Firefox for Android Community Forum

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?

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.

When I fill out and submit a form on Firefox for Android, the data doesn't appear as suggestions the next time I fill out the form. However, it works well on the desktop version, where I get suggestions like my first name.

I'm using Firefox Nightly 130.0a1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. When I open a video in fullscreen and it rotates to landscape, there is a large gap between the video and the edge of the screen. Interestingly, this gap is affected by the setting "Customize -> Address bar location" - If the address bar is set to appear on top the gap is on top, and if the address bar is set to appear on bottom the gap is on the bottom. I've included screenshots from both settings. This happens on both YouTube and Dailymotion, so it is a browser issue and not a site issue.

I clicked the email I wished to read on my 11 year old Samsung ph and off we went to Firefox - BUT I got a face full of Facebook, with no sign of Firefox which appeared to have been pushed off the cliff. I don't have an FB app on my ph I have never used FB on any of my devices - I am much too old and busy with many more important things.

took me a while to find this page - thanks to my incurable bone marrow cancer I sometimes feel like I am and demented ancient. [thankfully most of the time I am coherent and sort of normal -but my whole life was upended when I was diagnosed a few years ago. the number of things this disease can do to one are quite astounding so I'm always looking for news surrounding Multiple Myeloma, as it is called.]

can I prevent that from happening? and, if yes, of course, how can I do that? thanks for reading all this

uhoh, I just realised I haven't updated FF on my ph - even tho I do it on PC when I see a message, or just check if one is lurking ...

could that be the reason for FB sticking their bib where it's not welcome? k

I've just happened to learn that Firefox on Android no longer uses a master password to protect passwords. That was a feature that has kept me on Firefox forever.

It is insufficient, dangerous, and insecure to rely on my device PIN. PINs are not long, can be brute forced, and law enforcement can compel discloser.

I am baffled by this choice. If it is how its going to be I have no particular reason to use Firefox and I certainly can't financially support it.

Firefox is getting to be more trouble than its worth. ACTIVATE FIREFOX doesnt work NOW the latest trying to log in and getting made to feel like iM a Suspicious Character.

Just tell me how this haappened. One minute my longstanding account is no longer active then PRESTO MAGICO it is active.

Matter of fact passwords and internet and TWO FACTOR ID have taken any semblance of entertainment off the board. WHY INACTIVE the active within seconds?

I want to setup Firefox as my main browser for Android phone. I need it's name eg: Firefox.com? And does it have a startup page? My phone needs that info. Thanks
