Hi, yesterday I installed Firefox 91.4.0 and all was ok.
But each time I want to use my phone (not specially for firefox), firefox always start. I wake my phone with the power button and firefox start.
How can I remove this autostart.
I have an S9+ with /e/ buyed online.
Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online services
That is a first for me. Never heard of that issue before.
Hmm, maybe try this. My /e/ only goes up to Pie so not sure if the info will apply.
Go to Settings â Trust â Privacy Guard.
Find Firefox and long-press on it. Youâll see a list of permissions(?) or appops. See if thereâs anything there that may relate. Is there a âStart at power upâ entry. If so it probably doesnât have a toggle. Long-press on it and you may see options similar toâŚ
Allowed
Ignored
Always Ask
Select âIgnoredâ and see what happens.
Otherwise, have no clue about this one.
Never seen that, either âŚ
Where did you get it from ?
As this is a new Firefox install, I assume you donât have much data.
So, what gives a un/re-install using official source ?
I got it from apps hub, it was a new install, nothing before.
I tried to unsinstall/reinstall and till now, no effect.
I remembered that all began after I used it to read a QR code. Perhaps it is a side effect.

You can try to enable Developer Mode, then âKill app back buttonâ.
Then use is against Firefox (long-press on back virtual button).
What Android and /e/ version are you running ?
it is the 0.18 version stable for S9+.
0.18-20210828132316
Unfortunately, Oreo is quite old and I donât have such device 
I installed Firefox on a 0.18.2 Q device, couldnât reproduce your problem âŚ
BTW, how do you usually exit Firefox ?
sometimes with the square button and the cross (up and right of Firefox when itâs reduced) but more often with the square button and swiping the app onto the left (or right).
Thatâs the right way 
Please also check that there isnât any Firefox notification awaiting.
Searching the web didnât return anything of interest
Does it open the standard home page, or any web site ?
Did you set it as default browser ?
I have no home site : I have to let the last web page otherwise it try to open google search
and itâs not my default browser.
This morning I had a notification classified as marketing (??) by the notification board (long press on the notification) and I removed it. It was the only âpbmâ since I reinstalled Firefox.
There is a setting in Firefox about:config for âapplication restartâ, recommended is false. I wonder if true would cause this behaviour?
nothing such as about:config in the android version
or I did not found it !
Youâll have to install a Beta or Nightly release : about:config | Firefox for Android Support Forum | Mozilla Support
I do not like unstable versions. I prefer to uninstall it.
thanks for answers.
