When I am using Firefox for iOS, and I click on any text input, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This bar contains nothing apart from ‘↑ ↓ Done’ on the right. This bar is really annoying and moves the page around irritatingly.

If I click ‘Done’ it will temporarily remove the bar until I click on a text input again, and it will appear again.

I would like to know if this is something to do with Firefox or the device iOS settings.

Until the latest Firefox update, I could select the menu options, now in the three dots, and select Share which would give me several sharing options such as text, email, printer, etc. Now there is no option to Share so I have to copy the URL, close my web browser, open another app such as email or text, enter the addressee, paste the URL, send the message, close that app and return to the web browser. 8 steps that used to be completed in 4 steps within the open page in my web browser. Why was Share removed?

I’m running Firefox 131.4 (46621) on my iPhone 12.

I’m setting up a new Mac, and I’m trying to sync the freshly installed Firefox (132.0.1 aarch64) with my other FF instances.

The sync instructions ask if I have FF for mobile, then provide a QR code and give these instructions: 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu /// on iOS and tap «Sync and save data» 3. Tap «Ready to scan» and hold your phone over this code

There is *no* «Sync and save data» menu item, and I can’t find any other location where I might scan a QR code.


Er, help?
