Firefox vir Android Community Forum

I download pictures frequently and have noticed an issue with Firefox. It appears that Firefox is accessing my files and replacing random pictures I had previously organized in my Pictures folder. Even though I declined the permission for Firefox to access my pictures, it somehow still reads my files and replacing them it likes to. How can I stop this behavior? It doesn’t happen with other browsers.

There is an easy way to replicate this issue on the Firefox release, beta, and nightly versions:

1. Download a picture.

2. Move the picture to any folder within the Pictures folder.

3. Redownload the same picture again.

4. Click "Open" directly and open in Google Photos.

5. Click the three dots in the top-right corner to confirm the file's location.

You will see that Firefox knows the new file location and opens it from there. This indicates that Firefox is accessing file information directly because the "Open" function wouldn’t work if a third-party app was responsible for managing it.

Hello guys !!

As the title says is there any way to do that ?? It's possible on Nightly for android and of course on desktop but on the stable and beta on android not.

On the Nightly there is an option that can you disable called "Suggestions from Firefox Nightly". On the Stable and Beta this option is missing.

In the picture is what im talking about. The bar thingy in the picture was always conveniently at the top of my screen but suddenly this evening it is down there. I've tried to search in the settings and online how to change it back but I couldn't find anything. I hope you can help me get the bar thingy back to the top.

Hi,

I am not very technical and have just started using Firefox as my browser.

I need help please.

Can any tell me how long Firefox keeps browsing history for, I can't find a straightforward answer on the web.

As I say I am not very technical so any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Paul

Google maps does not work even tho both the browser and gmaps site have location access and location is turned on . The problem is with firefox for android (stable version 133) . It has been like this for sometime i thought I'd just wait for it to fix itself but that's obviously not happening . Infinite loading or location not detected error . Have tried running with all protections and extension off . Do any of you have this issue ? Is there a way to fix it ? is the issue already acknowledged and worked on ?

I have opted to create collections in the pocket app, not tags. When I save an article I would like to see the option to save it to a collection. I now won't be able to tell which articles are in a collection. Also, on the saves page, I only see 3 collections listed, where I created more than 3. I don't see a way o select the other collections.

PS love pocket to read on my new kobo. Valeria

I love the app but would ask that the search widget be non-forced when I install firefox as I find it invasive and If I want to look for something I open firefox so I have moved it to a screen I never go to , also I set most of my apps to close on lock screen and I find I continually get notified of firefox being closed even though I don't open it ????

Hi there! I'm a mostly happy user of Firefox on Android, except for one thing: Firefox seems to be bad at being content with cached data for offline reading.

I have a lot of tabs open, often in reader mode, which I like to bring up when I'm out and about. I frequently switch between browser and other apps. I also often use reader mode. Firefox has the unfortunate desire to reload a tab when I switch to it, even when there's no connectivity (i.e. I'm in the subway). This means I have to react quickly to the browser's loading attempt and cancel it, or the cached content will be dropped and I'll be told there is no connection (Duh, I don't care! Just show me the cache). Many other times though, tabs that were there in the cache won't open at all because Firefox will try to connect immediately... and fail. Did the cache get dropped or something?

Is there anything I can do about it?

I'd like to know what can be done, if any, about the suggestion forms which don't work in Firefox. Every single browser other than Firefox has this thing working perfectly, which is insane. For example if I open Partsouq and I introduce a few VIN numbers in the search box there, those numbers get remembered and later on when I go back there to check a new car part, ilI can juat start typing the first few letter and a suggestion popup would give me ths rest of the VIN, making my life easier in the process. This doesn't work in Firefox. Is there a particular reason this is broken or maybe considered useless? Or maybe there's a flag that needs to be modified to allow this festure to be activated? I'll post 2 screenshots. One will show how it looks in Chrome, where the suggestions work fine and the other shows Firefox which looks as if I hadn't introduced those numbers on there ever before. What can be done about it?
