When I make a screenshot in private browsing the picture is black. With my former android there was no problem. Now I have a fairphone 6 and I can no longer make the screenshots in private browsing. Is there a solution fot this problem or do I need to switch to normal browsing whenever I want to make a screenshot?

I am not sure if this is a setting / UI issue in Firefox for Android or if it is a UI thing for Android in general.

I am using an Acer tablet with Firefox for Android. Before, I would use the three vertical dots icon to get the menu to display on the right of the screen (for example, when I need to search for text or look through the browser history). Now it is suddenly appearing in the middle of the screen instead and I can't work out how to put it back. I tried dragging it to the side, and double tapping on it, and looking through the settings. I searched online, but all I got was stuff about moving the address bar to the top/bottom or tips on menu design.

I rely on Firefox's auto-fill functionality, so turning it off is not an option for me. Frequently, on secure sites where I am registering or making a purchase, and after I have already filled the form data saved, the fill form banner at the bottom of page remains, blocking the form 'Submit', 'Continue', 'Next', etc. It doesn't happen all the time, so assume this has to do with how the form-fill control interacts with page coding. Is there a workaround for this that does not involve turning auto-fill off?

Hello. I have a problem with Firefox (fresh install without extensions), which opens links from an external application (In my case Pepper for the discounts of online shopping) with an additional tab.

Preview in the attachment. Two cards open instead of one. The first tab is additional and empty, the second tab is a valid link.

Is there any way to disable this with the help of flags?

This does not happen in either Edge or Brave

I'm using Firefox on my Android phone (model: Samsung Galaxy, Android version 14), and whenever I watch YouTube videos, the playback is choppy and lags every few seconds, even on stable Wi-Fi. This happens on both embedded videos and directly on youtube.com. I've tried clearing cache, updating the app to the latest version, and disabling extensions, but it persists. Videos play smoothly on Chrome. Any fixes?

Occasionally (it already happened three times today) when i'm browsing and switching between tabs, one tab will become an image of its contents (as in - no links work, can't scroll vertically or horizontally) and the others become grey. Trying to reload the pages or open new ones doesn't work, they never load. Turning the browser off by going to the phone's home menu and closing Firefox in the recent applications view doesn't solve the problem, it only closes any private tabs but the issue persists when opening any new tab or preexisting ones. The only way to fix the problem is by force stopping the app. I've cleared the cache, it didn't solve the problem, and reinstalling seemed to work for a few days but now the problem is back. For reference, my add-ons/extensions are: Ghostery, NoScript and UBlock Origin.

I downloaded Firefox on my android because I wanted to use Character.AI the same way with the Chatbot Manager extension just as I could do on my PC, the C.AI website works, but all the site elements are not sized/positioned as they are supposed to, as I have seen on chrome. Please try to fix it as soon as possible.


And also, could you confirm if my Chatbot Manager which operates as another page in my browser control C.AI which is another separate page? If not, please try to implement that too.

This is a problem with Firefox for Android security policies. Because everything works as expected

  • in Firefox Desktop Linux
  • Chrome for Android
  • pasting text instead of an image in Firefox for Android.

I'm trying to paste images in my own web app, in my own Android phone.

  • I get the "onpaste" event and clipboardData field as described in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/paste_event.
  • HOWEVER ONLY in Firefox for Android, and only when I paste an image, both the "items" and "files" lists in the clipboardData field are empty, with length=0.
  • The app is served from an httpS site with a certificate Firefox for Android recognizes as valid.

I didn't find any way to enable clipboard access from the Settings UI for my own site.

It would be sad if Firefox ends up pushing users to Chrome because building our own apps gets more difficult in Firefox than Google's walled garden :'(

I truly enjoy using Firefox for mobile and I am trying to make it by default browser but I have such a horrible time with the pitch to zoo. I am visually impaired so the pins to zoom is a must-have for me, there are so many sites that I use this and the page jumps and never stays in place especially on YouTube. I feel that I have adjusted all the settings recommended to me inside Firefox in addition to changing configurations like the AKA settings to false or to true which I always I don't want to have to go back to Chrome so is there anything you can recommend or do for me all help is truly appreciated thank yourecommended but nothing has seen to help. Even as I type this up I lost my place and pinch to zoom to find it and the page jumped to the top several times any help to resolve this would be so much appreciated thank you very much. One last thing I do keep everything in desktop mode because it's easier for me to see not sure if that matters.

Firefox "DECIDED" to translate my pages into Spanish. And it won't stop. No simple way to select IF, and WHEN, the user wants translation. Without a simple user controlled solution, the user CAN DELETE FIREFOX.

Why? Because I once went to the Costco site in Merida, Mexico to purchase a gift ????

Is this another nail in the Firefox coffin....upgrades that remove useful tools.....endless "tech" options poorly explained for the non tech head user....language changes not requested by the user, triggered in a highly thoughtless and foolish way that cannot be easily removed? Perhaps some Mozilla tech staff are secretly "employed" to promote other browser???
