Firefox Androidile Community Forum

Can this be done? I am old and confused. I'm not sure this is possible. When I use me samsung tablet with firefox all the shortcuts are there. They no longer show up on my mac desktop. Is it possible to get online help to manage this?

Hello! After updating Firefox Nightly on Android, I found out that it separated toolbar and an address bar, and it's impossible to move toolbar back to the address bar. So now it's at the bottom of the screen regardless of preferences. I looked into the options and haven't found any way to put the toolbar back on the top of the screen. I can only move the address bar around. So now it's all very inconvenient. Maybe I am missing something?

hello.i recently formatted my phone.and now i re installed firefox and logged in toy account.but there is no data in my browser such as passwords and bookmarks and any thing.please help me.what happened to my data?.thnx

I can't find a way to move the navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen, where they shouldn't be, to the top of the screen. Tab selection should go back to the top, too. Am I just missing something? Can I do something in about:config?

Imagine always having access to navigation buttons at the top of the screen. You even downloaded an app that put system UI buttons at the top of the screen, too! It agrees with your rapidly aging joints because it's easier to have your hands closer to their default orientation.

Look at your hand right now. What orientation is it in? Did you look at the side of your pointer finger and your thumb? No. You likely looked at your palm. Furthermore, many blind people who use phones will type with accessibility features that often result in their hands being in the default orientation. The screens will be facing away and they'll use 6 or 8 fingers on the touchscreen to type.

Having navigation buttons at the top of the screen can be more accessible to some people because it is more compatible with the default orientation of the human hand. (Also disappointed that I can no longer put Gboard most of the way up the screen. But that's a problem that won't get fixed because Google is too big to have useful support and dev teams)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. The support website dumped me here.

Ummm don't forget to uhh [generic advice here] because it's good for stuff and things :)

Hello,

I changed on my desktop system from classic Firefox (Rapid channel) to the Firefox ESR-version. And now I search a firefox ESR-version for my Android-smartphone.

--> Does also an ESR-version exist for Andoird like for desktop systems?

Thanks a lot for a short reply! Best regards, Martin

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20FE5G and use the Firefox browser with Google search. While browsing on Firefox, I clicked on a website in my search and a flashing pop up appeared saying the phone has been infected with a virus and to "click here." Obviously I did not click on the pop up since I suspected this was a scam for infection in itself. So I immediately closed all windows/tabs and then turned off my phone. I restarted my phone in safe mode and made sure all the apps were those factory installed or those I installed. I turned it on again to run a scan as suggested by Samsung but found out that the installed Samsung "Device Care" did NOT have a scan function for viruses. I checked Firefox to see if there was a message or warning and saw none. Then I turned my phone off again.

3 BIG Questions: 1. What should I do? 2. Should I be concerned? 3. Should I change all my passwords? If so, then the problem is I need to use my phone for 2 factor ID and I would need to turn it on again in normal mode.

(FYI I used the guide in this article: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-use-the-smart-manager-application-to-check-for-malware-or-viruses/ to determine the steps I took so far. )

Looking for support on searching for tabs on Firefox for Android which is similar to the [version] .

Hi, I've just changed my phone & PC. on my phone (Realme 13pro+ on Android 14) Dark mode isn't working on most websites. I have glaucoma so it's very difficult for me to endure white backgrounds. I've checked on my old phone & the same sites are dark as they should be. I've tried 'Dark' & 'Follow system dettings" but neither work. on my new laptop, Dark mode works, but is preceded by a horrible flash of full brightness before it goes dark, which is really bad for my eyes!

Any help appreciated. Rich in UK

Is this Support Forum Dead or what ? It's been almost a Week since I asked a Question. Forget Solution, Atleast, A Reply would have been something.

If stated my issue in Play Store reviews, it says to ask my question in this Support Forum.

Is my question - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1453029 even visible to you all or not ?

I loved everything in Firefox Mobile except for this above stated issue. I had plans to even Donate to Firefox if this issue had been resolved. It's not even a big issue, just apply a fix from Firefox Focus to Firefox Mobile. Is it too much to ask ?

I know your volunteers are Mozilla users just like me, who take the time out of their day to help. But, still, No Reply for a Week ?

Okay. I think doing anything or waiting for replies and helps any further is waste of time. This might be the reason Chrome is still way better.

Goodbye Firefox.

No Thank You.

hey team Mozilla,

i'm having a bit of an issue with Password Manager not syncing between my android mobile device and my desktop device.

on desktop, i went through hundreds of accounts. i deleted accounts. i updated password. and i changed emails associated with those accounts (this was in response to recent data breaches that led to my identity being co-opted by fraudsters).

however, none of those updates are carrying over to my Firefox android app.

to trouble shoot, i tried clearing the mobile cache, clearing the mobile data, uninstalling the mobile app, syncing my desktop app, waiting for 8 hours, syncing the desktop app again, reinstalling the mobile app, logging back in.... but for some reason, the mobile app continues to remember all of my old and out-of-date passwords.

do you have any advice?

Title. I'm aware i can turn off the sync/log out of the account that will further stop my data going into the wrong hands; is there a way i can remotely factory reset the app, basically?
