Sometimes users want to open a page or link from "Firefox für Android" in the more privacy aware "Firefox focus". There currently is no easy way to do this other than copying the URL.

Solution: When users "share" an URL, "Firefox Clear" should be included in the list of eligible apps that can handle URLs.

Hi

I recommend you make use of the Private Browsing tools in Firefox for Android. You can read more about these here.

I hope that this helps but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

I should have mentioned that I have javascript disabled in "Firefox for Android". I'd like to view pages that require javascript in a dedicated browser with no memory.

If the official answer were to use private browsing, I wonder why we need FF focus.

Hi

There are likely to be further releases of Focus for Android with improved features. At the present time it is a small browser for those quick searches that do not require a full browsing experience.
