Firefox for Android slower, on page loading, than desktop version on the same hardware?

I did test Firefox for linux paralel to the Android version on the same tablet, in the exact same time.
Mobile version: 22.0 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Desktop version: 11.0 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux; armv7l; rev:11.0) Geko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Mobile version starts, indeed, faster (2-3s vs 7-10s) but page loading looks like it's being strangled by something.
Unlike desktop version, which, with it's rendering issues - I'm running it on top of an X11 framebuffer,
the mobile version can take up to 2 minutes to load a webpage like plus.google.com.
The Desktop version, running on the same tablet and taking cpu time along Android, takes less than one minute. I'm convinced it would be 2-3x faster running alone and even faster if the gpu would do the rendering.
On other pages the difference is even more striking...
And it‘s obviousv that it is not a rendering issue but a data transfer bottleneck.
Any idea on closing the gap on page loading times between the two, not involving slowing down the desktop version? :)
My hardware specs: Allview branded ly-f1 tablet, 1GHz Cortex A8, 1Gb DDR3 RAM, 8Gb internal nand flash
Android 4.1.1 and Ubuntu 12.04 lts compiled with hardfloat for armv7.
My internet connection being a 50Mb/s optical routed to a 802.11n 150Mb/s wifi router.
I would love to switch to Ubuntu only but I cant do that yet... Mali400 and cedarX still puzzle me and fellow linux geeks...

Launch Pages.
From the Pages menu bar click Pages > About Pages
The latest version available is 5.0.1
If it's 5.0.1, your currently installed copy of Pages is up to date.

Firefox for Android slow and crashes frequently

my phone is a Motorola RAZR Maxx HD with Android 4.1.2 from Verizon. I've been using Firefox on my PC for years and would really like to use it on my phone, but I've about had it. Its constantly crashing and running slow. I kill tasks, and it still runs slow. Reboot the phone and still same issues. If I open chrome, it runs great. Pages load fast and it never locks up. What's going on and can I fix it? I really don't want to switch to Chrome because I really like the Sync function.

All those crashes are rather old. The first two are crashes in random parts of Android OS. The other is a JavaScript crash that is known.

Is is possible you were experiencing hangs? Something like http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-gourmetandroid/image001.jpg ?

More than one version of the same widget

How do I specify the CSS attributes if I want more than one
version of each widget in the same site?
Say, for example, I want two variations of VTabs with
different sized Tabs (and other attributes), what's the easiest way
of specifying the variations?
Chris

The orginals for those classnames stay the same, Spry will
use your defined classnames instead of using the hard coded
classes.
This only counts for the:
-tabHoverClass
-panelVisibleClass
-tabSelectedClass
-tabFocusedClass
U can just replace the classnames for all other atributes
with your desired classes.
Just remember for each new tabpanel u will have to create a
new tabpanel constructor:
var TabbedPanels1 = new
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("UNIQUE-ID-HERE");
I suggest u read this:

And check the samples:

Firefox (for android) takes forever to load or doesn't load at all

Firefox will not load or takes forever to load (i.e. up to 3 or 4 minutes) mostly, I get an "unable to connect" "offline mode" error. Other apps that use data are able to connect to the network, but FF...not so much.
I'm on a Nexus 5 running kk 4.4.2

fixed the "offline mode" problem by following the about:config directions
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962245]
unfortunately, pages still take so long to load it basically renders Firefox useless.

When I open Firefox, I get my home page and a new tab at the same time. Why the new tab also? Make it stop!

How may I set up Firefox so that when I launch the browser I get only my home page, and not an additional web page? Thank you

The MySearchDial extension has been reported to cause this issue.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I have been using Firefox for years. I just downloaded your newest version. The new version shows to be downloaded successfully, but when I click Firefox Icon, I get a window that is called "Offline mode"

It states, "Firefox is curerntly in offline mode and cona't browse the web. It says to uncheck the "work offline" menu item.

See:
*File > [ ] Work Offline
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

I just bought a new 'Android' tablet, installed 'Firefox For Android' but cannot find the proper log-in button.

Android 4.4.2. New tablet. Unknown Firefox or other ad-ons.

Firefox for Android doesn't have a traditional desktop-style home page, but instead shows a "Top Sites" screen based on your history. You can search from the address bar and start bookmarking sites important to you.
Now... regarding logging it, are you trying to log in to the Firefox Sync service to get data from your desktop browser, or log in to your email site, or something else?

Can I install ssl certificates in Firefox for android 4.0 tablets?

I need to Know if I can install ssl certificates in Firefox for android 4.0 tablets?
I did it with the laptop Firefox for windows 7 and I am using al time but I need to travel with my samsung tablet and use my ssl certificate to acces my bank account. I dont know if the android version of firefox have advance options to configure my certificate.

Visit a website that provides the cert and then you should be prompted to install it. As of right now the feature is in Firefox Beta from the Play Store if you want a more polished version.

If I update to new Firefox Synch, will I loose data in Firefox for Android?

My laptop was recently stolen, it had Firefox with the old version of Synch. I still have my Android with Firefox and Synch set up. On my new laptop, I am not able to synch my bookmarks and data because it has the new version of Firefox Synch. If I go through the process of disconnecting Synch accounts and re-synching my data between browsers as directed in support solutions, will I loose the data that is still in my Firefox for Android? How can I recover my data from the old Synch account so that my Firefox data is restored on my new laptop?

''kbrosnan [[#answer-712654|said]]''
<blockquote>
Sync accounts do not affect your profile data. You can safely switch between the two of them. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync
</blockquote>
The instructions that you refer to say "in order to create a Firefox account and sign in to the new Sync you'll have to unlink all of your current devices from the old version of Sync." If I set it up with the same email address as before, will it maintain the original data (bookmarks, etc) and Synch all of that on all the devices?

I downloaded Firefox for Android on my Galaxy Tablet 7.0. The browser works fine when I first open it. When not in use and try getting bk on, nothing loads up.

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0
I have downloaded Firefox for Android on my tablet and added some add ons. When first using the browser, it works great and loads up fast. Once I get off Internet and try getting back on at a later time(whether it be a minute or longer), I type in a Web page address and nothing loads up. How can I fix this.

How do I set a home page in Firefox for Android

I want iGoogle to open when I load Firefox.

Hi DOUGM500049, 
I think this will be a change on Firefox for Android 20. Currently, you can make a bookmark to your preferred page and open Firefox with it.
 
For more info on how to do this, check "How do I add a bookmark to my device's home screen?" section in this article: [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

How can I stop firefox for android from increasing font sizes on some pages?

I try to get my browser to show websites exactly as they would look in my Firefox for desktop pcs. Checking "show desktop version" helps, but still, on many sites the font size is almost doubled compared to my laptop's browser. a good example would be the amazon site. Not only the font size but the whole layout seems bigger, although both my laptop any my tablet have the same screen resolution. Changing the text size setting to tiny didn't have an impact on any site at all.
Also, is there a way to manually zoom in/out of a website like strg+ -/+ in the normal firefox does?

This is an interesting one. I'm not a web developer so others will be able to give a more thorough answer but I think the thing is that the navigator.userAgent is not the only source of information about your device available to the site.
Recently user agent sniffing has become less popular because browsers tend to catch each other up and, for example, you don't want to force IE10 users to view a web page designed to get around lacking features in IE6. See the following links for more info on this:
* http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/detect-browser/
* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8970800/is-server-side-useragent-detection-bad
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent
I expect what is happening is that the site is instead using feature detection of some kind and is varying the images served based on the features it can detect rather than the useragent string of the browser you are using.
As far as I can tell there is no setting in Firefox for Android that is default-zooming in on desktop websites. It just displays what the site provides.

Firefox for android doesn't load all my passwords and corrupts bookmarks

Firefox for Android doesn't load all my passwords on my tablet (Lenovo).
Also, syncing corrupts my bookmarks on my desktop and laptop by inserting bookmarks which I have deleted days ago..
It syncs through all three devices and I know that it syncs because when I sync from my desktop, all three devices have the same time-stamp of when they synced.
It seems as though, if you have two usernames/passwords for the same login address, such as 2 Gmails - there is no dropdown which shows both emails/passwords from which to choose from.
This is all very frustrating, especially when I'm out and only have my tablet and I need to login somewhere when I'm with a client, and I can't login because Firefox/Android doesn't show my login info or the bookmark that I need is not there, because my bookmarks are corrupted after a sync.
I have lost clients because of this.

Hi modularbase.
I understand that there are some issues with sync between three devices. Specifically, there is an issue with corrupt bookmarks and passwords that are not stored.
Please make sure these settings are set:
* [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]] * [[Usernames and passwords are not saved]]
* [[Using Master Password on Firefox for Android]]- the password manager addon for mobile devices may benefit in this situation.
However on mobile, specifically for Gmail signin, accounts.google.com can store a few mail accounts, however you would have to add an account by clicking on "Sign in with a different account". In Firefox, passwords are stored by website in the password manager.
