  1. 1- last week Firefox was blocking me from accessing certain sites that I always go to.
  1. 2- I cannot access about:config. I've tried signed in and out as well as with different search engines and I just get a blank screen. Help?
  1. 3- is it normal for FF to have permission to download files without notifying? I checked the permission list and seemed like there is alot of dangerous and malicious permission allowed as system permissions. Please help?
  1. 4- when I log in and check devices, 2 new logins show up. One says my phone's model # and the second one says logged into Firefox browser or something like that. Is it normal to have duplicates like that when I only use my Android phone?
  1. 5- I've tried and cannot find any way to login to my network or make any network changes? Please help?

I commented on play store and was told to send my question on here so they could be investigated more. Thank you for your help.

Hi Ryan

I hope I can help.

  1. Do you have an example of a site that you cannot access?
  2. About:config is available in the Beta and Nightly versions of Firefox for Android available from the Google Play store.
  3. If downloads were blocked, I am sure it would make life unpleasant for many people. Assuming standard settings have not been changed, the ability to download a malicious app (the greater risk on Android) should still be blocked.
  4. Yes, this happens from time to time as Firefox Sync is further improved. You can remove surplus devices at https://accounts.firefox.com, looking under "Connected Services".
  5. I am not sure what you mean. If your Android device connected to WiFi?
