I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hello Firefox Team, I'm currently experiencing an issue related to the screen size/resolution detected by the browser on Android. I noticed that having the app running in the background for some time.. and then opening the app again.. causes that when I decide to browse.. the resolution detected gets bigger than expected. For instance the resolution detected is like if I were using a tablet instead of a phone, making the interface looking like if I turned on the "Desktop site mode" which I didn't.

So far the only solution I have done to fix that it's to completely close Firefox and opening it again, which of course it's not convenient.

I left some screenshots which show the wrong screen resolution detected by the browser. I'm also leaving below the information of my device and the version of Firefox I'm using right now, in case it helps.

Thank you very much for your time in taking a look at this issue, please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Regards.

Information about my device: Samsung Galaxy S24+ Android 14 One UI 6.1

Information about Firefox: 129.0 (Build #2016035991), hg-2d113ed75bf0+ GV: 129.0-20240801122119 AS: 129.0

When I am in google and click in a link, firefox open a duplicate tab of the page I was and then I can access the page link I clicked. If I return to the original tab, this open again a new tab, a third tab. I cleared the cache, cleared the cookies, uninstall firefox and reinstall again but nothing resolved.

Just recently, I noticed that Firefox on Android has been added to the “Open with” list and allows us to open local PDF files by using “Open with” in any file manager and selecting Firefox. However, local image files, videos, and text/HTML files still cannot be opened by Firefox. I believe that all the functionality is already built into the program’s code. Adding Firefox to the “Open with” list for images, videos, and text would require very little effort. There are hundreds of different viewers in the Google Play Store. However, Firefox’s shortcuts and collections could provide us with a very convenient way to organize locally stored information.

Good morning

My problem is when I open navigation in Mozilla, it opens fine, when I click on navigate it opens the Google Maps tab to install, but I already have it installed and the updates are up to date.
Can you help?
Thank you

Hey 👋🏼

I have an issue with the Facebook 'recent post' feed: Only two posts were displayed in the 'recent post' feed and then a spinning loading symbol is at the bottom - then nothing else is loading on my OnePlus 12 and Google Pixel 6, Firefox version 126.0.

In Microsoft Edge it is working, all posts are loaded correctly, so it seems to be a browser issue.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

It's the same problem as here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420806

Thanks 🙏🏼 Dresa91

I have uninstalled reinstalled etc etc over and over and Firefox still minimizes itself when reading articles or just about anything. No other browser does this. What could be the problem?

I had a number of situations where attempt to scan a qr code results in a number in Firefox - e.g. attempt to open web adress http://7638746 or something like that.

Other browsers/qr code scanners give correct output, i.e. the address qr code gives.

I am actually quite curious that I haven't found a single thread about it. Does anyone know why this is happening?

After updating to version 128, the browser half-loads the sites in the first few seconds after opening the browser, and nothing can be clicked on the webpage and even reloading and opening another site doesn't work. I didn't see any specific log in logcat.

I have tested different versions of firefox: (✅: Works, ❌: Doesn't work)

✅ 125 ✅ 127.0.2 ❌ 128.0 ❌ 129.0b9 ❌ 130 (nightly)

Device indormation: OS version: Android 13 ROM: crDroid 9.0 (GSI) Memory: 1.94 GB Kernel: 4.14.199 Brand: samsung, Model: SM-A032F Hardware: Unisoc SC9863A Supported architectures: armeabi-v7a, armeabi Cores: 8 Graphics: OpenGL ES version: 3.2

Hello,

I'm not able to upload files to certain websites using Firefox on Android.

When selecting a file for the phone's file manager, the file upload simply not starting.

However, Firefox on iOS doesn't have that issue.

Firefox version used is the latest one and it is the one from Google Play.

Tried another browser and it works great.
