A lot of feedback on Firefox Android

mobilens — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 11:39:21 GMT

I've been using Firefox for Android for many years, and since I have a lot of feedback I'd like to share, I'm posting it here.

1. Unable to export bookmarks to a file

While importing bookmarks is possible, exporting is not, making it difficult to retrieve data when there are a large number of bookmarks.

2. Unable to select items by long-pressing bookmarks during a search

It is only possible to open the items displayed in search results, so these items cannot be edited or deleted.

3. Unable to limit bookmark searches to the currently open folder

Searching is only possible across all bookmarks, making it impossible to find bookmarks within a specific folder.

4. Status bar color does not change

In private browsing, the status bar color does not change to match the tab, causing burn-in in the status bar area over time and making the boundary visibly stand out.

5. Unable to select which data to sync before syncing

It is inconvenient because items I do not wish to sync are automatically synchronized when initially signing in.

6. about:translations is unavailable

The page cannot be opened, so it cannot be used to translate anything other than web pages.

7. Feature to translate audio and display live transcription

It would be convenient to have transcriptions of foreign-language audio and videos translated by an offline AI model.

8. Feature to save comments for bookmarks and passwords

There are cases where I would like to leave comments or notes on saved items.

9. Processes in the previous tab stop when switching tabs

I have encountered an issue where the sign-in process does not proceed if I switch to another tab while signing into a website.

10. Unstable behavior in desktop mode

Although functional, it becomes unstable when opening multiple windows, resizing windows, or playing videos in fullscreen.

Thank you!

> Unable to export bookmarks to a file

Brave and Vivaldi both offer this; the fact Firefox doesn't is the biggest reason I rarely use their Android app.

> Unable to limit bookmark searches to the currently open folder

This is also true of the desktop version: if you go to Menu -> Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks and then select a folder, any search performed is still always global, not from the selected folder downwards.
