Hi all.

This happened yesterday 220610 on an Android 9 Nokia 8 using duckduckgo search in the Firefox Android browser.

Short two and three word 'News headlines' showing in address bar on a blank page. The words would fade in to view and disappear every two or three seconds.

It stopped after a few minutes and has not done it since. Has this happened to anyone else or is it just a function I am unaware of? Cheers

I am running Firefox and Duckduckgo on a Samsung Tab A (8.0), model SM-T387V.

Just within the last few weeks there have been blank (white) bars covering part of the search results. This also sometimes appears on a web page.

Screenshot attached.

If I use DuckDuckGo on Chrome it works fine.

What is the problem and how can I fix it? I can't find any support/help on the DuckDuckGo website.

Edit: When I use FireFox with a different search engine it does the same thing. If I use the Chrome browser with DuckDuckgo it works fine.

Sometimes, Firefox 114.2.0 for Android suddenly stops rendering pages or loading new pages.

  • Try to search: instantly stops loading, completely white tab, address bar content changes to search
  • Try to enter an address directly: doesn’t load, completely white tab, address bar contents stay the same
  • Force quitting and reloading doesn’t change anything
  • Clearing cache doesn’t change anything
  • Clearing data fixes the problem, at the cost of losing all home-screen customization, extensions, and search engine customization, which aren’t synced with the Firefox account

Samsung Galaxy S9 plus.

I mistakenly uninstalled Firefox, then reboored and reinstalled it. How do I recover my saved passwords?

I tried going to the Data folder, but there is only 1 folder there, "export messages", for an app that lets me print out or save existing text messages .

Help!!

Actually I'm using firefox from so long and I love to use firefox and I feel safe using firefox because it is open source and firefox first priority is privacy but from few weeks I'm observing that duckduckgo app tracking blocks so many tracking attempts from firefox. It's kind of weird. When ever I open firefox, duckduckgo start blocking so many tracking attempts from firefox and as a proof I take screenshots as well. I'm attaching screenshots with this message. Still I love using firefox but also this scared me. Hope I'll get a better explanation.

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.

Why won't web pages show in dark mode and are still white. So far the only browser I have seen that will also darken a web page is the standard Samsung browser. Love Firefox on my computer but on a tablet the darkening of web pages from the bright white is crucial. How can this be fixed?

I recently bought a new phone. I have a total of three. The first two are semi-retired. They have aging operating systems and are no longer updatable. But I use them as wireless extension devices. About two hours ago, I installed and attempted to access Firefox search engine. I didn't remember the password. So I created a new one. That was successful. But then I had to enter a verification code. I did so and now there is a significant delay. This is in my new phone. Operating on Android 13. I'm accessing Firefox on one of my retired phones which are linked via WiFi to my new phone.

So, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?????

I have a total of three devices, all with Firefox. Only one device has a sim card that is registered and subscribed.
