Recently switched to Firefox for Android, love it so far. But I have a problem. I want to forward emails from my gmail account (not app, browser), but they are only forwarding as plain text (pictures, etc not forwarded). How do I set it so it forwards as is? Or am I looking at finding a different browser that allows me to do this? No, I do not want to use the gmail app. TIA

Hi

This does not sound like an issue with Firefox for Android, but it is something that your email service provider should be able to help you with.

Considering I do not have this problem in other mobile browsers...I am going to say, yes it is a Firefox issue/setting. Thanks for confirming that I need to find a different browser.

Firefox for Android does not control how emails are sent between email providers - their settings are the ones that control this.

Hi

Please appreciate Firefox for Android is a web browser, not an email service. The service that you are using will be able to help you with this issue.
