Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Anyone know what is happening? In the past month or so trying to view websites on iPhone, even on Firefox has become impossible.

The number and size of ads has metastasized to the point they block out all content. Is this a new trend? Is it my settings?

Who is responsible for this shift — the website ad settings or the browsers? Is it Google further breaking the internet?

For the neurodiverse, it’s an accessibility issue as well as a dystopian nightmare.

Please tell me there’s a way to fight this apart from permanent reader mode. This has vastly reduced our use of the internet. Each site feels like a trap and a scam.

The ads cause anxiety as well as irritation and general thwartedness as I cannot reach the content! What are these people/bots thinking?

Thanks

Firefox Sync is not syncing bookmarks from Windows to iPhone.

The issue persists even after creating a completely new Firefox Account, creating a new Firefox profile, reinstalling Firefox, and testing on a different network.

Environment Windows 11 Firefox 153.0 (64-bit) Firefox downloaded from mozilla.org (not Microsoft Store) Firefox for iPhone (latest version) VPN disabled Windows Defender only (no third-party antivirus) Problem

Bookmarks created on the iPhone never appear on the Windows PC.

Bookmarks created on the Windows PC also never appear on the iPhone.

The iPhone currently contains more than 1,000 bookmarks.

Tabs and account sign-in appear to work normally, but bookmark synchronization does not.

Troubleshooting already performed Created a new Firefox profile. Reinstalled Firefox. Created a completely new Firefox Account. Signed out and signed back in. Reset Sync. Verified that bookmark sync is enabled. Confirmed services.sync.engine.bookmarks = true. Tested with VPN disabled. Tested using a mobile hotspot instead of the home network. Verified DNS resolution using nslookup. Verified Mozilla servers are reachable from Chrome. Confirmed Firefox DNS settings are default: network.trr.mode = 0 network.dns.disableIPv6 = false Sync log observations

The Sync log reports that bookmark changes are detected:

Sync.Engine.Bookmarks.BookmarkSyncUtils pushChanges: Processed change records: {"updated":9}

However, the log never contains a request similar to:

POST ... /storage/bookmarks

Therefore, bookmark changes appear to be detected locally but are never uploaded to the Sync server.

In different sync attempts, I have also observed intermittent network-related errors such as:

NS_ERROR_NET_RESET NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST

For example:

Failed to fetch symmetric keys. Not syncing: login returned false.

and

The lookup of the hostname failed.

However, DNS resolution and connectivity appear normal outside Firefox:

nslookup successfully resolves Mozilla Sync hosts. ping succeeds. Opening https://profile.accounts.firefox.com/v1/profile from Chrome returns the expected HTTP 401 Unauthorized response ("Bearer token not provided"), indicating the server is reachable. Additional information

Because the iPhone contains more than 1,000 bookmarks, I would also like to know whether Firefox Sync has any known limitations or issues related to synchronizing large bookmark collections.

Expected behavior

Bookmarks created on either device should synchronize to the other device.

Actual behavior

Bookmark changes are detected locally but never uploaded, and no bookmark synchronization occurs in either direction.

I would appreciate any guidance on additional diagnostics or whether this could be a Firefox Sync bug.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with web.whatsapp.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails. web.whatsapp.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can't add an exception to visit this site.

When I try to view pages of art on the site COMIC ART FANS, Firefox sometimes opens the jpgs but sometimes only gives me a visual description of the artwork, no picture. Chrome opens these pages, so does safari, what's wrong with firefox?

Firefox is screwed up. Using iPad. Can’t find toolbar, can’t customize, ads interfering, everything looks totally different.wish I could talk to a human who can help me.Firefox used to be my preferred browser.

Survey prompts every time I open app for first time. Regardless of answer nothing happens. How do I make it go away permanently? I’m fine with taking a survey but it just doesn’t open.

While In the British Virgin Island would it be possible to stream Pandora or Spotify through the Mozilla VPN? Would the streaming platforms think I am in the US? I’ll be using my IPad Pro 13 or my Iphone 17. Would I simply open the Pandora app on my device or would I need to log into the pandora site through the Mozilla browser? Thank you, BF
