Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have updated version of firefox. After updating firefox then i installed adguard extension but extension is not working. The adds is showing in browser. could you fix this? I have only use firefox because it has adblocker extension but any other app is not come with this adblocker.

I was looking for the settings button on the Firefox Android app but cannot find it in its usual place in the meatball menu in the bottom right (I have the search/tabs bar set at the bottom of the screen). Please see attached screenshot. Could you please let me know where the settings button has been moved to? I can't find it by myself, and as this seems to be a relatively recent change I can't find anything online/in the FAQ about where it might have gone. Thank you! :)

Please help me to get into Pocket. At the beginning it says i must update before AUg.15th. Mabe something like that is shutting it down. ? Not sure if anyone knows what I am doing wrong!

Favicons for shortcuts added to the startpage do not persist. In other words, when I add a shortcut to the startpage, the shortcut initially displays the expected favicon for the respective site. However, when I leave the startpage and then come back, the shortcut favicons are no longer displayed. Instead, the shortcut is simply a colored box containing the first letter in the name of the website. I have already tried the prosaic troubleshooting meaure of deleting the app cache (to no avail), and I am using the most up-to-date version of Firefox on Android. Any other ideas, or is this a bug?

Hi,

I'm looking for a trick to prevent Firefox mobile to force screen orientation to landscape mode when playing a video in fullscreen mode.

This is an old complaint (see this 2018 bug) but at the time there was a key in about:config to change the behavior ("media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation").

Since "media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation" is now useless (according to this bug) I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance if you have any.

Why does Firefox purposely choose to alienate their Android users by not allowing them to choose their own home screen. The Firefox web browser on Windows does.

As much as I distrust Google as a company and avoid using their products (as much as convenietly possible), I am very comfortable using their search engine and comfortable seeing a Google homepage with the Google search bar.

Firefox doesn't even give me the courtesy to: 1) know or understand which search engine I am using when I am on the "forced" Firefox homepage, or 2) set my own homepage. Therefore, I have to ensure the cursor is in the "search/web address" bar, start typing "google", and hit enter in order to get to the familiar Google homepage of which I am comfortable. I hate that Firefox forces me to do that!

Otherwise, I like using the Firefox browser as an alternative to Google. Nonetheless, it's your company and you can do what you like, but as soon as I come across an alternative browser that allows me to adjust it's settings to my preferences, it's adios MFr's to Firefox.

FYI, I would LOVE to meet the decision maker at Mozilla that OK'd this change and listen to him/her/they hem, haw and double-speak through their ridiculous justification. Another thing, while I'm at it.... Exactly, when did it become a better idea for companies (challenging the industry leader) to alienate their users?

Hello, I am trying to lock uBlock as enabled in nightly. Is there a method to do this in about:config? Or some other method to lock this as enabled or keep it from being disabled?

Thanks,

I recently downloaded Firefox on my android and at first there was a purple background that has switched to grey after a few days without me changing it. The theme still can be displayed in private mode but not in regular search.

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing the Adguard add-on.

I have installed Firefox on my Android phone. I want to add the Adguard add-on to my Firefox browser so I can block YouTube adds.

I have no idea what I'm doing. It's really confusing and frustrating.

Can you please help?

Best wishes, Andrea

The subject field basically. There is a button in the address field on some sites and it's very annoying to accidentally press the toggle now and again. I tried disabling it via about:config but no dice.

For the past week or so (Firefox app was last updated around 1st September I believe), my Sony XZ2 phone has restarted itself after saving a picture off the Internet. The new update today didn't fix it. The phone screen goes blank, then the background reappears with the app icons and it reconnects to the internet again. Just like pressing the restart button but much quicker. I've tried other Internet browser apps with saving the same picture and not had it happen. Not sure if it's just a coincidence that the problem has coincided with the last update though.

I am trying to set the home page on my Samsung S21 with android v13 and firefox v117. I cannot find any means for setting the home page. The customize homepage in the top (3 button) menu has no option for setting a different home page.

The homepage option under settings gives you exactly the same options as above.

The customize option under settings applies only to the theme and has no options for managing the home page.

Unfortunately every version of firefox is different and all the instructions I have found apply to different versions of firefox than the one I am using.

Why does the desktop settings keep changing to mobile. This option should not be allowed to be changed by website developers when they identify your browser as a mobile device. I find mobile view is inferior to desktop view and usually has less information that is on the desktop deals I never use it and I'm constantly having to change it back to desktop view when visiting other pages.

I suggest that fire food / Mozilla make the settings option for desktop a user option that is not changeable by websites.
