When is Firefox for Android going to support bookmark folders???

As in bookmarking into a specific folder, or moving a bookmark from one folder to another. Chrome has had this feature for long over a year now, but I don't want to use Chrome; I like Firefox.
Thanks in advance. I'm just wondering. Maybe there's something the matter that I'm not aware of, but it just seems like that's a basic bookmarking function that I would think Mozilla would have implemented by now for mobile.

hello Seib, this is certainly on the wish-list of things to implement in the browser - but development on it hasn't started yet, so it isn't possible to give a time-frame for such a feature unfortunately.
for progress on the subject you can also follow along bug #972193 (but please don't post in bug reports)....

When will Firefox for Android - Intel powered phones be launched?

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 the "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" in Firefox for Android?

Due to the security concerns from Heartbleed and Steve Gibson's excellent coverage on certification revocation, I have set "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" on my desktop Firefox and now want to do the same on Firefox for Android. I cannot find anything in the settings menu to allow this. Is it done through about:config and if so, what is the setting name there?

hello mcvickerp, in about:config you can switch the setting "security.OCSP.require" to true.

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

Why does Firefox for android spring open when I clear notifications or open files?

Motorola Moto G
Latest Firefox for android
Android KitKat
Why does Firefox spring open, even after I quit, because I have cleared notifications or opened a file I downloaded. I have double checked Firefox is NOT set to open images or videos automatically, es

ES File Manager is my default player for almost all media. Firefox is not set to default.
Here is a step by step.
I see a picture I like so I download it. Firefox has now sent me a notification that the download is complete. After eventually closing the browser, I then clear notifications. Upon doing so, Firefox opens, regardless of whether it was running in the background or truly closed.
Thanks

Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

Last 5 crash IDs:
bp-43cc9bd8-40cb-4642-a3d5-d23992140505
bp-0e60a038-178e-45ee-9e83-208622140504

Is there a possibility to download files directly to the external usb drive in Firefox for Android?

I have the Android device that support external usb hard drive, when I want to download some files via Firefox there are only two possible "places" where I can put the files - external memory or SD card. It will be nice if there would be an option to save file on ext. usb drive.

Hi Nix_N1:
Yeah I don't know about this and I don't have an Android device that supports USB storage.
What Android device are you using and what operating system (Jellybean? Ice Cream sandwich ?)
I asked the Mozilla QA folks and they said Firefox for Android uses the Android platform download directory so the USB drive *should* show up if it registers properly with Android.
They suggested the following:
# removing the SD card and seeing if it shows up in place of the SD card.
# perhaps changing the following preference (type "about:config" in the url bar without the quotation marks)
''' browser.download.dir'''
will fix it ('''WARNING:untested and unsupported but hopefully this might help''')
Regardless I suggest filing a bug at (I looked but couldn't find a bug that corresponds to this):

How do I disable the tab with 'Firefox for Android' advertisement ? It is freaking me out

Every time I open the Firefox browser, a new tab opens up with the ad suggesting me to try Firefox for android mobile. This is additional tab along with my regular home tab. My browser version is Firefox funnel cake 22.0 . It is freaking me out as this happens every time I open the browser. Provide me a solution or tell me to switch to a different browser. I mean who is the dumb idiot who suggested this idea ? Really ?? you want the add to stay there and irritate users everytime they open it ?

Try to change your new tab by going to about:config, and in that address bar type in browser.newtab.url, right click it, and then hit modify. There will be a window that pops up that will let you type in the address you want to show up in your new tabs. There also might be a warning when going to about:config, but just accept it if it's there.

Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan:
Thanks for the developer tools feature request
This is a user support forum not a developer tools forum therefore I am locking this thread.
Please file your developer tools feature request on the developer tools uservoice at:

How do I keep my tabs open in Firefox for Android?

Sometimes when I open Firefox for Android my tabs will disappear and I will need to scroll to the bottom of "Recent Tabs" and press "Open All." How do I set it so that my tabs stay open? This closing seems to happen every day or two and it means I need to keep reopening all my tabs. They shouldn't close unless I close them.

Hello there,
Try going to: Firefox Menu > Settings > Customize > Tabs to 'Always restore'.
Hope this helps!

How do you quit or close Firefox for Android

How do you quit or close Firefox for Android ?

hi John009, you could close firefox like any other android app by going to the task switcher/recent apps list and swiping away the application...
http://www.wikihow.com/Close-Apps-on-Android
alternatively when you have set firefox to clear your private data when you exit it within its settings, there will be a dedicated "quit" button shown within the firefox app menu.

Hi, is there plans Firefox for Android to work with .p12 certificates like desktop versions for Windows, MAC and Linux?

I used Firefox 26 at Android 4.2.1 and try to sign docs in bank application but receive a message ”window.crypto Error:undefined, TypeError: window.crypto.signText is not a function”.

Hello Philipp, thank you for your answer.
I used this addon and i have certificate in the browser, i can choose it, but when try to sign docs with it, i receive this message ”window.crypto Error:undefined, TypeError: window.crypto.signText is not a function”.
My be 'window.crypto.signText' function is not supported in Firefox for Android, so question is there plans browser to work with this function or how it can be enabled.

Firefox for Android makes a hash of ABC iView

I tried to watch a video on Firefox for Android on my new Superpad 6 (Flytouch 6) running Android 4 last night. It insisted on loading its own iView app and then made a complete hash of presenting the video. Full screen gave a blank picture with sound. Upon pressing the back button I got a picture but when going back to select a different program the screen had zoomed in and would not un-zoom. I switched over to the browser that came installed on with the unit - which from the icon appears to be Quick ICS browser - and ABC iView worked perfectly without the need to load any sub-application that Firefox required.

You can use the 'request desktop site' option in Firefox's menu.
