Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hey, I'm writing to you with a request, could you add an option to your browser because currently, when you turn on YouTube in the Fire Fox application for example and start a movie, it automatically stops after the screen turns on, and could you add an option that would allow you to turn off this automatic stopping of the movie after the screen turns off in the settings? I was thinking about changing the browser to Brave because there is such an option there, but I got attached to Fire Fox and I feel safer there, so please consider my proposal for a new option.

When expanding the comments in an arstechica.com article with Firefox settings/accessibility/automatic font sizing switched on, frequently the font used is very large. A page refresh usually fixes the problem and the font return to the expected size.

I have also seen the same problem at www.theguardian.com.

I do not see this problem if automatic font sizing switched off.

I've attached 2 screenshots. In the example with the larger font, I had scrolled to the bottom of the article and clicked on the comments button to open the comments, then took the screenshot. Then I refreshed the page and took another screenshot.

Is this a known problem?

When you have the 'Open links in apps' setting turned on, clicking a link will open the app but also open the link in browser as well. This is annoying because if I'm searching for something and switching back to the browser, I have to click back every time to go back to the search results.

- This is a problem on Firefox Beta for Android - I have a Pixel 8a - It works fine on standard Firefox for Android - It is not specific to one app - The open in app part works fine. It's just the browser shouldn't also go to the website at the same time.

Hello

I have a small niche non critical issue with setting my own search engine in the FF mobile app. Looks like it's doing a test to see if the URL is reachable, but gets rejected because of authentication.

It did not prompt for credentials, just immediately fails which prevented me from setting it.. Now I am self hosting a SearXNG search engine behind a reverse proxy (Nginx) with basic HTTP authentication, so I do have the power to disable it for a minute just to set the engine correctly and re-enabling it again.. After that, when trying to search for something after a session ends, it did prompt me for credentials and worked pretty well after that!

So see, this is very niche, but do prevented me from setting my own engine. It will be a show stopper for those who want to use such engine (with any authentication) but do not self host it...

Thanks a bunch Roy
