Firefox Androidile Community Forum

I need to know how to recover all my tabs after closing them accidentally. I dropped my phone when trying to access tabs settings to disable the "inactive section" (that I had not enabled, I don't know why that thing was done without my consent), and accidentally hit "close all tabs". I see that, as of last year, there was no way to do it, but maybe after all the questions about this they added something. Recently closed tabs still shows the last that I closed manually

Greetings, I installed the Layup Android app in July 2024 then a few weeks later, certain websites have been automatically opening in the default Firefox browser Android app. Here are some examples: 1. GIRLS - Play GIRLS Games at Games.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour&t=BrAr13rruLXgzjC2Mukl3YAWJB0Wrlzxm2g2baIXND2lpbdvmZqzbkDgIqe-4d5ddaHImn52FjbSuzOwuV90jb1r51VR84SlCkByBx6C6bfeWPY_Ca-u2X_WISE7gw3Oe-5wLWrtOkg6dedyMegY0vA-lgQW219QEFCVewKBXx7MeqD7yL6jM4-M0VX6zon2wPoDyyyxa0rJczvf 2. h5.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour 3. 3D - Play 3D Games at Webgame.budgyinfo.com - https://webgame.budgyinfo.com/games?type=3D

I have since uninstalled the Layup app and deleted the browser data, but these sites are still opening in the browser even when my cell is idle. Please advise how to block these domains or another remedy. Greatly appreciated

Common Myths about Private Browsing Firefox Last updated: 1/22/24 87% of users voted this helpful

Private Browsing is a useful feature of Firefox, but only if you understand the protection it offers. It helps you keep your online activity private from others who use Firefox on the same computer, but it won't make you invisible online. Myth 1: Private Browsing makes you anonymous on the Internet

Reality: Private Browsing does not mask your identity or activity online. Websites and internet service providers can still gather information about your visit, even if you are not signed in. If you use your device at work, your company may be able to monitor the websites you visit. If you surf the Web at home, your cable company (or their partners) may have access to your browsing information. Only a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can mask your location and encrypt your online activity, keeping your identity and data safe from prying eyes. If you need to stay anonymous online, try Mozilla VPN. Myth 2: Private Browsing removes all traces of your browsing activity from your computer

Reality: Private Browsing works by letting you browse without saving passwords, cookies and browsing history in a Private Window. If you download a file from a website, it will remain on your computer, but it will not appear in the download manager in Firefox. If you bookmark a website while in a Private Window, it will remain in your bookmark list. Myth 3: Private Browsing doesn’t display any browsing history

Reality: Private Browsing will, by default, display visited sites and bookmarks as you type in the address bar. Firefox saves these pages during normal browsing. If you don’t want to see these suggestions, you can deselect them in your Firefox Settings Privacy & Security panel under Address Bar.

Myth 4: Private Browsing will protect you from keystroke loggers and spyware

Reality: Private Browsing does not protect you from malware installed on your computer. If you suspect you have malware, take steps to remove it to prevent it from happening again.

I just installed Android V 8.1 and the anti-spam function isn't working. Spam mail is not being automatically filtered as it is supposed to do, and does on the desktop version. In addition the junk/spam mail settings that are supposed to be in the Accounts area are not there and the Swipe to Spam function also doesn't work nor does the "long press" to get to the spam marking option.

Any estimate as to when this functionality will be brought online?

Mcfee was downloaded along Adobe reader. When I try to uninstall all I get is a partial box. I can see partial boxes in the bottom that I can't get at. Really the only thing I can fully read is to minimize or to exit with X. It doesn't do anything after this point. How can I get it off my drive?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm having trouble accessing Aniwatch on Mozilla Firefox. Every time I try to open the site, it either doesn't load properly or gives me an error. I've already tried clearing my browser cache and cookies, updating Firefox to the latest version, and even disabling my ad blocker, but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Aniwatch works fine on other browsers, but Firefox is my main one, so I'd love to get this resolved. Appreciate any help! 🙏

Thanks in advance! 😊

I am on Version 133.0 Android Firefox. Whether I use Bing or Google search the results are in a small font with an additional column on the RH side. I noticed that if I turn off Desktop Site then it goes back to normal. But any subsequent searches are again in small font even though Desktop Site is now switched off. I have failed to find a resolution in the Settings. I have tried re-installing but to no avail. Advice appreciated.

For some reason, every time I log in to Gmail and start writing a name in the email column, just after writing 2 characters, Firefox immediately freezes. I've reinstalled, I've cleared all data (browsing history, cookies and cache), I've reset, but the problem still exists. But if I log in with another account, Gmail can be accessed smoothly.

I can't figure out how to open an url like "http://fritz.box" or "192.168.178.10.1". Either Firefox starts a search or auto completes the address to "https://fritz.box". This address can not be resolved locally. If anyone happens to read this and could help me please, I just want to open the configuration page of my router. And I can't do it with Firefox for Android - so it seems. Thank you for your time!

I've been using Firefox for Android on multiple devices for many years now. I have poor eye sight and I end up zooming in on pages a lot, but when I do that the text doesn't auto-fit to the page so I end up having to scroll side to side as well as up and down constantly and it makes reading web pages a very frustrating chore. how do I get the text to auto-adjust to the new zoom level so it fits on the screen?

Guten Tag,

Wenn ich mein Smartphone firefox acc. mit meinem PC Browser Firefox synchronisieren möchte. Erscheint auf meinem Smartphone immer die Homepage von euch, die mir mitteilt das etwas schiefgelaufen ist.

Wie können wir mein kleines Synchronisierungs Problem wieder gerade biegen ?
