Firefox vir iOS Community Forum

Ad blocker has worked flawlessly on my iPhone until today. Don’t know what changed, but there are ads everywhere. How do I make it block ads again? The internet is totally unusable with ads on every page!!!

I want to inform you about something. My favorite browser is firefox, but firefox has a big problem. When you go to another app and come back to where it was in the firebox, it disappears. It is a big problem. Change the update. I have posted a video below.

Hello, I recently got an iPad 10th Gen and setup Firefox on it. During setup it asked if I’d like the navigation bar on the top or bottom. Being a traditionalist myself I went ahead and chose top, however during use I realized that I would prefer the navigation bar on the bottom since I always hold the iPad near the bottom and like to use a minimized swipe key I put on the lower right hand corner.

The problem is that the toolbar settings that I would normally find under Menu->Settings->General->Toolbar normally located under the Themes option (like I would find on my iPhone) is now missing and short of uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app I have no idea how else to change this or even find the toolbar option at all under settings. I’ve attempted opening the debug by tapping Firefox version under the about section 5x and I still can’t find it there either. Please help.

Why there is a lot of adds on some apps, if you want to open first you must whatch the add and then the app will be opened, especially in boomplaying if you want to download a music the add come fast. So thats why?

Hi! I was given a link to scan my device for the ability to opt out of third party advertisement cookies and that scan said that I cannot block third party cookies because Firefox prevents it. (See attached photos from iOS apps and Windows 11 Desktop browser.)

Is that true? … as I was under the impression that your browsers were all over this topic and were helping us stop the tracking etc. and were lin compliance or we’re supporting the Digital Advertising Alliances opt out policies and principles? Or is this a Safari problem on iOS only since you have to build your browser around a Safari core?

The scan ran was from both Firefox Focus and Firefox apps on iOS 18.0.1 on an iPhone 11 and with Firefox desktop browser version 131.0.3 in Windows 11. If there is some setting that I am supposed to tweak so that my opt out choice from the DAA is hindered, then please let me know as I thought that I had already set up everything correctly to stop the tracking/ads.

I know you guys are doing great work, and keep it up!

I bring up settings and try to click “data management” and it does nothing. I keep trying and get frustrated and slam my finger so hard on it that my finger hurts with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

I do not have a toolbar setting that I can find on my Firefox installation on my iPad. I want to move the toolbar from top to bottom, but I can’t do it. I’ve tried reinstalling and selecting “bottom” for the toolbar location in the tour, even after clearing all data, and it doesn’t move. Should be so easy!

Dear Firefox Team,

I am writing to propose an enhancement for your iOS and Android, as well as desktop applications, that would greatly benefit users with visual impairments. It would also benefit anyone who is aware that they are in need of supplementary assistance in the absorption of information and knowledge, such as myself (for context; I am an adult with autism and ADHD). Specifically, I suggest adding an accessibility feature that provides verbal dictation of the text on the phone. This addition would significantly improve the experience for users with limited or no sight or potentially even other types of disabilities.

As a friendly neighborhood computer consultant, I recommend Firefox as the default browser to my friends and family because of its strong commitment to privacy. Additionally, a partnership with DuckDuckGo could further underscore your dedication to user privacy.

I appreciate your consideration of these suggestions and look forward to seeing your continued innovation and reaction to my notes. Enhancing accessibility features not only supports inclusivity but could also attract new users and potentially open up advertising opportunities. I am eager to share more ideas in the future and would be delighted to contribute to your mission in any way possible.

Best regards,

Seth Noreman [edited phone# from public community support forum]

P.S. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. I am also available to help create promotional materials or tutorial videos on how to use these accessibility features, leveraging my background in digital art and my unique perspective as an adult with autism.

Thank you for your time.

I am using Firefox 124.2 (40108) on my iPhone with iOS 16.7.7 (20H330) and using DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. Loading settings with their Cloud Save service does not work as expected: the settings reset each time you restart the app.

How to get DuckDuckGo settings to persist across sessions in the app?
