@moodroid ... I just bought some 3a and 3a XL for a project where I needed a Linux Phone ... And my first experience was to be 4 hours fighting and finishing with a "bricked" 3a ... ahhhh ... just that was not bricked and I didn't understand several things about the process (I am writing my own manual with the details). At the end, that Android 9 permanent Google splash screen after using the flash-all.bat is annoying, but not wrong. Just need to continue with the UBports installation and at the end you will have an operational Ubuntu Touch phone working. Other thing .... the current Google instructions for backport are USELESS, as they already erased the information about the 3a or 3a XL. There is a WIRELESS version that doesn't work because it is not possible to downgrade the phone ... (Android limitation), so you need to use a FACTORY version, unpack the ZIP file and follow the instructions, to finish with the bricked phone. I found one, but after so many URLs I am not sure where I had it ... could some official Touch source to publish an official FACTORY URL for 3a (sargo) and 3a XL (bonito) images? ... again, don't say that read the Android references, because they are no longer working with these Pixel phones. It seems that UBPorts just needs the phone to have some Android 9 things there. And well, I even erased all the phone, but rebooting it and playing with Power and Power volume buttons, makes the PC script to recognize the phone and deliver the Android 9 version. What about another Android version? ... in my initial desperation, I also tested that, but the installation fails. So cool your head a little and just do the things with calm and everything happy. The Flash Android tools downgraded a 3a XL without any trouble, Just Development mode, USB Debugging and the OEM Ulocking, and to accept some questions here and there and ready, Android 9. The only I need to figure is how to turn off the Unlocking option since I have no more Android in the phone and I don't need Android there again ... maybe one of these days

@arubislander said in Firefox 2023: @gdegrez there is no Focal for any of the BQ devices. There was some promising work initiated but other priorities likely took precedence. Well, I guess that the overwhelming majority of the community thinks that the main interest of UBtouch is for smartphones, whereas I personally think its main advantage is for tablets. But it is also true that the BQ devices are a rather old hardware. As a general rule though, if Focal is not selectable during install or as an update channel, that is because it is not available for the designated device. OK. Good to know. Thanks.

A shame it cant be moved, i'm left handed, so hold the phone with my right hand, which makes the left side launcher uncomfortable to use, going to add it as a suggestioni think, im sure im not the only leftie using UT!

Sorted - thanks very much

What do you mean by "desktop" here exactly? If you mean the black bar of stacked icons on the left, that is the launcher. You can pin apps to the launcher by long pressing on them while they are running, and un-pin similarly. Running apps always appear there, and you can tap on the icons to switch. The app spread is what you get with the long swipe from the right, showing the live previews of apps. This is basically the same as when you press Alt+Tab on a PC to switch between apps/windows. Scopes are special and no you can't close the dash application, however in a future update the scopes will be going away completely. The replacement for the apps scope (where you currently launch applications), is the app drawer, which will be opened with long swipe from left, or by tapping the big logo button on the launcher.
