https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/releases Firefox Beta 89.0.0-beta.10 (Lower Builds or Higher Builds all same Error) since ~v86.x fenix-89.0.0-beta.10-armeabi-v7a.apk

Use Beta Versions for use Switch: about:config / javascript.enabled false Add-ons: uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript with Empty Authorization List

Fone - Handy: Samsung Galaxy S5 Lineage OS klte Android 11 rooted

No outher Apps is Installed on this Fone

1. Error Swipe: With older Firefox Releases 68.11.0 i have no Swipe Errors with one Finger. On v89.x Releases Browse Internet Sides Example: https://www.chip.de can Swipe Downside do Read and End of Read further Swipe do Internet Side stop Swipe i can not. Have to wait 20 Seconds or more. Then it Works.

My Little Solution: Use two fingers, Yes Really, it Works. right away. What has been changed ? In the Future Build by Swipe with one Finger ?

2. Error: Bookmarks

By Synchron Fone - Handy with the PC i have an Error with the Bookmark Folders This System i have:

Bookmarks / Links (Name from this Folder) (in this Folder more Folders: 01*, 02 ,03 .. 47) link1 (Favorites most used links) link2 link3...

  • 01 (in this 01 Folder more Links)

link1 link2 link3...

  • 02

link1 link2 link3...

Error: I do Synchron now with my PC all Folder not here all Links are i one Folder on PC.

My Solution: (rooted): data/data/org.mozilla,firefox_beta/files places.* files copy as backup files

Delete all Folders one by one and do Synchron with PC or the SQLite DB Browser Tool on PC. Can read sqlite Files.

Greetings gantnerer

Why is the places.* Files from Android not compatible with Firefox on Pc ? places.* is the Bookmarks SQLite Database. Firefox on Pc can Import places Files but not from Android.

Hi

Have you tried this without changing a preference in about:config?

What happens when you try to sync bookmarks to desktop Firefox using a Firefox Account?

"Have you tried this without changing a preference in about:config?" No, but with Firefox https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/releases Firefox Beta 90.0.0-beta.4 it seems to be getting better. only had minimal short swipe blockers.

By Bookmark Synchronisation on PC, all Bookmarks in the Folder on Android come on PC without Folders all in the Main Site on PC. But I've already written that above.

And when I delete the bookmarks on the PC, they are deleted at the same time on the Android device without prompting. And that is gross misconduct by Firefox on Android.

Hi

I recommend that you try this without making any changes in about:config.

Bookmarks and other data are supposed to be deleted from other devices attached to your Firefox Account. Firefox Sync is designed to keep devices in sync, not as an online backup storage system.
