FIrefox - Android Support Forum

I miss two features from using Chrome on Android. Your help file says "double tap with a single finger to zoom" should work, but double tapping to zoom in or out doesn't work. At least not on my phone. But it does work in Chrome.

The other features is to swipe down at the top of a page to refresh it. I use this feature a lot and feel like it would be pretty easy to implement.

Without the zoom working I will probably switch back to Chrome. Which is unfortunate because I use Firefox on my desktop.

It would be nice if Firefox supported dual screens on Android. I have a Surface Duo and the other browsers allow me to run one tab on each screen. There's an option in each of the browsers to "open tab on other screen" so you can do side by side browsing. Firefox doesn't have this feature.

"Dual-screen libraries

Take advantage of our developer and designer resources at learn.microsoft.com/dual-screen including the library of dual-screen layouts that includes: FolableLayout, Snackbar, BottomNavigation, FoldableNavigation, and the latest NavigationRail component.

OK, I changed phone recently & managed to sync across from my old phone. I think I had to reset all the settings though, so it only saved/synced tabs & bookmarks etc...

The new phone then stopped working & so I'm now trying to sync again on another new phone, but nothing seems to be syncing or working at all. Even logging in never seems to work properly. Just lots of spinning icons & no response from Firefox browser/account.

Also the wording on the verification emails I received is absolutely awful & needs to be rewritten in my opinion, as they leave you with no clue what to do next?

If anyone at Firefox is listening, please contact me with some step by step clear instructions of how to resolve the current issues I'm facing trying to login, sync, reset settings, etc....

Thanks, I'm not sure why you've made having an account so cumbersome, awkward & unfriendly. It feels like your design goes against your company ethos.

If any other user have any help or advice your knowledge is appreciated.

I would like to see the desktop version of web sites on my tablet by default. FF lets me choose desktop view manually for specific pages when I open them, but I shouldn't have to do that each time. Is there a way to make it permanent?

Is there a way on Firefox for android to use my fingerprint to authenticate my login to a website? I have a galaxy s22 and am using Firefox version 106.1.0. Right now I just go to the webpage and it lets me select a username and password to log in and I would rather it ask me for a fingerprint before letting me just log in.

Thanks

I am using firefox 106.1 on a S22. Since the update whenever i open a website, all i see is black canvas. I have to either open another tab and switch back to the the website for it to render or minimise Firefox, open another app and switch back. Once the website is showing, the session gets normal and i dont see the problem till i exit the browser. This has been happening only after the update. Any clues please how to resolve this?

I used to use something like file:/// to get the root dir listing. I could then go to subdirs and read files. It appears that Firefox now only accesses files it downloads and it won't download HTML files. Is it possible to do the old actions?
