Respected Mozilla Firefox Team,

I am a regular user of Firefox on various platforms and greatly appreciate its privacy-centric approach and performance. However, there is one feature missing on the Android version that prevents me from making Firefox my default browser—custom wallpapers. Currently, I am using Microsoft Edge as my default browser on Android, primarily because it allows me to select wallpapers from my phone's gallery to personalize my browsing experience.

I kindly request that you consider adding this functionality in a future update of Firefox for Android. Allowing users to choose wallpapers from their gallery would enhance the personalization options within the browser, making it even more user-friendly and visually appealing.

Thank you for your time and continued commitment to improving the browsing experience.

Warm regards, B. R. Shriradhakrishnasharnam

I rarely go online so I simply use my phone's tether connection the few times I do. I recently upgraded to a new phone and 5G service. Now I discover I can no longer get onto the internet via either tethering or hotspot. The phone connects with the desktop okay and the two devices know about each other but Firefox cannot find any servers. It worked just fine under 4G. Luckily I did a software update of Firefox on my desktop before the new phone and used it a couple of times so I know it is fully up to date. My desktop is Linux mint but I don't think the pblm is there. I am suspicious it is the handshaking that the browser has to do with the 5G network.

Has anyone tried this yet?

Everytime I get push notifications from the sites I have enabled for the same, the minute I tap on them, they redirect me to a blank tab in the Firefox interface or the last open tab in the UI.

This problem has always been there ever since I have started using Firefox for Android.

Why is it that when I browse Facebook and scroll down, it automatically throws me back up? In this situation, I have to repeat the scrolling twice, this happens every time I scroll down the page (this only happens with Firefox because other browsers do not have this problem)

Hello, I have a folding phone, Samsung Z Flip 6. There is a main screen, and another small screen when the phone is folded (called cover screen). Firefox works well when using the main screen. However, when using the cover screen, the text is too big, which leads to a cramped view rendering the browser nearly unusable, because so few information can be displayed.

This problem didn't occur in my earlier phone, Z Flip 5.

Other users of the Z Flip 6 have reported the same problem (based on a few exchanges I've had on the Galaxy Z Flip subreddit).

I have attached 4 pictures: -2 pictures of Firefox on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is too big) -1 picture of Firefox on the inner screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine) -1 picture of Brave browser on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine)

If I go to Firefox accessibility settings and reduce text size by 50%, this results in a good text size on the cover screen, but way too small for the inner screen.

It seems like Firefox scales UP the text size when the screen is scaled DOWN (inner -> cover), which doesn't make sense because when there is less screen space, text should not be bigger because there is even less room for text.

I am a long term Firefox user and I am happy using Firefox on my computers and would prefer to use it on Android instead of Brave browser. But the text size discrepancy is a problem because on a folding phone, you are bound to using both screens (that is the point of a having an outer screen), and I can't use Firefox in ideal conditions.


Thank you for your attention and have a nice day!

Firefox version: 130.0 Android version: 14 One UI version: 6.1.1
