From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/18762.
Steps to reproduce
Go into DeX mode and try to resize Firefox
Expected behaviour

Actual behaviour
It's not
Device information
Various devices with Samsung DeX (i.e. Samsung S8, S9, S10, s20, Note 8, Note 9, Note 10, Note 20, A90, Galaxy Tab S4, Galaxy Tab S5e, Galaxy Tab S6, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+)
- Firefox for Android version:
87.0.0-rc 1
More information
This is not about making some UI changes or getting the Desktop version of a website (therefore its not a duplicate of 3107, 10631, 12590, 2344, 3999, 4498, 4134, 10607, 4140, 4203 or others)!
This issue is just about making Firefox resizeable(!) on devices that support a desktop environment like Samsung DeX.
To solve this it only needs the
android:resizeableActivity
set to true in theAndroidManifest.xml
.
Other apps like NewPipe, MaterialFiles, AntennaPod, SkyTube, Vinyl, Joplin, Kiwix, Zapp or GitNex also needed this simple patch.Samsung also has some documentation on that.
Alternatively users could activate experimental features in system settings (DeX Labs — see screenshot) but this is probably not very user friendly and activating experimental features might not be great for everyone.
PS: You might as well activate screen mirroring support via
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.keepalive.density" android:value="true"/>
and dual mode via
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.multidisplay.keep_process_alive" android:value="true"/>
at this point.
