Samsung Galaxy Four Choosing Browsers

i tried an early android version of FF
it was slow and cumbersome
i went back to Chrome on Android both phone and tablet

new versions of android FF might be better

i visit the same forums plus amazon and ebay
simply amintaining being logged in keeps the web pages synced
for me htting refresh, bring the current page to match the other device
does not sync search pages, and other web surfing
but emails, forums sits with login, works well for me, by clicking refresh

I fumbled my way through erasing it or deleting it or dumping - whatever it's called. I want it to get along with Firefox on the laptop. I wouldn't know good--better-best browser if it crept up behind me and bit me in the butt.

I have a galaxy s4 and use Firefox as my browser all the time. Even have it synced with my tablet and desktop. Do not have the problem you are having.

Now, problem is I am not smart enough to tell you why it works for me and not you. I still have chrome available on my phone but rarely use it. It is a good browser but I like having mine synced with my other units.

You sure got that right! I added to your statement above in the {} ;)

Hi Mex

I use Brave Browser on all my devices. (phone & tabs)

It is set as default. On some app updates you may have to re-designate the default browser.

Yep you are wasting your storage space on Firefox. Chrome is a very good browser, and it is part of the Android operating system. I'm not sure you can set any other browser as a default on an Android system. On Windows you can use any of them.

It's POSSIBLE that somewhere you can go into Firefox and make it your default browser and that will "stick." But I sort of doubt it.

Samsung/Android...CHROME is the built in browser of choice. Not a bad system.....

I had to look it up - I usually kill off everything else and let Chrome be the default.
