What did you glue sniffing monkeys do to my phone? Firefox for Android automatically updated without my approval/permission and now I can't set a @#$%ing homepage. WTF? Is there any way to revert to the old version? What possible reason can you offer me for eliminating the ability to set a homepage? Also is there any way to disable updates? I used to think that you guys were the best but with this kind of authoritarian BS I envision uninstalling this crap and using another browser. Again, what possible reason can you offer me for these changes? It has to be money, right? It is disgusting

Brave is a far superior app and it allows me to be in charge of my own device. You people need to lay off the glue

Hi

We’re sorry that you’re unhappy with the new Firefox. The user interface is a big change but was necessary based on collective feedback so far. We are continually working to improve it and hope you will continue using it and providing feedback that will help us make Firefox better.

You are turning into Microsoft. No choice regarding updates. No choice regarding setup. No choice regarding features. I am happy that your "superior intellect" (*extreme sarcasm) rules the day and made changes "necessary". I can not think of one thing on this planet that I hate more than someone else thinking for me. Go masturbate to your "superior intellect".

I would REALLY like to know how I can successfully stop or block Firefox Android updates! As with many of you, their changes are really pissing me off!

Hey Mark. I researched Android browsers and decided on Brave. It also provides good privacy and has worked very well for me so far. And it provides some of the options/features/user controls that you would expect from developers who have half a brain.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request for Firefox and other Mozilla products. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
