  1. Sometimes I use the browser while the system is in dark mode.
  2. Then I switch system to light mode. FF recognizes it and switches to light mode accordingly.
  3. Then I use it in light mode for a little more.
  4. Then some time passes (maybe a few hours), I don't use FF during that time.
  5. Then, I tap on FF icon, the browser starts, but immediately switches back to dark mode, while the system is still in light mode.
  6. I have to close FF by swiping on it in task switcher, and then tap on the app again.
  7. FF now uses light/dark theme according to system.

Device: Motorola Edge 30 Neo with stock Android 14.

I am using Fennec: 124.1.0 (Build #1241020), 516df33ca9+ GV: 124.0.1-20240326023132 AS: 124.0

Hello,

I’ve been using Firefox on my iOS device, and I’m trying to sync my bookmarks across devices. However, it seems like the bookmarks from my desktop are not showing up on my iPhone. I have already logged into my Firefox account on both devices and enabled sync for bookmarks.

Could you please guide me on how to properly sync bookmarks between Firefox on desktop and Firefox for iOS? Are there any additional steps or settings I need to check?

Thanks in advance!

Google is the only search engine I've selected for my Firefox Android browser. Often in the last month or so – after I type a search term into the omnibox at the top of my Firefox browser page – a "bing.com" results page opens. In fact, after I tried the words 'bing hijack' in this Mozilla Help page's own dedicated search box (NOT the browser's omnibox) another 'bing.com' page opened with search results This has happened in two different mobile devices that are synced to the same Firefox account. I do use the uBlock extension so I added the bing URL to the "My Filters" list, and my browser is always set for 'Strict' tracking protection. Is there any way to defeat this nonsense?

I'm not sure what to do about my search engine? It's telling me I have a new private tab, but the search bar tells me it's Google. when I choose what search engine I want to use in my settings, I only have the choices that are listed. But what about my Firefox browser, the one that I want to use and the one that I thought I was getting/would have?

Does anyone know what causes Sync to fail in Firefox? I’m signed in on two devices with 6 to 9 tabs max open. My tabs don’t sync or send from one device to another properly. My history also doesn’t work. I just visited a site 2 minutes ago and all I see in my history is sites I visited 12 hours ago. I’m at my wits’ end and ready to find another browser. Please help if possible.

i really need to PERMANENTLY DISABLE the infernal, default auto-refresh session on return to already opened tab. tyranny of the default on Android.

if/when i want to refresh that session, i'll do so MANUALLY.

i want this, not only in alpha, but beta & standard, too. so, it just can't be buried in about:config, which is nanny-state removed from standard. it must be exposed in UI Settings.

i'm not the first or only to request this.
