Firefox for Android Support Forum

The Mozilla article says to go into about Firefox where you will be able to view which version of Firefox you are using. How do I know if this version is the latest version?

The article says that the best way to update Firefox is to do it from Play store. It says to tap on the my apps link to see which apps need to be updated but there is no my apps Link in Play store.

How do I determine if I'm using the latest version of Firefox on android?

Hey,

I'm looking to delete site data without deleting my history. In the app under "Delete browsing data", the only way to delete site data is through "Browsing history and site data".

There must be a way to do this? It's easy to do on desktop. Deleting site data while keeping local history seems like a basic thing to ask, I don't understand why they are linked?

Would appreciate any help, I am otherwise really enjoying both the desktop and mobile browsers. However this is a very essential feature to me as I am looking for a privacy-oriented browser which I thought Firefox is supposed to be, though this seems like a very basic privacy feature that is just missing or hidden?

Thanks

Dear,

I tried for weeks to add a website and a serer 192.168..... on "exceptions" list on my android firefox browser.

With all tutorial,it never works....https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-trusted-websites-your-allow-list-firefox-focus#:~:text=Tap%20Settings.,t%20added%20any%20allowed%20sites.)

My exceptions list remains empty.

I recently made the (apparently) foolish decision to allow Firefox to upgrade using the Play store App. This is on a Galaxy S8 running Android 9. Firefox 109.2.0 was installed and upon opening the App, all of my user data was gone. No tabs, bookmarks, saved passwords or other settings were available.

This is unacceptable. There appears to be no way to recover the lost information, but I am opening this case to determine if there is a recovery strategy. Of course, I don't really want to run version 109.2.0 and will revert back to something that works without losing data as soon as the missing data is recovered.

I'm not sure why the Firefox Devs seem to think that user data is a disposable and unimportant item, but I would encourage a full review of their processes to determine why they have failed so badly.

In the meantime, if anyone has a method that might be used to recover the old profile data, that would be very helpful.

Some notes: 1) No, I don't use Sync (or whatever they are calling it today) because it is a security risk in my view to have any third party including Mozilla know my bookmarks. 2) about:profiles does not work. 3) I'm not sure what version was installed earlier, but AdBlock Plus was working fine, so it may have been a year or more since my last update.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have been using Firefox since 2004 on my desktop. When I lost some of my eyesight I started using Firefox only because it would let me control the font size and face. See attached image. I am trying to use Firefox on my phone but it does not seem to support this feature. I need this feature in the Android Firefox. If it is there I need to know how to access it and if it is not there I need it added. Or maybe tell me a web browser that supports it. The last time I looked Firefox was the only one that did.

I'm getting a blue dot on the hamburger icon and when I tap the burger icon there's a blue dot next to "install" on the drop-down menu. However when I switch to another tab there's no Blue Dot and there's no install menu item.

What is the install icon wanting me to install and if it's a Firefox update why isn't this blue dot showing on all of my open tabs?

I am using the latest build of Android on a Pixel 7 phone. My Firefox is up to date per the Google Play store.

When I first started using Firefox for Android, I really liked that it would continue playing my audio without and user interaction. I turn my Bluetooth devices on, and it continued to play audio in Bluetooth device. When I turned it off, it then continued to play on my phone.

Maybe a couple of months ago, I noticed that it would pause my audio when I disconnected my Bluetooth device. So I would then have to open Firefox to resume playback to play on my phone. There were no issues at the time when connecting to a BT device. It would seamlessly play from phone to BT device without me interacting with my device.

Now maybe a couple of weeks ago, audio will now pause in BOTH cases when connecting and disconnecting to / from a BT device. I have to open the browser to start playback again in all cases now.

Is there a way to force it to keep playing when I am connecting or disconnecting from a BT device? Unsure if this is a bug or a setting that I am missing.

We cannot get a google account because our landline neither sends nor receives text messages. We are in process of setting up and testing a cell phone, and would like to load Firefox for Android as the browser. We cannot download from google play because google demands to send a text-message "verification" code. We note, thankfully, that Mozilla does not (stupidly) do likewise to set up a Firefox account.

I think it was Firefox 52 or somewhere around the time that Firefox 52 came out, there was an addon that allowed users to spoof their device. I could make my Android phone appear to various websites, to be a Computer, a Tablet, an iphone, etc. Does Firefox still have that Addon? If so, how can I download it? If not, does anyone know where I might find a similar one?

Thank You.

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC
