Since. my Pixel 3 phone updated to Android 12, Firefox will not load web pages using mobile data. All is fine with a WiFi connection. Other apps are fine without WiFi, but Firefox will not display any of the many sites tried.

No problems prior to the upgrade.

Hi

Do you have any security or antivirus apps on your device?

What level of enhanced tracking protection do you have set?

Do you have any add-ons installed?

I uninstalled the Firefox app from my phone, and started over. And I turned off tracking protection.

I thought that solved my problem, but NO... NOT SOLVED!

Now Firefox does start load web pages, but slowly and not always completely, after I reinstalled and synced with my desktop device. I am getting "connection timed out" messages for some sites.

I don't know what the problem is, as I don't think anyone else is experiencing a problem with AT&T via Consumer Cellular in my area. My husband is using a different browser app on his phone, so I will check how that is performing.

I do not have any security or antivirus apps, or add-ons, and now enhanced tracking is off.

Performance is terrible, and I don't know what to try.

Where are you installing Firefox for Android from?

Which version number do you have installed?

Do you have an example of a page that is not opening?
