Firefox za iOS Community Forum

ARRGH!!! Firefox used to be good! I want to use it for the little browsing I'm forced to do on the phone because I think it's pretty secure, but it is really impossible to deal with the way you all have the tabs arranged!

I open the app to find a tab I've recently used, to show someone something and the tabs are gone. There's a box with a number, and the tabs are in there, but in a totally inconvenient format where anyone who is with me can see all the pages I have open as I scroll through to find the one I want to show them. It's very annoying.

So instead of just being able to scroll the tabs back and forth and choose the one I want, where it's just the tabs with descriptions in type so small nobody but me could read them, I have to open that effing stupid page and then angle my phone, so curious clients or family or others who happen to be next to or behind me can't see all the tabs I have open. It's awkward and weird.

I just don't need people giving me a hard time about, or even trying to discuss with me, politics or art or anything else I've opened but don't choose to share with them. Your design makes it so I sometimes have to. Seriously Mozilla, what the eff are you people thinking?

I don't want to be confined to some developer's idea of how I should be browsing. Just give us choices, Mozilla!

After updating to version 129.2 on my iPhone, I can no longer rearrange my tabs. I can tap and hold on a tab and move it but then it snaps back to the old position. This is making the browser unusable for me. I have tried closing and reopening the app and restarting my iPhone but neither worked.

When I try to sync and save from a firebox tab I get an error message that says it didn’t work and asks to reload. I try to reload and it doesn’t reload but keeps giving me the same error. I am trying to sync to my iPhone 15. Please help and thank you

I quit firefox (accidentally). When I reopened Firefox, all of my tabs were gone! I have only been able to recover the most recent tabs, not the older ones. How do I recover all the tabs that I had opened in Firefox?

I have a lot of open firefox tabs on my ipad (some are in ‘inactive’ mode, but many are open. The tabs look blank in regular view. But when I click the three lines, I can see miniatures of the pages in grid form (and a very partial url above, but not enough to copy), so I can tell they must still be there in firefox’s memory, but when I click on any of the pages, a blank page with no url opens. Where are my tabs? Why can’t I get them back? I’m set to sync, but only tabs from iphone sync to ipad; the ones from ipad aren’t syncing to iphone. I’d be very grateful if someone knew what was happening and could help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi, reacently private tabs started to be deleted whenever I close firefox, is this intentional? it used to be that when one closed ff and reopened it it would take them to home page in non private mode, but the private tabs would remain accesable. If thats a new feature I ask you kindly to make a toggle for ios to make it costumizable: close open private tabs when ff is closed: y/n

Firefox has been closing all of my private tabs whenever the app restarts. I got a new phone recently and it only happens now on this phone. I've been wondering if it's something in the settings but I can't seem to find anything.

While using Firefox iOS on Fox News and other websites, the page constantly refreshes itself. It’s amazingly annoying. I searched the web but no answer. Seems so easy to fix on android and windows devices.

The behavior of Firefox on my iPad when long-pressing a link and selecting the “Open link in new tab” option is counter to how it should operate. It opens the link in a new background tab. It should open the link in a new tab and bring that tab to the foreground, like it does in the desktop app.

Firefox for iOS version 127.0 (42448) deletes tabs when app is closed. The option to keep tabs when the apps is closed has been removed from the privacy menu. So how can I configure the app to keep tabs between sessions?

Ever since I updated the app, all of my tabs keep disappearing when I close the app. I’ve kept a lot of tabs on my Firefox app, and it’s very upsetting that I keep losing the tabs that I need. Is there any fix?

From time to time firefox deletes suddenly all my tabs in normal as in private browsing. Also few years ago I could turn off the „close private tabs“ option in setting, but since firefox cleared off everything (again), that option ain‘t available anymore. Someone pls help.

I’m having a problem very similar to the one described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1421173 from last year. Ever since the version 127.0 update from last week, all my private tabs are GONE. My regular tabs, including inactive tabs, are fine but more than 40 private tabs were lost (and I’m pissed because the nature of what those tabs were makes them very difficult to go re-find). Now, anything I open as a private tab vanishes if I leave the app for more than just a moment, even if I left it open to that tab. It makes the private browsing function effectively unusable for anything I’m not gonna just sit down and do in one sitting.

I don’t expect my 40+ lost tabs recovered, it’s a pain but it’ll be fine, but the function issue is NOT fine and needs to be fixed!
