On Firefox 34.0.1 for android running 4.3 JellyBean, why flash content appears as a gray?
I usually have no problem using Firefox on my phone. I have a M7 a HTC with Android OS 4.3. As you may know, this phone came pre installed with Adobe flash. I would use my native browser but Lookout attracted my attention to a vulnerability on android for OS 4.3 and below browsers. For this reason, I installed Firefox. When it came to playing flash content, I had no problem, the consultation through Firefox. A few weeks ago I started noticing problems with flash content. I thought that I needed to update to Firefox, so I did. I always had the same problem. I also "forcibly closed", restarted the phone, deleted the data and conducted a uninstall/reinstall. Nothing has worked. Also, I have advanced and updated my flash player to the most recent available. That did not work either. I decided to test Firefox on my old HTC EVO 4 G with Android OS 2.3.5. Believe it or not, the same problem occurs there so I KNOW there must be something with Firefox. Firefox changed something recently that causes this problem? Is there something that can be done to solve this problem? I even tried to install an older version of Firefox (32 & 33) and always had the same problem. Someone please help.
It should be fixed now https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1112086#c23

After syncing my device android on my desk, one of my bookmark directories has been duplicated without entries, and the original moved with number of deleted entries. It can be recovered?
Thanks for any help.Hi rickinseattle,
Thank you for your question. I understand that you want to recover some missing bookmarks. Please see these steps in troubleshooting for more information http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks.
However, please also take note that next week there will be an update to version 29 and there will be a new synchronization! Synchronize your bookmarks, Firefox, history, passwords, etc. Please also save the user profile, or you can use Xmarks to synchronize between browsers too!

Then, even when I load Web sites (like those that we here at my work have created) with very simple HTML and absolutely nothing Flash related, I always get a pop-up asking me to install flash (pop down from the URL bar on the left.) How can I stop this without disable all updates of plug-in?
Also, why in the name of all that is good it wonder on Flash when I have no pages open with anything remotely Flash like on them?
Thanks to anyone who can answer.
my thought was that maybe an extension is inserting the flash code in each page visited...

Firefox for Android only displays the desktop version of gmail rather than mobile.
Android only question.
I prefer to access gmail via a browser rather than the gmail app. Tests of other browsers on Android (Chrome and Dolphin) I see that they display a mobile-specific version of the gmail Web site.
Firefox for Android only displays the version of office on my Nexus 7 (5.1 runs Android 2012) - and therefore more difficult to read and use. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Well, Yes, it's that Word annoying Tablet.
What I'm going to describe is difficult to type, so I hope that you can open this page on your tablet.
Select (0) and copy the following text on your Tablet if possible to avoid the excesses of type:
general.useragent.override.mail.google.com Android; Tablet;#Android; Mobile;
The forum linkifies this first part, but it is not supposed to be a link.
(1) open a new tab to Subject: config (type about: config the Awesomebar and hit the arrow go or tap Enter).
You can bookmark it for easy future access.
(2) in the search box, type agen and make a pause while Firefox filter list
(3) scroll down to the bottom and look for a preference named general.useragent.site_specific_overrides and confirm that it has its default value true. If it is set to false, press the reset button for it back to true.
(4) scroll back up and press the big button "+" to the left of the search box to add a new parameter
(A) the name of the preference must be general.useragent.override.google. com (for all Google sites) general.useragent.override.mail.google. com (for Gmail only)
If you type this, beware of the correction automatic insertion of spaces and be sure to remove those.
If paste, remove the part after that.
(B) on the right side, type Boolean and in the popup, change it to a String
(C) the value of the preference should be Android; Tablet; #Android; Mobile; -in other words, substituting Mobile for Tablet.
If you type, pay attention to the excess spaces.
If gluing, remove the preference name and extra space before this part.
(D) then click on create
If you open https://mail.google.com/ must now use the mobile layout.
Success?
Edit: To clarify the name of preference options.

Why Flash Player does not work with Firefox for Android Beta?
I activated the plugins (not just tap to play, enable) under display settings, but when I try for example www.speedtest.net , told me that I don't have Flash installed.

Firefox for Android User Agent TROUBLE
I use Firefox on my S4 Galaxy that has a screen size of 1080 x 1920 and Firefox is that it is a tablet. I'm running a custom 320 DPI. The question is that T-Mobile I am when I'm not. Please, I beg you, do an option to select the User Agent, the USER wishes to. This will allow me once again to use your web browser for Android. Thank you.

eval (Javascript) function does not work on Firefox for Android plugin
I'm trying to migrate a desktop plugin in Firefox for Android plugin, and I need to use the function "eval". When I run the plugin on mobile, it blocks when eval(). That's what I do:
String adaptionFunction = getConcreteFunctionName();
eval (adaptionFunction);The first line returns something like this: __Application__.newList)
I also tried, but did not work:var tmpFunc = new Function ("adaptionFunction");
tmpFunc();What can I do? This same code works fine on the desktop.
Thanks for your time,Fam
There was a problem of logic, and eval works very well. I can't delete this post, so I answer here.

Why do I need to have an account to use Ffx for Android mobile? I've never used an account for any browser Firefox.
Seems I can't even ask the question without having to open an account!
Catch 22 defined.You do not need an account of Firefox to use Firefox, simply there if you want to use the synchronization service to synchronize bookmarks and other data between your desktop Firefox installation and your mobile installation. (I don't personally use Sync, not since the installation of office has a lot of old baggage that bogged down my mobile.)

I have Firefox for my laptop and wanted to use it on my phone Android mobile phone. When I saw under permissions that the application can access photos and videos and can take photos and videos that seemed very odd. Does anyone know of a work around to keep the app to take photos and videos without my permission? I do not want to uninstall but can allow the intrusion of privacy.
We have a help article about why this permission is here: how Firefox for Android uses the requested permissions?
Specifically, some sites may give you the option to attach or embed an image directly from the camera instead of going through a folder of pictures already taken. In order to support this feature, Firefox requires permissions to access the camera. However, according to this article, Firefox will ask your permission before leaving the site to use the camera. I don't think I have ever seen this in action.
