My phone carrier alerted me that my 15gb of data had all been used up, which was surprising considering I've been mostly at home on Wi-Fi and don't ever reach my limit even when I'm traveling.

I looked at what was using the data. To my surprise, it seems like Firefox Focus had inexplicably burned through 10gb (!) of data in the background over the last day without any tabs even open.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there an explanation for what's happening?

I'm concerned about it continuing, obviously, but also concerned it might represent a security breach on my phone somehow.

In the meantime, I've disabled the Firefox Focus app's permission to run data in the background. Not sure if that will solve the issue. I also noticed that it does not seem to have been burning data on Wi-Fi.

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry for the question, usually this is something easy to fix on a PC or phone, but I'm on my tablet (Samsung, android) and somehow none of the settings available here, offer a solution in lowering the font size on my screen. I've looked at YouTube videos, gone into reddit and even asked Google, yet all the answers are somewhat the same but cannot be found while I'm on this tablet. I need help please!!! 😫

Hey guys,

I'm using firefox mobile on a lenovo p11 tablet with android 11. Yesterday, everything was fine. This morning I'm opening firefox and every site I visit is huge. Like, really huge. It looks like it is zoomed in, but the max zoom out state is still huge.

It turns out that desktop mode doesn't work anymore, because firefox 133 was installed overnight on my tablet. If you toggle it in the 3 dot menu, the site just reloads but if you check the menue after that it's deactivated again. This happens with the new option (always load desktop mode under website settings) on and off.

Most mobile sites are terrible on tablets since most of the screen real estate is completely wasted by way too big fonts, sidebars, etc.

Is there a workaround for this?

Also, is this a known issue, or should I report it on bugzilla or something?

Cheers

when I type in the address bar to go to a new page, the new page either doesn't load at all or loads briefly then goes back to the page that was previously loaded in that tab. the only way to go to a new page is to open a new tab (or close all tabs then open tab 1). is this how it's supposed to work? because this isn't how any browser has ever worked LOL. if it's not expected, how do I fix it?

apologies if already asked but I didn't see it.

Hi, my browser on my tablet keeps making all tabs stuck in desktop mode with no way to turn it off. It started happening today when it updated to the latest Firefox Android 133. The desktop mode toggle is set to off, and when I click it it still is set to off and it's still in Desktop mode. When I copy the URL to another tab I can turn desktop mode off, but that gets reset to on whenever the browser is killed in the background.

I've tried force closing the app and clearing cache, any help would be appreciated.

Suddenly when using Google on my tablet the search results have become too small to read I see no way of adjusting this apart. from zooming with my fingers. I have played with accessiblity settings and reinstalled without success. Other sites seem OK and Chrome works well too. I see from the various support forums that this has happened regularly in the past but no one comes up with a good answer. I don't want to dump Firefox.

My Firefox for Android has gone nuts. Everything shows in tiny fonts and all formatting has been lost. By that I mean that entire web pages are now showing where previously only pertinent sections were showing.

I've attached a screen shot of my Yahoo email page. Previously only the inbox showed with 20 emails to a page. Now the whole page shows. I have no idea what changed, or what I inadvertently changed, to get this result.
