Firefox for Android Support Forum

Howdy folks, hope all is well your way...

When I download a file, a notification pops up when the download is complete. I find this quite annoying, especially when downloading file in a bit of rapid succession.

Is there some way to turn this off on FF mobile?

I tried... about:config > browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel on the nightly build, but after having created the option, it doesn't seem to work.

I would be forever indebted to any suggestions y'all can provide.

Thanks.

I use Firefox Android (newest version) on my OnePlus 8 Pro (Android updated to the newest version).

Usually when I browse the net, I tap the URL bar whenever I wanna head to another website on another domain (for example from google.com to youtube.com). I don't like to close the tab and open a new one as that's slower. I could tap the URL bar and immediately typ the new URL on my touch keyboard as the current URL would be already selected so typing the first characters of the domain name (for example 'you' for youtube.com) would replace the whole URL and autofill would then suggest the full URL so I could press Enter on my keyboard afterwards.

Some behaviour changed some versions ago. Now I can do that most of the time but *sometimes* tapping the URL bar does not select the whole URL. Instead, autofill will suggest a sub URL of the page I'm currently on and typing on my keyboard will only replace the additional part of the URL autofill suggests. If I wanna leave the website and go to a completely new one, I will have to manually delete the whole URL and start typing afterwards.

Look at the two images I've uploaded: Image "A" directly shows how it looks after I've tapped on the URL bar: I'm on URL "https://ytforum.de/f" which is a German board about youtube. Autofill suggests I could browse to "https://ytforum.de/f/unread-thread-list", which is their URL to display all unread topics of the board. As you can see, there's two different colors for the highlight of the selection. The left part which is the URL I'm currently on is highlighted with a grey color (red 1) while the new part suggested from autofill ("unread-thread-list", blue 2) is highlighted with a purle-ish color.

When I type "youtube" on my keyboard, I would now expect the whole URL to be replaced with youtube and autofill to suggest youtube.com, which is how it worked some versions ago. However, the first letter ("y") will cause the purple selection (blue 2) to be deleted while the letters afterwards ("outube") will be added to the already existing URL I'm currently on (red 1).

The result can be seen in image "B": the URL after typing "youtube" is now "https://ytforum.de/f/outube" which is not what I would ever expect and also it's not the site I want to go to. Please pay attentio to the "y" of "youtube" not being in the URL as this key acted like a delete press, only deleting the suggestion.

How can I make the URL bar to consistently ALWAYS select the whole URL on firefox android?

I also want to point out that this bug apparently only occures when you're on a sub path of a URL. For example this behaviour does NOT occur when I am only on "https://ytforum.de". It only occurs when I am on "https://ytforum.de/f" and it also only occurs on other sites when I'mn NOT on the top level of the domain. I also don't wish to turn off autofill completely. It's a very useful tool I use all the time to navigate to pages faster, I don't wanna miss it.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Why in this world firefox for android doesn't have speed dial and speed dials folders like literally rest of browsers ?!? why this is such a problem to do it ?!?!?

How can I override the default to connect to a website in HTTPS-mode and enforce a HTTP connection for specific websites, like the configuration server on modems/routers?

Where is the Firefox-for-Desktop option in the padlock menu for the Android version, when it says "Connection is not secure", to turn off "HTTPS-Only Mode" temporarily or permanently for that site?

All I have available, is the in this case pointless "Retry" button and the useless info "This connection has timed out". But nothing at all to force a HTTP-Only connection.

The solution can't be, that every time I need to connect to a website that does not support transport encryption, to have to dive deep into FF's settings and globally disable "HTTPS-Only Mode", and once I am done, go back and enable it again.

So, what is the pragmatic solution on mobile Firefox to add and manage such exceptions?

hi, i visit Web that contains VR. The gyroscope seems work but i can't control the vr like click, even move. The screen is also back to portrait eventho i change it to landscape.

Any help? I use firefox for android and my domain already https.

Hello,

This morning, I have accidentally close all my tabs (60+ tabs, which were open for more than 5+ years), while I wanted to reopen a recently closed tab. I suppose that this mistake was due to the sensitivity of the touch screen, since both option are next to each other in the menu.

I see multiple problems here: - There was no dialog asking me if I wanted to close all my tabs. While on Desktop this dialog exists. So for a long time I had no clue what just happened. - As I remember, Firefox did not gave me the opportunity to undo my action.

Now, the question is: How can I reopen all my closed tabs ? The menu "Recently closed tabs" have only 10 items, and those do not belong to the 60+ tabs that have been closed.

Is there a way to reopen all the tabs that I accidentally closed (I do not use Firefox Sync) ?

Thanks in advance

As I was changing my password I believe someone else who is already hacked into my device, changed it before I could get it typed in completely. I know what I changed it to or was going to change it to but I received a notification before I completed typing it in. This is the reason I switched to the Firefox browser for the security that it has for it's accounts. Thank you in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
