Firefox til Android Community Forum

I own a Samsung Fold 5 phone. I have set the outer display used when the phone is folded to 300dp. The inner unfolded width is set to 601dp.

Up until very recently, when I folded or unfolded my phone, websites would resize. Often switching between layouts made for phones and layouts made for tablets or desktops. This still happens in Chrome. But no longer does in Firefox. Instead the site has the same resolution in both modes, making the text too small to read when folded. This effectively makes Firefox unusable unless I unfold my phone. Please make Firefox respect the resolution I have set for each mode again so I can view websites at a width of 300px in folded mode like I used to.

Note I have the slider for "desktop site" turned off. When I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The slider doesn't activate and the resolution does not change. (But the page does reload.) This used to give me the option of 3 different resolutions for my screen, (300 folded, 601 unfolded, and something like 1024 in desktop mode.) I'm not sure if desktop mode is permanently turned on now, or if the phone is set to permanently use 601 width, but it is definitely not using the 300 width I used to get when folded. The desktop mode slider is to the left and will not change.

I opened site settings and turned off always request desktop site and nohing changed. I am still unable to get the 300 width site I need to be able to use Firefox on a folded phone.

Hello. When I look up a word at a Merriam-Webster site like https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ or https://www.merriam-webster.com/ with the Android version of Firefox, it cannot play the pronunciation of the word correctly especially after it is played once. It is kind of divided in segments with abrupt stops. In other words it is not played smoothly.

This has been being continuing for a few months now, and updating Firefox has not improved. I think it is a bug, but I do not know how to report it. Does anyone know how?

I closed an account that I had gmail send all my information from. Now that I want to download it, I can't due to the fact that it wants me to log into the account that no longer exists. If I try signing in to another account to try to download it will not let me. This is a brand new phone and I can't open my bank app due to a message that keeps reading " page management" ,have installed and Uninstaller it. Been to bank, TMobile site and simply nothing works and now i can't recover my downloads from an account that was closed even though I downloaded them cause it keeps sending me the email address of the account that's closed and won't accept another account to open the download. Thank you. Sara M Roscher. [Email address]

I like Pocket, but the constant hassle of scrolling just the right amount to read the next segment is a hassle. My epub reader allows pagination by swiping left or right or tapping the left or right edge of the screen. Could such a thing be considered for Pocket?

I've been using Firefox on both my Linux PC and my Android phone for years. Yesterday when I pulled it up on the phone I was told it wouldn't work and needed an update. I checked for updates in the PlayStore and found nothing. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it. On the phone it has lost all history and password access. I took a copy of the history from the desktop site and copied the file to the phone, but can't find a way to get it to load.

I use the Ghostery addon on my laptop and it works great. On my tablet it doesn't work at all. Is it possible to simply use extensions in Firefox on my tablet? For some reason I installed the separate Ghostery app on the tablet, and it doesn't work. Will it work as an addon - does that work in Firefox on Android? The ads when streaming movies is so annoying. Please tell me how to block on tablet/Firefox.

hello

I had a smartphone, it died I bought a new one

I moved the SD card from the old to the new one, dear stupid Android 13 then 14 say: oh I'm sorry you have to format your SD card, lol

during the configuration of the new smartphone, I asked to restore data from the backup of the old smartphone: - some parameters has been restored - applications were reinstalled - for example osmand restart with all configurations made on my previous smartphone

but, when I run Firefox, even after login on firefox sync, I have ......... nothing: - no passwords - no bookmarks - no preferences

why?

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?

I would like to block the adlmail.org domain. Constantly getting scam emails and spam from just about all vendors I have dealt with. I know this because I click on who it is from and it is almost always from neweesyork@adlmail.org I receive 20 or 30 emails a day from this email address but you can only see that address if you click on the from address. Most of the time it is something I have won or some special deal for free stuff. It almost acts like a virus and takes over my email. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
