I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Please allow us to choose per website whether it should always/never be opened in its respective app or if it should always be asked about.

Personally, I hate when websites like YouTube, Wikipedia or Reddit open in app without my permission, but I have a few payment cervices and a local government ID system that ALWAYS require a redirect through an app, so, at least to me, granular control of this feature - to always allow some, but not all websites - would be absolutely indispensable.

Edge for Android has had this feature for a long time, and, as far as I know, it is the only existing Android browser to do so. But I am not going to use Edge :( I am attaching two screenshots of how it's been implemented in Edge though.

Hi there,

I recently tried to customise the firefox icon on my phone (Android v14). The path: Firefox: Settings>Customise>Select App Icon

Unfortunately I have ended up with two duplicates of the firefox app icon (shown in image) that I cannot seem to remove. The only option shown is to uninstall which doesn't sound right

Is there any way to remove the duplicates or else revert back to the original icon?

Let me know if more info is needed.

Many thanks

When I tap a text box to type on some webpages, the page automatically zooms in, making me have to manually zoom out again. I understand why this might be helpful to some people, but I just find it frustrating. Is there a way to disable it? I don't see anything in the accessibility settings and I've tried making my font size bigger, but that didn't work.

The 148 version hides most of the options previously available from the menu option. Sometimes I can access the options through an option to "show more" Mostly the " show more " is not present. I then lose access to options I use a lot: print to pdf, translate etc etc I have tried both the expanded and simple toolbars. (The expanded reverts to simple every time I quit Firefox anyway).

How can I solve this? Is there a way to go back to the much better older menu version? So much quicker and cleaner.

Thanks

The text selection toolbar (often just called the text selection menu or contextual selection toolbar) is used throughout my Android/Samsung phone. It appears whenever you long-press text, a textbox, or URL bar, and shows actions like Paste, Copy, Select all, and sometimes Extract text depending on your keyboard/OEM.

In the lastest Android Firefox app update, the "Clipboard" option is no longer present in the app on the contextual selection toolbar.

This is a major inconvenience. I'm a longtime Firefox user and this missing feature is a huge inefficiency problem. This means I cannot easily use text copied or cut from elsewhere on my phone and easily access it without individually and tediously copying and pasting individual text content.

Please see the attached image and gifs showing contextual selection toolbars with and without the "clipboard" option.

For android tool bar there is a customized shortcut menu to use as e. G. new tab, translate etc... Can add extensions to this menu? It's annoying to keeping going to menu to activate extensions

A collection item on Android Firefox already has an X, so why allow deletion by swiping left or right? It is WAY TOO EASY to accidentally delete an item by nudging it left or right while clicking it. And there is no warning pop-up. How about an option to disable left/right swipe delete? Or just remove the gestures entirely. Thanks.

the stuff firefox on android did to the menu messes me up real bad, why do i have to add a button that i will never use and will always misclick because my hands dont work right? why on earth did you mess with everyones muscle memory, its genuinely making me break down and idk how to change it back without losing all my tabs, please help

I've noticed in browsing history that a lot of tabs are private. I don't use or want private browsing, can I disable it?

I'm not sure but I think that the private tabs were opened by Google Assistant and/or Gemini (if that makes a difference).

Hey guys, I'm here to report two questions,First, in Firefox Nightly Android version,I tried to close I tried to turn off the "Install and Run Research" button and reopen it to see if there will be any updates, but it deleted all my test features. Since nightly has a lot of my data on it, I didn't try to reinstall the app reproduction. In addition, there is a translation problem, I downloaded all the language packs to the local, and set "Always open translation" for them, but almost never took effect. And browser itself has a considerable power consumption....Hope to optimize some

Recently whenever I access a internet site, Firefox on my android always opens up in desktop mode. It used to always open up in mobile mode. I can't find a switch to set that. How can this be done?
