I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I recently, had a drop down to trigger installed extensions. I can no longer find it in the settings window. I now have a single extensions button in the settings panel. As I was entering this question, the original panel suddenly returned. See screenshots. I cannot duplicate this panel on my second device, and I only have the compressed settings window, which does not have the forward, back, share buttons at the top, and only has a single extensions button. Thanks!

Is there anything that could be done to make the white page that shows as a page loads be black? Or is that a site host's decision? It's very jarring when I have dark mode set but as a page that itself is set to dark mode begins its loading with a full page of white sometimes. (Usually when clicking a link that opens in a new tab.)

I would like to ask why you still have to enforce the ADguard ban after you have withdrawn from the China branch. Your competitor, the Edge, can be used for advertising. Why is the ban still not lifted?

Very recently upgraded Firefox for Android from 147.0.4 to 148.0.1; I knew a bit about upcoming changes of menu system (but we also got fancy rounded corners ...).

But this is in part utter rubbish.

I know it has been possible to move the address field from top to bottom, and that that might work better with the new menu, but even if closer to fingers holding the phone it will anyhow be so low and in a corner that you can't reach it without risk dropping the mobile. And this, the new menu, isn't even my main issue. With the menu at the top, and the old menu system, you at least continued to work in the same area, once you had opened the menu.

The amount of "clicks" is pretty much the same, though; 2 for bookmarks (if you don't simply type part of the address), pretty much the same for add-ons (several use white-listing for scripts, such as NoScript, and often have to adjust these, so those settings are quite frequently used).

But, the main issue is something related to "gestures", swiping down a web page seems to invoke some add-on setting, in my case NoScript. That is, strict vertical swipes works most of the time as before (and "most of" is pretty much a disaster), if I swipe slightly diagonal (exaggerated in image), I get an icon for NoScript (scripts not enabled for page in example), and the further I swipe the bigger the icon. It goes away if I lift finger, but if I move into the icon, it can invoke NoScript's settings.

Is this the intended behaviour? And above all, scrolling down should work 100 % of the time.

Hi,

I am trying to make the jump away from Chrome to Firefox across all the platforms I use. I am a long term user of NordPass for password management and I love the Firefox/Nordpass extension in Windows 11. Firefox for Android, while not as slick as Edge or Chrome on this platform, I have been recently using it as my default browser. However, I could not find the Nordpass extension for Firfox Android.

A quick search took me here: Cannot find Nordpass to download as addon it was asked 3 years ago with "This add-on is currently unavailable in Firefox for Android but may be included in a future update."

Are there plans yet to implement a NordPass extension for the Android platform?

Thanks

Very difficult browser to use on Android Note 20. I'm on my third day of trying to block Facebook ads on my Note20 Android phone using Firefox browser and UBlock extension. So far, no matter the UBlock settings, the Facebook page icons are grayed out rectangles and I cannot distinguish what is going on.

Vietnamese automatic translation is not available, so it should be added soon; we hope for its development." Google's extension is available, but I cannot add a Web3 wallet to Firefox like in the Mises and Chrome browsers; we hope for its development."

It's possible that I misread the documentation, but I looked for a response to this question for 20 minutes, and I couldn't find a 100% clear answer about my question when it comes to Firefox for Android.

Say I install an extension on Firefox for Android, that requires permission just for a specific website (e.g. let's say, for example, it's an add-on for blocking automated translations on youtube, with permission scope restricted to youtube only). Later, the extension automatically updates itself (as apparently, it's not possible to disable automated updates for extensions on Firefox for Android). The update now includes a larger permission scope, for example permissions for some other websites, or even the permission to "Access your data for all websites".

My questions are:

Is this scenario possible? If so, will I be notified of the changes in permission scope? Would I be able to block the update in this case?

Thank you.
