I can't figure out why Firefox Focus for Android is opening Amazon links by default. It isn't set as the default browser, as far as I can tell it doesn't have anything set to open by default. Usually I have the option to choose which browser to open a link with because I have multiple browsers installed.

I'm using a Galaxy s22 Ultra running Android 13. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I'm switching from SRWare Iron to Firefox Focus. I'm liking it, and I appreciate the danger of feature creep on an intentionally pared-down product. But, some features I do miss, in order of importance (to me):

  1. An option to open a new (blank) tab - I often want to search for more than one thing, and opening a link I don't want jtst to get a tab is a poor workaround
  2. The ability (either an option or by default) to stop sites from blocking pinch zoom - on a phone, sometimes small items are hard to tap accurately
  3. Gestures, nice to haves, but I'm accustomed to them:
   # Address bar swipe to switch tabs
   # Pull down to refresh

I think pretty much everything else I can live without, or actively prefer not to have!

In Firefox Focus for Android Version 110.1.0 Build#370591223 the option 'Add Shortcut' does not appear in the menu anymore. It was there prior to the update yesterday. I still have several shortcuts listed on the home page when Focus opens which I cannot remove, but that's a different issue.

Has this feature been removed from Firefox Focus for Android?

After using Firefox focus for a while on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra I will sometimes start seeing screen flickering which will affect the entire OS. Opening my keyboard and doing app switches will show tons of flickering as well but closing Firefox focus seems to make the issue go away.

Hi, I'm having a he'll of a time trying to figure out what version I should firefox version I should download & where for mobile without using google. The mozilla site keeps redirecting me to use Google version. & Google version won't let me use the YouTube addons to download. Basically I want a version that will use ALL the add-ons instead of the limited amount the mobile firefox offers & use a version like that of a desktop computer. A version that let's you use all add-ons available on desktop computer just the same on a mobile device. My device is a Samsung Note 10 if that helps

Hi there, Lately I've been experiencing this issue where the browser would stop opening any website, search, or redirect and would just remain in a non loading state. The only way I found to remedy this was to either reinstall or clear data from the device, however the problem shows up again later.

The device that I'm experiencing this issue on is; OnePlus 8T Model KB2000 Color OS 13.

Thank you.

Hey, just wanted to bring awareness to the popout video player being broken in FFfocus on android (on my samsung S21, anyway) as of the latest stable FFfocus update.

As i move the video box up my screen, the video shrinks down, and the box gets filled by a black border. By the time the video player is at the top of the screen, the whole box is pure black.

P.S. this is a throwaway email (sorry), so i wont be able to respond. I just wanted to give a heads up, and the google play rep, told me to make a post here.

Some other potential worthwhile info Android 12 Samsung OneUI version - doesnt seem to matter Web video player doesnt matter

Thanks for making the best web browsers for the past 20 years!
