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!

I just changed phones and providers. The provider transferred all data to the new phone, but Firefox and Firefox Focus did not transfer, and had to be reinstalled. I stored my passwords on Firefox and can't access them on my new phone. It keeps telling me to log in on my computer, but the only computer that was synced was lost or stlen a year ago while I was hospitalised for major surgery. I reported this to Mozilla at that time. I just need to access my passwords on my new phone. HELP!

Im attempting to verify ID.me. I followed instructions from ID.me, which sent a text to my phone, I took pictures of my Drivers License, but im having a problem with sending the pictures to this laptop.' Can anyone explain or walk me thru this process?

This thing is driving me nuts,I started watching a video and it would start over and over,then it's comes up your time is timed out,I need to finish this this weekend, please fix the problem.

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

Hi! I recently upgraded from my S22 Ultra that had zero problems with connectivity to a Pixel 9 and so far it's been great except for one issue - I can't log into some websites with Firefox

Giffgaff for example asks for human verification every time I load the site and when I try to log in it says there was a connection issue. This doesn't happen on Opera GX or Chrome, but I've compared the settings on Firefox on my S22 to my pixel and they're identical. The issue only happens on my pixel 9.

I've tried common fixes provided by Google searches but nothing has yet worked. I've also disabled all add-ons and reinstalled the app. I REALLY don't want to change browsers for this and hope that someone here has a fix!

App version: 132.0 Usual Add-ons: Ublock Origin, Dark Reader, Google Search Fixer

Ever since I had my volla phone with android 10 OS the fennec browser keeps shutting down in the middle of browsing. It happens to any page at any time whether in normal or private browsing. The times seem to vary from 10 mins to 1 hour of browsing, usually not much more. The version of fennec is 91.2.0 (build#912120) My volla phone is volla phone x serial no. GX290PRO0015214 build no. QQ3A.200805.001 Regardless of age or updating it has always done it and ideally it should not. The fix should ideally be more than just have you tried upgrading versions, unless its a known bug and a fix is available. Thanks in anticipation.

Translation extension on firefox doesn't have an option for translating Chinese. I downloaded all the available languages and Chinese was not among them however I have found in the past that Chinese is the language which I most often come across sites,web pages, apps,etc written in and needing translated into English.

Firefox beta usually works OK but random webpages either take ages to load or even hang indefinitely. Most of the responses I've seen on this subject simply ask for more info re websites, extensions etc but other browsers don't have these problems, so it looks like a core Firefox thing.

Usually happens with youtube embed links, not sure if it happens with other(non-embed/other website) links, but it will ask me to open with app or in browser, and can't be cancelled with back button, only home button. when I press home button and reopen the app the embed will disappear in the page
