I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

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

I wanted to add a comment on an add-on description page, but I see no way to do that. These are plenty of other comments already posted. How do I add a comment, or reply to one, on an add-on description page? Thanks for your help. PS If it's helpful, it's specifically this page.

I appreciate your help and I want to thank you. But I just wanted to make it clear (in my mind), I have Firefox browser but it is not a search engine? I can/should & or need to use like Google or one of the other ones. Is this correct? I'm not very tech savvy. Oh, I wanted to let you know, I have my android phone S24 that I use, but I also have 2 laptops. One is an IOS 11 and the other one is an IOS 10. Does that make a difference?

The online directions say that after logging in to Firefox on the desktop, that I should open the android app, click Settings and the click Sync and Save. But there is no Sync icon (see attachment) on the phone(android 14). On the laptop if I click on dd another Device it just takes me back to the same instructions. How do I sync the phone and computer?

My old device is dead. Got a new Samsung but I am unable to synchronised my old firefox profile including bookmarks, history etc as the old profile is not on the list.

I need to recover my old profile onto my new device

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] .
