Hello, My Firefox browser seems to be hanging up and not opening websites. This has never happened in my entire time with Firefox. It just began this week. I use it for the security that it always provides. Its ran fine until this week when the warnings came out about issues with Google. Is there a patch or any suggestions for a remedy? Thank you for such an awesome, secure browser!

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox or Google Calendar issue.

Please see the attached screenshots, in order.

The issue is accessibility of the Settings icon in the top-right portion of the screen when the system text size is increased from the default.

Obviously, there's a workaround available. Thanks in advance.

My firefox app has recently stopped showing any synced tabs from my desktop at all. I have had this issue happen before but usually it's just for a little while and fixes itself, or can be fixed by manually syncing both mobile and desktop simultaneously. But I have not been able to access my desktop tabs via my phone for almost a week now and it's getting extremely frustrating. I want to be able to leave my house and continue browsing without having to struggle for 10 minutes before leaving with ensuring the sync goes through. When i manually sync on the mobile app, the sync button keeps spinning forever, I have let it run for about 25 minutes straight with no results. I have force closed the app to no luck. I have also tried closing and leaving it alone for hours and trying again with no results. I have even restarted both my phone, and my computer. This was not happening to me a week ago and I have not changed any settings on either device since the change started. It is genuinely making me want to go back to chrome, which I haven't used in 2 years since making the switch.

I have a problem with the pop-up window "open in another app?" The options being cancel or open. When I press the open button it does nothing. I can press the cancel button - that works or I can long press the link that I'm trying to get and open it manually myself. This problem with the open button has been getting worse over the last few weeks. It has now got to the stage where it doesn't work at all. I have emptied the cache for Firefox but this hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Why is it that when I type in part of an url in firefox search, for example "surf" when I'm wanting to visit r/surf, firefox suggests threads I viewed a single time rather than r/surf that I view multiple times per day?

You can see in chrome it behaves more like you would expect.

Sometimes plain r/surfing will be there but most of the time not, it's just random threads I viewed a single time.

There doesn't seem to be any combination of search settings that makes it suggest more frequently viewed sites

To unlock Firefox for Android the same password is needed as to unlock my mobile phone. On my laptop I can use two different passwords. So, if someone finds out the password for my phone, they automatically have access to my Firefox passwords as well. That feels only half secure. How can I use two different passwords in Firefox for Windows , like on my laptop?

I use a TTS extention pretty much daily while I do other things so either I have it running in the background while I'm elsewhere on my phone or just away from my phone and it'll turn off the screen. Unless my phone is on charge it force closes the extention after about 3 minutes or so of being out of FF. The app and extention are both optimized so I'm not sure what else there is to do from my end.

I read the newspaper on 2 tablets and phone. All are Samsung. The phone is latest s25 and tablets S5e. All the apps are up to date along with the operating systems. Picking a story to read and scrolling through it I eventually go 'back' to main page front. On Firefox this doesn't happen. The button action takes 4-6 presses, then back to main page. This occurs on all 3 devices. I tried other news websites (ABC, CBS) to replicate problem, but *did not* have this issue. Not a big deal but I think you should know.

Hello. It's a known issue already, but i will share it once again.

When i switch to a different app and then come back to Firefox, the tabs always reload and any process or pending task is lost.

That's a huge problem because it's impossible to copy and paste codes from an authenticator, fill any text to a form or simply continue watching a paused video. The tab simply reload and you lose everything.

It's very annoying because it doesn't happen to any other browser. I'm a longterm user of Firefox for many years, but this is my only complain.

Dear developers, please do something to fix this issue.

Thank you !
