Firefox Focus Support Forum

You have firefox focus browser, firefox focus browser (beta), firefox focus beta for testers and firefox focus nightly (early access). I tried all 4 of them but i couldn't find any difference between the 4 types of firefox focus. So i was wondering why does those 4 exist if there is no difference or am i missing something?

In profile on Desktop, my phone doesn't even show up as one of my devices with Firefox browser, tho it's been on there for years. So long, I'd forgotten I'd chosen Focus. Is it so private even Firefox doesn't know about it?

Does syncing require that I ALSO download Firefox ADHD in order to sync with my desktop?

Thanks, c8

I have encountered performance issues on my webite Gulfcareerz.online while using Firefox Focus for Android. I've noticed significant delays in page loading and occasional misalignment of elements. Are there any specific steps or configurations that can be implemented to enhance the browsing experience on this website? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I added a search engine. I had the right %s URL string. When I added it, Firefox Focus said "make sure you replace the search string with %s". That made me think it was checking the URL, so I added https:// in front, BUT I accidentally removed the first letter of the URL. It let me add it, but then searches didn't work. It letting me use the typo implies it doesn't check the URL.

A novice user may not realize that the error really means "add https://" not the catch-all "check your %s". Not sure where to report bugs, so I'm adding it here.

The workflow to fix my typo could also be improved upon. It's dark-pattern adjacent to have to go in to search settings, change the default to another engine (assuming there is one), get kicked back to main settings, then have to go back to search engines, remove the one you added, then add it again. Could be fixed by having Focus actually try the URL when adding one. I think adding offline would be a very infrequent use case, but you could make it prompt "Hey, I can't load this URL are you sure you want to add it?"

Hey, just wanted to bring awareness to the popout video player being broken in FFfocus on android (on my samsung S21, anyway) as of the latest stable FFfocus update.

As i move the video box up my screen, the video shrinks down, and the box gets filled by a black border. By the time the video player is at the top of the screen, the whole box is pure black.

P.S. this is a throwaway email (sorry), so i wont be able to respond. I just wanted to give a heads up, and the google play rep, told me to make a post here.

Some other potential worthwhile info Android 12 Samsung OneUI version - doesnt seem to matter Web video player doesnt matter

Thanks for making the best web browsers for the past 20 years!

can I download Firefox focus from Mozilla directly on my tablet automatically with full settings for Android tablet as default search engine and for private use

I put in a question on Firefox focus, non sexual, and was sent to pornography site, which blocked my attempt leave site. Firefox focus would not leave the site and each time I pressed the backwards key the site showed more pornography.So I uninstalled Firefox focus. Why does Firefox focus allow the hijacking of its site.

I have Firefox Focus and I have enjoyed it except for one blaring issue. Without closing it, it sometimes completely restarts and closes every tab. I lose SO much when it happens. Is there ANYTHING that I can do in this instance to retrieve my tabs?

Especially for some sites, such as the Washington Post, when attempting to clear Focus by tapping the trash can, Focus freezes, then (both) the iPad or iPhone go black with a small spinning circle, rebooting to iPad's/iPhone's entry screen. This started happening recently, in early 2023, after updating iOS. Very very very (did I say "very"?) annoying. If this is not a current Focus bug report, it should be.

As I try to rotate the screen orientation while using Firefox Focus, the screen goes blank. This doesn't happen elsewhere on any other app on my device. I tried re-installing and restarting my phone, but I have the same problem. Anybody encounter this issue?

Video play screen goes blank when rotating to landscape. All controls disappear, sound continues. Blank grey screen is locked in landscape position with no. Only solution is force-close and reopen. Android One UI 5, Android 13, Samsung S20+ 5G

Videos in portrait play normally, but whenever they are rotated to landscape or fullscreened, they just display a gray screen. Audio still plays correctly but video does not work

I cannot select the desired option directly from the page On any android browser it displays this annoying pop-up that doesn't work The page is censored because it is a confidential intranet of a company. Thanks
