Firefox for iOS Community Forum

My wife recently ended up on a malicious site (onlineghostaccount.com) that appeared to cause Firefox to lock up. I think it trapped Firefox in an endless loop, because it wasn't even possible to close the tab or change to a different one. The only thing Firefox would respond to is a button on the malicious page that would take her to a scammer claiming to be Apple support. Fortunately, she didn't fall for it, but Firefox was rendered unusable for her until I could help her fix the problem. The quick fix to get Firefox operational again by closing Firefox, shutting off network access, and then re-launching Firefox so the malicious page can't load works, but is not helpful to non-technical people like my wife, because she doesn't understand what's happening or what to do about it.

My question is: Is there any way that Firefox could detect this type of "endless loop" behavior before the page loads, prevent it from loading, and popping a warning to the user?

Thanks! S.K.Ault

Firefox iOS 152.3 (73911) default bookmark folder names aren’t always displayed correctly. If you access your bookmarks you correctly see “Unsorted Bookmarks”, “Bookmarks Toolbar” and “Bookmarks Menu”. However, when you go these folders, the title changes to “unfiled”, “toolbar”, and “menu”.

I’m trying to find out what I need to do to keep safe browser because mine keeps getting hacked or something. I got a managed device apparently and I can’t even search the web to see how to fix it

Okay so this never happened with Chrome, so I'm assuming it's a firefox only issue. Whilst I'm watching a video, if said video is playing in fullscreen, it'll often fade to black during different parts, such as whenever a flash happens or quick cuts (e.g. a film with lightning strikes, causes it to fade to black and it stays like that). It is SUPER annoying and it causes me to have to rewind if I miss something because of it! I don't watch YouTube in fullscreen because of it, but it even does it in streaming services! I honestly have had enough but do not want to switch back to Chrome.

Took this photo of the movie Cruella because I knew there was loads of flashing lights at one scene. You can see that the video is faded but the rest isn't. The second image is when I click multiple times to try and stop it! But it happens again directly after.

And yes, I've tried the 'full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter' and 'leave' in Advanced Preferences.

I can’t seem to get rid of this website. It is called.SaYes ToHealth, now every time I go to my Firefox browser it pops up. I have hit unsubscribe multiple times and it does not leave my screen. It is a questionable website and I don’t know how it ever got through to get the information of my account which is leaking my email address.

I heavily use bookmarks and getting at them within Firefox on my iPhone is cumbersome. I would like whenever I create a new tab that it displays my bookmarks similar to the desktop Firefox or IOS Safari. I can get some weird set of "favorites" or other almost random bookmarks but I want my regular set of bookmarks. I've tried various schemes but still haven't found one that is satisfactory. This is the only thing keeping me from making Firefox my default browser.

Thanks.

When I create an account on any website, Firefox proposes a strong password and I use the prompt to automatically fill in the "create passwords" fields.

However, Firefox doesn't seem to save that password to be used for subsequent logins. I am not seeing any "save passwords" prompts after creating an account.

Perhaps related: During account creation sometimes a website ask for your home address. Firefox doesn't seem to have an autofill prompt for my address.

I was wondering if the issue was due to my decide (iPhone 14, 26.6.2) so I tried the account creation process on chrome and it worked without problems.

Maybe my Firefox settings are hindering somehow ? I have the strict privacy protections switched on. Reading on the potential limitations it wasn't clear to me that address autofill and password saving was going to be affected.

How can I log into 2 different firefox accounts on ios? In Firefox app there is no option to sign-in to second account, and there is no other Firefox browser that lets me log in, that would have helped 2 different accounts using different browsers. Is this possible?
