Firefox fún Android Community Forum

My Firefox mobile tabs have stopped updating. Every time I close and reopen the app, it gets stuck on an old session. It’s supposed to save my open tabs and return to where I left off, but now, when I reopen Firefox, it reverts to the tabs from two days ago and no longer updates.

I currently have around 1,025 tabs open (I read a lot of Chinese online web novels). Bookmarks and history are still updating properly(when i click on history it still show the website i visited recently). The thumbnails in the tab list also display the correct version (the one I last used), but when I click on a tab, it reloads and goes back to the version from two days ago. i try to backup date on phone using firefox-android-backup-restore on github and saved as tar.gz . i can share that here if needed. what i could do to fix it except deleting firefox data. i don't want to lose all my opening tabs.

After a web search via the top toolbar, when the keyboard is minimized the area behind the keyboard is not rendered. At this point, if I open the menu and bookmark the page, the "Saved in Bookmarks" message pops up at the bottom of the page, and then the area behind the keyboard is rendered. After that, the keyboard and the area behind it works fine, when the keyboard shows and hides. If I open a new tab and do a web search there, the same thing happens ie no render behind keyboard. If I go back to the previous tab, it also re-acquires the problem.

If I touch and hold (for the copy-paste context menu) when the problem occurs, the un-rendered area renders instantly.

If, when the keyboard is visible, I press and hold for the context menu and choose "select all" and then minimize the keyboard, the area is not rendered. If at that point I tap anywhere to clear the selection, the selection clears and the keyboard reappears. If I then minimize the keyboard, the area behind it is rendered correctly.

That doesn't happen with other browsers. It happens with default and other keyboards. I've been using Firefox since I got the phone (Samsung S9+) and this just started happening a week ago. I am on android 10.

This is probably device, UI and Android version specific. Just throwing it there in case someone gets an idea. Thanks

Issue 1 faced on both desktop and mobile: If I go from one site to another, the previous site is able to embed tracker in it. Example: 1) Go to territorial.io . 2) through the ublock origin extension, see that there are no trackers or connection to third party. 3) now go to reddit.com . 4) In url type territorial.io and press enter. now check ublock and notice that reddit tracker is there. 5) Most concerning is that even search engine does that. for example go to duckduckgo and type territorial. click on the link and the duckduckgo tracker will be there. The "privacy respecting" search engine embeds its tracker to a shit ton of websites clicked through it. Not an expert but doesn't this violate something like same origin policy?

Issue 2 faced at least on mobile: private browsing means all cookie and stuff is deleted when the private session is closed, but: for example: 1) go to private mode. 2) go to monkeytype.com. 3) reject or accept the cookie. 4) close the browser. now it should be wiped but 5) open browser (private tab opens by default) 6) go to monkeytype.com again. a lot of times it will not ask for the cookie banner. 7) close the browser and go there again. 8) now it will ask again. I have noticed similar behavior in a lot of websites, where they remember who I am. But as soon as I open the browser and close it once, the cookie/session is truly wiped. This does not happen every time, but a loooot of time.

Thank you.

P.S. why the hell is this website using googletagmanager and sentry??? use something like https://plausible.io/ if you have to. sentry themselves use https://plausible.io/

When I try to use Publisher's Clearing House games on an ACER Chromebook 315 the screen locks up at "please rotate your device" it is a laptop so of course I am not going to rotate it!!

The new menu doesn't contain at least two very requently used actions:

- reload the page - go forward

There is no way to disable the new menu and revert the old behavior.

Just wondering why Firefox on Android does not allow default desktop view of things such as Google Drive and to open Google docs in browser? I need the full Google Docs in the browser as the Docs app does not have all the things I need, such as equation editor. I have the Samsung Tab S10 Ultra so I know it is capable of doing this, I do it in Chrome on this tablet all the time, but would love to move over to Firefox, but can't because of this. Even the Samsung Internet app will allow this. Seems like Firefox really has not supported larger screen and more powerful Android devices properly.
