I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

As of this morning (7-5-25), the app Firefox and only the Firefox app turns my entire phone screen grayscale when it is open in the foreground. The color transition takes about a second, and if I tab to another app or the home screen it takes about a second to transition back to full color. I cannot find any active grey scale settings in either my phone or the app. I have downloaded no extensions to my knowledge.

I'm trying to link my accounts I don't know what to do I don't know how to do it I don't have my email or my phone number to my SSA account so I don't know what to do

Hello, someone in the Mozilla staff able to fix a certain behavior that occured when playing mixes in YT with as in my case, a Tab S8 Ultra, when light on screen is turned off and Computer mode is selected? I have for several years played mixes that is composed with many individual musik tracks that follow in a row. Tracks have been played automatically continually when a small charging of as for me, only about 4 watts. Without a charge this has not been possible. And that is of course ok, but now after UI 7.0 it's not behaving like earlier. I prefere this approach because i do not have a need to look at slides accompanying the musik, and only a slow charging as to little more than compensate for need of energy when streaming to external speakers. How to make this to continue automatically track after track? Other Android-units that have not got this updated behave as I prefer.

Thanks for support of many different small and larger issues! Asgeir F.

Here I use the QR code scan technique to allow login to firefox on Android phone It does not work if I have 2FA enabled

Already logged on to laptop firefox where I goto firefox.com/pair I hit I already have Firefox for mobile -> Continue laptop firefox now shows the QR code

On android I want to login to firefox so I goto Settings -> Sync and save your data I hit Ready to scan

On android it says Confirm paring On laptop firefox it says Enter security code

its not clear which I do first I have tried either next so pages should give guidance here

On android I hit Confirm pairing it says Approval now required

On laptop it says Enter security code so I launch my android authentication app and lookup firefox and enter code into laptop and hit Confirm Yes, approve device it says Device connected ... You are now synching with Firefox on Android

On android it says Unexpected error

Please fix ... above steps probably work if account does not have 2FA active however it fails for us who have enabled 2FA

Everything is just confusing. Do not understand what is being asked of me or how to respond. First I would like to only use my phone for access and interaction with my account. Right now my objective is to get my calendar Working and organized. I was trying to do an online class and wanting to sync my calendar and not able to understand what was being asked.

Hi, guys! I currently have two Collections of tabs. I accidentally swipe some tabs which ended up getting remove from my Collection. I checked the history but it is not there. There's no restore recently closed tab or something similar like that. My Firefox Nightly app is up to date. Also, I'm using Android (Samsung A55). Is there any chance that I can retrieve those tabs? If yes, how?

Thank you so much.

I have a problem with the sync function after one of the last Firefox updates - I think it was 133.x.

Firefox for Android now only offers the options sorted “in alphabetical order” or “newest/oldest” in the bookmarks display - for ALL folders and ALL bookmarks. The same now applies to adding bookmarks after a later update (138.x?).

I need the old mode or an additional mode “unsorted”, which provides the same (probably designed!) sort order of my desktop Firefox in Android Firefox after sync. After this unsuccessful update, I can no longer use the Firefox sync. I see that I am not the only one, many users also have this problem.

Can someone please help me with this problem? Will there be a correction or improvement or a cancellation of this extremely unfortunate change?

Best regards from Vienna

This behavior is beyond annoying. On the desktop version, it will install the update before the browser opens. It should work exactly the same way on all versions. Please get this fixed. I am very tired of being in the middle of browsing a couple of web pages, then the browser decides to close and update without warning.

I find it extremely annoying that on the Desktop all URLs I open are on the same tab unless I request otherwise but on Android all URLs I open from Home open in a new tab which can result in a huge number of tabs being open. When are the developers going to provide an option to open new URLs on the same Tab unless I request otherwise. On a device like a phone with limited memory this makes no sense, my wife often ends up with so many tabs open her phone crashes. I know there is a setting to close on exit but on Android that only works if you select exit which my wife often forgets so she ends up with 30 open tabs!

A facility to circumvent this is long overdue.

Hi there,

The past couple of months have seen a couple of updates to the Firefox browser, on both my Samsung tablet and phone. I have noticed that, as a result, the Firefox browser has become less stable than before. I have been using it for well over a decade without any problems. The primary website visited is ProFootballTalk, mostly the 'Rumor Mill' section of the website. The first page is fine. However, when I check additional pages, I begin to experience delays, followed by jumping around to the top or bottom of the new or previous page, and sometimes even going to older versions previously viewed.

Initially, I had thought that, maybe, it could be the website causing these problems. However, it was suggested to me to try a different browser. So I downloaded the 'DuckDuckGo' app, to check as a comparison. I have not been experiencing this issue with the new browser.

Why the hell your history always been such a mess for android. Why that stupid grouping and no dates. And why tf I have to enter the search again in it after each opened link. You have no idea how annoying it is to look for anything. Surreal you can't figure it out in all these years

I have two issues using Mozilla Firefox on both my Android phone and my PC. Running the browser on either device with or without extensions or any security like antivirus running gets the same results. The first issue is that blocking audio and video in site settings rarely works especially on news websites and always on msn.com the videos auto play every single time. This issue has been ongoing for a very long time and I have reported it repeatedly and looked at the Mozilla support pages never finding any results or mention for the problem. People like myself block auto play to help save data usage. The second isssue has to do with search settings and duckduckgo ai assitant. Everytime I close the browser, again on both Android and PC, the search settings reset so that duckduckgo ai assistant is active the next time I open the browser and all of the search settings under the settings button on a search page reset. The only way I could think of to prevent this from happening is to uncheck site settings in the list of options for deleting browser data amd deleteing browser data on quit. This has no effect at all. Firefox has become less and less functional over thw oast couple 9f years and it really feels like Mozilla has no longer any interest in the privacy of it's users or even running a browser who's features actually function. Most of these settings are hidden and they all falsely indicate that a users choice of settings are being respected. I trying to report these issues one last time but I really don't feel that any big company has any respect for their users any longer amd the experience is more than just frustrating it adds greatly to the impression of zero respect for a products users. A fix would do wonders to begin rebuilding the trust of users in pretty much every single product out there as none of them are interested in providing any real support any more. I used to train people to do tech support and these days it is simply non existent.
