Firefox for Android Community Forum

Good morning and/or evening!

Within the last year, I upgraded my phone from iOS to Android, and decided to switch browsers from Safari to FireFox while I was at it. The mobile version of FireFox has served me very well so far, especially the collections feature!

I also like to use private tabs to save content I may not want to view until later. Unfortunately, due to FireFox automatically closing private tabs, I often lose my place and reading lists.

The option to Keep Private Tabs is available on the iOS version of Firefox, as shown on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-close-private-tabs-when-leaving-priv. Would it be possible to make this an option for Android users as well?

Thank you for your time and help!

Audio/Video frequently goes out of sync on streaming video. (local news channels). The video stream slowly gets delayed after about 10 minutes.

This ONLY happens with Firefox. I have edge at work. Works fine. Also tested on chrome. Works fine.

This happens on all of my PC's in the house, no matter what the OS or hardware level.

(2) Win 10 home (low spec) (2) Win 10 pro

Newest PC is win 11 pro i5h13400 32 GB Ram RTX 4060

The easiest fix would be to find a setting to delay the audio. We do this all the time for concert venues, but we split the streams as soon as we get them so we can process them independently. I shouldn't need to do this in my living room.

Is the a setting some where I can get to the audio timing? Or maybe an add-on?

Dont give me the link of the how to with a desktop/laptop/typerwriter i left that obsolete trash behind 10 years ago.

Im getting pretty annoyed at the lack of possiblities of importing bookmarks. There seem to be no available apps that deal with this and of course mozilla hasnt caught on that this is a common sense requirement of users 🙄

Someone tell me there is an option to import bookmarks that im missing please.

Fonts on Google show outlines where they're not supposed to. This is happening as shown in the attached picture in the word 'Firefox' and the word 'Change'.

Only extensions I am using are Dark Reader and uBlock Origin, both of which I uninstall completely to test without any difference.

Problem persists in both dark and light mode. And is not present in Google Chrome ot other applications.

This is on Android 14, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, One UI 6.1. Firefox 132.0 (Build #2016051567).

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.

Today all my Tabs on Firefox suddenly disappeared/ got closed. Usually they were saved and opened automatically. This worked well for years. Is there any technique to reconstruct them?

Is there a way to get a generated password when Firefox does not suggest one?

For sites where Firefox has saved credentials it is suggesting new passwords, but when I try to create an account on https://www.acehardware.com/user/login it is not suggesting a password in the password field. An alternative method would be helpful.

When expanding the comments in an arstechica.com article with Firefox settings/accessibility/automatic font sizing switched on, frequently the font used is very large. A page refresh usually fixes the problem and the font return to the expected size.

I have also seen the same problem at www.theguardian.com.

I do not see this problem if automatic font sizing switched off.

I've attached 2 screenshots. In the example with the larger font, I had scrolled to the bottom of the article and clicked on the comments button to open the comments, then took the screenshot. Then I refreshed the page and took another screenshot.

Is this a known problem?

I'm using a pixel 8. Firefox is my default browser. I noticed safe search was suddenly locked on my phone. I went to search to try and trouble shoorlt and Firefox was gone from my phone! I reinstalled it. The next day it was uninstalled again. My phone was also really glitchy and a few apps stopped working. I wouldn't uninstall Firefox as it's my go-to browser. My bookmarks came back but lost all my dlsabed passwords. Anyone have Firefox randomly uninstall itself?

When you have the 'Open links in apps' setting turned on, clicking a link will open the app but also open the link in browser as well. This is annoying because if I'm searching for something and switching back to the browser, I have to click back every time to go back to the search results.

- This is a problem on Firefox Beta for Android - I have a Pixel 8a - It works fine on standard Firefox for Android - It is not specific to one app - The open in app part works fine. It's just the browser shouldn't also go to the website at the same time.

The ' add home screen ' function not working. If i click on it than the the function is not working. It is not adding the webpage to home screen. Or sometimes this function is very useful to install the webpage in our mobile but its not working. Please fix this.
