Hello. When I look up a word at a Merriam-Webster site like https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ or https://www.merriam-webster.com/ with the Android version of Firefox, it cannot play the pronunciation of the word correctly especially after it is played once. It is kind of divided in segments with abrupt stops. In other words it is not played smoothly.

This has been being continuing for a few months now, and updating Firefox has not improved. I think it is a bug, but I do not know how to report it. Does anyone know how?

Can I undo the "optimize for mobile" setting for my tablet? I'd like the pages to work more like they do on my computer than on my phone.

When I first started using my tablet, the browser seemed to function as it does on my computer. For example, Facebook messages would open within the Facebook page. Now, I have to open the Facebook messenger app for those messages. I'd rather not have to do that. I'm thinking I may have clicked a button to optimize for mobile, but I can't figure out how to undo that. Please help.

Thank you.

Google Business Review link not working on mobile

For my business profile on Google, there is an option to generate and share a link to clients that allows them, with one tap, to navigate to the page for writing a Google Review.

I hyperlinked this url into some text and a png of a thumbs up icon in the body of an email in Gmail.

On Firefox Desktop (and other browsers including mobile Samsung Internet), there's no problem. The link takes me right to the page.

On mobile, the link throws a 404 error.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 Android 14 Firefox Version 133.0.3 Cleared cache Does not work in private tabs either

Here are those details:

Review Link generated by Google: https://g.page/r/CZU9ZqRULlsREAE/review

Link I get when I send the email to myself and click on the text or image: https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/meips/ADKq_NYjIs6gPJtMZZ9_PVVs93qcPTvn8WnbMwzTz35PpM6sMZTPVGixOtD2Rhuv4fJ13I7TrsKkVfw_XdcZ3pzY0DQ223tkm6n03QN9sAN-s7T857aqdTp0I2CSwoI8K5tdEW9BtElr29F7uLjXZ_Psnv5CODjRSL51HwY=s0-d-e1-ft#https://mcusercontent.com/0f7c1c8a488a71bbf311193b0/images/cd9d6dd3-c126-8a4d-0664-ed11b413b61f.png

I've reached out to Google for help, but they simply told me to use other browsers. Since I can't control which browsers my clients use, and because I want this to be as easy and direct as possible, I have settled to include instructions in the email for Firefox users to click on a hyperlink that takes them to the business page, rather than the review-writing page directly, for now.

In the meantime, does anyone know what's going on here and how to resolve this issue?

Thanks very much. Jake

Firefox functional issues on two Android devices regularly

For almost a year now I've been experiencing constant locking up of certain functions on Firefox for Android at the start of a browsing session. Sometimes this also happens mid-session with certain websites (mostly noticed with 9gag and Reddit).

The failure takes the following form:

  • The current page usually fails to load. Or, it appears to load but is not scrollable. Simple pages may be fully scrollable but links or buttons will not work.
  • Tab cannot be changed either through the swipe gesture or the selection menu.
  • Settings menu can be opened and settings can be changed - this includes extensions management as well.
  • If the current tab is closed in the tab selection menu the purple selection box will disappear along with the tab and no new tab can be selected.
  • After 2-3 minutes all of the tab-related actions will suddenly update at once.

Over the past few months I have discovered two ways to work around this incredibly frustrating persistent issue.

  • Open Extensions, disable or enable an extension, then exit the extension management
  • Open About:Memory and trigger a GC cleanup
  • Minimizing and reopening the app has no effect
  • Shutting down and launching the app has no effect
  • Restarting the device and launching the app has no effect
  • Performing a memory cleanup in Android settings has no effect.

Leaving the device alone for 15-30 minutes seems to make it eligible to re-trigger. This problem is intermittent (not occurring every time) but consistent in its symptoms.

I experience this issue at least once a day on two devices, but much more commonly on my Samsung A9 tablet with 8GB of memory compared to an Android smartphone with 4GB of memory. I suspect this may have something to do with site memory being held onto or being kept active which is blocking navigation until it gets cleaned up or is refreshed, but I have no idea.
