I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

It started with Amazon/Kindle. Couldn't buy books through the Amazon App so I had a workaround which put me into the full site amazon.co.uk. Not anymore. Firefox redirects me into the App regardless. I can only get into the full site now by uninstalling Amazon Shopping. That's silly. Now, Firefox is blocking legitimate site links from my emails, like Greenpeace, for example. Variations on "site blocked" messages. Switching to DuckDuckGo avoids all these issues. I've been with Firefox for decades and would rather stick with you - I have two VPN accounts (and 12 machines) with you as well. Jon Lisle-Summers, [email address]

How do you stop auto refresh while on Facebook website? I'm using Firefox for Android and I access my SocMed accounts via websites no resource giving app. With that said I guess FB has page refresh enforced into the it's HTML and it's very annoying. I've set my PC browser to block auto refresh but can't find a solution for Android.

Whilst viewing news stories in Google, I keep getting pages that do not load, so I go to settings – apps- Firefox, scroll down to memory and clear the cache. I go bag to Google new click the link and most of the time I am taken to the page and can read the article (but not every time). But the page not loading happens frequently and it is becoming a pain having to clear the cache over and over again. Is there a shortcut I can use to reach Firefox memory or is there a way of stopping Firefox to clear the cache as it is created.

I am writing to report an issue with the page frequently auto-refreshing. This feature causes a significant disruption, especially when I am in the middle of entering information into data fields, such as forms, passwords, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Every time the page automatically refreshes, all the data I have input is lost, forcing me to restart the process from the very beginning. This happens repeatedly and is extremely frustrating.

I request that this auto-refresh functionality be disabled. It would be much better if the refresh action could only be initiated manually by the user. This would ensure that data being entered remains intact without interruptions that cause the process to restart.

Subject: Issue Report: Automatic Page Refresh Causes Data Loss in Formsbold text

Problem Description: The page/screen automatically and continuously refreshes on its own without user command.

Impact of the Issue: This automatic refresh is highly disruptive because:

1. It erases all data currently being entered into forms (e.g., user details, passwords, OTPs).

2. It forces the user to repeatedly restart the data entry process from scratch.

3. It significantly hinders and slows down the completion of any task on the page.

Suggested Solution: Please disable the automatic refresh feature. The refresh action should be user-initiated only (e.g., via a manual refresh button or a "pull-to-refresh" gesture) to prevent data loss during input. Thank you.

I don't know from which version of FF it started exactly, but recently loading of websites starts after huge pause or fails at all, the same is with elements of web pages if those are located on different domain. This is only FF problem, other browsers load pages instantly. I have tried to delete cache, data and FF completely and reinstall anew, it doesn't help. I can only guess what causes it, probably some DNS connection issues.

On Facebook, or other websites that have a text enter box that appears on the bottom, my keypad covers it and I need to scroll up to see what I've typed in and it Zooms back up to cover the text box as soon as I input a key. Whats going on?

Every time I have a slow download speed that causes failure after interruption, I have to open the system's own browser, but the system's built-in browser is dozens of times the download speed, and there has never been a failure. The web page opening speed I have tested with the same search engine Bing search shows that the system only takes 3 seconds. Although the mobile version of Firefox also opens in seconds, it takes six seconds. I like Firefox very much, but it would be better if the mobile version could be improved.

When playing back audio via Bluetooth it cuts out and pops every few seconds. This is not a Bluetooth or network issue I have tested that. Firefox app version 138.0.4 Android version 15 on pixel 8
