Firefox for Android Community Forum

I posted to the play store and was asked to post this here. I hope this is where they wanted me to post. The link provided was the support home page. I have added details, that I had no room to include in google play review.

Something has changed recently with the way firefox manages sites accessed by customized links in emails. previously the links would give me access to articles where i have an account. now the sites log me out (gmail when adding an account, mondaq when accessing an article) and tell me to register/login, even though i am registered and the link had an embedded password, or I was already logged in. this is not happening in ghostery. it happens even when site cookies accepted are all accepted.  It happens in Firefox for windows (11) as well as Firefox for Android. For the Mondaq website I can no longer read any articles that are in the emails that are sent to me.  Within 10 seconds of the article loading the page refreshes and asks me to sign in. This only started happening recently. Previously I could leave articles open in firefox tabs for months, and still access them.  Now I can't even read past the first few lines, and all the ones I had saved are lost.  As for gmail.  I have pinned tabs for my email & calendar.  When i "add account' it's supposed to open the additional account in a new tab, which it does.  But it also resets the pinned tab to the new account. I'm going around in circles trying to have two gmail accounts open at the same time.  In addition when i have a google sheets open in a tab, rather than staying open between sessions (all google sites are in my exceptions for cookie clearing) it requires me to log in again if I've not accessed the sheet again within a few hours.  That's even though I'm still logged into the gmail account that is linked to the google drive account that has the sheet.   I'm now on windows 11.  i don't know if these issues are related to that or to rececent changes/updates (lots) by firefox.

I currently use Firefox android on my Samsung S25 and I'm unable to play any videos on healthygamer.gg . It still works fine on my S21. On one drive links, I am able to see video but unable to hear audio (the video was not muted, i checked). Both of these issues do not exist on the brave browser I am currently using on my S25. I have already allowed autoplay for videos and allowed drm-controlled content.

On the most recent update (7/14/2025), my basic Firefox settings were apparently wiped without any notice. To be clear, other things like my bookmarks were not lost, and my extensions were still installed at least. I previously had Firefox setup to not show me any content when I start it, just a blank page. I also had history saving disabled by default (ie privacy mode). After the update, you started showing me a page that wasn't blank and instead had suggestions on it. Also, the history was being saved from that point on. If I wasn't somewhat tech savvy, I might not have noticed the second change, as there was no warning from Firefox that my settings would be reverted with the update. I eventually figured out how to restore the behavior I had previously with this new version, but it took quite a bit more fiddling than previously to get history saving to be disabled by default when starting Firefox. I do appreciate the addition of fingerprint auth to switch to the app now as an option, but over all this seems like a predatory thing to do to users. I was asked to post here by a developer response to my review on Google Play in which I reported these issues (though much more briefly due to the character limit). I do understand that major updates/changes can require resetting configuration. However, those kinds of updates should display a warning/notice of such a change. I did look for such a notice on the "What's new" content for the update, which isn't something most people would likely even look at, but even there I did not see any indication that past settings would be lost/wiped.

A lot of websites now all for a passkey to log in, and some tell me that this browser doesn't support passkeys. Is there a way of adding this functionality to Firefox for Android?

Thanks

I'm using collections in my home page. Great feature, except it's SO EASY to delete something by mistake! There's no Undo, no way to restore what was deleted... It there a way to add more friction for deleting something from there? (An Undo button would also be great but I guess that's more a feature request)

I'm using Firefox on Android and I'm having trouble clearing cookies in the following situations:

- When browsing in private mode, after closing all my private tabs and closing Firefox - When browsing in private mode and turning on 'Delete Browsing Data on quit', and quitting by pressing the quit button - When browsing in private mode and manually clearing cookies with 'Delete Browsing Data's

I know cookies haven't been cleared because I'm still logged in to websites in private mode after performing the above actions and restarting Firefox. I need to close and restart Firefox multiple times before cookies are actually cleared.

I have not tried this in regular (non-private) mode.

Could I get help with clearing cookies consistently?

I accidentally deleted Firefox Data (Local Storage ) instead of Cache So when I try to login to sites not able to login( Lost all Passwords)But I sync everytime Whenever Password used in Sites (default Sync is On) ,Please Help me to get All my Passwords

When changing the login password in Firefox, I can select the "Use strong password" option, but the password automatically generated by Firefox will use characters that cannot be used as password (such as symbols), and the system will not accept the "new" password generated by Firefox, so the Firefox's automatic password generation will be wasted. There are very few sites that embed allowed character types as a password on password changing page, so is it possible to manually specify the character type or re-edit the generated password?

Ho un samsung S21 e da quando Firefox si e' aggiornato alla versione 140.0.3, andando indietro non ci sono piu' le pagine che ho cercato. Vorrei quindi tornare alla versione precedente, e' possibil? Qualcuno mi dice come si fa? Grazie.

When I use browser for Android mobile phone it simply can not open new tabs for browsing. I have to open some adverts so it could open new tab. In the settings option there is no button or command where I could fix that

I run Fx140.0.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S24, and I have two issues:

1. When opening a map on posten.no (Norwegian postal service), the map display shows up as diagonally mirrored top left to bottom right, with the left/lower part shown correct and the right part being a perfect mirrored image along the diagonal. The map is driven by ESRI

1. When using https://globe.adsbexchange.com/, some aircraft symbols are distorted, see attached screenshot

Is this a known behaviour to Firefox for Android? In Google Chrome I don't see these flaws.
