Firefox Androidile Community Forum

I have Release, Beta (and Nightly) on this 10" Samsung tablet running Android 13. For some months I've been expecting the new tab bar (tabs accross the top, like on desktop, and a + on the left) to arrive in the Release version I normally use. I assumed it was being held back.

Today I saw it in Beta 133. I updated Release so that's now: 133.0 (Build #2016057495), hg-8141aab3ba85+ GV: 133.0-20241121140525 AS: 133.0

I now see default desktop view (good idea) - but no tab bar. I've searched settings unsuccessfully.

Why not? Is it behind a pref which I can't change? What's the plan?

Now it's completely impossible to open PDFs outside Firefox, as I could do until the last couple of beta versions.

This trend is going on since a few years ago, from bad to worst. The whole design of the PDFs download process is bad. PDFs should be treated by FF as any other file: download and open with the system default PDF viewer. Imposing Firefox's internal PDF viewer as mandatory for downloaded PDFs is nonsense.

I own a Samsung Fold 5 phone. I have set the outer display used when the phone is folded to 300dp. The inner unfolded width is set to 601dp.

Up until very recently, when I folded or unfolded my phone, websites would resize. Often switching between layouts made for phones and layouts made for tablets or desktops. This still happens in Chrome. But no longer does in Firefox. Instead the site has the same resolution in both modes, making the text too small to read when folded. This effectively makes Firefox unusable unless I unfold my phone. Please make Firefox respect the resolution I have set for each mode again so I can view websites at a width of 300px in folded mode like I used to.

Note I have the slider for "desktop site" turned off. When I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The slider doesn't activate and the resolution does not change. (But the page does reload.) This used to give me the option of 3 different resolutions for my screen, (300 folded, 601 unfolded, and something like 1024 in desktop mode.) I'm not sure if desktop mode is permanently turned on now, or if the phone is set to permanently use 601 width, but it is definitely not using the 300 width I used to get when folded. The desktop mode slider is to the left and will not change.

I opened site settings and turned off always request desktop site and nohing changed. I am still unable to get the 300 width site I need to be able to use Firefox on a folded phone.

Hi, my browser on my tablet keeps making all tabs stuck in desktop mode with no way to turn it off. It started happening today when it updated to the latest Firefox Android 133. The desktop mode toggle is set to off, and when I click it it still is set to off and it's still in Desktop mode. When I copy the URL to another tab I can turn desktop mode off, but that gets reset to on whenever the browser is killed in the background.

I've tried force closing the app and clearing cache, any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I have an issue with Firefox for android version 133.0 When connecting to the VPN (F6 access), i see from f5 logs that my proxy pac is applied with port 3128 but: every connection is refused Can you help please?

Thanks

Hey guys,

I'm using firefox mobile on a lenovo p11 tablet with android 11. Yesterday, everything was fine. This morning I'm opening firefox and every site I visit is huge. Like, really huge. It looks like it is zoomed in, but the max zoom out state is still huge.

It turns out that desktop mode doesn't work anymore, because firefox 133 was installed overnight on my tablet. If you toggle it in the 3 dot menu, the site just reloads but if you check the menue after that it's deactivated again. This happens with the new option (always load desktop mode under website settings) on and off.

Most mobile sites are terrible on tablets since most of the screen real estate is completely wasted by way too big fonts, sidebars, etc.

Is there a workaround for this?

Also, is this a known issue, or should I report it on bugzilla or something?

Cheers

I've been trying to view my saved passwords on mobile but every time I either enter my pin or use my thumbprint to log in, the action doesn't complete. It just goes back to the enter pin screen again and again.

This is the first time I'm encountering this problem and I'm a bit stumped.

Since an update I get "unlock firefox" when logging in to apps. It used to offer suggestions. I have to load firefox then settings passwords and search for the user/password name and copy! Why ?
