the device's pin/password.

To recreate: open the password tab, enter pin prompt opens, pressing cancel reopens the pin prompt, pressing cancel 4 or 5 times opens the password manager without verification.

I need to know how to recover all my tabs after closing them accidentally. I dropped my phone when trying to access tabs settings to disable the "inactive section" (that I had not enabled, I don't know why that thing was done without my consent), and accidentally hit "close all tabs". I see that, as of last year, there was no way to do it, but maybe after all the questions about this they added something. Recently closed tabs still shows the last that I closed manually

Hello, My Firefox on Android (latest version) is missing the "always" setting in "open links in native apps". It is also clear to me that this version doesn't even ask me to open links in native apps (that is the current setting). I would like to understand if this is a bug or something that has changed in one of the releases and the help pages aren't yet updated. Thanks

Just a suggestion- on the browser collections its currently really easy to mistakenly swipe right while scrolling through a collection list and inadvertantly delete items . Suggest adding a delete confirm stop before deleting.

While using Firefox for Android, I'd like to see additional detail of my browsing history. Mainly a timestamp and length of time spent at each page. Currently, I can view these choices; Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days and Older. I can only assume these are listed chronologically in the order I visited each page. I'd like to know what time I arrived at the site and how long I was there, if at all possible.
