Why doesn't Firefox for Android support 32/24-bit colour? When will it be enabled? Why isn't it an option?

Can anybody explain why this isn't an option? 16-bit colour has massive amounts of banding and it would very nice if there was at least an option to toggle between 16-bit and 24/32-bit colour.

If that's the case make an optional toggle so I can turn it on a fast device such as my HTC One X and turn it off on slower devices.
Frankly put all the browsers I've tried use 32/24 bit colour whereas firefox is the only browser that I've tired that dosen't use the higher bit depth so at the moment I'm forced to use dolphin and so are many others who ask me for browser recommendations. I would prefer to use firefox but I can't at the moment until this is changed. I'm not the only one either.
Anyways keep up the good work mates!

  • Why won't Firefox for Android on my Kindle Fire HD play YouTube videos?

    The default browser (Silk) on the Kindle Fire HD plays YouTube videos. Both Firefox for Android and Silk obviously use the same operating system and hardware. What needs to be done to/with the Firefox for Android browser so that it will play YouTube videos. Firefox on my desktop machine plays YouTube videos.

    There is the old insecure Flash 11.1 Plugin that Adobe (and Google Play) has not supported since Android 4.0. As long as you have Android 4.3 or older then you can get the Flash plugin to work in manual install though Android 4.4 has made it so Flash will not work.
    However Mozilla has made a workaround for Flash can still work in Firefox on Android 4.4 in as early as Firefox 27.0 if I recall.
    There is this thread on getting Flash installed however the poster mentions Dolphin and not Firefox instead.
    http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=TxTR71JR4GVXQM
    Not that some sites (News sites are among some I encountered) have since lately been requiring users using Flash 11.1 on Android, PlayBook and Flash 11.2.x on Linux to upgrade to more current (not possible) to view their Flash videos.

  • Does Firefox for Android support drop-down list?

    Some desktop version websites extensively use drop-down list on the navigation menubar. But the annoying thing about this is in current Firefox, I can't find a way to expand the list items only without also triggering the link right onto the caption of the list, thus jumping to the next page immediately. If there's indeed a way around that, how to do it?

    The OS doesn't support hovering?
    Huh, In this case you devs are not at fault here.
    That being said, it sounds really ridiculous that you guys made a web browser that can't do anything of a particular desktop function. If you guys want some implementing suggestion, Consider these 2:
    1. Hold the Caption link on a dropdown menu, make the context menu appear, add another item at the bottom like "expand the menu" or something akin to that. tap it to expand the menu.
    2. Single tap to expend the menu regardless of the link below, tap the same place again to access the link, tap anywhere else aside the menu to retract it.

  • Norton Confidential no longer supports Firefox for Mac version 16.0.1. When will this be rectified?

    So I have switched back to using Safari.

    Can you ask this question to norton support too...As far as we know Norton support Firefox 16.

  • Firefox doesn't detect text field on flash content in the Firefox for Android browser

    Using the latest Firefox for Android from Google PlayStore as of 04/19/2013.
    Installed Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.54).
    Logged in with my account on www.chatango.com, which is a pure flash based site.
    I can't type into the text field because the keypad doesn't popup when clicked on the field.

    No, you have to click on "Login" and get in with your credentials. And then try sending someone a message. You won't be given a keypad to type with when you click on the input field. Why are you trying to do "Create A Public Group"? That wasn't what I meant when I wrote "Logged in with my account".

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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 can't I install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini? According to Antutu Benchmark system info, it has a ARM v7 CPU, so it should be compatible...

    When I try to install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini (XT320), Google Play Store tells me that my device is not compatible with Firefox for Android,so I cannot install it; according to Antutu Benchmark system info, the Motorola Defy Mini has an Arm v7 CPU installed, so it should be compatible with Firefox for Android...

    Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

  • 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).

  • Firefox for Android will not play mp3

    Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
    Alexander

    Hello,
    I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
    I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
    If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
    [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
    But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why doesn't apple's safari support asp on internet pages?

    I wonder why doesn't apple's safari support asp?
    I am a new mac osx lion user for 6 six months. I'm not a computer speciallist but I know asp is widely used in the world since long time. this prevents me entering data and creating reports on many governmental, commercial and social internet sites. I'm realy fed up with that.
    there may be some technical and stability issues but this prevents mac osx lion users from doing their work. Apple has to listen us. we want asp.

    Hi...
    Try using a different browser like Firefox or Chrome.

  • How to exctract/backup a client certificate from Firefox for Android similar to question #1000240 but for the latest Firefox Beta for Android?

    As in #1000240 and in #1032181, I've installed a StartSSL login certificate in my Firefox for Android and having a problem with extracting/backuping it to use with another device/browser.
    I'm using the latest Firefox Beta for Android (35.0) at present; the Android version is 4.1.2, my phone model is Sony LT26i (Xperia S), so neither of the aforementioned questions asked at the Mozilla Support website do not contain any solution to the given problem.
    Any chance to recover the certificate?
    P. S. I haven't rooted my device; if getting a root is the only possible way to recover the certificate, I may consider doing so.

    You can try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/ If that does not retrieve the file then see below.
    If you know the name and path of the file you can get it using run-as function of adb. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18471780/android-adb-retrieve-database-using-run-as
    If you end up down here you'll need root to be able to navigate the file system. I don't know the file name, though it is likely in your profile folder which can be determined by visiting about:cache in the Firefox address bar. It will be similar to /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/$RANDOM.default/

  • 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):
